    01 UNIQLO Soho Store

    This store has been making a buzz these past few years and for good reason. Not only is their clothing affordable, but the quality of their product is exceptional. We think it’s the best place to get basics. Their clothes are minimal and versatile which is a plus. Also, they collaborate with well-known designers from time to time such as Alexander Wang and JW Anderson.

    02 MUJI SOHO

    Everlane is another great store in Soho to grab essential pieces such as t-shirts, button-downs and denim. They’re known to source exceptional fabric without the high prices that come with designer pieces.

The Best Boutiques in SoHo

Boutiques in SoHo are awesome because these stores carry different brands and are purposefully curated to satisfy their target market. Also, they could potentially have better deals than larger department stores and could carry brands that are difficult to find. These are our favorites.

  1. Shopping

    01 Flying Solo

    This store Flying Solo is unique in a way that it is owned and operated by local and independent designers. Being the fashion industry is tough and finding an outlet to sell to customers is even harder. That’s why Flying Solo was created. It provides a platform for designers to sell their work.

  2. Shopping

    02 If Boutique Inc

    If Boutique Inc is one of our absolute favorite stores in SoHo. Admittedly, If Boutique Inc is not the cheapest store in SoHo, but there are some pretty good deals here and the brands selected are top notch. The ambiance in this boutique is truly unique and worth a visit for the design alone. They have a great range of accessories, clothing and shoes for both men and women.

Our Favorite Men’s Stores in SoHo

Shopping in SoHo can definitely be overwhelming due to the amount of stores. Typically, men don’t like to go spend their money on clothing and it’s usually their significant other that does that for them. It’s also a little bit more difficult finding clothes for men that isn’t too simple or boring.

These are our favorite stores in SoHo that have a nice collection for men:

  1. Shopping

    01 Blue in Green Boutique in SoHo

    This SoHo boutique carries casual menswear pieces. Most of the products in the store are from Japanese brands. They also carry custom-made jeans where the quality is impeccable. Clothing sold here ranges from your basic T’s, hoodies, to knits and outerwear. Aside from clothing, they also sell vinyl records and music. If you’re in the area, definitely drop-by and even grab yourself a cup of coffee in their in-store coffee counter.

  2. Shopping

    02 Aimé Leon Dore

    Ok, so this is located right on the border of NoLita and SoHo but it’s in the area so we’ll make an exception. Aime Leon Dore has some really stylish pieces but also has a classic feel to them. The quality of their fabric is exceptional as well. It’s a brand that’s continuing to gain popularity. Be prepared to spend some money here, but it’s well worth it. Oh, there’s a cafe as well.

  4. Shopping

    04 Saturdays NYC Crosby St

    It’s a surf shop that serves coffee but also has some really great men’s pieces. The silhouettes and cuts on the clothes are great and the price point isn’t too bad. We would compare the prices to J. Crew. Also, on a nice beautiful day (or a cold snowy day, depends on what you think is nice), the back of the store has outdoor seating so you can enjoy the weather. 

  5. Shopping_170423115755016

    05 Schott NYC

    Are you looking for amazing leather jackets? Then Schott NYC is the place for you. The quality of their leather is one of the best out there and has that classic American aesthetic that leather jackets are supposed to have. There’s no better place for leather jackets than Schott. I mean, they’ve been doing this since 1913 and the founder, Irving Schott was the first person to make the motorcycle leather jacket called the “Perfecto”.

High-End Designer Shopping in SoHo

Designer shopping in SoHo is easy because everything is here. It’s the reason why people shop in SoHo because you have access to so many designer stores. We love a lot of designer products, but we’ll keep this very limited. We’re going to keep Louis Vuitton in SoHo and Gucci in SoHo out of this list just because that’s most likely a given.

With that being said, these are our favorite high-end designer stores in SoHo:

  1. Shopping

    01 Acne Studios Mercer Street

    Clean cuts, beautiful silhouettes and beautiful fabrics – that’s what defines ACNE Studios style. The best part of all this is that while it’s still pretty expensive, it’s not as expensive as other luxury brands. You can find everything from sneakers to outerwear here. They have several locations in New York City, but their store in Soho is the most beautiful!

  2. Shopping

    02 Alexander Wang Flagship Store New York

They were created by Moncler in collaboration with designer Craig Green. If your budget allows it, you should definitely stop by their store.

Hype, Trendy and Hip Stores in SoHo

SoHo is probably the trendiest neighborhood in NYC. You’ll see some of the most “hyped” up items here and they’re most likely the most sought after items in the world. Whenever a product with a lot of popular backing is about to release, waves of people will line up in front these stores to purchase that item or collection. There’s been times where a product will sell out in minutes. 90 percent of the time, those products will not be restocked which adds to its value. With that being said, these are the most hyped up stores in SoHo.

  1. Kith_Shopping_NOHO_Things_to_do_in_NoHo_190917183928028

    KITH serves as both a multifunctional lifestyle brand and a progressive retail establishment. You can choose from two locations in New York: one in Soho and the other in Brooklyn. Established in 2011, both of KITH’s store spaces are trendy, creating a unique experience for customers. Four years after opening, the brand expanded to Kith Treats, made with the concept of an artisan cereal bar in mind. You can order ice cream or milkshakes with cereal mixed in; what more could you want while shoe shopping? In addition to cereal milkshakes, KITH also offers a wide array of men’s, women’s, and kid’s footwear, apparel, and accessories. There is something here for everyone!

    Supreme New York

    Other Shopping in SoHo

    Shopping_in_soho_190122145129008_1600x800

    The brand originated in SoHo and is pretty much the cult brand that hypebeasts line up for. They started doing collaborations with other brands way back in the day and they never repeat collections. This makes them highly sought after by fashion heads. There’s always long lines, especially on days where a new collection will come out. Also, be ready to fall in line and not be able to get anything you want. It’s that serious.
