Following right on Nordstrom's heels was Old Navy, with 21.78 percent of respondents choosing the affordable chain which is owned by the Gap. Old Navy is a practical choice — it's affordable and well-made, plus there are plenty of stylish options in addition to the staples.
Next up was H&M. Out of the 652 Americans surveyed, 17.64 percent chose the Swedish chain which arrived in the U.S. in 2000 (via The Associated Press) and quickly became a favorite amongst fashion lovers. H&M is the perfect place to shop if you're looking for trendy pieces at affordable prices. Designers for the chain keep a close eye on trends and they're able to get products in stores in less than a month. For comparison, it typically takes stores like the Gap around six months to go through this process (via Insider).
Speaking of the Gap, the chain came in fourth place with 9.05 percent of the vote, followed by Brandy Melville at 5.67 percent and Everlane at 2.15 percent. Approximately one-fifth (21.17 percent) of respondents chose "other." After all, there's no shortage of fabulous clothing stores out there.
