#1 Miss Match Boutique
1201 1st St #217, San Diego, CA 92118
Monday: [11 AM-6 PM], Tuesday: [11 AM-6 PM], Wednesday: [11 AM-6 PM], Thursday: [11 AM-6 PM], Friday: [10 AM-7 PM], Saturday: [10 AM-7 PM], Sunday: [10 AM-7 PM]
Miss Match Boutique in San Diego is seriously worth checking out if you're hunting for cute clothes. They seem to have a pretty wide range of styles, so whether you're more into dresses or jeans, you'll find something. Plus, it's supposed to be affordable, a real find for those of us needing outfits for work *and* hitting up happy hour later, maybe a casual Saturday morning errand run. From what I've seen, it looks like they carry a good range of sizes too, which is honestly a huge plus, you know?
And speaking of pluses, loads of people rave about how awesome the staff is there, especially Vanessa and Cindy, seems they really go above and beyond. I did read a random person complain that they weren't greeted in the store once, but mostly there's reports of helpfulness, styling advice and them being just plain friendly. What is so cool is they'll even do alterations which helps so much when nothing is ever *exactly* the right length. Apparently, wearing stuff from there guarantees compliments, aint that great?

#2 Sew Loka
2113 Logan Ave Suite B, San Diego, CA 92113
Monday: [Closed], Tuesday: [Closed], Wednesday: [12-4 PM], Thursday: [12-4 PM], Friday: [12-6 PM], Saturday: [12-6 PM], Sunday: [12-4 PM]
Sew Loka in Barrio Logan sounds like the perfect spot to find something truly special for your closet. You can find reworked vintage pieces alongside custom designs, and she does amazing work with coin purses and bags. It's a clothing store that champions local artistry, with a positive energy. I heard she made 10k masks during the pandemic and she's got a crop fleece embroidery sweater that says "Brown AF" which is hilarious and original.
Claudia, who I believe is the owner, seems to be the heart of the business, and people rave about her talent and how kind she is. Apparently, she's super skilled at sewing, doing everything from alterations to creating custom designs and she makes you feel right at home when you pop by, plus the atmosphere is welcoming and joyful, from the sound of it. Her dedication to upcycling is another big draw, with people appreciating the unique designs and the option to customize items. I read one reviewer mentioned Sew Loka was San Diego's best for 2023, and that's impressive!

#3 CALI Strong: The California Sports Company
789 W Harbor Dr UNIT 142, San Diego, CA 92101
Monday: [12-7 PM], Tuesday: [12-7 PM], Wednesday: [12-7 PM], Thursday: [12-7 PM], Friday: [12-7 PM], Saturday: [11 AM-7 PM], Sunday: [12-7 PM]
Cali Strong, California Sports Company, is supposed to be this really cool clothing store in San Diego, and I've been told they have all sorts of Cali-themed things. Supposedly, you can find unique stuff, it might be hats where you can switch out the patches -- which sounds kinda fun, I guess? They might also have cool socks, skate shoes, hoodies, and even clothes that glow in the dark, its giving me raver vibe. From what I can gather, it seems like the whole point is offering comfy and stylish California gear, but I also wonder if that is overpriced because of the location.
Anyway, from what I've read, people are really happy with their experience. Lots of folks mention Jim, Lance, Brandon, and Jenn by name and how friendly, and how helpful they are being. And it seems to have a fun vibe cause a lot of the reviews talk about games in the store, free stuff, and this welcoming atmosphere that makes shopping an actual, like, experience. Also, the clothes are reportedly good quality too. The Rasta hoodie is often brought up, its supposedly comfy, durable, and the designs are one of a kind, which is awesome. However, there was this one review about someone’s online order being a mess, which sucks cause who want an unexpected refund with no one explaining what happened, ya know?

#4 Crazy Shirts
853 W Harbor Dr STE. C, San Diego, CA 92101
Monday: [10 AM-9 PM], Tuesday: [10 AM-9 PM], Wednesday: [10 AM-9 PM], Thursday: [10 AM-9 PM], Friday: [10 AM-9 PM], Saturday: [10 AM-9 PM], Sunday: [10 AM-9 PM]
Crazy Shirts in San Diego has quite the reputation, from what I've heard. It's supposedly *the* spot for t-shirts; I think their dye methods are what makes them stand out amongst a bunch of stores. Seriously, I've read stuff that they're using chocolate, beer, and even Kona coffee to dye the shirts! It gives them really unique colors, and sometimes, even a scent, which is kind of cool, right? They seem to have a good range of styles, too; Hawaiian shirts, long-sleeves, so everyone can find something.
I've seen so many reviews raving about the staff – apparently, they go above and beyond to help you find exactly what you want and are always so friendly. The names Darlene and Carmen come up repeatedly. The general consensus sounds that the shirts are worth the money because they're quality and the designs are super original. I read one that someone owned their shirt for over 20 years. Plus, I saw they're environmentally conscious, use Pima cotton (which is comfy). Basically, if you're looking for a souvenir, or just a really cool t-shirt, Crazy Shirts in Seaport Village should be on the list. There's a clearance section too, so maybe you'll get lucky, but I heard their stuff is a bit on the pricier side.

Urban Girl seems like the kind of place that understands my aesthetic, you know? From what I've seen, it's a novelty store with a curated vibe, kind of how Etsy would look if it were a physical space, offering a bunch of unique clothes, accessories, mugs, and little San Diego souvenirs – which is ideal if your looking for a gift. They seem to have a great selection that features creative designs, really nice colors, and that super cute beachy look.
A lot of reviews mention how it's their go-to for cute items, and that the location is super convenient since it's near other places to shop and grab a bite. Apparently some of the staff are awesome, with some people even dropping names, Rosie and Charlotte, for being extra helpful and kind; this makes a huge difference. Of course, you'll always find someone complaining about the price being a little high or about the customer service; but I mean, where don't you see complaints? However, it does sound like the place to get touristy things like mugs and books, and clothes, and surfing merchandise. The teenage girl in me would probably love it, too.

Day to Day Vintage in North Park seems to be a place where you can find all sorts of cool, one-of-a-kind pieces, they have so many reviews online! The selection sounds really diverse, ranging from vintage tees to jackets and dresses from different eras, if you into that style of clothing. It sounds like they prioritize finding unique items, which is a plus if you want something that no one else is going to have, however, some pieces might not be in great condition.
It sounds as though people generally love the vibe there, with reviewers mentioning how organized the store is, the awesome music, plus the staff always seem to be super friendly. Several names pop up a lot in the reviews, like Alex, Katriz, Carla, Josh, and Jen, and people compliment them for their excellent service; it is super hard to find amazing workers these days.

Bad Madge & Co. is this totally cute vintage shop nestled in San Diego's South Park, you know? Seriously, it's got a curated thing going on with vintage clothes, accessories, furniture; even cool housewares. They even have handcrafted stuff from local artists, plus tiki stuff and plants, so it's a great place to look for gifts for someone (or yourself).
People seem to love Bad Madge, mostly because of the high-quality vintage finds and fair prices - who doesn't like a bargain? Tanya, the owner, is always getting shout outs for being friendly and helpful, and I hear sometimes they even offer complimentary drinks, that's nice. I guess one person had a not-so-great experience with a stained item that they couldn't return.

Find Your Feet in San Diego seems to be a total sock emporium, catering to what feels like every possible sock need you could imagine, I wonder if they have a sock sommelier. You can find anything from ankle socks to those knee-high ones that actually fit, which is a total win, cause it's so hard to find ones that aren't too tight. And apparently, it's not just socks either; they've got sandals and those comfy Sanuk slip-ons for sale, too, how convenient?
What people seem to love most is the sheer variety of socks, ranging from pop culture references to sports team designs, plus the staff get a lot of shout-outs for being friendly and helpful, and who doesn't appreciate that in a store setting. Getting to reorder online after you've visited them is an extra bonus, and I think that's a good business move. One customer mentioned spending over $200, so it is worth it to find the perfect pair of socks!

SKECHERS in the Gaslamp definitely focuses on shoes. They stock a pretty decent range for women, men, and kids. If you need something work-appropriate, especially if you're required to wear slip-resistant shoes, it's probably worth checking out. It's definitely not a general clothing store situation or anything, but they do sometimes carry special edition footwear and sandals. You could find some good deals, which you know is what everyone's looking for in this economy.
People that shop there seem to consistently rave about the staff, which, honestly, is a huge selling point these days. Apparently, employees go out of their way for you there. I've read online they have helped customers find that perfect fit. It is really nice to hear stories about exchanges and returns going smoothly, too. Some folks have grumbled about not finding their size or desired style in stock, and I did see at least one comment about too many marketing emails afterward, but the overall vibe seems pretty positive. However, you might find prices are a bit higher than at your typical store.

I read a couple of comments though about online order shipping times and communication being a little slow, not all the reviews are positive.

Big 5 Sporting Goods seems to be a pretty solid option in San Diego if you're in the market for athletic gear. I understand they carry a wide range of stuff, from your standard sporting goods to camping equipment, plus clothes and shoes, and even some hunting and fishing things. Sounds like a one-stop-shop situation, and hey, who doesn't love the convenience of that?

Ace Uniforms in San Diego is, as far as I can tell, a pretty solid place to find professional clothing for a bunch of different careers. From what I’ve read, they definitely seem to cater to people in law enforcement, emergency services, and the medical field, but really anyone needing that kind of specific attire.

Tribal Streetwear has been around forever, since '89, and they’re a San Diego staple for streetwear.

Though, a couple people have reported issues with online orders, saying it took forever to ship and the communication wasn't good.

Marshalls in San Diego is pretty great; it's got a little of everything from clothes and shoes to home decor and even kitchen gadgets.

The place is usually tidy, which makes navigating the racks much easier, and a lot of reviews call out the staff as being super friendly and helpful.

Super7 sounds like a really neat place, and it's located somewhere in San Diego. It's stocked full of retro stuff, I think it's aimed at people who are fans of the 80s and 90s, I think. I'm gathering they have everything from action figures, you know, all the way to t-shirts, plus sweaters. You know, that kind of merch. I am guessing it's got a cool, nostalgic atmosphere since a ton of reviews mentioned those kind of vibes. I've heard it's total paradise for anyone who collects toys, so it makes me believe it could be a blast from the past for anyone interested in pop culture.
I get the impression that Super7 is a store people dig; since it seems many customers rave about the selection and that helpful, friendly staff. Apparently, they are real passionate. Folks go on about the cool, unique items--particularly these action figures and shirts with all these geeky themes. It seems the staff really knows what's up, too, and the positive reviewers seem to like having those geeky convos. There are negative reviews, there always are. Although some have complained about customer service, and others who are trying to get in contact regarding wholesale inquiries are just being ignored by the company.

They've got housewares, books, accessories, the whole shebang, and it's all donation-based, which is cool. I hear their setup is pretty organized, and people say the prices are hard to beat and some folks even find name-brand stuff or snag dollar-rack finds.

A lot of people rave about the staff; they're apparently super friendly and helpful, and the store itself is usually clean and tidy. I hear you can find some truly unique gems there, which is a plus. What's really great is that the money goes to AIDS charities and HIV prevention, which makes the store a pretty welcoming space. Of course, some folks had issues with the staff, claiming they were rude or closed early one time. Plus, it seems the dressing rooms aren't exactly top-notch; I understand that they're basically just curtains, so not very private, you know? Some complain that parking is a pain, too, and a few think the prices are higher than other thrift stores.

A lot of the time, people dig the sales and good prices, plus they say there's a decent selection of equipment and shoes to consider. Honestly though, I think the people who work there have made the difference, some reviewers have mentioned really great employees who are extra friendly, super helpful, and, you know, actually know their stuff. I read that the store itself is usually well-organized, well-stocked, so that's a relief. It appears that some customers have noted slow service, unhelpful interactions, also understaffing is apparently an issue as well.

#24 Target

Monday: [8 AM-10 PM], Tuesday: [8 AM-10 PM], Wednesday: [8 AM-10 PM], Thursday: [8 AM-10 PM], Friday: [8 AM-10 PM], Saturday: [8 AM-10 PM], Sunday: [8 AM-10 PM]
This Target Express is definitely the smaller sibling to the regular ones around town. It's a pretty streamlined version, though; they've got a decent selection of essentials like groceries, beer and wine, toiletries, plus that little pharmacy section. Don't go there if you're trying to do a big grocery haul, cause their inventory is limited. If you're nearby, it's a good option to swing by if you need a few things.
Honestly, the convenience factor is the biggest draw. People who shop there really appreciate being able to pop in and out fast, especially when you're dodging the Mission Valley chaos. Apparently, it's generally pretty clean, which is always a win, and some people have said the employees are pretty friendly, which is something I always look for when shopping. This particular store always has a decent amount of shoppers, so you won't be the only one if you visit.

#25 Gaslamp Garage
301 Fifth Ave, San Diego, CA 92101
Monday: [9 AM-11 PM], Tuesday: [9 AM-11 PM], Wednesday: [9 AM-11 PM], Thursday: [9 AM-11 PM], Friday: [9 AM-11 PM], Saturday: [9 AM-11 PM], Sunday: [9 AM-11 PM]
Gaslamp Garage seems to have a handle on the souvenir game in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter; it's a big shop overflowing with, well, just about anything touristy. You can find the typical keychains and magnets, I'm sure, but reviewers mention a really solid selection of clothing, too. They carry name brands, which is cool, and based on some of the comments, you may discover unadvertised sales when you visit, who knows!
It sounds overall like people dig the selection and how convenient it is; a bunch of reviews mention it being a great spot to grab everything on your list. You're likely to find a friendly face working there as well. Although, some customers have had less-than-stellar experiences with the staff, and it appears that the pricing could fluctuate or have some confusing issues, so definitely double-check things before you head to the register.

#26 San Diego Padres Team Store
215 Tony Gwynn Dr #1, San Diego, CA 92101
The Padres Team Store in Petco Park is a go-to destination when you're seeking out a vast collection of merchandise celebrating the San Diego Padres. They really do stock a ton of stuff. You can find it all from jerseys with player names, caps and t-shirts, to more unique souvenirs and collectibles, its almost all there. A little birdy told me the selection is great if you like other MLB teams too. Now, just a heads up, since it's within Petco Park's Western Metal Supply building, prices can be higher than other retailers, but it’s worth it to see that cool building.
Most fans rave about the well-organized layout and the staff is reportedly super friendly and helpful, especially on days when there isn't a game. It's really cool that you can customize your jersey right there. A lot of people said they found items you can't even get online. Though there has been some occasional frustrations, you might see long lines if you go, or they might not have what you want. A few mentioned the prices tend to be quite high, especially on game days, its true.

#27 H&M

H&M is pretty much a go-to if you're looking for clothes that are on-trend without completely draining your bank account; they seem to have something for everyone, men, women, and kids, too. Plus, I've heard the stores are typically really spacious and easy to navigate, which makes the whole shopping thing way less stressful; this is always a plus. The La Jolla location is talked about as being super organized. Though if you're thinking of heading to one in San Diego, it might be a good idea to double-check the address, because apparently, there might be some incorrect information floating around online.
People are generally happy with what they find at H&M and its prices, getting what they're worth. It sounds like you can score some really cute stuff that doesn't fall apart after one wash, a quality of clothes to look for. Many reviewers have commented that the staff is friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. The clothing choices seem very diverse, allowing anyone to find an outfit for themselves. I feel its really useful they offer clothes in every shade of green.

#28 Ross Dress for Less
428 C St, San Diego, CA 92101
Monday: [9 AM-8 PM], Tuesday: [9 AM-8 PM], Wednesday: [9 AM-8 PM], Thursday: [9 AM-8 PM], Friday: [9 AM-8 PM], Saturday: [9 AM-8 PM], Sunday: [9 AM-8 PM]
Downtown San Diego's Ross Dress for Less, yeah, it's a pretty small one, I guess, which can sometimes translate to a bit of a mess. But hey, since Horton Plaza closed, its the only discount clothing retailer near me here, it's been a lifesaver, you know? You can find basically anything there – clothes, shoes, accessories, that random decorative bowl you don't *need* but totally want. And sometimes, if you're lucky, they even have electronics! The prices are definitely where it's at, and tbh it's kind of a fun hunt to find the really good stuff. It's Ross, so you gotta manage your expectations, though.
Honestly, people really dig this Ross for the deals. There's so much you can find from brand-name items at dirt-cheap prices, clothes, shoes, some really cute home decor, you know? The fact that it's right off the trolley line is a major plus for a lot of people, too. Some have said that the staff are friendly, especially the cashiers, and the security makes you feel safe, even with the downtown location. Of course, some people mention the store feels cramped, or it's disorganized at times, or the staff isn't always smiley and cheerful, but overall, if you have patience and time, that location is great.

#29 Burlington
5405 University Ave, San Diego, CA 92105
Monday: [9 AM-9 PM], Tuesday: [9 AM-9 PM], Wednesday: [9 AM-9 PM], Thursday: [9 AM-9 PM], Friday: [9 AM-9 PM], Saturday: [9 AM-9 PM], Sunday: [9 AM-9 PM]
Burlington’s a place I’ve heard about around San Diego, a clothing store that, from what I understand, has a ton of stuff and the prices? Supposedly pretty good. You can find stuff for everyone: men, women, kids, it's really for the whole family to be honest. I think they sell shoes, accessories, and even home décor, maybe even some food. It’s like they're trying to be the ultimate bargain destination, which, tbh, who isn't trying to be that?
It's easy to get lost browsing. Plenty of people I know say they love the prices, apparently scoring brand-name stuff for cheap is a common occurrence. Seems like they do a decent job of organizing everything too, which is always a plus. Oh, and people rave about the staff being helpful, and that the store's clean and spacious. I get the sense though that sometimes they struggle with staffing, maybe long lines can be an issue, especially at the cashier, and maybe it’s not always organized which I mean, happens. But from I can tell, it's a solid choice if you're looking for good clothes and shoes without breaking the bank.

#30 FAM MART
1755 Euclid Ave UNIT 101, San Diego, CA 92105
Monday: [10 AM-7 PM], Tuesday: [10 AM-7 PM], Wednesday: [10 AM-7 PM], Thursday: [10 AM-7 PM], Friday: [10 AM-7 PM], Saturday: [10 AM-7 PM], Sunday: [10 AM-6 PM]
FAM MART is this cool indoor spot in San Diego, basically a marketplace where you can find all sorts of clothing, shoes, and accessories. They've got a bunch of different vendors selling stuff – everything from t-shirts and jeans to hats and plus sizes, along with jewelry, beauty supplies, and even services. It's nice that they have alterations and airbrushing. I did hear that some people get their haircuts there. Plus, apparently, they offer things, such as embroidery, and gold teeth.
Lots of people like FAM MART because it has a huge selection and you can often find things at reasonable prices. The "one-stop-shop" thing is a definite draw, too. It's also got something of a swap meet vibe. People seem to appreciate having trendy, urban items available. I've read reviews where customers specifically praised vendors, especially the embroidery shop and that barber. A number of people also mention the staff are nice. I've noticed customers really do appreciate when a company shows a level of respect.
