Vineyard Vines Sale

We love us some Vineyard Vines, but those crazy Nantucket preps have some crazy Nantucket ideas about pricing. $100 for pink chinos? We think not. As summer comes to an end, Vineyard Vines has a bunch of overpriced stuff to get rid of and has knocked down prices by 40%. Still not as cheap as the goods they sold to Filene’s Basement, but worth a gander.

BR Monogram by Banana Republic

Great news if you appreciate a slimmer silouhette. The new BR Monogram collection by Banana Republic features classic pants and chinos cut with a slimmer fit. Jackets are slightly shorter and the shoulder padding is lighter. The wool/silk black suit blazer is our favorite at $375.

Dress Up On the Cheap

We know that Target is the ultimate is mass-market satisfaction, but who knew they could also serve your formal occasion needs? While perusing the Target.com site for dryer sheets and lined notebooks, we came across their great selection of men’s tuxedos. Cheaper than renting once a year and if you take it to a good tailor, it will fit as well as a designer piece.

Uniqlo Not So Cheap

If you’re a big fan of Uniqlo’s denim range, you’re in for a bit of sticker shock. We went to the SoHo Uniqlo megastore yesterday and found that our favorite jeans, originally priced at $39.50, now had new price stickers selling them at $49.50. Still a bargain for Japanese denim, but why the $10 upgrade?

Gant Sale Outlet

While their flagship on Fifth Avenue is renovated, Gant has a 70% off outlet store at 50th and Madison. Lots of great stuff from the summer collection, all at 70% off retail. An insider tells us there’s new stuff every morning!
