Though it’s a reputed haven for hipsters (whatever that means anymore), Wicker Park’s Six Corners actually teems with disparate, mingling fashions. This diversity stems in part from the broad spectrum of shops in the area: well-known brands such as
Urban Outfitters and
Free People, vintage stores such as
Ragstock and
Crossroads Trading Co., and independent boutiques such as
Una Mae’s and
Eskell. When you’re surrounded by young people and some of the city’s best shopping, it’s hard to swing a
Reckless Records bag without bumping into a stylish passerby.
