For the Label Shark
The Closet

Filled floor to ceiling with barely worn Prada trenches ($165), Phillip Lim frocks ($68), and Louis Vuitton wallets ($345), this is where to unload your own recent wardrobe mistakes and benefit from someone else's. The 30-year-old shop announces new arrivals—most of which are marked down to only 20 to 30 percent of their original price—on its daily blog. Its array of menswear and footwear, ranging from Gucci to Moschino ($130–$285), is the best in the pre-owned biz. Consigners keep 50 percent of the selling price. 175 Newbury St., Boston, 617-536-1919, closetboston.com.
