The Tannery
Why locals love it
Massachusetts natives aren't always the most well-known for fashion, given the preppy-meets-practical-meets-frumpy vibe of the cities patrons. But the university influence of other East Coast and international cities, there are some good shops that achieve a higher order of chic; The Tannery is one such shop (locations in Harvard Sq and Back Bay).
Why you should visit it
Whether you're looking for great seasonal shoes, great sales on off season shoes, or to snag an ever-trendy Canada Goose coat for a 96 inches of snow winter, The Tannery has something for you. Many of the brands are upscale, such as Frye and Tory Burch. They do carry brands that cross many levels of dress, from heels to snow boots.
Special tip
They always have good sales, especially at the Tannery Outlet.
