J.Mclaughlin, which has been outfitting preppies on the Upper East Side for years from its Third Avenue store, made its first inroads to Brooklyn last week with the opening of a new shop at 218 Hicks Streets in Brooklyn Heights.

CGar, if I ever see you wearing one of their printed shorts, I WILL pull it off you.
Better to wear nothing than shorts that look like like boxers.
dibs, as if you don’t own plenty of bright green or shrimp pink linen pants and belts with little whales or anchors on them.
Fess up.
Minard;
Would this line of clothes be appropriate for a Truman Capote reading?
“Brooklyn Heights felt like the perfect fit for us. We saw a apparent disconnect in the area which is filled with stylish consumers but few appropriate retail spaces,”
I agree with this.
If I’m walking in B. Heights and see someone wearing the outfit in the right window…I’d laugh out loud!
