Buy it: Chicago
Delicious steak houses and cool bars prevail across Chicago’s
landscape, yet men’s shopping has never been much of a priority.
Guys usually just head to one of the massive department stores on Michigan
Ave. for their style fix. But that’s starting to change. Boutiques,
sneaker spots and even bespoke shops are playing a bigger role in the
men’s style scene, and a Barneys location is on the way-which
would probably delight local style icon Kanye West.
