Meg

If you like your minimal wears and playful accessories to come with a side of female empowerment, consider adding Meg to your list of go-to haunts. Founded in 1994 by then-22-year-old designer Megan Kinney, the size-inclusive shop offers ready-to-wear from its eponymous brand, Meg—which is designed and produced in New York City—and carries accessories from a handful of labels whose proceeds help support local schools and factories and nationwide nonprofits. Like Meg, all of the accessories brands are also women-owned, making shopping for good a total breeze.

         

Upon entering the small yet comfortable space, which features crisply whitewashed walls and earthy decor, prepare to be greeted by one of its stellar stylists, who will help acquaint you with Meg. Known for its above and beyond customer service, the store offers complimentary alterations on anything you fall in love with. From relaxed jumpsuits perfect for lazy weekends to ruffled day dresses and exceptionally cut workwear, the shop’s offerings are the kinds of effortless staples that those impossibly cool Brooklyn moms rock on the daily.

For a touch of whimsy, dress up Meg’s groovy two-tone denim flares with some sculptural gold earrings from ethical jewelry line Soko, which is made by artisans in Kenya. Or, ground one of their tailored A-line dresses with a pair of wooden soled leather sandals by Lisa B. The beauty of minimalist clothing is that it pairs well with everything, so build out your wardrobe basics with a spree at Meg—your closet and conscience will thank you.
