Hysteria

Best for: Designers you once had to travel to New York to find.

This chandeliered Old Town boutique—once a stop-through for girly brands like Lela Rose—is now a full-fledged fashion destination. The frills are still there, but mixed in are edgier designs from Cacharel, Lauren Moffatt, and Development. One thing hasn’t changed: the friendly, smart service (saleswomen are honest if a piece isn’t flattering) plus perks like personal styling and private appointments.
