Glencoe and Winnetka Ranked Among 'Most Fashionable Towns in America'

A study by Bundle concluded that about 16 percent of Glencoe residents and about 14 percent of Winnetka residents have made at least four high-end clothing purchases in the last 30 months.

Glencoe is the second most fashionable town in the U.S. according to a study by Bundle, a business and consumer rating website, and Winnetka is the fourth most fashionable town. (See the full Bundle ratings here.)

The Bundle study, which was first done with major American cities like Chicago and New York, pitted small towns across the country against one another based on the number of households who made "at least four transactions at top-end designer merchants over the past 30 months."

According to the study, 15.95 percent of Glencoe households fell into that "fashion-conscious" category. Newport Coast, Calif., topped the rankings with 16.15 percent. Winnetka households came in at 13.74 percent.
