Whalley Sample Shop in New Haven's been around forever, apparently, and it's definitely a go-to for men’s stuff. I've heard it's *the* place if you're hunting for suits, but they also do the whole range, from everyday clothes to dressy things. They’ve got shoes and accessories too, which is convenient, and I guess the real draw is their tailoring. They make sure everything fits just right. The shop's kinda old school vibes, focusing on keeping up with trends without charging too much.

XclusiveCops in New Haven is seriously a go-to. They have all sorts of stuff, you know, sneakers and apparel. And a ton of brands that people are interested in. You could probably find what you're looking for. It sounds like they buy, sell, also trade. So that's a great way to, perhaps, clean out your closet?
Apparently, people are really into the staff there, which is nice to hear when there's so many businesses that are not great. Reviewers keep saying they're friendly and helpful, creating a cool environment. The store is also praised for keeping things clean and organized - important! - with a lot of different shoes and clothes. There are some people saying pricing can be off on some things, and service can be hit or miss, though overall it seems people are getting good deals and trust the products, and are getting great customer service and responsiveness on social media.

World Brother Beauty Supply is this interesting spot in New Haven; they sell both beauty supplies and clothes, which is pretty convenient. Seriously, you can find basically any hair product there - so many wigs, weaves, and all the accessories. Plus, from what I understand, their whole deal is being a place that caters to all sorts of people, which is great, and they have beard care items too. And there's also a clothing section with some affordable pieces, which I guess is a cool bonus. Should someone be searching for the "best clothing store" then I will recommend they consider giving this place a stop.
Honestly, people seem to really dig the place for a lot of reasons and no one has had negative experiences. They always say the staff's super helpful, so that's definitely a plus. Most are happy with the prices, and love how it's a one-stop shop; they have everything from hair extensions to makeup, even clothes and jewelry, which is a game changer. Also, it sounds like the location rocks, and there's enough parking, but others may have differing opinions on that.

#5 J.Crew
29 Broadway, New Haven, CT 06511
Thursday: [10 AM-8 PM], Friday: [10 AM-8 PM], Saturday: [10 AM-8 PM], Sunday: [11 AM-6 PM], Monday: [10 AM-8 PM], Tuesday: [10 AM-8 PM], Wednesday: [10 AM-8 PM]
J.Crew in New Haven carries, you know, a pretty wide selection of clothing and accessories for men and women. They're going for that whole "see it in person, try it on" thing with their inventory. It is worth considering them, if your in the market, for current trends in New Haven.
It seems customers do love the store mostly. Plenty of people are mentioning the helpful staff, especially Lucy, Cindy, Megan, and Luis for really great service and figuring stuff out when there's a problem. Its nice to hear people sing praises for staff. People have said that its location is convenient and the layout is easy to navigate, and the fitting rooms are nice and comfortable. There's been a few, negative, reviews about staff and return policies, the overall feel of the place, and inclusivity, that I'd be wary about them.

#6 Rainbow Shops
788 Chapel St, New Haven, CT 06510
Rainbow Shops in New Haven is pretty much a go-to if you're trying to find something cute without dropping too much cash. You can usually score jeans, skirts, leggings, even pajama bottoms and tops, plus boots and random accessories. Seriously, it's probably the best option in New Haven, especially if you are broke. They seem to be focusing on staying on top of trends, ensuring there is something in their clothes for everyone.
What's not to love about the amazing prices and all the sales they always have happening? The clothes are also really diverse. I've heard from people that the store is also typically clean and organized. It seems a lot of shoppers can't get enough of the affordable stuff. Though, a few folks have mentioned not having the best experience when it comes to the employees, saying some can be rude or have a bad attitude, and apparently the lines can get kind of long, too. At least some people think the staff is helpful, though.

#7 Urban Outfitters
43 Broadway, New Haven, CT 06511
Thursday: [11 AM-8 PM], Friday: [11 AM-9 PM], Saturday: [11 AM-9 PM], Sunday: [11 AM-6 PM], Monday: [11 AM-8 PM], Tuesday: [11 AM-8 PM], Wednesday: [11 AM-8 PM]
Okay, so Urban Outfitters in New Haven? It's a clothing shop around there, or so I hear, with a reputation for somewhat of an unorthodox style that's reflected in their stock. They have really cute clothes, but it's a bit pricey. I guess the draw is that it's more than just somewhere to buy new jeans or a top; it has, also, a lot of home decor. Honestly, I think it's the aesthetic they go for, you know? That slightly-too-cool-for-school thing that makes it popular.
Word on the street is the atmosphere there is really something, customers say its "chill" and that the shop feels uniquely designed. If their social media accounts are anything to go by, their music seems pretty good, too, if that's your kind of music. I've heard the employees are great, especially if you need help. Some shoppers feel some of their clothing prices are a bit high but they're often having sales.

#8 Work Hard Dress Right
2 Howe St, New Haven, CT 06511
Thursday: [9 AM-5 PM], Friday: [8 AM-5 PM], Saturday: [Closed], Sunday: [Closed], Monday: [9 AM-5 PM], Tuesday: [9 AM-5 PM], Wednesday: [9 AM-5 PM]
Work Hard Dress Right, situated in New Haven, is a clothing store that specializes in work uniforms, especially medical attire; think scrubs for doctors and nurses. They used to do embroidery on site, but I heard that's outsourced these days. They apparently have Dansko shoes too, although from what I gather its not the biggest selection out there.
People rave how friendly and helpful the staff are – Amy, Carrie, and Helder get shout-outs all the time – and that makes a huge difference in the overall shopping experience. Customers really appreciate their patience and how efficient they are when it comes to figuring out uniform needs. I saw some reviews online where people say the staff goes the extra mile to make sure everything fits right and the service is quick, plus they create a welcoming vibe. Of course, there's always gonna be a few downsides. Some customers have mentioned delays with online orders, and a couple of folks had issues with how accurate the embroidery turned out. Also, people had trouble getting a hold of someone on the phone.
