    En Avance

    Want your shopping to be as chic as your nightclubbing? Then head here, where you’ll be greeted by a velvet rope and a hot collection of high fashion once inside. The friendly staff will help you negotiate through the Rebecca Taylor, Juicy Couture, Tse and more. You’ll also find Defile makeup and even designer styles for infants. Don’t be surprised if you rub elbows with a celeb or two.

    Base

    This groovy hip-hop outlet has everything you need to be a good clubber – the latest Pumas, edgy streetwear, designer baseball caps, men’s shaving and skincare products from gourmet labels, and a whole range of thumpa-thumpa and bom-chika-bom-chika CDs available for sampling at storefront listening stations.

    Whittall & Shon

    The disco beat here gets your adrenaline going while you flip through racks of way-gay muscle tees, tank tops and sundry other clingy tops, some sporting cruise-yphrases like ‘caliente!, ’ ‘69’ or ‘coach.’ Teensy, bubble-butt-squeezing swim trunks are also here: hot stuff.

    La Casa de Los Trucos

    In the middle of Little Havana is a surreal outdoor monster menagerie of vampires and mummies guarding a cavernous yet claustrophobic ‘House of Costumes.’ Because nothing completes the Little Havana experience like a cubano (Cuban sandwich), a cigar and a Bo Peep outfit.

    Scoop

    If yours was the real-life story Zoolander was based on, you’d probably like to shop in Scoop, located in the Shore Club and full of hot-ticket fashion for models (male and female) from both its own label and others, including Juicy Couture, Paul Smith and Theory.

    Daszign New York

    This boutique is hot, bursting with labels including Rebecca Taylor, Juicy Couture, 2 B Free, and denim from Seven, Paper Denim & Cloth, Joe’s, Hudson and more. Unique accessories and footwear from New York designers are also on display.

    Recycled Blues

    Got budgetary blues? It’s wall-to-wall funkdefied used clothing here, although the focus is more discarded modern style than vintage chic. Think of Recycled as a very cool Salvation Army. Find Levi’s for $15, shorts for $10 and jackets for $20.

    Primo Milano

    The name evokes Milan, but not as much as the fashion. When we visited, Primo Milano was all about lookin’ like a rockstar, selling the sort of big, diamante-studded skull belt buckles you either find irresistible or incredibly gauche.

    Beatnix

    Basically, this is where you come to get dressed up in some nightmarish outfit of your better-forgotten past. They’ve got vinyl dresses, ‘70s tracksuits and platform heels, plus coasters, postcards, glasses and wacky wigs.

    Hip.e

    A bit more hip than hippie, the clothes and jewelry here manage to mix up indie and hip-hop aesthetics in an admirably wearable way. Think Lucite bangles just slightly embellished by bling and you’ve got an idea of the vibe.

    Deco Denim

    For basic casualwear, this is your place, especially if you’re looking to pick up some classic American Levi’s in any form – from 501 button fly and super-low 518s to boot cuts and cargo pants.

    Wings

    Rather than run through a dozen souvenir/terrible T-shirt shops, just come to this ginormous beach emporium with the surfboard neon sign and load up on all the tatty tourism crap you’ll ever need.

    Sofi Swimwear

    Goodness gracious glamorous. Founded by Brazilian designer Surya Oliveira, Sofi sells more elegantly subdued swimsuits than the average thong-tha-thong-thong-thong bikinis on display in these parts.

    Desiree Nercessian

    We’re still not sure how to pronounce the name of this place, but we do know it sells lovely beachwear that gets you noticed without sacrificing your dignity or, for that matter, your wallet.

    Havana Shirt Store

    Caters a bit to the Carnival Cruise crowd (look, the store’s on Ocean Dr), but it’s got a decent selection of cool linen guayaberas (brocaded men’s shirts) here.

    reviewed

  17. Betsey Johnson

    The bright, quirky and thoroughly eclectic line from the bright-eyed Betsey specializes in fun and sexy skirts and dresses, with funkified frilly blouses and hose thrown in for good measure.

  18. P

    Ritchie Swimwear

    Mix-n-match bikini tops and bottoms make a big-busted, tiny-hinied (or flat-chested, big-bootied) gal feel at home. This place is heavy on string-comprised, minimum-coverage styles.

    Buy all your swimsuits, flip-flops, sun hats and flowered, draw-string, loungey resort-getups, especially from that classic Jams label, at this mellow beach boutique.
