Groupe 16sur20: Sale!

Summer is counting down its last days, which generally means a mad scramble to pack the weekends with activities you haven't quite gotten around to yet. If these activities are the type that requires a fashion statement — like hitting the race track or a little jaunt to the “country” — you'll be happy to know that Groupe 16sur20 is having a giant sale. Located in New York's Nolita and an offshoot of the custom high-end Seize sur Vingt, Groupe 16sur20 conceptualizes, designs, produces and wholesales some seriously posh ready-to-wear lines for both men and women. Twill pants, strategically deconstructed shoes that "will hold up to an especially rough game of pétanque," and seersucker suits are just a few of the items that will be discounted; you can take a peek on the store’s blog. All are perfect for some high class summer fun or, perhaps, just sitting in the sun sipping mint julep and spouting Mark Twain quotes. Ahem (brow blot with linen hankie), "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it,” if you’re into that sort of thing…although, we’re sure they’ll look great on you while you’re sitting in your office, kicking yourself that the only worthwile thing you did this summer was hit up this sale, too.
