 Get into the groove |

Get out your lava lamps and get ready to give your wardrobe a little retro style. Pick up some of the coolest clothing and accessories around for both guys and girls.

A shelf behind the counter holds hair dyes in all the best colors like baby blue and orange; but beware of your mother's polished white bathroom tiles. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Women's haute couture |
513 8th Avenue Southwest, suite 104 Penny Lane Mall Calgary, AB T2P 1G3 Canada +1 403 269 4775 |
La Chic Ladies Wear is aptly named. Located in the heart of downtown in the Penny Lane Mall, it offers upscale women's fashions and exclusive designer labels. It is haute couture at its finest. La Chic Ladies Wear caters to the business executive woman who doesn't mind spending money on quality clothing. But be prepared. A Donna Karan blazer can set you back USD1500 and a red cocktail dress USD4,000. It offers exclusive designers from Italy and Switzerland like Renzo and Akris so most of these fashions are not available anywhere else in the province. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Authentic military surplus store |
1005 11th St SE Inglewood Calgary, AB T2G 3E9 Canada +1 403 265 1754 |
This shop has been serving Calgarians for close to 50 years and is now a city landmark. Even the rich and powerful drop by: the last time singer/actor/diva Cher was in town she picked up a couple of military flight jackets. This is one of the most authentic military surplus stores in North America with a staff conversant in military memorabilia. Crown offers everything from waterproof matches to footwear and binoculars, and most items are very reasonably priced. Even if you don't buy anything, it makes for great browsing.

Just like a day at the beach |

Clothes for the Entire Family |
3625 Shaganappi Trail North-West Unit C013A, Market Mall Calgary, AB T3A 0E2 Canada +1 403 286 0847 http://www.hm.com/ca/storeloca... |
The Calgary H&M store opened in 2007, 3 years after the success of their first Canadian store in Toronto. Clothes-shopping for the entire family can be done collectively at H&M. Adult, teenage and children's wear for both men and women are all available under one roof. Often clothes-stores with chains have the same designs to offer, but H&M tries to bend that cliché and provide variety in every shop. While a host of dress stores are lined up in the Market Mall, H&M wouldn't be hard to miss. To add to all those pluses, the prices remain extremely reasonable. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Roots began in 1973 selling the shoe that everyone wore for years in high school. The original Roots were a mix between a desert boot and running shoe, and everyone from thirteen years old and onward had a pair. Since that universal start in the early 1970's, Roots has grown and expanded, and now carries sweatshirts, sweatpants, boots and a whole line of comfortable and reasonably priced clothing. There are 5 locations in Calgary, and each location plans to begin selling jeans, cotton shirts and more accessible apparel. Review © 2007, Wcities |
