I remember the first time I visited the Brooks Brothers flagship store in New York. Preppy was really in and I had to have a shirt. At the time, they didn’t make women’s clothes so I bought a large from their boys’ section. And I loved it. I’ve bought some other things from them over the years, including jewelry, and it tends to be on the conservative side but relatively well made.

This faux pearl bangle bracelet has the classic lines the brand is known for. It sells for USD$78.
