Clothingline

This savvy company is like having a stylish best friend who knows when and where all the best sales are. And luckily, you needn’t haul ass around town, since Clothingline hosts its markdownfests (usually 50 percent to 80 percent off) in one location, unloading goods directly from voguish labels including Helmut Lang and Theory. Pros: Clothingline is instantly gratifying, since the merchandise is usually from the current season. Cons: The warehouse can get pretty mobbed during lunch hours and after 5pm, so we recommend hitting it during off-hours to avoid the throngs.
