The most gorgeous collection of guayaberas in Miami can be found in this family-run shop, where the friendly owner will hand measure you and tailor a shirt to your tastes.

U Rock Couture
U Rock is the quintessential Miami Beach clothing store. Loud, flashy and in your face, it resembles a mangled clash of rhinestones, tight clothes, revealing dresses, deep tans, euro accents and the cast of Jersey Shore. Somehow, this is all strangely appealing...rather like Lincoln Rd itself.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
