Safer Than The Stock Market

Men.Style lays bare the current wing tip market, including some reasonably priced, well made shoes. Really well make shoes, however, are always a sound investment, so we’re opting for Church’s Grafton wing tips for $645 (above), or Bergdorf‘s private label wing tips for $425 (below).
Otherwise, very respectable are these Grenson Noble wing tip brogues for $315 –
And so are these Johnston & Murphy Greenwich wing tips for $265 –

Just what constitutes a wing tip, you ask? Let Josh explain.

After stopping by Chelsea Market to check out the Privé Sale, we recommend you do the same if only for the James Perse botton-downs down from their retail price of $175 to just $40. You’ve got ‘til Sunday, but supplies are definitely limited –

A very limited supply of Ben Sherman shirts are also going for about $40, along with a small selection of jackets, and the like – 
Jeans are the only product in abundance – 

Privé Sale at Chelsea Market – 75 9th Ave between 15th and 16th – Daily 10:30am-7pm – Map
