Hi there, it's Misaki again :) Are you a shopping lover? I am a big fan of clothes shopping! I just like looking around some shops and trying my favorite clothes on! (Not a big spender though....!) Anyways, today I would like to introduce you students here some cool places for in-store clothing shopping in Sydney and also great affordable clothing websites for online shopping lovers! Whether you are an in-store shopping lover or online shopper, I hope you find this post useful for your future shopping!

 

5 MUST GO in-store shopping places

Where to go for your shopping is very important. Here're some shops in Sydney I would like to recommend you for your shopping. These shops have great items for different occasions, so these places are great whether you are looking for daily uni clothes, casual hanging out with your friends and lovers, basic items and party dresses!

1. H&M 

Yes, H&M finally arrived in Sydney last year (Australia, why do we always have to wait for so many international clothing brand stores for so long!?). Since its arrival, Sydney girls who have waited for this amazing Swedish clothing brand, H&M to finally come to Sydney for a long time are shopping at the H&M store like crazy, holding clothes, clothes, clothes and heading to the fitting room to try them on and happily going home with the clothes. (Sadly, H&M Macquarie Centre is still am only store in Sydney, but H&M is coming to the city VERY SOON too!)


H&M offers you a wide range of style options such as casual clothes, office wear, party and formal dresses, basics, sporty and gym wears, underwear, accessories and shoes, and you can get pretty much everything from the top to the bottom at once from H&M store at VERY AFFORDABLE prices(How great!).

H&M Macquarie Centre

2. Forever21

Okay. So what came after H&M? Forever 21. Of course!!! We've waited for this awesome American brand for so long! Known for its trendy offerings and its economical pricing, Forever21 sells clothing, accessories, and beauty products for you :) What I like about shopping at Forever21 is that it is very easy to find what you are looking for. Whether it is basic items, gym wear, party chic dresses, casual clothing or summer festival clothes, Forever 21 has clear division of style of clothes that guides you!

There might be some items are higher-priced, but they are all worth it with the high quality product and the various stylish cuts. (They do have a great sale at their stores quite frequently!)

 5. Dotti

Dotti is my favorite shopping place in Australia. When I'm not sure what to wear to my friend's birthday party or I'm looking for basic items such as jeans or Tshirt, I got to Dotti. I love their indie kind of style of clothes and accessories! They have a great sale where basic white/grey/yellow/black Tshirts becomes $5-$10 and sometimes you can even buy a pretty casual and party dress you've been checking at a surprising price around $20 to $50!

There are heaps of other great shops from a bit higher-priced international clothing shops such as Topshop, ZARA, UNIQLO, GAP to affordable home brand clothing stores such as Cotton On, Factorie, Forever New, Jay Jays, General Pants Co., ICE, Supre.... so many options depending on what you are after :) So, now check into these stores! I hope you will like clothes there!
