Tom Ford

Upper East Side

Famous for revamping Gucci, among other accomplishments, Ford does not disappoint with either his eponymous line or his Madison Avenue flagship, a sleek, grandiose temple to glamorous fashion. While sipping complimentary liquor, shoppers will find that women's stilettos and clutches are unabashedly sexy; men's selections encompass made-to-measure items along with traditional and impeccably tailored garments. Shirts come in over 300 hues, and off-the-rack suits start at around $5,300. His Black Orchid unisex fragrance is a cult favorite.

Center Strip

Rich textures, zippy colors, perky prints, and Bohemian spirit infuse the stylish, wearable clothing and accessories at Tory Burch. Handbags, pumps, and ballet flats are staples here.

Recommended Fodor's Video

Trash and Vaudeville

East Village

This punk mecca is famous for dressing stars like Debbie Harry and the Ramones back in the '70s, and its rock-and-roll vibe lives on, albeit two blocks from its original location on St. Marks Place. Goths, punks, and pro wrestlers shop here for bondage-inspired pants and skirts, as well as vinyl corsets and minikilts.

treehaus

Atwater Village

If gift-giving is your love language, stop by treehaus for trinkets and surprises that have a uniquely L.A. touch. The shop carries local artisans’ treasures ranging from clothes and jewelry to art supplies and toys for children.

Tren-D

Disney Springs

This boutique has "hip" and "eclectic" written all over it (hence the name), with ever-changing merchandise that gives (primarily teenage) shoppers a chance to wear clothing imprinted with 1980s and ’90s cartoon characters, fashions from the Disney Parks Forever Collection, and chic sundresses with subtle Mickey-ear designs that are perfect for an evening at the shops and clubs of Disney Springs. Designer items are from Billabong, Dooney & Bourke, Harveys (Original Seatbeltbags), and Roxy, with many featuring fairies and princesses.

Two Birds

Noe Valley

A fresh place to find a lacy top or a soft pair of jeans, Two Birds stocks Frēda Salvador, Ulla Johnson, and Smythe. You'll also find sleek jewelry, handbags, and dresses by local designers.

Una Mae's

Wicker Park

This Wicker Park favorite is bursting at the seams with affordable styles for guys and girls. The accessories here, often even more fun than the clothing, may include vintage bow ties, Pendleton blankets, backpacks, and incredibly colorful jewelry. A room packed with vintage clothes hides down a creaky flight of stairs.

Undefeated

Paradise Road

Las Vegas has its own branch of this small West Coast–centric chain, with a location in a strip mall near Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. It's the authority on premium sneakers and street wear, from retro Jordans to a pair of Bad Bunny–branded Adidas. Look for classic brands sitting next to limited-edition pieces, as well as Undefeated, their own label.

Unika

A longtime fashion resident of Coconut Grove (circa 1989), Unika takes shoppers from day to night, and all affairs in between, with a wide range of inventory for men and women. The contemporary boutique has an it-girl vibe, but the cool, relaxed one you’d actually want to be friends with. High–low pricing appeases all budgets; expect to uncover up-and-coming designer gems tucked within the racks of well-known brands. Bonus: the staff is great with styling for a head-to-toe look.

Union Rose

For distinctive women's fashion and accessories designed and made in Portland, check out this boutique in up-and-coming Montavilla. Though there are scores of dresses for any season, including a very good selection of dresses and skirts in plus sizes, there's also plenty of everyday wear, like hoodies and hats.

United Apparel Liquidators

French Quarter

Label-loving locals as well as celebrities in town shooting movies are known to shop at this designer clothing liquidator. The tiny boutique is busting with deeply discounted apparel, shoes, and accessories by major designers, such as Marni, Balenciaga, Michael Kors, Phillip Lim, and Prada. Contemporary lines, such as Serfontaine Denim, Steven Alan, Yigal Azrouel, and Alexander Wang, have also been spotted on the racks. The stylish, friendly, and eminently helpful sales staff has created a loyal cult of frequent shoppers.

United Apparel Liquidators

Hillsboro Village

If you're looking to score a killer deal on designer clothing, look no further than United Apparel Liquidators (UAL for short). This small Southern chain has locations in 12South and West End, with Hillsboro Village's being the smallest. It still has an excellent selection, though, with up to 90% off retail prices for brands like Marc Jacobs and Theory (stock varies seasonally).

Vagabond

Old City

The two designing women/co-owners of Vagabond pioneered a formula—selling vintage wares alongside new, edgy labels and featuring under-the-radar brands like their own (Stellapop and City of Brotherly Love). It's been imitated plenty ever since, but this boutique still does it best.

Vilebrequin

Upper East Side

Allow St-Tropez to influence your summer style. This iconic French swimwear designer began by making classic striped, floral, and solid-color trunks in sunny hues, first for men and then later on for boys. Nowadays, it has expanded to include girls' and women's lines, resort wear, and summer accessories. The brand also has a Hudson Yards location.

Vinnie Louise

12 South

Named after the owner’s grandmother, this boutique stocks casual trendy women’s clothing at accessible prices along with a small selection of footwear and jewelry. Greeting cards, candles, and a few other gift items are available. The store's earthy vibe is enhanced by its worn brick floor. This is one of four locations in Nashville, with an additional one in Franklin.

Vintage Soul

A straight-up cowgirl vibe permeates this well-curated shop filled with blingy jewelry, woven purses, cheeky Texas-themed T-shirts, and truly unique clothing with some vintage mixed through, in a Stevie Nicks mode. In fact, a huge picture of Nicks looms large on the wall, sporting her famous quote: “Don’t be a lady, be a legend.” That just about sums up the Vintage Soul style.

The Webster

SoHo

When the French stylist behind this beloved luxury concept store from Miami decided to open an outpost in New York, she renovated a six-floor, landmarked building and injected some of the original store's signature art deco sensibilities. The result is a narrow, extremely styled space filled with artful displays of luxury-brand clothes and accessories. Make sure to explore beyond the first floor to find men's and women's clothes and home furnishings.

Whitney & Winston

Beacon Hill

This too-cute—and a bit bohemian—mom-and-kid clothing store features looks from fairly expensive, small brands, and there's no question as to its place in Beacon Hill society. This is where the neighborhood women come to buy frocks that aren't made to be worn to the office. There's also a nice selection of toys and kid gift items, including stuffed animals and sensory jars.

Wild Dove Boutique

Coronado

Presenting a more chic, yet still casual alternative to the beach attire available throughout the island, Wild Dove offers a selection of fashion-forward women's apparel appropriate for both work and play. Handbags and other accessories make for a complete outfit.

Wilder

Hillsboro Village

Pop into Wilder for fresh and fun women's fashion sold at affordable prices. The selection runs the gamut from casual to date night, with an array of accessories to boot, as well as a selection of giftable trinkets and goodies to throw in with your new floral dress and beaded purse. Wilder also carries a "Nashville collection" of clothing and accessories, making it a great spot for souvenirs or gifts for friends back home.
