Standout Features

• Designer lines by the likes of Vera Wang and Lauren Conrad
• Well-stocked plus-size section
• Large variety of athletic-inspired clothing
• My Kohl’s Charge card

We all knows that stores like Kohl’s sell the full gamut of women’s clothing—from skirts and shoes to jeans and jackets—like any well-stocked department store should. But did you also know that Kohl’s sells specialty designer lines? With well known names and brands like SimplyVera by Vera Wang (Wang‘s first foray into everyday wear), LC Lauren Conrad, Elle Contemporary Collection and Dana Buchman, shoppers can meet both their budgetary and fashionista needs.

Kohl’s offers a wide variety of specialty sizes with a focus on women’s plus. In addition to their expansive plus size section, they also offer a nice array of petites clothing. Several of their designers/brands offer petite garments as well, including Apt. 9 and Daisy Fuentes. Their shoe section also includes specialty sizes, with Kohl’s selling both wide and narrow width shoes. The only drawback in this area: their surprising lack of tall clothing.

Kohl’s is also known for their comprehensive plus size section with sizes up to 26W. They sell plus size garments in every item category and even two of their designer lines—Elle and Dana Buchman—offer plus size garments as well.

Another feature that makes Kohl’s stand out is their high number of athletic brands and athletic-inspired categories. From Adidas and Champion to Danskin, Kohl’s sells the perfect outfit for your morning run (with categories like Sets & Warm-Ups) to your weekly yoga class. Kohl’s also sells a wide variety of sports bras and specialized performance apparel.

My Kohl’s Charge is Kohls’ store credit card and it offers even further savings (15 - 30%) on sale and clearance items with extra discounts on everything you buy twelve times a year. You also get 10% off your first order when you apply for a My Kohl’s Charge.

Kohl’s offers 20+ categories (and that doesn’t even count sub-categories). From Handbags & Wallets, Shorts & Capris, Sleepwear & Robes, Socks & Hosiery to Pants & Jeans, Kohl’s makes sure they sell every type of garment their shoppers may be looking for. If you further explore each category, say Coats for example, you will find an even more varied inventory with detailed sub-categories such as Active & Down, Faux Suede, Leather, Lightweight & Fleece, Raincoats, Wool, Parkas and Vests.
