Great boutique in Brooklyn with a healthy stock of men's/women's/children's clothing, gift items and home decor. I popped in there looking for a gift for my nephew for Christmas and found the perfect item. Prices are reasonable and you're supporting a brick and mortar business rather than Amazon. Go do some shopping! read more

Excellent brands and tasteful style. Wish it was my closet. Great stop for gifts and or come out looking brand new. Love the Patagonia jacket options. The colors shades are unique as well. read more

Great jeans and t-shirts and super friendly staff! If you're looking for a gift it's a great place to find it.

I don't know why I haven't noticed this store for years. Fortunately, now I know. This place has everything you would need.

best brooklyn merch around. super nice peeps. def recommend.

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. read more

Stop by when the display caught my eye. Great choice and mix of clothing. Had a little bit of everything. Definitely would recommend to stop by if your in the area and are looking for that something else you need. read more

Something Else on Smith - Houston Buffalo Cap - Women's Clothing Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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:-( read more

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 yelp 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. read more

A small Smith Street boutique with a great selection of hip jeans, tees and sweaters as well as some okay shoes. The real draw here is that the person who choses the outfits in this place knows what the Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill Brooklyn not-quite-Hipsters like to wear. Smith street isn't Bedford ave and the style reflects it, a more understated but certainly chilled out style. Anytime I'm running late and need an outfit STAT, I head here. Dog Friendly of course! read more

I don't know exactly why this is, considering it's in the middle of super-trendy Smith Street, but the whole place has an oddly 'Bridge and Tunnel' vibe to it, maybe because of the shoppers who were there at the time, but also the very sweet and helpful salesgirls all have a very Jersey Mall Chick look. They layout and merchandising approach also remind me a lot of my teenage years hanging out at the mall. Especially the fitting room doors covered in patchwork denim. I, for one, fully approve of the un-trendy atmosphere, because I think it keeps the place honest. Prices are much more affordable than most of the other boutiques on Smith Street, and for largely the same sorts of items (the mallish vibe has nothing to do with the clothes, which are, as others have said, a slightly saner version of what the kids in Williamsburg are wearing this week). Even some of the brands are the same. I got a flirty little minidress for $40 which I know would have cost twice that, if not over $100, anywhere else in the neighborhood. I also love that they carry both clothes and shoes. The shoe selection is great, though I don't think they have a lot of stock. They didn't have my size in quite a few styles I liked (I wear an 8), most of which were not on the sale rack. Only two things keep me from awarding the coveted fifth star. Firstly, for some reason you can't buy clothes and shoes together -- they have two separate counters. Secondly, while the women's clothes are the perfect combination of what Brooklyn ladies are wearing right now, the men's clothes really are B&T - second rate Hollister and Abercrombie knockoffs. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I bought a scarf here, but found one I liked better at a different store. I returned my scarf, but they only offer store credit. Be aware of their store policy before shopping here. read more

Have to say--I assumed that everything in here would be size two, so I never really do more than browse. But when I bothered to ask a very nice woman there if they carry size 12 jeans, she was surprisingly helpful and the answer was yes! Don't worry about the hip look--ends up the people are down to earth and the selection is more broad than you think. And my jeans looked fabulous on my sudden weekend get-away to Paris. Yeah! read more

This place is great. I love the stylish and Functional theme to the clothes and gadgets. read more

One of my favorite spots in BK. It's been a bit of a hidden gem of mine for years. The staff there is always helpful and knowledgeable about the things they carry. They have a great selection of clothing, shave creams, oils, candles and men's accessories. Def recommend it to anyone. read more

This place was so much more than I thought it would be. They have an eclectic selection of high quality Male and Female clothes with some really trendy styles. They even have really cool onesies for toddlers! The apothecary section offers a wide range of off-beat, wholesome products from some interesting, some local, and some lesser known companies that I had never heard of before. The clerks are always friendly and very personable, offering assistance with styling, and sizing - checking their sister store on fifth for additional items if requested. I have always been happy with my purchases from them and I check their instagram feed often to see if they have any new styles, products, or promotions. Definitely recommended! read more

This is one of the few stores that I can shop aka afford that isn't filled with ugly shit. They carry some of my favorite designers, a good collection of t-shirts, and a ton of cute shoes. read more

Shop with caution! This place isn't TERRIBLE, but they need to work on their customer service/organization. I knew exactly what I wanted when I went in, which was a pair of Frye boots. The sign out front said that all boots were 30% off, but the saleswoman informed me when I walked in that that sale didn't apply to Fryes, which were only discounted by 15%. Whatever, nice trick, at least she told me right away. I was still pretty much set on the boots and was happy with somewhat of a discount. The woman asked me if I was familiar with Fryes, and I said these would be my first pair but I know plenty about them and several people who own them. She continued to practically lecture me on their awesomeness anyway. Pushy! Lady, this will be the easiest sale ever for you. Just let me buy the damn things. As with other reviews, I happened to notice that the saleswoman was basically neglecting other customers because I happened to be trying on something expensive. All of the attention was kind of embarrassing and a little annoying and also unfair to the couple behind me who were trying on sneakers. My credit card was very slow going through. She said it might have been the computer but she would just wait and see. After maybe ten minutes of me awkwardly staring at some mary janes, she said it was unsuccessful. Again, embarrassing, and I knew that I had sufficient funds and then some for the purchase so I started to worry. She tried it again and another ten minutes and she said she got the same message, "unsuccessful." I pulled out a different card that had just enough for the purchase and after a few more minutes it went through (while I was on the phone with my bank). So happy, Frye boots, yay, and I figured it was just a computer error and I would get things straightened out with the bank when I got home. I ended up getting charged three times for the boots. The boots are awesome but not worth nearly seven hundred dollars, thanks. After trekking down there in the snow to tell her (the same woman was working), she said she needed to see my bank statements. I told her I didn't have a printer and asked if I could pull the statements up on the screen for her. She said no, I had to bring them in, and they were closing at "five or six." WOW!!! So I had to run around to my banks to get my statements printed out (which they charge you for) and correct THEIR mistake. She couldn't care less that this mistake was made; you would think she would have immediately pulled it up on the computer, looked for the store receipt or something. But no, just "we need the statement, we close at five or six." Anyway, I am still in the process of getting everything straightened out. If I have more problems I will be sure to come back and Yelp some more. If it works out, I will probably shop there again but as a last resort. I suppose it's worth it to shop here if you know what you want (and god forbid you'll need to return it) and they are having a good sale. But in the long run, I just wish I tried them on, said I didn't want them, and BlueFlyed that shiz. read more

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. read more

i had a pretty bad experience here. i bought a pair of frye boots that were quite spendy. i asked about the return policy and their salesperson said "just bring them back in 14 days and we'll take them, no questions asked". i got home, wore them around, got a pretty bad blister and thought "not for me". the next day i brought the boots back and they would only return them for credit. so there i am, frustrated i can't get my money back but willing to make it work. i figure it's my own fault for not checking their return policy. so i pick out two pairs of jeans, the same woman who said i could only return the boots for store credit helping me, i find two pairs that fit, bring them to the counter with my "credit" when she tells me that the "credit" can only be applied for shoes and not clothing. big WTF. i've filed a complaint with amex as well as the bbb. if you buy something from there, make sure you really want it! otherwise you're screwed. hope this helps... read more

everytime i pass by something else, i have to go in. i simply must. generally, i make a beeline to the shoe section which is actually quite good. they have a good array of flats, sneaks, heels and other assorted trendy footwears. their prices aren't super for shoes, but they are pretty much what you would pay anywhere else for the same brands. the clothes are what i take issue with; for the most part, the goods are pretty cheesy, poorly-made frocks that you could find at one of those no-name joints on lower canal for a 5th of the price. you're better off heading to h&m or forever 21 for the same level of quality (or better) for less than they are charging. read more

The sign says they sell 'premium apparel and denim' here. Denim, certainly. Premium apparel...not really sure what that means, but they do sell some cool stuff at reasonable (US) prices. I managed to acquire two super-cool t-shirts here that fulfil my very specific t-shirt requirements (have to be funky colour and very unusual design) for around $50 for the pair. That represents decent business where I come from. If you're in the area, its a little shop that's worth checking out, but I wouldn't say its so special to go out of your way for. read more

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 :) read more

Something else might as well be called "Something Else That Will Fall Apart". I shopped here back when I moved in and everything that I bought here ended up with holes in it after only a few wears. Perhaps I am just clumsy and get caught on nails when I wear there clothing, but I don't think that's it. I tried on a shirt at the store and it had a hole in it, I should have ran away right then. They drew me in with their decent prices but I'd rather pay more somewhere else. read more

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! read more

WARNING! This store is staffed by scammers! While walking home from the train I passed by this overlit, junky storefront on Smith St. Lured by the Tom's shoes display and against my better judgement (this place looks like one of those pop-up, fly-by-night joints that sells goods which fell off the back of a truck) I purchased a pair as a gift for my husband. As I was paying, the saleslady told me she was unable to print a gift receipt. Ended up they were the wrong size, and so he took them to the store to exchange for the same product, right size. Not a cash refund, not store credit, just an exchange. He explained he didn't have the receipt, as they were a gift and the gift giver was denied a gift receipt. The two salesgirls in the store looked at each other and said, "Did you do that? No? No. I didn't do that. That wasn't us." He said it would have been comical if they hadn't been so downright mean.Then, just to prove their almighty retail clerk power, they pointed out that the price was missing from the box and that automatically disqualified him from any further assistance whatsoever. After calming him down, I called the store and requested the manager, explaining our situation. The extremely unhelpful, aggressive girl told me she was manager in addition to the salesperson who sold me the shoes and insisted she "always" gives receipts and that I must be lying. I reminded her that if she recalled the transaction then she must remember that I was a paying customer who only wanted to EXCHANGE the product. She barely let me finish my sentence, accusing me of being a liar and an apparent price tag thief, and reiterated the store's ridiculous "the customer is always wrong" policy. A disputed credit card charge and a letter to the Better Business Bureau are really not worth risking a transaction at this shady place. I don't know what kind of scam they run out of this joint, but I would stay far away. Besides the Tom's shoes, their selection consists of pleather rejects from 2001 and you could find more helpful customer service at the Department of Motor Vehicles. read more

I've enjoyed this shop since its early years in Park Slope and Cobble Hill. They carry perfect combination of trendy, fashionable and edgy. I've found it the perfect shop that doesn't make me think too hard about fashion while keeping my wardrobe up to date. I've purchased clothing for myself, friends, family, children and babies for years and do not find myself refreshing my wardrobe at too many other places. From t-shirts to heavy jackets, you won't find a better place to shop in Park Slope's 5th Avenue and Cobble Hill's Smith Street. read more

Just moved to Brooklyn and stumbled into this adorable boutique. Picked up a LEVI jean, and a few fun tees. Also met the owner who was chilling with his dog in the back and was super cool . Great to see small shops thriving. read more

Definitely more understated than blatant hipster style (which is quickly growing annoying), Something Else offers something for the hipster at heart who doesn't want to declare it to the world in a pretentious manner. This is good if you need a pair of jeans or new shoes. But I'd advise against getting an entire outfit here. read more

Self described as 'Premium Apparel and Denim.' They have some fun selections in a reasonable price range.

A great place for jeans and womens shoes (not sneakers). Reasonably priced and they have good sales. The staff is pretty friendly and really helpful. I feel like I can always find something I like in here. There is also a location on 5th Ave in Park Slope. read more

i'm a fan! i was in the area for dinner at a restaurant on the smae block and had some time to kill. i walked in thinking i'll just have a look not expecting anything. lo and behold i see this jacket. a cute long, down, and light jacket AND in extra small!!! tried it on and i fell i love!!! the sales people were great, they were super friendly. the rest of the store had some cute shoes which i had to pull myself away from and some cute top and jeans. loved it!!! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

My absolutely favorite women's clothing store in the Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens areas of Brooklyn. I am a Banana Republic / J. Crew style dresser and I was thrilled to find that Something Else really had so many things to fit this look at more than 1/2 the price. The fashion is edgy, urban and very "NY/LA" which at first glance is not my look. I dress quite preppy, proper and with a distinct lack of pattern. Yes, a black and white kind of shopper. However to my surprise and delight, Something Else has an fabulous selection of solid basics. For example they carry Hue which I love for leggings and socks. With little effort I always find great additions to my wardrobe, when I stop in, and the prices never prevent me from buying. I always get compliments on the items I have purchased here as well. My best three dresses of Summer 2013 came from here. Customer service is always very friendly and accomodating. The staff are quick to say hello and offer any help. They are NOT, which I really appreciate, hard sellers. They let you browse and are readily available for other sizes, questions and access to the dressing rooms. They also have an amazing customer incentive program called the 500 club. $25 off any item after spending $500. Final note of how much I love this store...when my family came to Brooklyn for Christmas last year, I took them to Something Else and we bought each other all our gifts for one another in one shop. Mens, Womens, Outerwear, Child and fun accessories. What's better than one stop shopping? Something Else really lives up to the name. read more
