In addition to the trendy shopping districts and malls that pepper the city, there are also a number of fashion and clothing fairs. One of the most celebrated of these is a bimonthly event called 'O Cluster,' that brings together refined and experimental fashion, music and gastronomy in a beautiful mansion in the Botafogo neighbourhood.

There is room for other fashion fairs, such as the one held every Sunday in the iconic neighborhood of Ipanema: the Feira Hippie Market, which gives visitors and locals excellent chances to see and enjoy the antique treasures and fit perfectly in the retro chic scene of the easygoing vibe that only Rio de Janeiro can give, and guaranteed to produce some interesting objects for anyone interested in Carioca arts and crafts.

Anyone looking for clothing and shoes at discounted prices, should head to centro's downtown, especially along the streets Rua Uruguaiana, Rua da Alfândega, and Rua Buenos Aires, where fashion outlets dominate the street fronts of the landmark shopping district called 'SAARA.'
