Downtown Iowa City has an array of boutiques that would satisfy the needs of any fashionista. However, no one knows the latest trends and styles better than Catherine’s Boutique of Iowa City. 

Whether you’re looking for the perfect pair of salmon colored jeans or that sophisticated sheer top you know will impress any audience, Catherine’s has it all and much, much more. With designers ranging from Eileen Fisher to French Connection, Splendid to BCBG, you’re sure to find the exact style or trend you’ve been dying to try.

Owner of the boutique, Catherine Champion says that this Spring, coral and peach are all the rage and most customers come in looking for a piece of clothing in any of these shades, especially colored jeans. If you can’t see yourself wearing anything in that color palette, Champion says to try anything with color. One of her favorite looks is what the fashion world calls monochromatic – a.k.a. – ALL ONE COLOR. This is one of the latest trends of 2012 and although it may sound daring, wearing the same color from head to toe will have you radiating with confidence. 

Catherine’s is located on South Dubuque Street in the heart of Downtown Iowa City.
