J McLaughlin

This is a great store. My first experience with J McLaughlin was in Martha’s Vineyard and it was terrific. Today I ventured over to their Lexington Avenue location to check out their sale rack and I was not disappointed!
The selection was huge and the service was tops. Valerie was super helpful! She told me what was flattering and what wasn’t. She got me sizes that weren’t out on the floor and made great suggestions.
All in all a great experience.

This is a great clothing store. If you’re unfamiliar with the brand, they sell very preppy casual clothing– similar to Vineyard Vines, Polo, and Brooks Brothers, but a bit more expensive and high quality. I bought a shirt on sale ($ 120 marked down to $ 60) and it is unbelievably soft. The sizes are generous, so go down a size or choose Slim Fit in your normal size, even if you don’t consider yourself to be «slim». The prices are pretty high, but you can get some great deals during their sales.
The clothing is excellent and the salespeople are very nice, but I’m docking a star because the store is small, which means that they do not have a very wide selection of clothing. There is another store farther up the Upper East Side, and there is one in Greenwich CT, as well.
