Your A-List: Best Women’s Clothing Store
Certainly you can get away with wearing jeans and sandals pretty much anywhere in Austin, but that’s no fun. When you’re headed out and about, you wanna look nice, and chances are, if you’re a lady you’ve graced the stores mentioned in this week’s You’re a-List poll for Best Women’s Clothing Store.
This year’s winner in that category is the stylish and sophisticated By George, which took home 19 percent of the vote.
I must admit that I thought By George had only been around for a decade or so, but a little research on the Internet revealed that By George, and owners Katy and Matthew Culmo, have been rocking the designer fashions since 1977.
The By George flagship, which has been named one of the country’s Top Ten Boutiques by Lucky Magazine, is located at 6th Street and Lamar Boulevard and was joined recently by its little, slightly more casual sibling down south on South Congress Avenue. While the two stores have unique feels and merchandise, they both take pride in offering fashion that rises above and beyond trends.
