Where to shop trendy clothes (both gender)
I get tons of comments and emails about where to go and shop. So I decided to write a thread about ALL cool and good places to go to (give ratings as well).Shaanxi Road - I would call this a shopping place for Shanghai newbies. You are amazed at what clothes you can find here, Marc Jacobs, GUESS shoes for 500 rmb, real See by Chloe tops for 400 rmb, etc. But it is quite expensive and the clothes are so so, sometimes you can find treasure. Just by the corner of Shaanxi Road and Changle Road there's a shoe store with REAL brand shoes for good prices (those shoes you can actually find in the department store but in this special shop you pay much less). You can in most cases not bargain here. Shoppingstreet for women.
Xinle Road - A bit better than Shaanxi Road, a bit fancier, a bit trendier, also a bit more expensive. Although there are about 3,4 shops there who don't overcharge, such as the store where I bought my purple dress (240 rmb if I remember correctly). But on Xinle Road they really got some amazing things that you drool over but don't want to pay such high prices. Hardly no bargain at all. Shoppingstreet for both women and men
Changle Road - You can find House of Holland Tshirts here for about 300rmb, plus some other cool designer shops. Quite expensive though. Prices are about 400 - 1000 for a top. I believe men can find good things here more often than those other streets. No bargain, maybe the staff will give you 10% off or something. Shoppingstreet for both women and men
Zhongshan Park Metro station (walk ahead exit 6) - One of the best places for sure, I have found lots of cute and trendy things here. And prices are good as well, around 80 - 300rmb for tops, shoes around 100 rmb. There are also a couple food places there that are cool and trendy and cheap! And most of the time you can bargain here. Shoppingstreet for women
Email Plaza - Opposite City Plaza in Jingansi (just by metrostation). I like this place, they got some cool and very trendy clothes, great selection of underwear for women. Expect to pay 200 - 400 for clothes here though. Sometimes you can bargain, sometimes not. Shoppingstreet for women
This is all for now, wait til Monday and I will give you report of other places! I plan to visit Ruijin Yi Road (crosstreet from Huaihai Road, look like they got some nice shops), also I read in Shanghai Talk about this street called Fengxian Road north of Nanjing Xi Road. There's an underground on Huaihai Road called Hongkong somthing, can't remember, but they have lots of manicure places and of course lots of clothingstores. Might check that out as well this coming weekend. Shopping is my exercise nowadays :( I just don't have the energy to travel to Jinmao building just to go to the gym...

Ruijin Yi Road has some nice shops selling nice bags and shoes.
Thanks for that ! :D
Hehe, so you can't bargain on the first 3 streets ?
Also what about the science & technology park or something ?
Is there good shopping there?
hmm you mean the gift market beside the science and tech metro stop? personally, i think its okay. they target tourists LOL but if you make it seem like ur a local they'll give you much better prices. even so, they'll start off ridiculously high. if they say 300RMB for a pair of jeans, don't think 250 is a good price :P sometimes they'll start the prices at 280 and you can get them for 80.
yeah, the market . Thanks for that !
do you know how to get to the superbrand mall from xujiahui? :S
Really disappointed with the shopping for guys at these streets in Shanghai. Beijing does it much better...
