Just outside of the city in Rosemont, shoppers will find a treasure trove of deals at this vast outlet mall. Anchored by big names like Neiman Marcus’ Last Call, Bloomingdale’s Outlet, and Saks off 5th, there are dozens of luxury brands like Under Armour, Tory Burch, Ted Baker, and Barney’s Warehouse.
Giant malls full of boutiques, luxury clothing, accessories and flagship stores (i.e. Top Shop, Anthropology, UNIQLO and Disney) flank the merrily decorated Michigan Avenue (conveniently located close to most hotels in Chicago during Thanksgiving). Shopping is almost magical when promenading with bags in-hand and Christmas lights in the air.
Small Business Saturday is more a thing in this artsy neighborhood. Chill Fest (a line-up of live music and DJs) provide a soundtrack for shoppers as they flit in and out of boutiques, consignment shops, record stores, and product line stores like Cartharrt, Dr. Marten's, Arc'Teryx, and Fluevog Shoe Company.
