Although Sy passed the reigns to his daughter Marcy many years ago, he remained an active steward of the SYMS’ brand right up to his passing.  Perhaps Marcy summed it up best when she said “My father was a really passionate person, and someone who was a bit of a visionary.  And he was above all tenacious.  Once he believed something could happen, he pulled out all the stops to make it so.”

Our loyal customers have expressed their appreciation for Sy’s business ethics, their many years of enjoyable memories of him, and of their experiences in SYMS Clothing Stores.

We appreciate your kind words and messages, and we thank you for taking the time to share them with us.

Fall’s 2009 color trends reflect today’s tough economic times with a variety of uplifting jewel tones. According to celebrity stylist, Roger McKenzie, “Purple is the new black.” This fall shades of purple, berry and burgundy are all the rage in everything from clothes to handbags to shoes and even make-up. In fact, these color ways are considered a neutral this fall and can therefore be paired with almost any other color. Texture is also very important this fall. Plaids, pleats and ruffles are huge again this year and will be used in clothes and accessories. Also look for fall florals and thick cable knit sweaters in interesting shapes and in rich tones of purple, rust, green and blue. To keep up with the latest fashion trends for 2009 and beyond, be sure to visit Syms for the latest upscale men’s and women’s styles at bargain prices.
