Clothes and shoes in AU

mhej

Hi Guys! Not sure if may thread na ganito na, but I'm wondering, given our Asian and petite frame, hindi ba kayo nahihirapan bumili ng damit at sapatos sa AU?

Especially shoes for men. Hindi ba malalaki ang mga sizes nila? Or do you resort to buying sa Kids section?

Any idea where we can purchase small sizes of clothing na fashionable naman at may sense?

The problem is not the size but the price 😃

to be honest; it ain't too bad naman if you just buy during sale...

like for instance, yung binili ko na polo from TM Lewin, umaabot sya ng $40 lang per shirt as i got it on sale and i bought 4 pcs... quality is good!

Mejo Natawa ko sa post mo na resort to buying sa kids section. Lmao

Lived in Australia for almost 3 years. Wala akong naging problema pagbili ng damit. Mas mura, mas quality, at mas fashionable sa Australia in my opinion. Palagi ako bumibili sa Jay jays at cotton on. Ang xs nila ay ka size ng small sa pinas. Kalimitan $10 lang or less than 400 pesos. Kapag nag sale may 5 dollars pa nga. Marami din sa target na mura. Pinakamasarap mag shopping sa dfo=direct factory outlet. May mga sapatos na $5 lang. One thing na mas mura sa pinas ay vans shoes halos doble sa Australia.

Isa pa maganda sa Australia hindi sila brand conscious. Sa pinas it's all about the brand.

yung black shoes ko galing pa ng pinas gawa sa narikina kaya matibay, rubber shoew laging online para mas mura basta alam mo aize mo, normally makikita mo sa tag

Ako naman gusto ko na brand is FP and SUperDry. Mas magastos ako mamili dito kasi in dollars price tsaka kaskas sa Credit Card, pero pag sa pinas pag peso kakahinayang gumasta. Sa Australia cguro tipid mode na talaga ako, kaya enjoy ko na shopping dito sa SG.

@vhoythoy I'm telling you people don't care kung anumang tatak ng damit mo sa Australia. Egalitarian society ang Australia. Hindi status symbol ang damit. I actually find it laughable that it is in the philippines.

korek, walang paki dito ang mga tao sa sinusuot mo... 🙂

very far from the mentality of singaporeans and filipinos!

i agree with @rein_marco and @TasBurrfoot! hehehe Tska dito sa Australia, mas natuto akong mag-save mabuti at wag bumili ng kung anu-ano. Actually not only sa damit, but also ung job mo, hindi ka mamaliitin, kahit nasa trade ka or doing odd jobs, pantay-pantay ang tingin sa lahat, same lang kayo ng kakainin. :-) Sorry nagdigress na sa topic. hehe

anyway, nung una akala ko lahat ng damit dito mahal. May mga cheap bargains din naman. For the ladies, ung paper scissors mura sya, stylish pa. Although sa katagalan parang magssawa ka na rin magshopping hehehe iisipin mo na maginvest at bumili ng property. Or baka ako lang to. hehehe ;-) lahat naman attainable dito eh, bsta may work ka ;-)

haha nakakatuwa naman eto. concern ko din yan e. Di kasi ako brand conscious, more on price conscious (the cheaper the better, kahit second hand haha). Tsaka yung property, yun din ang target ko tlga.

Hey!

You can find great range of men's/kids shoes here at <a href="https://www.bstore.com.au/">Bstore site</a>. They have the best prices and models of Birkenstock in many sizes! My personal fave! 🙂

@mhej, Hindi mahirap humanap ng damit at sapatos for Asians. I've lived in Sydney and mas nakakahanap pa ako ng size 6 (mens) na rubbershoes in Sydney compared to Manila.

Dept stores like Big W and Kmart, halos meron asian sizes. Most clothes are from China anyway and marami ring Asians in Sydney.

Otherwise, I resort to the kids section (size 14) lol. I shop a lot though at ASOS.com

@TasBurrfoot totally agree....the irony is? I embraced simplicity since living abroad. One of the reasons why I fell in love with the life in Sydney first time I came as a student at 22 years old - I loved the freedom to be just yourself and not thinking about what other people think. No need to please anyone, just focus on living your life. Hence I don't think I can put up anymore with the social status mentality in the Philippines. I'm more grounded and practical now I must say.
