Jean Therapy: The Top 5 Denim Stores in Chicago

Jeans: such a fashion staple, yet one of the hardest items to find the perfect fit in. Whether it’s the boyfriend cut, the skinny jean, or the classic bell bottom, skip the department store and go straight to the source. Paired with a slick heel and sassy tank, it’s the little black dress of the 20th century.

the blues JEAN Bar

Featuring a long wooden bar, the blues JEAN BAR is modeled after a neighborhood pub. Down the bar sits over 20 brands of designer denim and behind the bar rests endless stacks of blues piled on wooden shelves. To get their hands on the goods, shoppers mosey up to the bar where they can either “call” their brand or rely on the expert advice of the “bartender.” By specifying the desired style, wash, and brand the bartender will have your denim on tap.
