Something Else

I used to love this store when I first moved to Brooklyn 3 years ago. The quality went down slowly and is now so run down. Went today and they had a moving sale. I guess I shouldn’t have expected much. But wow! No one even greeted me or anyone else who walked in. Helped myself to a dressing room, then to make matters worse someone abruptly opened the dressing room curtain on me. I pointed this out to the girl at the counter (directly across from the fitting room) and she said it’s hard watch. I’ll leave it at that. Hopefully the new location is like the shop used to be. Not sure I’ll even give it a shot. Mavi and Goldy + Mac are my new go-​tos for sure.

Shop has a great mix of options and designs for men’s and women’s casual clothing. My attention was focused on the few bags they had in stock.

This is a really great store. Here’s why:
1) eclectic, QUALITY clothes that are affordable and always intact with the trend of the moment
2) not label obsessed. BUT they always have the best selection of jeans, Paper and Denim, Joes, etc. I got obsessed with these jeans leggings last year, I got them in every color. They don’t look like leggings at all and so flattering. Only $ 40
3) The salesgirls leave you alone but are so helpful when you have a question (if your not in the mood to talk but need to shop, go here).
4) Everything I have gotten from this store I have practically worn out. No tags still attached sitting quietly in my closet!
The only reason I’m giving it 4 not 5 stars is because I was so in love with these Joes jeans they had but didn’t have my size in stock. I forgive you though !

This is my go-​to store in the neighborhood for something cute to wear. They always have good stuff that you don’t see in the other stores in the area. The prices are reasonable and they have good sales.

This is one of my favorite clothing stores in the neighborhood! It is pretty affordable compared to other places and the staff is always nice and helpful without being too pushy. I’ve bought some great blouses and jackets here and always get compliments whenever I wear them. I also like their rewards program (spend $ 500 get $ 25)… I feel like it gives me an excuse to do more shopping :)

If you’re lucky enough to wander here during a weekend sale such as around Memorial Day, DON’T PASS IT BY! I made a beeline for the shoes in the back, and got a rare discount on a pair of Worishofer sandals. As well as 3 other pairs of shoes…
They basically have an abbreviated selection of what’s available across the street at DNA, except the stuff actually goes on sale! Prices on their cute clothes were pretty reasonable too — I would’ve looked if I hadn’t cut myself off at the shoes! The perfectly bubbly sales chick totally validated my purchase decisions too, which was exactly what my credit card needed.

great selection of clothes there (and shoes) — and very good prices. the team was helpful when I needed advice. If I am looking for a specific piece, I always make sure to stop there

Is this a store for plus-​sized women? I sifted through all the clothing racks and EVERYTHING was a size L. I wasn’t a fan of most of the selection either… and on top of that, the female employee was NOT friendly!

I seriously hate to be a negative Nancy but I went in here yesterday b/​c I happen to work about 4 blocks away and geez the customer service is a zero. I work in customer service, so a nice welcome or even a glance would be nice and while I was looking at one of the racks of clothes I was startled by one of the employees who nearly pushed me out of the way to hang some clothes up. When I looked at her she didnt even blink. Anywho I went back to my job and told my co worker who said she had received some tude’ as well so then I HAD to write a Unilocal review about it b/​c that is really not cool.
Besides those ladies, the clothing was pretty nice albeit a little over priced for some items. Unfortunately I walked out w/​nothing b/​c I didnt really want to be in there anymore. My suggestion: Be more chipper! It doesnt hurt.

This place needs to do a lot better on their prices, the selection is mediocre and the fittings rooms are terrible.

Just bought the best clutch from Something Else on Smith. I was looking for a clutch that also had a strap so I don’t have to put down my bag when I’m dancing. I got so many compliments this weekend and the strap worked out great when I was dancing at Chelsea Manor this weekend! My co worker had his party there and it was a blast. No trouble getting in thanks to accessgotham. So happy the bag worked out! Best $ 50 spent!

I never walk out empty handed. They stock cute, wearable, fashion-​forward clothes perfect for work & play. Really affordable too. BUT! What is up with the music? Last time I shopped there «Unskinny Bop» by Poison was blaring out the speakers. Who the fuck listens to that? You are a fun trendy shop – please play cool music! Thank you!

First off let me say ive rarely seen a group of more cute girls working in a store! And whoever the cougaris that i think is either manager and/​or owner is a damn MILF! I struck up a convorsation with her awhile baclk about the nflux of ghetto rats trying to make off with good out of her store; shes very personable and i like dat! =)
Anywyz back to the point… descent prices & very limited mens selection makes it more of a monthy checkout than a regularly purchase joint for me but i’m sure the gals will get more out of it than me Most of my problem isn’t the store as is i’m a 6’2 muscly guy who can’t where those hipstery jeans & i hate plaid shirts to boot-​O speaking of boots… they DO have a very decent shoe area for both, not to mention… agin…boots that ive had my eye on for 2 years now almost, i guess the price ain’t coming down so i’d better make up my mind sooner or latr on them before they do one day actually get bought out. Nice hats too!

This place does great jackets, hats, and shoes. The jeans, not so much.
Got a killer Spiewak military-​esque jacket here during the fall that I absolutely love. The designer Seven and Joe’s jeans at the store though are a little too «skinny» and expensive for my liking though, and sadly, the Levis they offer are all in junior sizes.
The tops are all a little too girly for my liking, but that’s just me. I like a little more androgyny in my style for tops, I guess.
In the back is a great little shoe section that is great to check out from time to time. Good selection of sneaks, converse, Toms, Asics, etc… and boots by Blowfish, Nine West, etc.
If you have some extra dough to throw around, and are looking for some nice supplementary duds, this might be the place for you.

An interesting selection of other brand name clothing and cute shoes. I’ll have to return to say more. Still what I saw was cute although its not friendly for people on a budget.

Good selection of reasonably priced shoes. Whenever I’m on Smith, I stop in and almost buy something. Really friendly service. If you buy something, they give you a card to get 10% off the next time. I’ve never used the card, but it’s a nice touch.

I bought a pretty expensive pair of jeans here (which I happen to really like) and they left the store alarm tag on it. I didn’t realize until I got home and then had to make a trip back to the store. The saleslady admitted she had forgotten several times that day to disconnect the tag. Lame.

A cute store to find some non-​mainstream clothes. I’m not super WoW by their style. Too plain. not unique enough for me.
But all that being said, they do have some good sections. check it yourself
They have decent price as well. Just not my style:-(

I liked this cute shop. I went in, bought a jacket and 2 blouses. There jeans were a little expensive for me so I just whizzed by them. Other than that staff seems nice, although I felt very watched but I mean customer service is there job, they were just trying to help me in finding my size and probably not to ruin their neatly folded items. I can deal with that. I had a good day finding what I needed but Im not sure that it fits everyone’s style. It tends to the more «Manhattany Look» people. Laid back styles is what I mostly found but nothing I can look «va va voom» in.

As far as what is currently being offered in the same area this store is one of the more down to earth. While you can still find flirty cocktail dresses you can also pick up a north face parka while you are at it.
Really what sold me is that they had idiot mittens for adults. I was pretty excited.
Friendly staff. Not too remarkable prices, but it beats having to travel to manhatten to get the same thing.
