Store's like Belk, Express, Macy's, and Nordstrom offer an array of clothing from lounging wear to pajamas to cocktail dresses. There also are Bloomingdale's and Bon-Ton along with numerous other department stores.

If you mostly dress work casual, spending time at stores like these are just your cup of tea. They have what you want in an array of colors and at decent prices. They also carry evening and cocktail dresses, which are affordable, but the selection is not as high.

If you are looking for the perfect dress for a special night, check out Saks 5th Avenue. It's a great store to buy a fine party dress. It may be a little on the pricey side, but you are paying for the designer name.

If you're looking for a unique work suit or cocktail dress, check out designer run-way shows. They show everything from bathing suits to wedding gowns. On the other hand, if you aren't willing to spend that much on an outfit, check out our top 10 summer designer list. It gives you options to splurge or save.

Work casual or high fashion there is a store out there for everybody. Convenience is the key. Consumers like to shop at stores that offer one-stop shopping.
