People who have never been to this city are under the impression that being fashionable in Calgary means having the nicest cowboy boots and tightest Wranglers. And at certain times of the year, they’re not wrong. But the reality is, Calgary’s a fashionable city. Countless Calgarians have closets jam-packed with the latest pieces from the world’s top designers, and when their closets fill up, they unload their gently used garments on consignment stores. And we’re not complaining. Peruse the racks in any of these stores and you’re bound to find severely discounted, high-end designer fashions.
