  • Footware by Jimmy Choo and Stuart Wietzman claim the back of the store, while cashmere suits, evening gowns, and luxurious coats rule the racks up front.

  • From a $4,000 John Galliano silk dress to a skimpy camouflage Christian Dior bikini, Alan Bilzerian is the place to go for high-end fashion that exudes personality.

  • Allston Beat

    With everything for club hoppers, glam rockers, and hip-hop revivalists, Allston Beat is the place for clothing and accessories that positively ooze swagger.

  • Autrefois specializes in French and Italian furnishings from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, like Louis XV gilded mirrors, Art Deco dining chairs, and wildly abstract iron sconces.

  • Check your inhibitions at this subterranean boutique’s door. While male anatomy-shaped ketchup dispensers deserve a laugh, some of the sex toys toward the back might sooner merit a wince.

  • This old world-style corner market stocks fabulous produce, chilled beer, ready-made sandwiches, and imported delights of all kinds.

  • For the successful business-man whose daydreams feature a vintage Ferrari and the Sardinian coast, Zegna fits like a glove. Classic Italian suits and ties that are unrivaled for style and quality.

  • True believers in the superiority of hemp as something to put on rather than inhale, Hempest showcases casual and dress duds fashioned from this environmentally-friendly fiber.

  • With its mood crystals, gargoyle statuettes, and witchcraft journals, this rarest of boutiques may hold the ticket to a mythological netherworld, but you will still need cash or plastic to get there.

  • For fashionistas on a budget, this local chain’s flagship store stocks carefully selected, reasonably-priced women’s wear, from the likes of BCBG and Central Park West, and sleek men’s wear, too.
