It’s easier to locate items when you know what you need.
Shop by Color or Texture and Length
This helps you to identify what you want and scan sections quickly.
Be Patient
You need time to acquire quality items.
Be Open-Minded
This can help you alter the current look of that piece.
Check Menswear
Check out the menswear as it’s usually priced lower.
Try It On
Even if it’s not your size, try it on.
Base Layer
Wear a fitted base layer so you can try clothes without fully changing.
Check the Discard Rack
You can find some great stuff on these racks.
Shoes
Try on shoes and wear them as you check out the clothes.
Stock Days
Find out when new stock comes in.
Check Affluent Neighborhoods
