Castor & Pollux

Named for the Gemini twins, this shop has been serving up effortlessly elegant pieces for nearly a decade. It occupies a sleepy, slightly off-the-beaten-path corner of the West Village, which means that perusing the racks for picks from Acne and United Bamboo is a gloriously stress-free affair. 238 W. 10th St. (between Bleecker and Hudson Sts.), 212-645-6572
