1st Place: Kohl’s
2nd Place: Savers
3rd Place: JC Penney

Well, that puts the argument to rest – the men of Eau Claire are clearly fashion-conscious, trendy, sharp-looking … we’re sorry, we are laughing too hard to finish that sentence. Seriously, though, Kohl’s (3711 Gateway Dr.) is a great store for clothes shopping – they carry some top-notch brands (Dockers, Sonoma, and many more), everything is on sale all the time, and you can buy every stitch of clothing you would ever need, from suit jackets to underwear. Savers (2833 Mall Dr.), of course, is one of Eau Claire’s premier second-hand clothing stores, where you can also buy everything from suit jackets to, well, underwear, we guess, but that’s up to you. JC Penney (4770 Golf Rd.) tends towards the higher-end clothing shoppers, but we’re still not talking DKNY. So, the men of Eau Claire are in fact spiffy, but in a thrifty sort of way. – Eric Rasmussen
