Have you tried Indigo in the West End? I think it would be a better mix and the clothes are a bit higher end in terms of their brands. That is my main problem with Plato's closet--most things are from Target or similar.

No, I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!! Is it in the River Road shopping center (as we used to call it)?

nope not quite- it is in the shopping center (idk if it even has a name) across the street from bernies subs, the hardware store, and 7-11. They always have their deeply reduced sales racks out on the sidewalk.

Plato's Closets are normally catered to teens and twenties. The selection is entirely dependent on who works in the particular store as they have awful quality control standards.

Uptown Cheapskate is slightly better, caters mostly to twenty-somethings but occasionally has great stuff for office/professional people.

There was a Clothes Mentor that caters to a slightly older demographic (twenties and up) but it closed in November. There is still one in Newport News and one in Fburg though. Think Chico's, Loft, Liz Claiborne, etc. Worth the drive IMO if you are looking for like office stuff.

You should dress however you want though! Age is just a number.
