Since I did not want to spend the next year sleeping on the couch, I took her hints to heart and visited Khaki & Black. The store has a very clean layout, which makes it easy to find what you are looking for. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to find clothes that not only were stylish and fit my frame, but ones that were comfortable and I liked to wear. They helped to make the clothes shopping experience comfortable from start to finish. Next time I am in Madison, I will be sure to stop by to pick up some new threads.

As a young woman, there are a lot of places to shop for clothes in the area. It is a lot more limited for men when looking for quality basics and casual wear. When I brought my boyfriend in there to shop, he was helped by the store owner. It almost felt like a personal styling session - my bf always has trouble finding jeans that will fit. He's tall and he works out a lot so his thighs are a little bigger than average. He was given many options and left satisfied with a great new pair of jeans and helpful tips from the owner!

When I walked inside I was greeted by Amy, she was so kind and welcoming. The front of the store had the most adorable red and white merchandise with hearts, in preparation for Valentine's Day!

Some of the items are a bit too costly. J Alden is a beautiful family owned boutique. There is something here for everyone.

"A-OK" I liked this…read morestore, it had a nice mix of selections and designers and was organized in a way that wasn't too overly done, but made sense. The staff was extremely helpful (one of them) or mediocre & preoccupied (the other). I stopped in before a work related dinner as I arrived to town early and had already had some Starbucks, and I was glad I did. I walked away with 3 new tops which I'm thoroughly enjoying. Minus one star for size selection - they carry all 3 "regular" sizes (S/M/L) but she told me more than once that "they usually only send one in that size" and that people often ask for those sizes... so... order more? And minus one more star for price - there were no promotions or sales other than the weird colors from last season, and the products were overpriced compared to what you can get them for online. I liked the ability to try them on, but more than once I hinted I would purchase two more items if I could get a price break somewhere and it was essentially ignored. Their loss!

Guilio was so helpful, incredibly knowledgeable and their prices were great! The turn around time was so fast!! Highly highly recommend. There is NOTHING like a custom suit and it shows.

Even down to moving the shirt button just a tiny smidge to make him more comfortable. Would go back 100%!!

Lo and behold, I did find a pair that I really, really liked on Tuesday. I went home and tried to find them online, but to my luck I couldn't find them anywhere. When I came back on Thursday and was approached by a sales associate asking if I needed any help and I told him the exact pair that I wanted. He bent down and looked in the drawer where all of the new fresh pairs were kept. He takes out a pair and says oh these are them, and I said "no, I'm sorry they're not, they're not the right color." He said, "yes they are, they are the same model number as the one you just showed me." (Rodinara MK5009). I told him that through my research I noticed that there are four pairs they go under this model number, but they are just different colors (Silver, gunmetal, rose/pink, and gold). He said, "oh well, we just go by the MK4digit here." You could tell he was getting slightly flustered because it was apparent that I was more knowledgeable in the product that he is supposed to be selling to me. Thankfully not too long after, we found the exact pair that I wanted and I went up to the register. During checkout, I felt extremely rushed. I understand it's supposed to be a quick transaction, you know, the usual swipe your card, sign, etc., but it just seems like he couldn't wait for me to leave so that he can move onto the next potential customer. Nevertheless, the store is incredibly clean, welcoming, and thankfully stocked.

It's funny that I've bought several articles of MK clothing at Macy's, but don't often think about…read moregoing into the outlet since all you see in the window is purses. But, twice in a row when I've needed an outfit/dress for special occasions (a wedding and my birthday) MK has come through and had just the right thing for me! I'm honestly not a fan of the bags, and that's just a personal preference but I am a fan of the clothing. When I was just there it seemed that most, if not all, of the bags were all synthetic. If I'm at an outlet spending ~$150 on a bag, give me the real leather! Now if you don't want leather and prefer synthetic, they've got some good looking bags. Anyway, I was here looking for a dress to wear to a wedding but when I saw that all but one rack of clothes said to take an extra 60% off the ticketed price, I ended up grabbing any and everything I liked that was my size, or close to it, and trying it on. I ended up with 4 dresses, a pair of jeans and a sleeveless top for only $130 including tax!!! It was unbelievable, I'm not sure how often they offer an additional percentage off, but when I got to the register she said it was an additional 20% off! There were a few things in the store that the extra 20% off didn't apply to, but luckily I wasn't shopping for those (sunglasses, perfume and selected bags). It was amazing and this was definitely the big hit of my day. The store was bright and clean and when the woman that was helping realized what I was looking for, or even what my boyfriend started looking at while I was in the dressing room, she started looking in the back and bringing me more things to try on! She was great and I wish I knew her name. I'm definitely a huge fan now and this will be one of the select stores I stop in every time I come to Clinton! I've been waffling between 4-5 stars, and I'm going with 5 for the deals and service and overall experience. The only thing pointing me to 4 were those synthetic material bags, but since I wasn't really shopping for bags and I was there for clothes, I decided to stick with 5.
