Polo/Ralph Lauren
Manor house meets mass marketing—the upper-crust chic covers men's, women's, and children's clothing as well as housewares. Fabrics are often enticing (suede, silk organza, cashmere), but expect to pay a pretty penny.
Prada
This store has a spare, cool look that matches its modern inventory of clothing, shoes, and bags. In fact, unless you're a Miuccia devotee, the three-story shop can seem almost bare.
The Rat on Bull
In the heart of the Starland District, The Rat on Bull offers apparel, accessories, and apothecary items for men and women. Located inside a former barbershop, there's a thoughtfully curated selection of hip, ethical brands like Res Ispa, a shoe company known for upcycling kilim rugs into elegant loafers. The shop also spotlights local designers and their unique creations, from fine leather backpacks to 3D-printed jewelry.
Seattle Team Shop
The Seattle Team Shop has your Seahawks, Sounders, and Mariners needs covered.
Sigi's Boutique
Women seeking high-end European designer fashions and accessories love this shop's fine cashmere from Scotland, stylish classics from Italy and France, and sportswear from Herno.
Sir and Madame
Displayed among the leather suitcases and vintage furniture are of-the-moment denim, tops, Ts, and dresses from the likes of Cheap Monday, Boxing Kitten, and Funktional, along with the equally hip in-house label—for men and women, naturally. The aesthetic? "Classic with a twist." Vintage eyewear keeps you looking just as sharp from the neck up.
Topshop
In 2011 this beloved British brand invaded a 30,000-square-foot space on the corner of Michigan Avenue and Pearson Street, bringing the latest U.K. fashions to the Mag Mile. Notable among the three floors of clothes, shoes, lingerie, and accessories are collections from Topman, the men's clothing branch, and cosmetics exclusive to Chicago.
Valentino
No one does a better red than Valentino, and the mix here at this four-story town house is at once audacious and beautifully cut; the fur or feather trimmings, low necklines, and opulent fabrics are about as close as you can get to celluloid glamour. Big spenders can request the VIP suite.
Zara
The Spanish chain's original Chicago outpost has 34,000-square feet of cute, trendy clothing that usually won't bust your wallet. A second location opened in retail hub Block 37 (1 W. Randolph Street).
