What are the best bang-for-buck brands in fashion?

Bang is not necessarily about quality, but once you get into the luxe range you should expect it.

A.P.C. used to make the occasional standout piece (generally outerwear) that was relatively affordable, not so sure that's true anymore. Their Louis W. stuff looks good but at those prices I'm probably going to buy from somewhere else. 

As for BoO, I can't remember the last time I ever wanted something from them.

+1 SS offers probably some of the most beautiful knits I've seen for such a great price compared to what many other brands offer. 

Of course on the topic of knits, I also think that SNS Herning and Inverallan offer pretty good prices for mostly handmade goods.
