Goods: Men’s apparel, shoes and accessories. Designers: Michael Westley, Rivet de Cru, X-Ray Denim, Civil Society and Report Collection. Owners: Willie Davis and Stephen Thurston opened their South Loop men’s boutique in September. Vibe: Hip. Smooth R&B beats croon through the speakers of the loud red interior. Price Range: Moderate-Expensive. The Look: Polished and funky–guys can dress up the collection of crushed blazers, button downs and ties with a nice pair of slacks, or pair them with some premium denim and a beanie for a night on the town. Shopper’s Perks: The locale. As Willie Davis says, “it’s not what we bring to the men’s market, it’s what we bring to the South Loop men’s market.”
