On October 16, our fourth annual Racked Awards gala celebration is taking place in NYC, where we'll toast our country's best and brightest retail stars. We'll announce one winner daily leading up the party. Men and women shopping together often becomes shopping for one gender at a time, jumping from floor to floor at a department store or moving from shop to shop. At Penelope's in Wicker Park, co-ed shopping can be a one-stop shared experience. In this intimate and charming boutique, couples and friends can shop individually without completely abandoning the other.
Penelope's has an impressive selection of menswear, womenswear, shoes and accessories. The shop carries a variety of brands at a range of price points: everything from cult favorites like APC to more affordable brands like Cheap Monday. While not as large as their clothing offering, it should be noted that their shoe selection is also eclectic and on point, ranging from Rachel Comey to Dolce Vita.
Whether it's from an established European label or a smaller indie brand, everything in the store is classic enough for everyday wear and far from basic. Penelope's approach to tailored contemporary style works well for men and women, and their thoughtfully designed space makes it an enjoyable shopping experience for all.
