J. McLaughlin is on Third St. South in Naples but opened an outlet store in Bonita Springs. They carry high end casual clothes and some dressy things for the holidays in the outlet. However the outlet is much less than the Naples store. There you will find merchandise from previous seasons from 37 J. McLaughlin stores. Remember it's an outlet so don't expect to find a full run of sizes.

Some of the bargains I found were men's shirts that had been $105 full price, outlet price $29.90. Men's cable sweaters were $125, now $49.90. Cashmere blend sweaters that had been $225-245 now $69.90.

Fun, whimsical ties were $65, now $9.90. Corduroy jackets were $275, now $79.90.

Also I found some wild jackets for men in such bright colors I needed my sun glasses on!! I wonder who wears these? But for that special man you can find some real bargains here.

This is a Florida store and in it you will find Florida colors...nice and bright! For the ladies, I found holiday pants that were $39.90 that had been $185. Blouses for $29.90, French silk jackets were just $59.90. For you brave hearts..there were casual pants in colors wild enough to shoot at! $29.90. The Capri's that you would find in Naples had been $115. outlet price $29.90. Same price for silk Capri's that had been $165. There were pretty holiday skirts at $39.90. I saw dresses at the same price.

Karen, the manager said unlike other outlet stores this merchandise comes from their retail stores, not especially made for outlet pricing. With that in mind you may not find a complete outfit with everything to match in the group.

There were quite a few different style skirts priced from $19.90 and up. Tank tops from $10. I liked the embroidered sweaters for $50. and the embellished cashmere sweaters at $70.

Also found, popular ribbon belts and needle point belts. Even some hats.

This store is one you would zoom right by if you weren't looking for it. It is in the little strip mall just before Highland Woods. Karen said they do a lot of business by word of mouth.

J. McLaughlin is located in Highland Commercial Center. 8871 Brighton Lane Suite #5 in Bonita Springs. Phone: 498-1049. Hours: Mon.-Fri. 10 am -10 pm. Sat. 10 am - 5 pm.
