Suit Up at The Clothing Show

This weekend is the Spring edition of The Clothing Show, where you can find tonnes of new and vintage clothes at real bargain prices. I've been going on and off over the past 10 years, and the new independant designers have really increased their presence over the years. The vintage clothing is still the real score: I usually get 4 or 5 shirts, a jacket and some accessories (sunglasses, cufflinks, etc.) for $100 or so. Dig around a bit and score some terrific and unique finds: I regularly find a great jacket or shirt for cheap and then see that style 6 months later in boutiques for much more moola.

Tips:
1) Bring cash, the ATM line-ups are stupid long.
2) The changing rooms are also stupid busy. Wear something that allows you to try clothes on over them.
3) Bring a bottle of water and a snack. Power through the sales while others lunch.
4) Bring spare bags.

The 511 Bathurst streetcar from Bathurst station is the easiest way to get to the Exhibition.
