J. McLaughlin Women’s

Trace the origins of the parade of bright aqua shopping bags dangling off the arms of sophisticated dames to J. McLaughlin’s women’s store, which is just a few doors down from the brand’s men’s boutique. The 1,950-square-foot, blue-green-carpeted space houses Ivy League–chic yet urban garb. Marvel at the bamboo chandelier and blue-painted ceiling while debating over solid cashmere and printed wool crinkle scarves ($98) or nab timeless white button-down blouses ($145), which pair perfectly with multicolored exposed-zipper ribbon skirts ($245).
