<p>DRab, Barney's is a high-end department store for young urban professionals, sort of a hipper smaller Sacks (Sacks merchandise/taste sucks.)</p>

<p>On the subject of shopping at Berkeley, and beyond clothes:
-Berkeley has the best grocery store in North America, the Berkeley Bowl. No other store compares in terms of variety, freshness and prices
-Berkeley (and immediate vicinity) has the best group of wine stores in North America. Yes, even better than New York City's!
-Berkeley has the best collection of music stores in the west coast, along with SF
-Berkeley has the best collection of bookstores in the west coast, if not the US (except for NYC)</p>

<p>American Apparel!!</p>

<p>I don't know, CalX, I think food is more interesting than clothing. I'd be more excited if they got a Barney's Burgers. :)</p>

<p>"Formal for what? Internship interviews? Career fairs? Frat formals?"</p>

<p>How is each different? Please explain! Thanks!!</p>

25

<p>Interviews - err on the business formal side of things, unless you're interviewing for like a position at, say, the library (in which case you should still dress nicely). So full suiting for boys and girls, nice shoes </p>

<p>Career fairs - plenty of students show up in campus casual, since career fairs are held on regular school days. however, it doesn't hurt to look a little bit more cleaned up. Polos, button-ups, khakis...</p>

<p>Frat formals - Like prom, I guess, but not as prom-y. Boys are in suits, and girls wear dresses.</p>

<p>ewww to American Apparel. I'm not really into their stuff. no offense to anyone who love it btw;)</p>

27

<p>and ewww to Abercrombie. They are racists.</p>

28

<p>American Apparel looks great- the prices (and probably the labor) suck, but the simple clothing with no writing does rock. Abercrombie does suck though. And they don't carry the color black. Period. :eek:</p>

<p>what's the matter with Abercrombie?</p>
