Try stores like Ross. You can usually find plenty of American Eagle, or stuff they sell at PacSun there. Also, try outlet stores and hit the clearance racks! I've gotten stuff for $2 and $3 before. You just have to have time to invest in looking.

Well, to start, you can shop in the sale/clearance sections, just like I do whenever I go to those stores or any type of clothing store in general. I am not the type to spend that much either. I never pay full-price on clothing, because it will eventually go on sale due to the change in season and style. Then, there are stores like Ross, Marshall's, or TJ Maxx. They carry name brand items sold at discount prices. When department stores cannot sell these items (because no one bought it), then they are shipped to these discount stores for re-sale at a lot lower prices. However, I doubt they sell clothes from any of the stores you named. The brands they usually sell are Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica, Guess, Ralph Lauren, etc. I think you catch my drift. But the one thing about these discount stores is that you really have to have a lot of time to scavenge through their rubble. Well, maybe it's not as bad as that sounds, but you would really need a lot of time to shop at those stores to find what you like.
And as far as your parent situation goes, I would suggest that you ask for an allowance and/or get a part-time job so you can spend it on whatever you want and pay for your own brand name clothes. I am sure they won't have a problem with that at all! It would just require a little more work on your part, but I bet it would be a lot easier than begging and pleading your penny-pinching parents to take you shopping.

You can look on eBay and a lot of these brand names are sold for really cheap on there. The only thing is, a lot of the clothes on eBay are used, but if you don't care, it's OK.
Same goes for stores llike Turnaround, which is a store we have in Denver that buys people's slightly used clothes from brand-name stores only and then sells them for really cheap. It's much nicer than a thrift store. Look for a store like that in your area.
One more idea- would your parents allow you to get a part-time, after-school job so you can buy whatever clothes you want without having to ask them? You could work at the mall at one of the stores you like even, and then you could get a sweet discount on clothes there. (I used to work at Express and I got a 30% discount. Nice!!!) Also, part-time jobs look good on college applications, so it would kill two birds with one stone. Good luck!

This is an easy fix. Believe it or not, you can find alot of brand name (or stuff that looks like it) at yard sales, thirft stores or Salvation Army. I found LOTS of American Eagle and Old Navy stuff there thats only a few bucks. Sometimes I get lucky and find stuff with tags still on them, and at a fourth of the orginal price.

attempt ebay in the journey that your finding for traditional or something specific. additionally places like asda, tesco and so on yet you wont get plenty extra fee-effective than boohoo. on the different hand pass on your extreme street and primark, peacocks and so on are all dirt low-priced!

Definetly EBAY. I shop there for me and my kids. They sell new and used items. Starting bids from .01cent and up.
