Stay on trend without breaking the bank this season by shopping at Olean’s most affordable and fashion-forward shops.
Maurice’s
If you’re a fashionista who loves all things bohemian, shop until you drop at Maurice’s, a clothing chain located in the Walmart Plaza.
Staying true to their mission, Maurice’s provides stylish clothing for savvy, youthful and fashion-conscious women of all sizes. Although they provide essential pieces for workwear and street style, their most notable features are their bohemian inspired garments, which range from fall dresses, now in stock, to fringed shoes and patterned blouses with bell sleeves.
Kohl’s
Kohl’s is a leading department store, which offers a wide selection of name-brand clothing, homeware, electronics, beauty products and accessories. Located in the Olean Center Mall on North Union Street, the store provides all that it promises and so much more. Their affordable prices make it easy to stay on trend both outside and in your home. Their sales section has the greatest deals. You can find a pair of designer jeans such as Levi’s or Rock & Republic for as low as $10.
Rue21
With a mission to make fashion everyone’s playground, Rue21 is the ideal shop to find trendy pieces for both guys and girls. Located at the Olean Center Mall, this retail gem provides a vibrant and fun atmosphere, as customers shop for affordable pieces. Similar to Kohl’s, not only in location, this shop features a sales and jewelry section with an amazing selection with prices ranging from $2-$10.
St. Vincent de Paul Society
If you’re a bit of an old soul who loves a great deal as much as you love a good hunt for fashion, then you’ll love St. Vincent de Paul Society. From antique home accessories to stylish jackets and gorgeous gowns, the two-story thrift shop located at 441 N. Union Street offers a great selection of affordable items to purchase.
