Great tasteful selection, personal and personable assistance by the owner. Definitely worth a visit!

Quirky and cute! The jewelry selection is what draws me back. It is fun to shop there!

Only had a small section of real vintage clothing. Lots of second hand without much curation and costume jewelry from the 2000s. Some Levi's and western boots. read more

I LOVED this place located in the RiNo district! It is on a really cute street and has fantastic pricing. I've already decided I'm coming back in a month to get a few new outfits!! Great hats, jeans, sunglasses etc! Deborah was the owner she was very nice. Look forward to seeing her again! read more

Common Era - Some cool belts!! - Women's Clothing Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I found some really great pieces at an affordable price at this cute boutique on Platte Street. We had just finished a big brunch at Carbon and wandered over to Common Era to walk off all the food we had just eaten. I didn't intend to buy anything, but there were soooo many cute pieces that it was hard not to get something. They had a good sale going on, so my friend picked up a new dress and a cardigan and I got myself a ring and sunglasses. All their jewelry were from local artists, so I was happy to buy a ring and support a local designer. The shop is aesthetically pleasing and quite spacious. There are plenty of windows to let in natural lighting. I really dislike when I'm shopping and I feel anxious with how disorganized and overwhelming a store is (think Forever 21), but I felt relaxed while walking through this boutique. If I lived in Denver, I could see this spot being one of my regular clothing boutiques. read more

Common Era - Women's Clothing Near Me - Denver, Colorado

See all

Honestly did not realize how negative my interactions were with (who I assume is) the owner until I left and thought about it. She noticed I was trying on sunglasses and offered to give me opinions. Instead of simply saying "oh I like those better on you" about a round pair, she proceeded to point out that I shouldn't get square glasses because I have "THAT chin" while making a gesture (whatever that means) and they "weren't doing me any favors". She also kept going on about it after, saying "squares do not like you"...like okay lady, I get it. You clearly think I'm ugly (not something I get often...or ever). I didn't really go in there expecting to get my looks insulted by anyone, but especially not by a seemingly sweet looking older woman. It's a shame because it's a very cute boutique, but I will not be returning or supporting this business in any way. read more

i love this place so much the clothes are cute and not expensive and the worker was so nice

I come in here all the time! They have the cutest clothes. As a midsize gal, I can never find pants that fit and after occasionally stopping in the past few years, I'm pretty sure 99% my jeans/dress pants are from this store. Lexi is usually there on weekdays and is legit the sweetest human... She is always helpful and never pushy about buying anything. By far my favorite boutique in Denver! read more

You know how the hot fashion right now is to wear leggings with basically an apron or a maternity looking dress? Basically just imagine Strawberry Shortcake (I've included a picture). Strawberry Shortcake's outfits were cute when you were watching her on TV back in the day, then the same fashion motif was cute again when Hello Kitty was popular, and now for some reason the same style has come back and people call it "hip," and they get sold on the idea that they look artsy and sexy. The frilly flowered and retro lined dress/aprons are sold at Common Era, and although it sounds like I am making fun of the place, the truth is I rather think the dresses and shirts are kind of cute and I just want to see what you think... You know, before I actually have to wear a dress over my spandex leggings that covers up my bum. * Star one for a stellar location right on Platte street ** Open up that wallet star two is for the affordable prices *** Sale wonderful sale star three is for the couple of racks with great sale items **** Strike it up star four is for what looks like bowling bags, which I guess look good with aprons and maternity dresses and spandex leggings read more

Today I found myself in common era! Jazz music played over the speakers while I tried on high waisted pants making me feel like I was shopping in France. The owner helped me pick out pairs by providing more styles and colors to try on. She had amazing silver hair. I was looking for work pants and ended up leaving with three pairs! The pricing was really appropriate! None of the pants cost over 42 dollars. My girlfriend bought some cute ruby earrings and a ring. I will visit again! read more

This place is great. I just stopped in for a quick look today. The whole place is full of stylish accessories, handbags, and clothes. They even have a few pairs of shoes in the back. Unfortunately I didn't find anything I had to have! However, it was not this little place that was in the wrong, as they offered me a million different selections of attire. Everything was unique and trendy. I will be back. read more

Common Era is one of my favorite vintage boutiques in Denver, which is why I decided to write a little piece up about them. There are a lot of rad thrift stores in Denver, which range from cheap to expensive - Buffalo Exchange, Goldmine Vintage, etc. Tons of vintage up in RiNo as well. I'd say this store falls somewhere on the moderate end of the scale. The stuff in here isn't cheap necessarily, but it also isn't going to completely break the bank. Depends on what item you're looking at specifically. This place has clothing jewelry, hats, bags, lingerie, shoes, scarfs, bowls, sunglasses... the list goes on. I found the cutest little ballet skirt on the rack when I walked in here. They also have great one piece jumpsuits if you're looking to add one to your collection. Their jewelry is really affordable - there is a shelf for $15 earrings, but also one for $5 earrings, of course of which I snagged the latter. I also ended up buying this unbelievably comfy burgundy coat. It's kind of outrageous 70s style but its literally like wearing a robe, its the coziest thing you've ever worn. So obviously I had to buy it once I had put it on. They also have a dope sale rack in the back for those really trying to thrift. The stuff on the rack is still high quality though. This is in the LoDo area off of 15th and Platte River Drive. Again, definitely a hard place to park, so keep that in mind. If you're in the area though, it's a great store, so definitely check it out if or when you ever get the chance and are in the area! The shop owner is super nice as well, so if you have a second, feel free to snag her and just get to know her a bit. read more

Great selection of clothing in all size ranges. Lots of accessories to choose from. Customer service was excellent and prices are very reasonable. read more

Common Era is the reason I love to shop local. The owner of this place is amazing.. even during these crazy times she's doing personal styling over the phone and has upped her insta game.. not to mention every time I come into the store I find a one of a kind item I can't live without.. cannot wait for you to reopen! Stay healthy and stay strong read more

I tried on 5 items and all were ill-fitting. Size mediums are mostly not true to size. One dress was discounted with a marking on the tag that said "back of dress sewn on incorrectly." The hemming was sewn backward. The worker there suggested a dress for me to wear and I feel too awkward to tell her no so I threw it in the dressing room and tried it on. It was supposed to be a size medium but it hung on me like a size XL. They have some cute jewelry for around $20-$30 per piece. They sell Seychelles shoes and accessories like wallets and purses. I've been to this store twice and think a lot of items look cute but are just sized in a weird way. One dress I tried on was extremely tight on the chest (and I'm flat-cheated) while the rest of the dress fit. read more

Shout out to Common Era and the owner for helping me find some fun, comfortable nursing-friendly dress options for summer! Cute selection of clothes and great customer service. read more

Thank you Tiffany C for introducing me to this personality-packed boutique on Platte street! I've been twice in the past few weeks, as I was totally tempted by the groovy sunglasses, eye-catching jewelry and bags, and of course the clothes. I spent at least an hour in the dressing room at Common Era, although I left empty handed. This is no fault of theirs, as I'm uber critical about how everything looks on me these days. However, rest assured there is plenty to choose from here - a mixture of upscale hipster and classic pieces. Check the back of the store for sale racks, and the last time I was in there were lots of shoes and accessories on sale. This spot is definitely worth a drop in. Note: Dressing rooms are totally spacious - no claustrophobia here! And did I mention, the prices are totally reasonable? read more

I'm a fan of the goods this store has to offer. I enjoy browsing through their racks of clothes that aren't so crammed together that you get sensory overload in 5 minutes and have to either leave or throw down on the stranger who accidentally bumps into you. However, I'm not a fan of the mean mug I got from one of the sales girls. It was quite odd really, I was looking at items on one of the racks and looked up to catch her eyeing me up and down (perhaps I wasn't hip enough to be in the store?) with a disgusted/disapproving smirk. The funniest part was when she noticed I was looking at her, she flashed a big "how's it going" smile to try and cover up the fact that she had just been silently judging me. Oh, they joys of being a female. To summarize: unique items, good sale finds, service isn't up in your face for commission, but at the same time, doesn't have the time to be friendly, as they are too busy with taking themselves seriously. read more

Such a cool shop with a wide variety of reasonably priced clothes. The clothes are certainly indicative of the times, and also showcase a wide variety of styles. Boho chic? She's there. Little house on the prairie? Yep. Serious business meeting girl? There's probably a modest dress for you. There m'a a no return policy, as well as a 'no holding' policy, which kind of irked my shopping heart, but then I realized I had a reason to return! The layout is packed to the brim with clothes and really do feature every body part and style out there, while there jewelry and accessory line is just as impressive. Sure - the staff could stand to be more helpful and friendly, but the prices and variety make the shopping trip fun! read more

Hip, trendy, boho-chic, natural, ladies clothing store. The clothes, shoes and accessories are very cute and doll like. You can find a cocktail attire, date night, work, and everyday clothing here. Shoes are in trend, wedges, low cut boots, platform, and plats. Accessories range from jewelry, purses, handmade fabric wallets, cute pill boxes, hats and hair pins. This small boutique is a mix of Urban Outfitters, Free People, and Anthropologie on a smaller store scale. Sizes range from Small, Medium and Large. No XL sizes. This boutique is one, to stop by and check out! Cute clothes, excellent customer service, new stock every week. Prices are moderate to expensive. Check out their sales rack in the back, you might be surprised to find what you need back there. Reminder: if your short (I'm short, I'm 5'3), the dressing room doors are pretty high, so be careful changing, don't bend down too much, you don't want a free show, yikes!!! read more

Very cute clothes for an affordable price. Amazing customer service, as well. Definitely recommend!

I do most of my shopping at vintage and thrift stores because I don't like wearing the same thing as the girl sitting next to me on the bus. But, Common Era has a lot of really unique stuff and not too many of each size/style. Now normally that would mean prices that I don't want to pay, but Common Era somehow manages to stay reasonable. They have tons of cool earrings, purses and clothes, as well as some shoes and other various accessories. Plus their sale racks are usually pretty good. If you can get to them early that is. And as the icing on the cake, it's in a great neighborhood on Platte street so after you're done shopping you can grab pizza at Proto's, burgers at Brother's or something healthier at one of the little neighborhood shops. read more

I rarely step into boutiques because I'm a bargain kinda girl. I fail to see what I'll achieve by spending more than a $100 for a trendy piece of clothing I can't wear next year. BUT I love Common Era. It has very cute and trendy pieces at really affordable prices. The quality isn't top notch, but I really don't care about that for trendy pieces. They have brands like Tulle that are hard to find elsewhere. According to one of the workers, they switch out their clothes about once a month. I wouldn't frequent it more than that. Good sales racks too, but the good stuff goes really quick. To me, it's the closest thing we'll get to an H&M in Denver. read more

Easy to navigate store on Platte St. (just a bit east of 15th and Platte and across the street from Vitamin Cottage). Any Denver female would be amazed with the selection of cute, reasonably priced clothing. Instead of going to the mall for another run-of-the-mill cocktail/ party/ club dress, stop in here for a unique (and cheaper) quality dress. The employee working there was nice, but left me alone to shop freely, which I like. Most items were $20-40, which I can get on board with. Everything was well organized and easy to browse. Common Era also has a small selection of shoes in the back of the store with brands I've never seen in stores (like Seychelles). The jewelry is one of a kind, and every pair of earrings was $10 or less, which is a great deal for unique, long lasting jewels. You'll definitely have people asking you where you got your clothes (I always lie when people ask me that question, but that's just me). Another fact worth mentioning is that this is the little store; the big store is up in Boulder, so if you can't find anything you like here, drive or take the bus up to B-town for some amazing clothing. read more

WOWZA! Thanks to all those yelper's out there. Finally got to get out of the apartment and venture out to some of those great places I have book marked. This place has great clothes, gloves, purses, jeans, and did I mention the jewelry - AMAAAAZING!! The staff was great and very helpful. Once I started a collection of garments a king woman started a dressing room for me. I ended up walking out with two super unique and one-of-a-kind tops and a pair of earrings. The jewelry was all soo different. I loved the variety and the fact that no one else will have a pair of earrings like mine. That may make me selfish - but who cares, I want it and I don't want anyone else to have it!! LOL. Go check this place out. Prices are totally reasonable at $5-$15 for earrings, $20-$40 for nice tops, and can go up from there depending on the purchase. Let the yelping continue... read more

OooooOOO DANGER. I almost did not go into this place because it LOOKED as though it was out of my non-profit-slave budget. But lo and behold, I went in to find that not only were things within my price range (super unique jewelry for $5-$12) but that the things in there were.... ridiculously.... cute. They have dresses that are unlike anything you'd find anywhere else, for $40! And trendy sunglasses for the reasonable, intuitive price of $12. Their purses, clutches, and shoes were also very solid. Now, with Buffalo Exchange charging the same price for USED goods, I think it's worth your time to head over here and get something both pretty, affordable, and new. Plus, they're local! They also allowed my dog to come in, which I love. Dog likes purses. read more

What a wonderful shopping experience! I told the owner about how I recently lost 45lbs, and had to buy a lot of new clothes, but was still hesitant about a lot of things (i.e. shorts). I left the store with multiple pairs of shorts, a leather skirt and feeling absolutely gorgeous!! She made sure that I knew that I look stunning, and have the right to show it off. The prices are so reasonable, far below what I would expect to pay, or usually pay, for similar items. Common Era made my vacation, Thank You! read more

Common Era was my go to this year for Xmas gifts. They have so many unique and affordable jewelry pieces that were perfect for the ladies in my life. They are also more than happy to wrap up your gifts in festive tissue paper and a cute box. I somehow resisted grabbing dresses and sweaters for myself and went home with just my gifts. Then on Xmas eve I was frantically searching through my closet for a pleasing outfit, but there was nothing to be found. I know, such a cliche female dilemma. To my surprise I discovered a blouse that I purchased at Common Era last year. I had completely forgotten about it, but it turned out to be half of the the perfect outfit for that night. Thanks for coming to the rescue CE! read more

Common Era is a cute litte boutique in a nice strip of shopping and eating so it's a great place for holiday shopping or an afternoon with the girls. I usually find something, whether it's one of those hooks you can attach to a table to hang your purse on or an outfit to go with your new purse. They feature work from local artisans and hand-pick interesting items from all over this fabulous world we live in. read more

I'm kind of surprised CE only has 4 stars on average! I'm a longtime customer, and it's my go-to place for (1) presents for female friends and family - they have a staggering collection of really stylish jewelry and accessories in all price ranges (including lots of $5 rings and earrings!) and (2) non-boring professional clothes. The only danger is that it's hard to go in and not wind up spending money. Besides clothing and jewelry, they carry a decent selection of Seychelles shoes, a lot of nice slips, and colorful tights - kind of a lot for such a little boutique. The stock changes over really quickly. The clothing is appropriate for a lot of ages; my mom and my younger sister have an equally good time trying stuff on when I take them there. Finally - several times I've been in while the owner was giving personal shopping advice by appointment - and I always think she does a good job. And, I have not had any bad customer service experiences in several years of visiting regularly - my experience is usually that someone offers to start me a fitting room, offers to get sizes, and if I ask for help picking out a particular type of item, is super happy to do so. read more

The service can be a hit or miss. I walked in a few days ago with a friend and was surprised that the woman was friendly. The last few times I've been there, I've had to deal with the unfriendly, snooty girls. I do like the jewelry and shoes and have found some great pieces. Love my two sequin skirts and silk top. read more

Dear Lovers, Common Era is confined within the boundaries of an adorable strip of small shops. After an endearing lunch, I suggest you take your date to Common Era to swoop up something cute. The store offers an array of items from clothing to jewelery. The prices are reasonable- for example, my beau bought me a pair of earrings that were $14, and they are my most complimented accessory. Common Era is a great place for some simple yet spoiled shopping--for yourself or the one you adore. Check it out! read more

Dropped by this cute little shop over the weekend while walking through the Highlands on a recent trip to Denver. Great selection of cute, unique, and on-trend dresses, tops and bottoms. They do a great job of putting outfits together too to give you some inspiration. Prices were very reasonable (most between $20-$50) and the quality seemed solid too. I ended up getting a really unique printed summer dress for $40. Large sale section in the back of the store. Wasn't as impressed with the jewelry selection while I was in (lots of large, ultra-sparkly , but they did have some cute accessories such as printed scarves, sunglasses, trendy hats and headbands. Small selection of cute shoes from lesser known brands as well as some from Seychelles. Would be great if they added a chair for seating. My husband was waiting around for me as I looked around and tried stuff on in the dressing room; would have been great to have a place for him to sit. Overall, great little shop and friendly customer service. Great find while on vacation - stop in if in the area! read more

I stumbled into this shop the other day when I was out walking with a friend and found really cute, super affordable jewelry and clothes. The girls behind the counter were crafting (a big plus in my book) but were available to help when we needed it. Good thing I'm on a clothes diet right now because I could go crazy in this shop! read more

The stylists are always on point. Always pick out adorable outfits that are catered to my style and at a really affordable price. They send me the correct size from the other location in Boulder and make sure I walk out with a lot of quality products I am happy about. Very accommodating for size exchanges and returns. Love love love this store. read more

Love it! Stopped in to look for a holiday party dress after the object of my affection at Anthropologie turned out to be a ghost costume disguised as a party dress. But Common Era came through with several great choices. The one I ended up with I almost missed but that out of the corner of my eye I glimpsed it. Hello, new lover. Bring on the mistle toe cause this little number is that cute. read more

Common Era has inexpensive clothing and it is nice to be able to find a dress or jeans for under $35. They do have allot of accessories and shoes as well. However, they have TERRIBLE customer service. It is almost as though they don't want you to shop and spend money in their store. I'll run in there if I need something last minute. But I would rather go somewhere I feel wanted!! read more

I've been in to his boutique a few times and love their clothes! It's a little out of my price range but I usually check out their sale section Friendly staff! read more

Extremely reasonable prices and a great selection of trendy pieces. They have a fantastic selection of purses, shoes and accessories as well. I come here pretty often cause I can get a bunch of great pieces without breaking my budget. My only complaint is the clothes are sometimes not of the quality you would find at more expensive boutiques, but who cares? I can get like 5 pieces of clothing for the price of 1 at those expensive places. The sales girls are a bit flighty and are sometime out talking on their cell phones instead of assisting you, but eh, I don't care, I don't like to be bothered when I shop anyway. Go here, there is something for everybody, even those on a tight budget read more

The owner of this place is unbelievable. I bought a dress and when I went to pay she requested to see my photo ID. That would have been perfectly fine, however she decided to fully interrogate me about my identification (a standard CO drivers license) and went on to question my signature and embarrass me about why the signatures on my credit card wasn't 100% identical to what I signed on the curled up receipt that I was given. What began as a perfectly nice shopping experience ended up as a very uncomfortable and uncalled for situation. So much for customer service... read more
