Hooray summer — and vacation. For all of you going overseas this summer, I thought we’d have an open thread — which are the stores you simply must visit, especially for professional clothes and workwear? Even though, in many ways, we live in a global market (at least here in New York, SoHo often feels like an international mall), I’ve always found that one of the joys of traveling is getting to buy beautiful clothes as souvenirs. I still think of the jacket I got in a tiny shop in Berlin as my “Berlin jacket,” and remember how chilly it was the day I bought it, and what it felt like to try it on in the store. I still remember paying 45 Euros (an insane price for me to pay) for a black and white floral t-shirt in Paris (at Antoine & Lili) with a very odd neckline — I wore it as a vest, with a short-sleeved white blouse, beneath it, and got a lot of compliments. I could go on and on…
So let’s hear it, readers — from those of you in the know, where should women shop for professional clothes in Europe? Where can you get a great suit, a great blouse, great shoes… do tell! (Right now let’s limit the discussion to Europe — if you guys like the thread we’ll have more open threads.)
