Whether you need a barely-there party dress, a tie for your dad or a quick-grab hostess gift, a walk down Wells Street has got you covered. We like to start at Goethe Street and walk north to start at trendy women's shop Sara Jane and high-end men's haven Haberdash. Continue north and you'll watch Old Town blend right into Lincoln Park, landing at endlessly charming stationery shop Greer and French-inflected jewelry shop Fabrice.
