bocnyc

Somewhere in the winding matrix of the Upper West Side lies a place where both soccer moms and fashion editors alike gather. That place is bocnyc. Standing for “boutique on Columbus,” bocnyc has been a modish retail hotspot in the area since 2013.

Somehow bocnyc accomplishes the metriculous task of fulfilling just about every fashion need of the modern woman. Thought you would never be able to find an outfit to wear from parent-teacher conference to work meeting to Whole Foods to happy hour? Think again. Their spirited sales associates will have you styled from head-to-toe minutes after you step into the store.

           

If neutrals are your jam, then you and bocnyc will be a match made in heaven. Their mix of contemporary ready-to-wear and luxury essential basics are globally-sourced and carefully curated. While some of their basics may not blow your mind, they WILL hold up for years to come. Think: classic button-ups with a twist, cozy cashmere sweaters, and printed linen skirts. Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy you a gorgeous silk midi-dress, and that's pretty close.

Ranking a strong score due to their dedicated sales associates, quality basics, and range of price points, their only area of improvement could be a more unique store atmosphere. Nevertheless, their catering of all your go-to brands like L’agence, Derek Lam, and Avant Toi, seals the deal for them. Whether you’re determined to be the best-dressed mom at the PTA meeting or are just in need of a new plain-white tee, there's really nowhere to go wrong at bocnyc.
