Xcito Women & Mens Apparel

This is a really cool designer clothing boutique. It has a much better sense of what’s contemporary than most downtown stores, and the prices are a little better. The owner takes special care in handpicking each piece, which are mostly from Italian and Spanish designers. And he make sure there’s some shirts within the price range of mere mortals (down to $ 60) with occasional sales. At times their stuff has been a little frou-​frou for my tastes, but I’m usually inspired to splurge on at least one item a year. Lately I’ve been really impressed by shirts and pants from Fredrich Ohms and Romain Kapadia. They’re an edgier, kind of post-​punk look with interesting snaps and zippers, without being cliché. Now all I need is the sugarmomma to take me shopping.
