This one's for the boys
Attention men of Chicago: As of tomorrow, you will no longer be left out of Chi-town's shopping event scene. Event company Savvy Shopper Approved is launching its first mens-only sample sale -- and it's the first of its kind in the city that we've ever seen. It's about time someone realized that guys like deals, too!
The headline designer for the event is Hyden Yoo (designs pictured here) who was just recently named a finalist for GenArt's Designer of the Year in New York, where his label is based. You'll also find threads from local boutiques such as TK Men and Akira. Event organizer Janice Moskoff polled her guy friends on how they'd prefer to shop and has arranged this event accordingly, so rather than it being a free-for-all of styles or racks organized by price--which is usually norm at most women's sample sales--expect to find clothing organized by type, such as denim, T-shirts and jackets. That means less of sifting, shuffling and digging: If you want jeans, then look at 'em all on one rack.
As for the most important part -- the markdowns -- expect discounts up to 80 percent off retail price. Check back with The Extrovert this afternoon for a sneak preview on some specific deals, direct from Moskoff herself.
UPDATE: We checked in with event organizer Janice Moskoff as she unpacked the first boxes of merch in preparation for tomorrow's sale, and she clued us on on some rock-bottom deals: Chip & Pepper jeans for $25 (originally $245), Juicy camoflage shorts for $15 ($55 retail), and Hyden Yoo's V-neck T-shirts, striped henleys and dress shirts for $10-$15.
