I loathe shopping in person, but I need to get offline and actually try stuff on. What are some favorite shops in Chicago for quality, unique, fun women's clothing stores that are not fast fashion, not just basics and not overpriced?

TL;DR: As I hate shopping, I prefer high-quality brands that last (and those with climate commitments) such as Boden, Everlane, Madewell, Sezane, etc. I’m in my 40s and I feel like every local boutique I’ve been into has fast-fashion options for either much younger or much older people. Advice on where I can find similar quality brands at places that are locally owned?
