The Best Bet

Warm weather is imminent, fueling a desire to shed winter coats for something lighter.

Ben Tzion Todrin and Sagi Chekroun, Students

“When I see women who are dressed immodestly, it’s a little uncomfortable. We’re taught to try to not look. But I mean, we’re still humans.”

Best Highlights

The color team here, led by Rick Wellman, eschews the usual foil and baliage (freestyle highlights) for biodegradable cotton pads.

Best Boyfriend Sweater

Like ballet flats, wide belts, and black opaque tights, the oversize cardigan (also called the boyfriend sweater) has segued from trend to staple.

Best Men’s Store

From the moment you walk into the Billy Reid store, you will feel more like a gentleman.

Best Used Bookstore

For the pleasure of an afternoon lost in browsing, Slotnick’s quiet little shop is unsurpassed.
