It’s Christmas in November for bargain lovers. Although the price of stocks continues to slide, so does the price of socks.
For business professionals who are stably employed or really anyone who need to freshen their looks, it’s a great time to stock up on clothes as retailers try to unload excess inventory at huge discounts. I was at the outlets in Williamsburg over the weekend. Some stores had “70 percent off” signs hanging everywhere.
I got men’s dress shirts at Joseph A. Bank for $15. That’s marked down from $60. I found one for $5.
Meanwhile at TJ Maxx, I saw brands I’ve never seen there, such a Marmot and the North Face. For those who dress better than me – which is likely most of you – luxury retailers are also cutting prices. The Wall Street Journal is reporting today that companies from Chanel to Versace are discounting goods 8 percent to 10 percent.
Selection can be a problem at the outlets, but this trip proved fruitful: eight shirts, two pairs of pants and a new Gore-Tex jacket.
