Boston shopping hot zone: Harvard Square

Take a break from studying or touring the university, and stop awhile to shop in Harvard Square. More than just a store for vintage clothes and t-shirts with catchy sayings, Urban Outfitters in Harvard Square has become a prime Cambridge shopping destination as well as a social hangout. A few doors down, Mudo has made a name for itself selling designer jeans from the Mavi line. Plus when it comes to sexy shirts and skin-tight pants, Mudo is one of the hottest places in Harvard Square to shop. Some might argue still though that nearby Jasmine Sola remains the better destination to buy designer duds. Cap off your shopping experience at the Harvard Coop where you'll find bountiful books as well as gear from one of America's greatest universities.
