Comptoir des Cotonniers (CLOSED)

If Parisian ingénue is the look you’re after, make the Upper West Side Comptoir des Cotonniers store your go-to spot. This French womenswear brand’s third NYC location (the flagship is in Soho) has a clean, fresh vibe that complements its threads, thanks to washed-wood floors, all-white walls and eye-catching displays of merchandise that change from week to week. Effortlessly stylish pieces such as wool capes ($375) and boxy silk-blend blouses ($135) hang next to basics, like ridiculously soft cashmere crew-neck sweaters ($245) and dark-wash slim-fit jeans ($120). Other must-have basics include gauzy, V-neck tie-waist dresses ($260); straight-leg corduroy trousers ($175); and cowl-neck angora sweaters ($155). Top off your new très chic look with one of Comptoir’s oversize, fringed hand-knit scarves ($155). Or, if you need a little outfit inspiration, watch the video of a Comptoir des Cotonniers runway show, which loops on a wall-mounted flat screen.
