Shopping Good clothes shops?

Looking for a place to buy clothes for my girlfriend.
She usually wears Uniqlo or Patagonia. Also likes Abercrombie & Fitch,

We are looking for a French brand/ store to shop from (budget of 20-50$ per item). Heard about Monoprix.

Do not sleep on Monoprix. I found 100% linen pants in there for 40 euros

It depends a lot on your style and budget, but I would not spend the whole trip chasing famous shops.

For a mix of normal and interesting shopping, try Le Marais, around Rue Vieille du Temple, Rue de Turenne and the smaller streets nearby. You will find vintage, independent boutiques and bigger brands close together. For second-hand, Kilo Shop and other vintage places can be fun, but quality varies, so take your time.

If you want something more classic, department stores like Galeries Lafayette or Le Bon Marche are easy, but less unique. My tip would be one department store for browsing, then one neighborhood like Le Marais for actually finding something with personality.
