Michigan Avenue.
Out in the western suburbs, try Oak Brook Center Mall in Oak Brook.

Michigan Avenue is the tourist shopping district and there are a number of expensive boutiques on Oak Street heading west from Michigan.
If you make in out into the neighborhoods there are some very nice shops along Armitage running west from Halsted and along Halsted running north from Armitage.
North and Clybourn really has all of the mall stores: Ann Taylor, Pottery Barn, Best Buy, etc.
Bucktown will have both stylish and more arty stores.
Southport has quite a few nice boutiques.
If you are in the market for furniture or art, look in the (high end) gallery district around Wells Street between Kinzie and Chicago.

The Navy Pier and shopping on the magnificence mile.
Walk along the North Michigan Avenue. There alot of shops but I'll name a few Macy's just took over Marshal
Fields. Carsons Pire Scott is leaving us soon. The Water Tower Mall.Those are the high end but there's alot to see in between. The Bean great silver bean that you can walk around and underneath it. Oh! dress warm in while walking the wind goes around the buildings and it's much colder. That's why were called the Windy City. I come to visit my sisters we take the bus to get around and subways.Then walk allover. I'll bet you'll have a great time.

Michigan Avenue is by far the nicest - from about Wacker north to Elm. Rush Avenue just west of Michigan is also nice.
You might also consider the "Clybourn Corridor," Clybourn Street northwest of Fullerton - lots of great shops along that street and parking too!
And of course there's State Street, in the Loop (corner of Madison and State) - Marshall Fields (well, Macy's) and Carson Pirie Scott's flagship stores are there and it's very classic Chicago.

If you are looking for national chains like nordstorm and neiman marcus then michigan avenue is great, (don't shop at macy's though), but if you are looking for some cute shops with original gifts, there are tons of places around the Clark and Belmont area! I always go there to get unusual accessories and awesome shoes (not expensive either! but very trendy and stylish). Enjoy Chicago!!

Skip Macy's. Everyone else is. Carson Pierre Scott is good. Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Lord and Taylor. Anything on State Street except Macy's. In Chicago we are pretty much banning Macy's for taking Marshall Fields from us.

i think of what "Taylor" is attempting to declare is Water Tower place. Yeah, it is the place all the dressmaker's shops are in case you're into that. The Woodfield mall is larger and has greater dressmaker shops, yet is placed in Schaumburg, IL approximately 25 miles from the downtown area. in case you and your loved ones are limited to the downtown area there remains a team of cool places you may look at.

michigan avenue & also state street are close by each other and have many stores to choose from. they run north and south and are less than a half mile apart too.

I agree with Michigan ave. and the Macys boycott....if you want to stay in the burbs Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg is good.
