“I visited Whitworth while in Newport over Thanksgiving, and even though I don’t live here, I have to say it’s my new favorite boutique! It’s a beautifully curated store and I fell in love with almost everything I tried on. The owner was so kind, and I felt comfortable and welcomed the entire time I was there, even as I was being indecisive trying on different things. I live in Philadelphia and we don’t have a boutique that compares. I’ll now go out of my way to support Whitworth in person when I visit and online!”
“They have such a cute selection of clothing and accessories, with styles that are both trendy and unique. Every time I shop there, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. A special shoutout to Madeline, who was kind enough to help me find different options and put together outfits. She was patient and made the whole shopping experience so enjoyable. If you're looking for great fashion and excellent customer service, I highly recommend stopping by Malibu Fridays!”
“Nothing but good things to say.I stopped by the shop while visiting Newport and picked up 3 great looking shirts. When I got home I noticed the shirts were a little small and needed to size up. I reached out and got a response almost instantly telling me to send them back for an exchange free of charge despite not having my receipt. Jeff Marlowe was super helpful and responsive, would recommend anyone to check out what they have to offer!”

“The lady who helped us today was very kind and friendly. We wanted an item that was out of stock in the store and she went out of her way to check the other store for us.”
“Just wanted to say I am sad that you're closed randomly on 9/30. I'm in town 1 day and walked out of my way to come check out your store. Maybe next time. ?”
“I had an amazing shopping experience at the x & o boutique today. I purchased a few vilagallo blouses and Leslie was beyond helpful answered all my questions and gave me her honesty opinion on how the items looked on me and recommend sizes. I appreciate that they had a range of sizes available. I will be a repeat customer!”
“Love love love, this was my first time ordering but won’t be my last!
This company went above and beyond to not only gift wrap my purchase but give handwritten thank you notes and body butter samples that were to die for.
Thanks for making me feel valued!”
“Wow! This store is a must stop for anyone in Newport. My family not only got some great gear to use sailing and day to day, but our experience was memoriable Virginia, was amazing, she was well versed in all of the products, was very helpful with my wife as she was selecting vests and other gear. She also guided us on other local attractions to check out with our kids.
Going Above and beyond.
We had actually left an item at the store and Virginia helped ship it back to us, with a lovely personal note. If anyone from **Gill Management** is reading this, know, you've got an amazing associate with Virginia. I reccomend anyone in Newport stop by the Gill store, they have great products and a team there that exceeds expectations.”
“The store offers great deals in a very expensive town.I had the pleasure to meet the owner, and he was the most friendly and welcoming store owner I ever talked to.His love for his job and for helping people was above and beyond.We even chatted about Tunisia, my country of origin, and he was very knowledgeable.People like him deserve a medal of respect for their service to their community.Thanks to him I want to visit that store again.”
“Went in yesterday and found the shop to be well stocked, the owner full of knowledge and very fun. Ended up purchasing a down jacket and I am very satisfied. Won’t hesitate to return or recommend.”
“One thing I like about Newport is that they really have unique merchandise in many of the shops. In an age where "good shopping" is sort of moot if you live in New York or, duh, have the internet, this is one place where you actually can find some unusual items. Royal Male has a lot of Barbour and St. James clothes, but also high quality clothing from smaller manufacturers. The best reason to shop there, though, is that the two guys who are usually in the Mary St. location actually know clothing . Yes, they want to sell you pieces, but they know their inventory, they know how clothes are supposed to fit, they have some idea if a color compliments your complexion, and they won't let you leave unless something looks good on you. That's a vanishing skill, and it's priceless. Stop in. My wife (yes, they have women's clothes) and I always do, every time we visit Newport.”
“I had a great experience at Island Outfitters! They had a great selection of clothes, The store was neatly organized and everyone was friendly and helpful! My favorite store to shop at in Newport”

“Been coming here every year for 6 years, my wife swears by their stuff. We introduced two friends to it and they were happy with it as well. High quality material at decent prices.”
“29Apr.2024 The best spot to shop. These fab ladies are so wonderful and welcoming. They make you want to shop here. The supply is always up-to-date and beautiful.Most of the stuff that is in the catalog is in the store. I love the new everyday tote. Over the years the style changes. If I didn’t already have enough totes, I would buy this.Just stop in an shop. There is something for every woman. I mean every woman.”
“I recently had the pleasure of being assisted by Michelle during my visit to Old Navy, and I cannot say enough good things about her service. From the moment I walked in, Michelle greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel welcome. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I was looking for.
Her patience and professionalism stood out, even when the store was busy. I truly appreciated how she took the time to ensure I was happy with my selections, and her positive attitude made the entire shopping experience enjoyable.
Michelle exemplifies what great customer service is all about—friendly, efficient, and always willing to go the extra mile. I will definitely be returning to this store, thanks to her exceptional help.
Thank you, Michelle, for making my shopping trip so pleasant!!”
“I was in the Newport store today looking for a dress that I saw online. The store did have the dress. I tried the dress on and was it perfect. Elizabeth was great and very helpful. It was a wonderful experience. I did purchase the dress.”
“Staff are great - Lena was super attentive and fast. Fay was considerate and thorough as well.Uniforms are expensive but that's a separate issue... my advice is go to a thrift store before coming to OCS to look for stuff that fits.”
“Surprised to see a GAP store at the seaport in New Port, Rhode Island. I just stopped by to take a peek. Picked up a t-shirt and shorts for the summer. Guest service was outstanding.”
“Small cozy shop, I found they had the best quality and didn't feel super touristy. we bought a women's tee, mens lid, and girls sweatshirt from here and all good quality and price”
“Was visiting Newport with my friend and happened to walk into this boutique. I found a great navy jacket and a bracelet and necklace. They have beautiful dresses as well and my friend loved the unique handbags.”
“I had the best shopping experience here recently and that is not always the case for me in Newport. The sales associate (date was 2/26) was extremely friendly and professional and helped me find a dress for an engagement party! Will be back soon!”

“I went for the first time this week and was so happy to finally experience the store in person after years (10+) of following them on Tumblr and Instagram. I wanted everything in the store. Britt was there and helped me, she made the shopping trip everything I could have wanted, thank you !”
“Amazing quality - the cashmere is so soft and amazing styles. There is always a great selection of new clothing to choose from, whether it’s jeans / shorts, fun summer tops, so much jewelry selection. You can also find great little gifts for anyone (purses / candles / masks)”
“I had a wonderful time visiting and shopping here! I love the Life Is Good brand, and the workers are always super nice and friendly! I would totally recommend shopping at this welcoming and inclusive environment!”
“There’s a great selection of Lilly clothing, and I love that signature stores have sale racks!
It’s a shame to see so many negative reviews about the return policy and the sales associates. The policy is clearly posted at the register and around the store. And while the girl at the register was not wearing Lilly, she was kind and helpful.
I was happy to shop here and snagged a couple of new dresses!”
