How Low Can You Go

A tipster brings word that Barneys has increased in-store markdowns on much of its F/W stock to 75% off. And a more elaborate tipster tells Racked: “That means suits around $600, shirts between $70-150, blazers for $300 from their most expensive designers … Much, much better than the warehouse sale.”

This is the third time in so many months that NY Mag’s Look Book has profiled some dude hanging around the south side of Union Square Park. (Remember Bret?) Now, for our money, this locale attracts about as much style sense as St. Marks Place. They’re both destinations for exhibitionists to loiter about, putting on shows, which is all good, but not exactly the effect we’re going for when we get dressed in the morning.

Libertine lovers, rejoice! We just came from the sale on Lafayette, and it’s filled with about seven seasons worth of samples — all priced at next to NOTHING. What does it take to love Libertine? A deep affection for prints and vintage coupled with a healthy disregard for precise tailoring.

Blazers for $50!
Army jackets for $50
Leather for $175
Overcoats for $75!
