Super Boss Sale!
11.08.09
This sale is pretty unreal. Everything at the Hugo Boss store at South Coast Plaza is marked down 40%! That’s huge for Hugo Boss followers. Hugo Boss specializes in contemporary to ultra-modern clothing and accessories for men and women. (European cuts mean sizes run small.) For the price, it offers top quality, cut and fabrics. In case you’re a Hugo newbie, their color label system goes like this: orange is casual wear, black is classic; red is European cut (fitted); green is sporty. Jeans and casual sportswear are their biggest seller, yet they carry head-to-toe casual and dress clothing. Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Level 1 at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. 714.641.8661.
