Beautiful clothing and very unique pieces. The peacoat I purchased here has become a staple in my closet. Things definitely do have to be staples if you buy them here because they ain't cheap, but for the quality of material and tailoring of most of the pieces the prices are fair. What I think really sets boutiques apart from less expensive retail stores is detailing and tailoring. In both these departments, Una Mae's excels. The fit of their clothing is exquisite. Down to every last button, the details are interesting. Most of all, they have a sense of surprise in their clothing, which definitely pushes them up into the five-star range. A little pop of unexpected color or a sparkle that only shows up when it catches the light - these are the ingredients to a spectacular wardrobe. One standout piece from a place like this can be a wonderful weapon to add to an arsenal of basics. read more

Really really cool store! Went in here with my fiance last weekend, no particular reason other than we always walk by it when in Wicker. Love the setup of the store, and just the different types of clothing in there. My fiance found a really neat dress that she liked, and actually reasonable pricing as well. We'll definitely be back. read more

I absolutely adore this shop. I used to manage a store down the street and would check in this store at the start of every season for great, stylish, off-beat pieces to accentuate my wardrobe. Now I live in Omaha and make sure this store is always on my list of places to go when I return. The feel of the place is warm and homey, with lots of accents the give the inside of the store a wonderful appeal for me. It is definitely eclectic in its decor, and feels like the kind of place Free People (down the street) is trying to be. When I walked in for the first time, the decor made me think for sure there would be nothing I could afford. I resigned myself to doing what I do at Marc Jacobs (around the corner), which is look lovingly at the beautiful clothes and leaving with nothing. However, I started to actually look at the clothes, and their prices. Hold up! I can afford some of it! While certainly there were things out of my price range, there were also many wonderful things IN my price range as well! Hurray! The owner/buyer of Una Mae's has a fantastic eye for cut and color, and also for selecting things that you won't find on the racks of the boutiques in the neighboring stores. And that's a very good thing. You've got Urban Outfitters, Levi's, Free People, We the Free, etc etc right on top of each other, and this little boutique is like a breath of fresh stylish air amidst so many corporate giants. A little note, the store used to be several blocks further southwest towards Ashland, but has moved to a prime location just about a block south of the Milwaukee/Damen/North intersection. read more

Great clothes, great mix of new/vintage/recylced pieces and all for a really great price. But why sell the mom jeans? I was walking around and came across a table of jeans for $20. Doing a little dance, I grab a pair and head to the dressing room. Too bad they came up to my belly button, had room enough in the ass and thighs, tight in the ankles and looked like I was gearing towards a flood. Maybe that is why they were $20, no one wanted them. But the rest of the stuff makes up for it. Very cute and kitschy but in a fun way. Looks like a great boutique, sells like a salvation army= awesome Una Mae's, plain awesome. read more

This place certainly has character and they have a closet dedicated to purses. read more

Una Mae's - Women's Clothing Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

I'm not a fashion connoisseur, but I feel like one when I shop at Una Mae's. This is one of the better Chicago boutique's in terms of options for men and women. Una Mae's isn't the cheapest spot on the block, but they have a ton of high quality options that aren't readily available in other stores, even in Chicago. Thus far, this is my favorite men's clothing store in Chicago, let alone Wicker Park. Definitely give this place a shot if you're in the neighborhood! read more

This stretch of Milwaukee has really developed a nice little row of unique clothing boutiques for both men and women. A mix of old and new stuff, very tasteful and fashionable, between this shop and about five others, an hour of powershopping is guaranteed to reap results. read more

Una Mae's - Women's Clothing Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love Una Mae and her minions. She has unique, fun things. I love to dance in front of the mirror and try on the hats. I wish I could afford everything I wanted. The missing two stars is because don't think the store is appropriately defined as freaky or thirfty. But it is a fun place to hang out. read more

My favorite affordable boutique in Chicago. What does affordable mean? It means you can find tops for btw $16-$50 all over the store. Why is it my favorite, because the owner has amazing taste and Nancy, the owner, curates some of the best pieces from great fashion lines like, YA, Gentle Fawn, Tulle, Lucca and Very J. If you like Boho California chic with a little simple line modernism thrown you will love Nancy's picks for the store. BTW I've been shopping there for what i think is a decade and love to help support a long standing business in the ever changing and ever shifty Wicker Park neighborhood. read more

I don't really get the name because there's absolutely nothing freakish about it. But, whatever. The selection's pretty decent, lots of perty dresses! But, pricey! Their new stuff is even worse money-wise, like $50 for a goddamn sleeveless tee. But check it out. You'll probably find something both awesome and affordable if you look. I have. Plus, the people who work there are nice. Kinda cute, too. read more

Excellent buyers in this store- perfect if you want to look polished but right on trend. And I mean classical trend. Think classic basics in different colours, fabrics, smells. If you're looking for individual pieces, you've got it. I mean- they've got it! read more

I love their product selection here- it's an urban outfitters meets Anthropologie feel, which way more unique pieces and a boutique-y vibe. They carry great brands such as Dear Creatures and RGB nail polish, all at prices that are reasonable to the product quality. Their men's grooming products are great- I always get their Juniper Ridge and Baxter products for my boyfriend. The service is about as expected for the area, a quick hello from behind the register is about all you get unless your purchasing. I would love to give them five stars, but the music could not be any worse. It's always some sort of rap/hip hop mix and most of the time the lyrics are pretty ridiculous. I wish they would take a step back and see the music does not fit with the atmosphere they were trying to create, every time I walk out it makes me roll my eyes. read more

This is my favorite boutique in Chicago, I never leave empty handed. The main floor is new men's and women's clothing with some apothecary type stuff as well. There is a little spiral staircase that takes you up to the sale section and another staircase that goes down to the vintage items. Everything is so well curated and the pieces are always really well picked. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I have been eyeing a pair of boots there for over a year now that has been just a tad out of my price range, I went this past weekend and the last pair they had was in my size. Nancy, the owner made it happen for me and gave me a little "last pair in stock" discount that made my year! Thank you Nancy! Come spend all of your money hear, you will not regret it! read more

Cool store, great prices...4 employees and not one can greet you when you walk in. Wouldn't spend a dime where I am not welcome!!!

Overpriced clothing. They also have Virgin Mary figurines and Hispanic religious candles as decorations which is totally disrespectful. I bet half of the workers and customers have no idea who the Virgin Mary is or what those candles are for. Take them down, you already contributed to gentrifying wicker park read more

The worst customer service I've ever had! Super long story short I bought a watch from them off their website... a $300 purchase... and they sent me the wrong watch! I called them and explained they mailed me the wrong one and the told me No... I was wrong and HUNG UP ON ME!!! Like a 12 year old child throwing a fit this women hung up on a customer! I will NEVER buy from them again and highly discourage anyone else from doing so either! :( read more

Wow, the new store is amazing. I'm still having images in my head of the wonderful clothes, ambiance and general beauty of the new relocation. Unique clothes, less of the vintage and more new items (I do miss the vintage) and plenty of crafty gifts make it difficult to buy for friends and more for my exploding closet. My new favorite Wicker Park/Bucktown boutique. It was always my favorite, but now its like that something "extra" that makes your shopping experience so much more. read more

I usually need to be escorted out of this place by my shopping buddy to keep me from blowing my entire paycheck in one fell swoop. God deamn, though! Such a cool selection. The store is very wee, but it's chock full of great stuff and on my last visit the two ladies working the counter were wonderful. My roomie and I bought a lamp, a t-shirt, a dress and a pair of earrings. Everything is very unique and I guarantee someone will compliment you on it. Prices are reasonable for a boutique - really. read more

I love Una Mae's, I really do feel like it's just a timeless Chicago shopping staple. I loved it a couple years ago when they were making all the good vintage longsleeve shirts into much better short sleeve shirts. I always have to do this at home, so I loved that we were sharing a mind and they were helping out my cause. They always have cute friendly sales people. But, honestly whats with this remodel!? I know some people will like it. But, I personally preferred to feel like I was in a cozy vintage filled womb. You can keep your remodel if you promise to meet me half way, and change your name to Vintage Cozy Womb? read more

LOVE! everything about it. i loved it back when it was "una mae's freak boutique" but now they have an even bigger space with an upstairs with awesome furniture and knick-knacks that i always wanna buy. Ive bought two faux fur jackets here that i dont think i will ever get rid of(maybe ill pass them down to a daughter or something?) and their jewlery display cases make me crazy cuz i wanna buy everything! you can tell that the owner actually cares about her store and how it looks, the displays are pretty perfect. I think she puts a lot of thought into what clothing she orders and goes out of her way to get great vintage peices and i totally appreciate that. This place has a customer for life and im also gonna say that i actually enjoy the way this place smells.... nag champa all day. :) read more

Great staff and distinctive clothing at fair prices. Plus for their anniversary... free revolutionary brewing beer.

The staff was very nice and accommodating. I am also pleased that most of their stuff doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Love this place! I get most of my clothes here. Great jewelry and stuff for men as well. Wicker Park shopping staple most definitely...actually this is the only place I shop at in Wicker Park anymore. read more

Such an adorable boutique in the center of wicker park! The vibe is rustic desert sheek. I love to come here and browse their upstairs sale section! They always have something new, unique, and fashionable up there! The owner is really friendly as well! read more

Una Mae's has some very nice vintage things but usually I feel like it's more akin to the Urban Renewal section of Urban Outfitters than a thrift store. Maybe I'd try to look for some lower priced designer jeans here or some accessories but for vintage I'll stick to places like Unique where I just found a 100% cashmere turtleneck for $3. read more

I love this eccentric boutique. Some of the clothes are overpriced but you can find some original styles and accessories. YOu can defintely get lost in looking through the clothes and accessories. read more

Best shop and service in the area:) The owner makes a real effort to sell affordable new hip clothes in addition to a great selection of vintage pieces. read more

I absolutely love this store! Every time I go in, I cannot leave empty handed. The staff is amazing, they give you space, but as soon as you need something they are as helpful and friendly as can be! Every single item I have bought here has earned me many compliments each time I wear it. I love the fact that every time I buy something from here, I know that none of my friends will have it! read more

This is such a unique location, and I adore the eccentric atmosphere. The visitors I've brought have all found something to enjoy about this place. In addition to the new apparel for men and women on the main floor, there is apothecary-type merchandise here as well. To get to the sale and vintage sections, there is a spiral staircase that goes up and another staircase that goes down. Items from different eras appear to be of a greater grade. They appear to have been carefully selected, too. If you're looking for high-quality vintage stuff, you won't be disappointed by the costs. Items from clothing and accessories to household goods can be found at this store's diverse selection. When we visited, they only had a small selection of items, so I'm hoping they'll be able to expand it in the near future. However, I was able to purchase some high-quality clothing from this store, so I would recommend it. read more

Una Mae's is as good as it gets with regard to Wicker Park shopping. They have a really well curated selection of men's, women's, sundries, and vintage. Sales folks are friendly and know what they're talking about. Their offerings range in price point so there's something for everyone. Best candles in town too. read more

Two stars for original jewelry and friendly guy working. However, I've heard for years that this was a good place for vintage. I knew beforehand there was a section for modern clothing now too but should have mentioned there were only 4 racks for crap polyester vintage. So disappointing. You need to find better buyers to scour the thrift stores and estate sales. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. read more

I have purchased numerous items from Una Mae's and I always get compliments. I don't find it expensive at all but I rarely purchase the vintage clothes so I couldn't compare/contrast that. I do believe their non-vintage items are very reasonable. SIDE NOTE: I don't indulge in retail therapy so when I shop it is because I need something and I want that particular item to last. If somebody shops to shop, then maybe dropping $40 on a T-shirt would seem expensive but for me, one adorable and well designed $40 T-shirt that will last 5 or more years with weekly use is a bargain. Especially if a $8 T-shirt from H&M will barely last a summer without shrinking or stretching out. I know I am never disappointed and always walk away with a new item where somebody will inevitably ask "How cute! Where did you get that sweater/shirt/jacket!" And I always respond -- "Una Mae's of course!" read more

I like incense. Alot. Una Mae's, a local neighborhood institution for way longer than most can remember always seems to have the scent of it billowing out of its open doors. While I'm not up on alot of what they have, the lady found a pair of dresses which fit her quite well. The first one was a nice vintage piece which has become a favorite while the other has a more up to date flair which I've since dubbed the 'Rachel Berry' due to its similarity to what the character of Glee fame is often seen wearing from week to week on tv (or Hulu if yr hip to having thrown out the rabbit ears on the tv set years ago). While pricey with many of their pieces, they have equally affordable prices on just as many others. All in all, a great spot. read more

This is the kind of place where you can find just one versatile piece to stretch. Everything in this store you can mix with what you have and create endless looks. The awesome array of ten dollar earrings are always a lure and get me compliments all the time. read more

Very cute place and lots of nice pieces and bric-a-brac. Staff was supportive and informative, without being overbearing. Enjoyable shopping experience. read more

This place has sort of a weird vibe (once I went it and it was SO DARK that I could barely make out the color of the clothes) but they carry a lot of cute styles. The best thing about this store is they have reasonably priced options - the tulle line that they carry a lot of is mostly under $50. It's not a peppy friendly store but I prefer not to be bugged by pushy staff when I shop anyway. It's actually one of my few stops on milwaukee as I'm not a big used/vintage fan (they do have some vintage here but its largely new). read more

Obviously the "vintage" core of Una Mae's is gone. I haven't been there in a few years and WOW, what a letdown. I was stunned to see what's happened to this great, eclectic, non-pretentious little vintage shop. Gone are the affordable prices and the humor of the clothing and the staff. It's like so many other businesses in this gentrific neighborhood. read more

I love the price & the style, but the quality can be slightly questionable. i recently bought an (apparently) see through black dress here. You didn't really know it was see through until a photo was taken--classic red carpet faux-pas. I'll try again, though. I did get a lot of compliments on the dress... read more

Been stopping in here for years. They have a more sophisticated eye for what's cool than most of the clothing stores in the neighborhood. The labels you see here are the one's you'll find in the cool boutiques Brooklyn. read more

I totally love this store! They have such great clothing, and jewelry for fairly reasonable prices. Although, I have to say, that the staff is a little strange, and not too helpful. But overall, I recommend this store if you are in need of funky, one of a kind, clothing! read more
