Best of Boston

2010 Best Men's Clothing, Sophisticated

Barneys New York

The Brooks Brothers non-iron shirt has its place, but when the situation calls for something a little more snazzy, the best-dressed men in town head to Barneys. The men’s department is unbeatable, featuring designer fashions that are easy to pull off and salespeople who are happy to double as style coaches. Sure, you’ll likely have to get that new Dior dress shirt pressed—and yes, you must tuck it in—but at least you won’t look like every other banker at the ball.
