One can opine that Delhiites have access to just about everything—the history, good food, marvellous architecture and even the snazziest of fashion trends straight from the runway!

But there’s one thing you will find most Delhiites follow closely—fashion trends. They love wearing whatever is the ‘talk of the town’ and go to absolutely any lengths to achieve ‘the look’.

While some of us are willing to shell out thousands and thousands to achieve the season’s look, there are a few of us who’d rather improvise and stay within our budgets!

There are hundreds of malls in and around Delhi. But sometimes one needs to step out of that zone to experience ‘real’ shopping! Here’s a look at some of the most trusted places you need to head over to shop—be it for the boho chic look or the one that you recently saw at the Cannes festival!

1. Chandni Chowk

Oh . . . that place with the old-world charm and a variety to choose from! From stationery to jewellery and even replica knock offs from the designer collections of clothes, they have them all. Head over here to grab the best of deals on the best of products and binge on delicious food while you shop!

Apart from being a shopper’s paradise, its old-world charm will mesmerize you!

2. Shankar Market

For those of you who love to dabble with fabrics and enjoy designing your own clothes, Shankar Market is a trove! Take a trip to this quaint little market in Connaught Place to get lost in the variety the iconic shops offer!

From all the basics to the paraphernalia you need to deck up the simplest of outfits, Shankar Market is where you need to be!

3. Connaught Place

If you’re the kind of shopper who also likes to binge on luxury while looking for budget friendly buys, head over to Connaught Place right away—high street fashion and street trends, everything just a block away!

Along with the architecture, the number of brand showrooms that this place houses may overwhelm you. But the best part is that as soon as you step out of a showroom, there’s more shopping to indulge in from the street shops!

4. Dilli Haat

Do you enjoy flaunting a multicultural wardrobe? It would be impractical to visit each of those places to buy your stuff. But you could head over to Dilli Haat right away!

From Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Gujarat to Assam, the artisans here offer their best work at the best prices. It is quite an experience and you wouldn’t want to miss it!

5. Hauz Khas Village

The famous HKV is not only famous for its historical value and the amazing nightlife, but also for the designer shops it houses.

Tucked away inside the streets of this market, you’ll find some of the most interesting boutiques that offer unique clothing and jewellery. Though the buys are priced slightly higher, you can still find a unique look for yourself and become a trendsetter!

We’re looking forward to a short vacay from the Delhi heat and are headed over to these places for the season’s fashion essentials. Where do we meet you?
