Best store for women's clothing
If you survived the chaos that was H&M's Boston grand opening in September, you most likely came
out of the pandemonium with a few bruises - but chic Bostonians wear these battle scars proudly. Months
later, you can still run into lines at the Downtown Crossing store, and you'll still find shoppers fighting
over sizes. What's all the excitement about? Offering European styles on a Marshall's budget, H&M is the
only store in Boston where you can pick up a Pravda-worthy outfit for less than $35. The Swedish company
has been around for more than 50 years, but it stormed the shores of America just last year, bringing with
it prices at least as low as Filene's Basement's and clothes of consistently high quality. We only wish the
Swedes had gotten their act together sooner.
You'll want to buy almost everything in Jasmine Sola too, but be warned that it's on the expensive side.
You're paying for quality clothing from labels such as French Connection, Juicy Jeans, and BCBG. Be sure
to check out the jewelry cases and wander into the adjoining shoe store. And don't despair if you are on
a budget: wait for the end-of-season sales to find great deals on the back racks.
H&M, 350 Washington Street, Boston, (617) 482-7081. Jasmine Sola, 37 Brattle Street, Cambridge, (617) 354-6043; 329 Newbury Street, Boston (617) 437-8466.
