Chicago is a shopaholics delight with something for everyone from artsy and indie boutiques to designer stores, home décor havens, and top brand and chain stores galore. Home to many impressive shopping centers and malls such as the Magnificent Mile, 900 North Michigan Shops, and Water Tower Place, the city doesn’t disappoint when it comes to finding major national and international brands alongside local, independent favorites. The top shopping spots aren’t only confined to the city center – just outside the city limits, you’ll find excellent shopping experiences such as the massive indoor Woodfield mall and Fashion Outlets of Chicago in Rosemont near O’Hare International Airport. Here are some of the top spots to shop in the Windy City.
