Being a student and dressing well shouldnʼt be mutually
exclusive. Between tuition, housing, books, and maybe a little extracurricular fun, itʼs difficult to find
the leftover cash to sink into your wardrobe. The one thing that will save you and your closet is the school-issued ID card that's already in your wallet (or somewhere on your dorm room floor). That little piece of plastic is your ticket to major discounts all around Chicago. We know you've already got a handle on where to score free and discount grub, so we've taken on the search for student discounts on clothing. Below are stores in Chi that are very nice to undergrads.
