If piling on the layers in cold weather sounds about as much fun as retaking your SATs, allow us a moment to change your mind. RVCA, the California-based line once relegated to the surf/skate niche, has lately taken a more fashion-forward approach that we're totally on board with. We're seeing oversized sweaters, cool basics, leggings, and even flannels that don't suck. Want proof? Clever Alice is hosting an RVCA sample sale this Friday, October 21 at 11 a.m., with prices starting at $20! This is a legit sample sale, so even current inventory will be marked down by 50%. Don't miss your chance to start off cooler temps on the right foot. We'll be layering for a long while (sorry), so do it stylishly.
Clever Alice, 1920 North Damen Avenue (at Cortland Avenue); 773-276-2444.
