Steven Alan Outpost

Awesome service and a great selection of Steven Alan standards + some current season pieces. Everything is slightly or greatly discounted, depending on how long it’s been out. I got a few $ 198 shirts for $ 88.
I will need to measure how often I visit to keep my budget intact.

Wish I could afford this boutique because the designs are truly art. They are so modern and on point – really visionary.

The girls at the store are great! Love the clothes and shoes!

So My first impression is wow what a nice store but the service sucks I walked in to look around and one of the employees whom was a women really ticked me off what a b**** really rude and always staring at me in a bad way like if were not welcome their
Ps. This was around 5:15pm on Wednesday 12÷17÷14 Was a white lady wearing a black flannel

A hidden treasure in Los Feliz, a must to do the normcore trend in style. Well made, American manufactured new traditional shirts and knits with a smattering of Isabel Marant, APC and Acne. Typical recent purchases were Rachel Comey booties half price around $ 230 and Steven Alan reverse seam shirt for $ 58.

I’d describe the style here as downtown prep. This location has lots of deals for both men and women on cool brands like Acne, APC, Filson, Hope, Rachel Comey, Clare Vivier, and of course Steven Alan. Friendly service from Danielle, too! Just note that the dressing rooms are tiny (even to me at 5’3″).

A few weeks ago, I visited Steven Alan Outpost, my first introduction to the boutique chain. I was impressed by the shop’s East meets West collection of clothing, shoes, and accessories. Each piece oozes with quality, offering an inventive approach to both an outdoorsy Californian and East Coast prep style — but with a definite high-​fashion Hollywood flair.
TONS of items were marked down, with a 40% end of season discount on all sale items. This shop is compact with just a few dressing rooms and friendly service. I picked up a cropped wool cape in navy with red piping and toggle closures, by a brand called Fidelity that’s made in the USA. I’ll stop by again soon to check out their delicate jewelry and vintage-​inspired sunnies!

The photos on their website are much more saturated and cool toned than the clothes are in real life.
Good sales and selection, though!

It was the best mistake ever walking into this store. While walking to a café I decided to stop in to check out their stuff. I saw a pair of shoes I’ve been looking for for. While but wasn’t going to get them — until I saw the good price for brand. But it wasn’t that that made me buy the shoes. It was the service. The staff made me feel like a friend. I didn’t want to leave. I made sure to add a pair of socks and will be coming back for more things.

This place should be a single dollar sign, steals and deals always here.
This place is definitely not a «Gap meets Urban Outfitters.» They stock some overstock from Steven Alan stores and there is a ton of quality items. Recent stock has included a ton of RRL, Our Legacy, Apolis, Rancourt, SNS Herning and a ton more quality stock. Maybe RRL or Our Legacy might look like gap stuff? I know Urban Outfitters knocks off RRL stuff on a consistent basis so maybe it’s a little skewed perception of design and quality? I mean mall brands have straight up copies of a lot of stuff for cheaper, though if you are paying the markup you probably understand why it costs more. And a pair of Rancourts handmade in maine is the same as some factory made item? Maybe one should spend more money at chains like Taco Bell so you have more money for jawnz.
Staff is always super happy and helpful. If you need another size or have any questions they do not hesitate to help. No fakeness here.

great price for everything steven alan! jewelry and some accessories are current season with no discount, but most of their stuff are at least 50% off with lots of sizes available! saw a pair of women leather boots originally for $ 600+ and discounted to less than $ 100. at that moment i wish my feet grew 3 sizes instantly.
staffs were super helpful and friendly. i spent a good amount of time in the fitting room trying a lot of different things out, but they weren’t bothered by it at all. i had this specific shirt i had in mind, and they helped me find a photo of it in an old category and called all the other stores nearby to see if they still have inventory. it was a great experience shopping there, and i felt great not having to drive to weho or venice for steven alan!

After going to NYC I developed a love-​from-​a-​distance relationship with Steven Alan. Can’t afford it, but having this outlet of Steven Alan with discounted items gives me hope that we will take our relationship to first base. Great prices in here and nice staff.

Love that I can buy shirts here for less than typical SA. Fits me well plus they have nice simple jewelry for my fiancé.
The service is always friendly, especially two of the managers, Liz and Lisa. They were attentive and not overbearing but helped me to find a nice getup for a wedding I went to in September.

If you are a little tiny skinny man-​boy who likes to spend over $ 125 on shirts with weird seams, then this place is for you. For the rest of us, it is still a very nice shop, but you have to work harder to find things that fit.
Although I am not (a skinny man-​boy that is) I do like this place. It makes me feel powerful (since I am big and strong, not because I actually like to spend over $ 125 on shirts, which I do).

Cute and affordable (ish) preppy «big boy clothes.» This place is the smaller outlet version of the Robertson location. They send styles over here when they get marked down, so sizes are limited. It’s a great boutique and both me and my dude love the stuff here.
You put on the clothes and feel inspired to take the vintage chevy for a spin over to your fancy yacht so you can then cruise over and spend the weekend in the Hamptons while your personal chef makes you a gourmet lunch. Yeah, big boy clothes.
Outlet prices here mean that a normally $ 349 dress is now $ 199. Yeah, still pricy. But you can find cute skirts and tops from $ 50– $ 99. Shoes, jewelry and hats as well… every now and then, it’s worth the splurge.
Surprisingly really nice, non-​pretentious and helpful staff!

In the world of shopping, outlet stores are a gold mecca, of sorts. Outlets provide a bridge between designer names/​brands and customers who perhaps «normally» can’t afford the goods. Sounds like a rather great concept, right? Sure… as long as the goods are affordable and the service is half-​way decent. Allow me to introduce Steven Alan Outpost: an «outpost» (that’s just fancy-​schmancy for «outlet») which doesn’t fit either description.
I immediately wasn’t too keen on venturing into Steven Alan Outpost (something was already polarizing me in the opposite direction) but my boyfriend was curious (he’s a sucker for fashion). We ventured into a small boutique with a sort of Gap meets Urban Outfitters feel. The aesthetics of Steven Alan Outpost with its dark colors and racks only along the walls; is minimalist and clean. However, that’s about where my satisfaction ended.
The female selection is sparse and plain and simply boring. Muted colors in styles that I could find at Forever 21 or Target. I thought this was supposed to be designer? I was bored within a Guinness Book record time of .5 seconds. My boyfriend appeared to have more to browse; however, he was disgusted by the simplicity and prices of the apparel. A shirt that is in the exact same style of Gap or Banana Republic ran for $ 117. A pair of jeans which were plain and bare? $ 170! If these are outlet prices, what are the full prices?
Now granted, satisfaction in terms of clothing and prices is subjective. So, perhaps you don’t care about the above information. Well, how do you feel about terrible customer service? Walking into Steven Alan Outpost was uncomfortable to say the least. There was not one other sole customer in the shop and yet the female on duty (who was about 40 trying to look 20) didn’t say hello, offer help, etc. I can understand if she was busy, but again, no one else was in the shop.
The worst part occurred when I asked if there was a restroom. She explained that there was a bathroom in the stock room area and thus, one must walk past the back merchandise. I misunderstood and thought she meant she would have to walk me back, to which I agreed. She responded in a snotty tone, «No, you must not be listening». EXCUSE ME?! I was listening! Just because I misunderstood, a store clerk does NOT have the «go-​ahead» to speak to me like that. The stone was cast. I wanted out of there asap. As she advised to ask the café next door to use their bathroom, I simply said «bye» as I walked out.
With high prices and customer service like that, who needs an outlet store? If I want to be treated like crap, I can call my mother, slumlord landlord, or talk to my demon neighbors who live underneath me. I think I’ll skip that in terms of shopping. Next time you seek an outlet, ignore Steven Alan.

Oh I’ve found my new favorite boutique that I can’t quite afford but will buy something from every now and then and will mostly go in and peruse and wish that I could afford something.
That being said — this place is not outrageously priced. Some things I still could never afford (like a $ 200 dress just because it’s cute), but some people totally can. And for what looks and feels like great quality and a huge selection of things priced UNDER $ 100 — I’ll definitely be headed back again.

Steven Alan is way hip and cool. I really dig the threads that he stitches, especially his shirts and boxers. The boxer underwear is not as long as regular boxers which I dig. The price point is about half off compared to his regular store on Robertson. The shirts are about 20−30% less depending. They also carry other items such as Levi’s, double RR, and others too.
Staff is always friendly to me, never obnoxious or bitchy. Parking isn’t easy though. That is my one complaint. I only stop when I’m eating by or I see a spot open if I’m in the area.
If your looking for a bit of a deal without breaking the bank, step it up to a waistline that is skinny on the wallet.

Before I decided I’d rather spend money on food, I used to have a pretty bad shopping problem. I pay casual attention to fashion these days, but I’m still well enough in the know to recognize that the Steven Alan Outpost is an excellent little shop that stocks desirable brands at discounted prices.
The store is on Hillhurst within walking distance of my boyfriend’s apartment, and one day we decided to check it out on the way home from lunch. We’d assumed it was a Steven Alan outlet, and I wanted Matt to try on a few shirts. The place is pretty small, one room with two walls of racks, with two comfortable changing rooms in the back. Service is good, as far as I can tell.
The Outpost stocks a lot of Steven Alan at half price and lower, but it also carries discount clothing by the likes of Acne, Rag & Bone, Boy by Band of Outsiders, and T by Alexander Wang. In an ideal world, these brands would have at least a 50% share of my closet. Many of the discounted items are still on the pricy side, but the range is not unreasonable. The store carries clothing as well as a small selection of bags and shoes. There’s also some cute jewelry on display by the register.
I walked away with an adorable Steven Alan dress, marked down to $ 139 from $ 298. While $ 139 isn’t exactly a steal, it’s not terrible for a silk dress by a brand name designer. I’m also getting great use out of it. I’ve worn it at least five or six times in the last month and a half.
I’m not about to drop into this store every time I walk by, but if I happen to feel spendthrift I know the Steven Alan Outpost is just the place to direct my energies. The clothing and the discounts are great, and I’ll probably peek my head in once in a while.

Purveyor the pre-​washed button down that implies boarding school drop-​out Steven Alan has hit LA with a third store, this time an outlet. A fave of Mary Kate and Rachel Bilson, SA’s original Tribeca store is like a smaller, better edited Barney’s Co-​Op with more items from up and coming small labels. SA most recently designed the Lark and Wolff line for Urban Outfitters, which is one of the only reason to step into mall-​ified hipster lifestyle store these days. Unlike SA’s multi-​brand boutique on Abbot Kinney and the SA only store on Robertson, SA Outpost is the place to go if you don’t want to pay retail on their house brand and a few other swanky labels like A.P.C., Rachel Comey (shoes), Rogan, and Phillip Lim 3.1 at 50−70% off retail. It’s a sweet deal– think of it like a permanent SA sample sale but without having to wade through piles of clothes and caffeinated fashion freaks at 8am.
Located in a sleepy corner of Los Feliz, Outpost occupies a narrow space with both men and women’s goods, with better deals on the women’s stuff. They had a wide variety of SA signature women’s shirts from $ 39 – 68 (they retail at $ 168 – 200), with few items over $ 100. But my boyf noted the men’s side was not as awesome– more items starting at $ 99. Eek. I suspect that their stock will rotate and prices will fluctuate, so it’s best to check periodically. FYI the salesgirl mentioned that the outlet clothes are samples or cut from overstock fabric. Though they don’t have everything from SA, it’s nice spot to pick up button downs that work for any occasion, or to send out-​of-​towners who don’t want to bother with Loehmann’s.
Sample of the merch:
Comme des Garçons wallets
A.P.C. clothes and shoes
Rachel Comey shoes
Phillip Lim 3.1 sweaters
Mayle canvas bags
Timex watches
Cat bird jewelry
SA shirts, bags, ties, underwear
Pros:
Reasonable mall-​type prices (under $ 100)
Better, slimmer cuts than J. Crew for preppy looks
A variety of SA label prints + sizes
Well edited collection of brands
Helpful salespeople
Cute store
Cons:
Store was too small (kept getting elbowed by other customers!)
Crappy street parking situation typical of Los Feliz
Not enough sizes for non-​SA brands
Could be a little cheaper
