Saks Fifth Avenue

Saks Fifth Avenue might be best known for its designer collections -- Valentino, Chloe, and Giorgio Armani, to name a few -- but the store also does a decent job of buying more casual and less expensive merchandise. Still, the mood here can be somewhat chilly, and the high-fashion clothes on display seem geared toward the super-skinny. The men's department is located in a separate building across Michigan Avenue. Don't forget to visit the cosmetics department, where Saks is known, in particular, for its fragrance selection.
