    Draco Store

    This menswear store specializes in stylish beachwear, including well-made swim-shorts. You’ll also find jeans, button-downs and T-shirts (in the R$50 to R$70 range) – the best of which bear the names of Rio neighborhoods (Copacabana, Ipanema, Arpoador).

    Sociedade Anônimo

    The ‘Anonymous Society’ is a playful store full of young women’s fashions (good for both the beach and a night out) as well as colorful jewelry, kids clothes, silly postcards, bags of plastic dinosaurs, Buddhas in little cases and other assorted toys and accessories that may be just the thing for an inventive night on the town.

    Esapaço Fashion

    This long, narrow boutique has a decor and aesthetic aimed to attract a young, hip, somewhat fashion-forward group of shoppers in its form-fitting skirts, dresses and tops, flashy sneakers and one-of-a-kind jewelry. Electronic music plays overhead, and there’s a tiny lounge area at the back with some art books – for the gents while the gals shop.

    Contemporâneo

    A glowing boutique reminiscent of something you’d find in the center of Soho – better yet Nolita (the fashionistas’ neighborhood of choice in New York). See the work of Brazil’s best up-and-coming designers here. There’s an excellent restaurant (serving contemporary fare of course) inside the store.

    Brechó Arte 70

    Brechó Arte 70 features several racks of second­hand clothes as well as the occasional antique from time to time. Depending on your luck, you can come across some good finds here. Brechós, incidentally, are secondhand stores, which come and go in this neighborhood.

    Desculpa, Eu Sou Chique

    On bohemian Rua Alice, ‘Sorry I’m Chic’ is a delightful store selling a rambling assortment of vintage fashion, modish relics from the ’60s and plenty of great finds from decades past. The upstairs area with a bar is also a theater space with periodic performances throughout the year.

    Redley

    In the heart of Ipanema, this new multilevel fashion store is a fine place to browse for couture beach duds and streetwear. Unlike most other Ipanema boutiques, this one’s aimed at the men, with an excellent assortment of T-shirts, shorts and swim suits.

    Oz

    Complete with ruby-red heels and a yellow-brick road of sorts, Oz is a playful send-up of the old Dorothy story. T-shirts are the specialty here and, not surprisingly, come in whimsical designs that work for both the club and the beach.
