Shop the Looks

Editor’s note: This spread was photographed in January, so some of the items listed may no longer be available. That said, these shops are still reliable sources for iconic work looks.

Ampersand as Apostrophe

Designer Jessica Park has moved from the C–ID to NYC—but carrying her joyful, high-quality handbags, wallets, and duffels will always feel like supporting local in our book.

Burnt Sugar Fremont

A gifty store full of treasures, from Jonathan Adler candles to cannabis cookbooks.

Camper 

This playfully experimental (and relatively affordable) footwear is available at Nordstrom, but swing by the dedicated Bellevue Square boutique for more options and some one-on-one time with a brand expert.

Daisy Chains

Unbelievably lightweight and adorable Y2K-inspired jewelry—earrings, chokers, glasses chains—from NYC-based artist Bonnie Robbins. Look out for an Etsy restock April 1. Until then, find these online at Café Forgot or Kathleen.

Faris Capitol Hill

Seattle has no shortage of locally made jewelry. Faris Du Graf elevates it to an art.

Glasswing Capitol Hill

Perhaps the most serene of Seattle’s boutiques, Glasswing is all earth tones, canvas, and greenery—outfit yourself in wear-forever pieces from designers like Jesse Kamm and AK Studio while you outfit your home garden (it’s also a plant shop).

Maiden Noir C–ID

Local designer Nin Truong launched the streetwear-ready label that splits time between Seattle and Tokyo in 2005.

Nordstrom

It’s easy to forget that one of the country’s most successful department stores has local roots—Nordstrom started out as a downtown Seattle shoe shop in 1901.

Nordstrom Rack

The first Nordstrom Rack opened in the basement of Seattle’s downtown Nordstrom in 1973.

Pipe and Row Fremont

If you can stop your head from swiveling (Vintage rack! Dad hats! Wall full of socks!) long enough to browse in earnest, you’ll find a wealth of on-trend designers—Paloma Wool, Intentionally Blank—in this well-stocked boutique owned and founded by Seattle-area fashion maven Kayla Gil.

Prairie Underground Georgetown

Sustainable clothing made in Seattle by a small-but-mighty team.

Prism Ballard

It’s a fitting name for a boutique that brings a much-needed dose of color to a city of blues and grays. But don’t mistake playfulness for trend-chasing. From Girlfriend Collective’s brightest leggings to Body Double’s big squiggly earrings to object-driven home decor, this woman-owned shop makes the case for statement pieces that cut through the gloom.

Sassafras Belltown

A tiny shop packed with local fashions—including pieces from La Macón and Other People’s Polyester, who work in the expansive downtown studio.
