And yours is impeccable: From the fine wines you sip to the crisp shirt on your back.

But every now and then, you keep something just to yourself—a “gilty” pleasure. Let us introduce you to one of our favorites… The Gilt Groupe. Savvy sartorial members who know about Gilt’s exclusive, current-season sample sales from Rag & Bone, Trovata and other luxe labels can skip ahead to join Gilt.com.

For the rest of us, think of Gilt.com as the ultimate source for luxury sample sales. Thanks to well-developed partnerships directly with top brands as well as an alliance with the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America), you can bid adieu to sharp elbows, chaos and spotty garment district locales, and say hello to cutting edge designs for men and women on apparel, shoes and accessories at prices up to 70% off retail. Peppered throughout the week, Gilt’s emails point you to exclusive 36-hour online shopping blitzes leading to a new season of clothes or something to better your home. Hickey Freeman’s sportswear, John Varvatos’ classics, and comfort connoisseur James Perse are all on tap.

To get access to the invitation-only site, you’ll need a special hook-up. Luckily, we’ve got you covered and then some.

Join Gilt.com today (it’s free) and they’ll even throw in a $10 credit when you sign up.

Beating the crowds has always been your style.
