E Street Denim in Highland Park
Yes, there are plenty of denim options in the city, but this North Shore boutique never disappoints. It seems that when any high-profile denim brand launches in the Chicago area, E Street is one of the first stores carrying it. The Highland Park shop has been in business since 1990 and is known for offering a huge selection of midrange to high-end denim and other clothing items, with brands including Paige Premium Denim, J Brand and more. And, really, we’d go to the ends of the earth to find an amazing pair of jeans…Highland Park suddenly doesn’t seem so far. 1876 First St, Highland Park (847-433-8338).—Kevin Aeh
