Revolve Clothing Boutique Opens

Surf, shop, click, buy, receive, sigh, return. Repeat.

Thanks to the just-opened Revolve Boutique, you can end the vicious online shopping cycle (and your relationship with Penny at the post office).

The e-tailer’s first brick-and-mortar has white walls, vaulted ceilings, clothing for guys and dolls, piles of accessories, and a shoe loft.

A curatorial approach to the 500-label stocklist means merchandise can change on a whim to spotlight trends, a geographic region, or designers. There’s only ever room for about 50 lines, but if you find something you fancy on the site, click the in-store try-on option by 6 p.m. and drop by the next day to check it out without any obligation to buy.

Which means you won’t have to go postal.

Revolve Clothing, 8452 Melrose Avenue, between La Cienega Boulevard and North Croft Avenue, West Hollywood (323-944-0311 or revolveclothing.com).
