Taipei Xinyi shopping district

In Xinyi district, they sell the newest drops from famous brands like Pull and Bear, Berska, H&M, Uniqlo, and much more. Here is a list of some of the best places to shop when you are around Taipei 101:

Bershka

Bershka is the go to place for the freshest outfit. They provide a wide range of the newest clothes with styles ranging from soft boy to e-boy. Bershka in Xinyi has two big floors, one for men and one for women. The bad thing about Bershka is that their stock can be pricey and there are hardly any discounts.

H&M

H&M website

H&M sells clothes of ‘Western pop culture.’ H&M provides tons of clothes with different fits that would suit everyone perfectly. The problem with H&M is that their Men’s section is noticeably smaller than other sections, and their accessories are also not as special as other brands.

Uniqlo

Uniqlo’s clothing is the definition of Asian streetwear. They not only provide popular Asian clothes, but also collabs with famous celebrities and anime. Uniqlo is also cheaper compared to the other brands in Xinyi.

Taller or bigger people would have a hard time finding fitting clothes in Uniqlo because their fits are smaller and shorter than average.

Shi Lin Night Market

Shi Lin Night Market is huge, and there are tons of varieties of clothes there. The clothes at Shi Lin might seem cheap and low quality at first sight, but if you know where to look you can find great stuff. Here is a narrowed list of the most aesthetic shops you can find at Shi Lin.

Greys and Tas

Dress up like Kpop idols at Greys and Tas. Grey and Tas has clothes that are rare because they import clothes from undiscovered, small Korean businesses. Despite the rare clothes they sell, the price is unstable due to clothes from multiple companies.

Tonya shop

Tonya shop has exciting apparel and their vintage clothes look exactly like 90s styles. Vintage looks are getting more and more popular recently. So instead of stealing from your grandpa or grandma, go to Tonyas.

The clothes they sell there are unisex too. However, Tonya only has a small range of sizes and clothes, which restricts their customers.

Ximending

Ximending has been the go to place for teens since 1987. Due to the food and clothes there, it has always been one of the most popular attractions. Shops at Ximending constantly update what they sell to keep up with the popular trends, so don’t worry, you won’t find clothes from 1987. Only the old buildings give off a vintage Taiwanese 80s vibe. Shop at Ximending for a different experience.

Jordan

This is not just a regular Jordan store, but the one of the biggest. The huge Jordan store contains all the merch you want as a basketball fan. They have clothes ranging from sportswear to casual, and they also have accessories like Jordan backpacks and headbands. The best thing about Jordan Ximending is their wide variety of Jordans. They have the OG Jordan 1s to the newest Jordan 34s. The only problem is that the clothes they sell are too expensive compared to other nearby shoe stores.

Asper Shoe Shop

Asper Shoe Shop is the paradise for sneakerheads. Their wide range of basketball and casual shoes consist of famous brands like Nike, Jordan, Yeezys, Adidas, and much more. They even have those more rare shoe collabs like Off white x Nikes. They also import new shoes in Taiwan before they are even sold by other shops. This results in a small variety of shoe size because everyone is literally rushing to buy their shoes.

ABC Mart

ABC Mart sells shoes of a more casual style. ABC Mart has skater shoes, flip flops and some running shoes from brands like Converse, Vans, and Adidas. The best thing about ABC Mart is that they sell their shoes cheaper compared to all the other shops. Everyone goes to ABC Mart for comfy kicks, so their shoes are often sold out and missing some sizes.

Already feeling the urge to go shopping? It’s almost Christmas, and everyone wants to show up to school with their freshest fit. Use this list as your shopping guide and go shopping happily with your friends before Christmas break ends!
