Show off your Lagniappe!

When men think of consignment shopping-if it crosses their minds at all- they seem to see a recent college grad pulling together his or her first "grown up" wardrobe.

While that can be the case, there are so many different types and styles of consignment shoppers! Which one are you?

In the next few months we are going to use this blog to help you find out. There will be quizzes, profiles of real L4Men shoppers dressed by our fabulous style consultants...the works.

So stay tuned!

Briefcase Alternatives: Tote your gear in style.

It used to be that if a man wanted to tote his necessities from here to there he had only a few choices: the briefcase for work, a duffel or backpack for the gym, or that same backpack, duffel, or a suitcase for travel.

Lately, though, a whole new world has opened up for men who want to tote their things from the office to the gym and back in style.

Messenger bags have become a great solution to this little issue. Not only can they comfortably carry all that a briefcase would hold with room to spare for a laptop or tablet, but they make great weekender bags as well.

From leather to nylon to canvas (or a combination of the above) many of our favorite brands have embraced this new way to help guys on the go look good doing it. Backpacks have been updated and modernized (check out the one shoulder "sling" version by brands like Hurley and Adidas) or go for the most popular new style: the messenger. Brands like Coach have gotten in on the action, as well as many others.

This new trend promises to have staying power. The streamlined look paired with plenty of space make a good messenger one of the most versatile bags available to men right now.

So guys, when was the last time you updated your carry-all? Isn't it time you try something new?

This brown Zippo Satchel with black accents goes well with anything in your wardrobe as well as being so versatile! It's got padding to kep your tablet safe and lots of interior pockets! It's a personal favorite at the Metairie Prima Donnas Closet and a steal at only $49.99

Why Consign?


Consignment clothing might be a new concept for many men. When talking to the men in my life, I'm constantly surprised by how many of them had never heard of consignment shopping.



Now, I understand that for the most part men see clothes shopping much differently than women do. it seems that most of you have a set "style" and a few favorite places to shop. The general consensus seems to be to get in and out as quickly as possible. Sales, events and trends do not always inspire a shopping trip, instead you guys seem to replace items that show wear or stains or no longer fit properly. That's all well and good. Though we love you just the way you are...

...clothing consignment is absolutely worth trying out. If you have recently gotten a new job, gained or lost a significant amount of weight, or just feel like your wardrobe no longer reflects your age, position, or tastes, consignment shopping is a great way to go.

Clothes at a consignment shop are much less expensive than the same item would cost anywhere else, so stores like the Lagniappe Lounge are a great place to find items if you are experimenting with a new look or trying to build a new business wardrobe.



 At the Lagniappe lounge we make it painless.

Just look through your closet and box or bag up anything by a high end designer that is still in good shape. Launder them or have them dry cleaned, and then swing by any of our locations. While one of our friendly, knowledgeable associates takes care of the paperwork you are free to browse our racks of fantastic casual or business clothing, hats, shoes and accessories. You are guaranteed to find a few items that will reflect your new size or style.

It's that easy! Stop in today.

Summer Wardrobe "Do's and Don'ts"


Are you a SUMMER FASHION DON"T?? Check out the article and find out! Love that particular piece because the advice is not an ad-the author is not trying to get you to throw out half of your closet or shop at a certain store. All of the "mistakes" on the list are things that I have heard real women mention when discussing the way that men dress. And any "don't" is so easy to fix! 

In fact, if you happen to be prone to wearing tank tops you will likely love our Khatmandhu T's-they are just as cool as a tank but will protect you from a Jersey Shore tan. 




 And while you are at it, lighten up your office look with a new tie or two. All of our locations have a great selection of designer ties in a rainbow of colors and patterns. Set aside your normal neckwear for something in a playful pattern or a lighter color. Small changes like this can make a big difference in your look!

Killer Summer Hats






The Royal store blew me away the last time I stopped in with their huge array of lightweight summer hats in a ton of styles! From fresh spins on newsboy hats to lightweight fedoras and straw cowboy hats...the is certainly something for even the most fickle of hat lovers and I would put money on even the most avid collector finding something to add to their collection! And, as always, the prices are insanely affordable!

Incredible Hermes Ties!


We got these great Hermes ties in at the Royal street shop the other day. I can't believe that anyone would let these beauties go...but their loss will be your gain! And for the price you may just be able to snag both. So classy!

Great Summer Outfit



At the Royal shop today I saw a great summer look (no doubt put together by Tiffanie) on one of our "man-icans" that I just had to share!

The ultra soft, super lightweight Kathmandu Imports T ($25.99) looks great paired with the LTB jeans ($86.99)

 Add one of our cool summer straw cowboy style hats, pictured below, ($15-25) and you'll have that cowboy rocker thing going....do it without the hat, as shown above, and you'll have a look that's great for a summer show, a day exploring The Quarter, or a casual night out.

How to Consign


Turn your closets into CA$H!
That’s right! If you wear designer and better label fashions, you, too, can turn your closet into ca$h! It’s easy, it’s fun and it’s profitable for us both!

Here’s how you do it:

• Go through your wardrobe and take out the following items for consignment: Those you will never wear again, never wore at all, too small, too big, gifts you never returned....anything that isn't your style right now.

• Bring in only top of the line items cleaned and in pristine condition. This is important! Bring us only the things that YOU would want to see in a store as a shopper. Anything stained, ripped, way-too-worn, or out of date should be donated to charity.  Do not put them back in your closet! Feng shui,sir, Feng shui!

• Concentrate on the current season. Just like you, our customers are shopping for items they can wear now. Box up you out of season clothing and store them somewhere out of the way until the appropriate time of year. Out of season stays in the back of your closet until the change of season. Clean, bag, and tag them like this: Lagniappe For Men – fall. 

• Raid Mom and Granny’s closet for vintage jewelry, hats, and furs and unique clothing.

• Keep clothes and suits on wire hanger, shoes in plastic bags, and misc. items in a box. Print your name on bags and boxes. Remember, the more you bring in the bigger the payouts!

• Drive to the most convenient location and let us know if you need help unloading your car.

• We will fill out a contract, you will get a copy, and you will be on your way to turning your closets into cash!
