This meatpacking-district shop is the first stand-alone showcase for Adam Lippes, a designer whose fashions have appeared in Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, and Saks. While most area stores trend toward the avant-garde, the emphasis here is on high-quality basics: soft-as-butter Peruvian pima cotton cut into classic unisex henleys, polos, crew necks, and tank tops. Beyond that, the women’s collection highlights pretty items with ageless appeal: chunky grandpa sweaters lined in silk, day-to-evening dresses in neutral tones, wide-leg trousers, Aurelie Bidermann jewelry, and alligator clutches by Nancy Gonzalez. Cozy knits for men, like striped cardigans and cashmere hoodies with thermal lining—all in a conservative palette of gray, navy, and olive—pair well with their traditional button-ups and lightweight jackets for casual Fridays at the office. — Katie Hintz
