As one of the biggest retailers in the US, with nearly 1,200 stores and a particularly devoted Midwestern following, Kohl's has established itself as a go-to destination for everything from apparel to home goods.
Since it's founding in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, more than 50 years ago, Kohl's has carved out a niche among traditional department store peers like JCPenney and Macy's, thanks to its one-stop-shop model and proximity to suburban locales. It's continued to cultivate its loyal fan base by experimenting with now-beloved loyalty and rewards programs, while also teaming with major partners like Amazon to help shoppers more seamlessly make online returns.
However, with such a large inventory of items across categories, it can be difficult to identify the best deals at Kohl's. With that in mind, and with the help of a variety of expert reviews and blogs, here are 18 products to buy at Kohl's and 10 products you should skip.
Kohl's boasts an impressive array of name-brand sporting goods and athletic apparel for less, such as Adidas, Nike, and Fila Sport. According to The Penny Hoarder, the fitness selection is worth at least a quick browse before hitting the register.
"When all else fails, you probably need a pair of track shorts or a workout tank top
Exclusive designer fashion collections
Beyond athletic apparel, Kohl's has also transformed itself into a fashion destination, featuring exclusive collections from designers ranging from legends like Vera Wang to celebrities like Lauren Conrad and Jennifer Lopez.
Men's Accessories
5 Best Things recommends Kohl's for men's accessories like ties and socks. "If you're looking to gift your husband or partner with stylish yet affordable accessories, or if you're a man looking to buy on-trend essentials, Kohl's is the right place," 5 Best Things wrote.
Furniture
While Kohl's does have a limited selection of furniture, Rutherford Source — a local community blog in Tennessee — recommends looking into cheaper options like Target, Ikea, or Walmart to avoid breaking the bank.
"Retail prices on Kohl's furniture offerings are usually too high for coupons to have a significant impact on dropping the cost for the consumer," wrote Donna Vissman of Rutherford Source. "In addition, shipping charges are exorbitant on oversized items, pushing the price tag up even more."
Shoes
Kohl's has loads of name-brand shoes for the whole family, but experts say they tend to be cheaper, lower quality models and instead suggest heading over to Nordstrom Rack or another discount retailer.
"While Kohl's occasionally offers decent sale prices on lower-end Nike sneakers, these cheaper models are usually poorer quality than models that can be found in a specialized shoe store.
Home decor
Much like competitors like Marshall's, TJ Maxx, and HomeGoods, Kohl's has tons of home decor and wall art at bargain prices for every room of the house.
Cleaning Supplies And Appliances
Shoppers looking to keep their homes neat and tidy will find several options at their disposal with cleaning supplies and appliances like vacuum cleaners at discount prices.
