Depending on the area, Marshall's sells casual and athletic shoes from Adidas, Kenneth Cole, Nike, and Ugg, as well as formal shoes from Coach, Guess, Kate Spade, and Steve Madden. Marshall's stores were originally named for W.G. Marshall, a former owner who had a shoe store in each of his four locations. Today, the chain is owned by K-Mart and operates over 800 stores nationwide. The first Marshall's store was opened in Chicago by William Grant Marshall in 1916. Within two years, there were also stores in Detroit, New York City, and Philadelphia. By 1920, there were more than 100 Marshall's stores across the country. In 1969, K-Mart acquired Marshall's and since then, they have added hundreds of new stores every year! Today, Marshall's is one of the largest specialty clothing retailers in the United States. Casual clothes are your go-to outfit for weekends at the beach or bar hopping through downtown Los Angeles. A casual outfit should be comfortable but still attractive and trendy. To create a casual look, you need to start with neutral colors and items that can be mixed and matched with other things you own. For example, brown shoes will go with anything so choose your shoes based on how they feel before looking at the price tag!
