Somewhere between Marc Jacobs and Forever 21, there's French Connection. An English brand that made it big in Spain before finally coming to America, French Connection stocks an impressive variety of sharp, trendy casual wear for both men and women. The store that makes it (almost) chic to wear sweatpants sells perpetual favorites like slim cashmere sweaters, tailored blouses, snug-fitting sweatshirts and an in-house denim line all year-around. — Faran Alexis Krentcil
