For starters, you have to accept Sawgrass for what it is: an outlet mall. The ""designer"" stores are selling 2nds, ( slightly imperfect items), overproduced, or last years items, or even items made specifically for the outlet malls: a cheaper product, at a cheaper price. You won't find as much attention to detail in the tailoring or finish, for instance, at the tops you'll find at Banana Republic outlet vs. one of their regular stores. This isn't the case in all the stores - there are plenty of overstock and perfectly fine items to be had. You will have to hunt for them, however, and try on a lot of 'almost perfects' before you hit pay dirt. However, with diligence and a positive attitude, there are lots of great deals to be found.
Pros: variety, prices, variety
Cons: huge=lots of walking, often crowded, long walk to car
