Some things never go out of style, like the classic department store Lord & Taylor. The gorgeous flagship store on Fifth Avenue—named a landmark in recent years—has an ever-changing stock of solid brands like BCBG Max Azria, BCBGeneration, Michael Michael Kors, Milly, Nanette Lepore and Kate Spade, and is a great place to get high-quality essentials such as day-to-evening dresses and winter coats. The unassuming salespeople make for one of the calmest shopping experiences in the city.
