IMHO it indicates a shop selling very "fashionable"/trendy things. Naturally, most shops selling clothes will follow current trends (even second hand shops typically do), but some clothes are more timeless than others and some are so trendy that you likely would want to wear them in 5-10 years. I also agree with a previous comment, that a "boutique" is usually not a chain store (e.g. I wouldn't a an H&M, C&A, Orsay, GAP, Zara etc. a "boutique"), a fashion store might be. Brands (key brand) and prize section aside, I would like to be able to distinguish (sorry, not sure about English words, so am using German here): - Herrenausstatter / Bekleidungshaus / Damenausstatter (i.e. men, women, kids or all of a shop type which has everything from underwear to pants/trousers, socks, t-shirts, shirts, jackets/coats, but isn't a department store because it is specialized in clothes). - a shirts shop (shirts and ties) - underwear / pyjamas (only) - chain retailers like the above mentioned - boutiques (small individual shops, usually specialized for either men or women, usually higher quality at higher prices) and maybe some more (e.g. jeans shop, sports shop, outdoor clothing, ...).
