A boutique is a small shopping outlet, especially one that specializes in elite and fashionable items such as clothing and jewellery. The word is French for "shop".

"Boutique" was an everyday English word in the late 1960s when, for a brief period, Swinging London was the centre of the fashion trade.Carnaby Street and the Kings Road were the focus of much media attention as the most fashionable boutiques of the era were there.
