Lissa on Maxwell
This women’s boutique can be pricey (most items cost between $200 and $400), but the owner does a nice job handpicking designers on the rise, and you’ll likely be the only one wearing in town their floaty dresses, fitted trousers and stylish jeans. The pieces are usually structured and long-lined so they’ll look good on most body types.

Habit
Despite the name, this wee woman’s clothing boutique definitely doesn’t sell outfits to nuns. Rather, its space is devoted to 15 indie designers – many of whom are local – who showcase their simple-but-chic dresses and purses. The look is upscale, though the prices are affordable (many pieces cost around $100).

Mng by Mango
This Barcelona-based company offers trendy women’s clothing for justifiable prices. It’s geared mostly to 20- and 30-something urbanites – think Penelope Cruz, who is the company’s spokesperson, as well as one of its designers. New shipments arrive twice a week; it’s located in Water Tower Place.

Medusa’s Circle
Not sweating enough? Medusa’s carries everything for raven-haired folk who like to wear dark velvet clothes on hot days. It’s mostly girly tough stuff, like T-shirts of kittens armed with guns, and purses decorated with skulls wearing pink bows.

Pivot goes green. All items are made from eco-friendly fabrics, such as the soft bamboo T-shirts. Even the shopping bags (50% recycled content) and clothing racks (made of reclaimed wood and steel) were created according to sustainable principles.
