Royal Oak is a small suburb north of Detroit, but it has a lot to offer in the way of trendy little shops that appeal to teenagers. Since I happen to have a savvy teen in my house, we hit up all the clothing stores downtown has to offer. You don’t have to travel out of the suburbs to find fashion. Here are the best teen outfits in the Royal Force.
Chrome, 117 W 4th Street, 248-399-1689 Chrome has been a downtown fixture for many years. As it is located west of Main Street, Chrome is the center of income and promise. Sure, the outfit is full casual, but it shines best with the festive outfit Chrome. The two guys who own the store are cheerful and go out of their way to provide service. My daughter bought all of her homecoming dresses here, and we go back every year because the quality selections are made and in their class. Be forewarned: their old formal is expensive, so hit yourself with a steel barrier.
