Blog 1: Favorite Retailer

Guess has been my favorite retailer since high school. Their style is always fashion forward, sexy, and fun. Their racy advertisements in the past have cost them lots of controversy but yet earned them a lot of awards too such as the Clio award. The main reason why I love Guess is because I always feel like they have styles that you don't find in everyday apparel stores. They rarely even have a plain shirt in their stores without having some kind of logo, zipper, unique tie, embellishment, or buttons that set it apart from the normal apparel stores.















The Marciano brothers founded Guess in 1981 and since then they have created multiple branches of the retailer.
Guess: moderate prices, G by Guess: lower prices, popular among teenagers, and Marciano: high priced, runway inspired styles. I actually flew to New York last summer to visit the Marciano store in Soho. I think I purchased three things and the total was close to $500 so it's definitely pricey but I was definitely satisfied. Finally, I am in love with Guess purses. They're affordable and very stylish and usually come in every color so you're almost guaranteed to find one that will match your taste. Guess has also partnered with department stores such as Belk and Dillard's to sale their purses but the best deal of all is if you wait a few months, you can usually find that $100 Guess bag in a discounted department store such as T.J Max or Ross at a fraction of the cost!
