I had a look at Premonition in Newtown today, I don't mind their clothes and and one of their T…read moreshirts, which has a really cool and unusual design. I find their clothes a bit hit and miss, but that's ok, because at least they are willing to sometimes push the envelope in what they sell and when you do this you're walking a fine line of what people will and won't like and what will suit different people's tastes. These days Premonition's clothes are leaning towards chic and for the most part it works, it's a bit of a shame though that the designs aren't as funkily experimental as they once were. Their clothes are on the expensive side, but they also do really good sales so I suppose it all balances out.

What a great shopping spot for guys…read more They have a great selection of clothing with a modern, yet classic look. I purchased a suit that fit extremely well and it was purchased at a very reasonable price. The store is organized very well and they have very good choices for the well-dressed guy. One thing that really impressed me was the customer service - it was fantastic! A very nice woman helped with getting the correct sizes and she was extremely knowledgeable, patient and seemed to really care. She even offered the arrangement of the alteration so I could have everything ready the following day - that was great! This was a bit more of an upscale store (from an American perspective in pricing), but it was well worth it since I left I very satisfied customer.

Best shop for designer/luxury streetwear in Sydney. APC is my favourite brand there…read more I just wish the store was bigger with even more stock:)

Sure the prices are high but these are designer brands after all and to be expected. Although I have to admit Incu marks it up quite high. This place fits right into my approach to shopping. I don't shop often at all so I have a small wardrobe, but when I do I tend to buy investment pieces that would last me years. I have bought a few items here (mostly when its on sale) and even the most simple items look different when worn. My favourite designer is Alexander Wang and his casual wear line is amazing. He puts a bit of cool to my usual uniform of jeans and t-shirt! The assistants there are usually design students and are nice enough when approached. I guess the clothes speak for themselves and their demeanor reflective of most designer stores. Truth is, at current market conditions, I would rather shop online because you can get all of these designers on websites such as net-a-porter at much lower prices. But if I can't wait or if its sold out overseas, this is when I head to Incu. Lovely store with beautiful clothing.

Shortened to 'Vinnies' this is a city-wide charity shop that has a number of stores. The one in…read morePaddington is big and packed with second hand clothes, a few CDs and some shoes. They have ordered the clothes according to colour so you can be pretty direct if you want to find something in particular. I found most of the clothes quite mumsyish, but I didn't let that dissuade me. After a bit more of a thorough browse I came away with a gorgeous Country Road top and sensible work skirt, all for under $30! Very pleasing...and charitable. What more could you ask for?

Great shop for your running needs. They have a wide range of mens and womens running shoes and…read moreapparel, and they have clearance deals every once in a while. The shoes are stocked on their shelves in an organised way and it is relatively easy to find a size once you've chosen the model you want. Fitness First members get an additional 20% off already reduced prices. My husband and I were able to get fairly new models of running shoes for $64 each, which is actually cheaper than US prices. The shoes I bought are listed at DSW for US $79.95. The staff are friendly and helpful, one of the sales assistants was very obliging in helping us find the size for the shoes we wanted because we couldn't find one on the shelves. In fact, they come up to you when they see you looking at shoes and let you know that if you can't find your size on the shelf, they'll check if they have it in their stockroom. I know it's their job but I've found the staff at other outlet stores to be unhelpful or grumpy, so for me it's a plus that they have good sales assistants.

Local Store is a trendy urban fashion store, which based on the number of skateboards on dale is aiming at a skater market, I am not a skater but I would buy clothes there. I just bought an awesome t-shirt from Insight's Garage Artist's range, designed by Japanese artist Yaki Allen a white shirt featuring a black hole design, very cool. They also have the coolest headphones and ear-plugs, I have seen on sale in Sydney, I particularly like a pair of 80's style smaller wire headphones but with a ultra-modern design and in blue, red and yellow colour (that's three colours in one pair, not three separate colours, bit out of my price range, but everyone needs a dream.
