READ MORE OF OUR “BEST OF MILWAUKEE 2025” FEATURE HERE.
The 2025 Readers Choice survey results are in! Here’s what our readers had to say about shopping and style – and I couldn’t help but weigh in with some of my own picks.
Women’s Clothing
This boutique is all about quiet luxury – on-trend, high-quality pieces for women who like to dress up and look their best all year round. Faye’s also offers a small selection of eco-conscious brands. 1505 W. Mequon Rd., Mequon
BRIANNA’S PICK → PINK MOON BAY
My style leans a bit more casual and fun, and Pink Moon Bay in the Third Ward is just that. This bright little shop trades in things like colorful dresses, trendy Brewers sweatshirts, lots of denim and fun accessories – nearly all under $100. 317 N. Broadway
It’s time to pick your Milwaukee favorites for the year!
Men’s Clothing
Find polished suits, quality sweaters, tuxedo rentals and tailoring services at this Milwaukee menswear staple since 1948. Its tailored offerings lean higher-end, but there are plenty of more everyday looks at moderate price points as well. 244 N. Water St.
Hands down, Milworks is where I’d go to buy something for my fiancé. It stocks a range of high-quality wearables, from everyday T-shirts and jeans to pricey sweaters and shoes, as well as unique gift items and more. 143 N. Broadway
Vintage Clothing
This Bay View gem is filled to the brim with vintage looks that have an on-trend yet timeless feel. Find a curated collection of dresses, coats, shoes, accessories and more in the beautiful pink space. 3001 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.
Plume is my pick, too! I’ve been a fan for years and especially love visiting when they host parties, usually featuring local vendors, drinks and a DJ. I’ll dress up cute and chat with friends while we browse. Plume also has great jewelry, shoes and accessories – my weakness!
