Buying Cheap Clothes - Tshirts etc

Hi

I am going to KL and Langkawi in July, was hoping to buy most of our holiday clothes there. We are in KL first, is it better to buy them there or are they just as available in Langkawi?

Thanks

Buying Cheap Clothes - Tshirts etc

Hi

I think you are in for a couple of shocks!

If you are over a female UK size 8 or 10 with curves, then don%26#39;t bother - you will need to take your clothes with you. Not many shops cope with the western shape and size, and only have small petite asian women in mind with their stock. Males have a bit easier, but Ls and XL etc have less choice.

There are no cheap clothes in Malaysia at the moment. With around 5ringitt to the pound you will find things actually quite expensive. When we were getting 6.3-7myr to the pound things where much cheaper than the UK, but you will find it is not the case now. OK you may well find some cheap tat, but no decent stuff.

Langkawi only has a couple of small malls, so not much choice. Ok, its a duty free island, but thats on the cigerettes and alcohol in the duty free shops, not in the hotels and restaurants. You will find sarongs etc but otherwise the selection of %26#39;holiday clothes%26#39; is limited for the western woman. Limited choice in the shops compare to KL.

Places like Chinatown / Petaling Street and the lower end of Bukit Bintang do have the replica goods, but the good stuff costs more. Shops like FOS (like our TJ Hughes or TK Maxx) do have some western sizes and are resonably cheap - bought a pair of cut off for ￡5. We like Sungai Wang Plaza for its choice and resaonbly priced shops. But the prestigious malls will have you reelling!! British India sells western sizes, but the prices!

I would stock up with your clothes at home from TK Maxx, TJ Hughes or QD, Poundwise shops, and forgot the buy cheap clothes in Malaysia.

Shop for other stuff rather than clothes.

Hi, it depends on what kind of clothes you want to buy. I find that some things are cheaper than in the UK, some are about the same price. If you are looking for PROPER clothes that won%26#39;t fade after one washing and tear after one night at the disco, I would seriously avoid Sungei Wang Plaza and Jalan petaling. Most stuff there are made of bad quality jersey and thin polyester. Try heading to the KLCC suria mall. They have quite a number of fashion retail shops there like TopShop, Zara, Esprit etc. I have seen many ';curvy'; girls walking into the TopShop in and out again with large bags; so I don%26#39;t think its much of a problem there. T-shirts are pretty cheap everywhere; head to local stores like Isetan and Parkson or Metrojaya for cheaper unbranded but OK quality stuff. The Pavilion has quite a number of fashion stores are well; but they are mostly branded like Dorothy Perkins, Adidas, Billabong etc. Shops like Bata, Nine West (you%26#39;ll find them in KLCC and Pavilion as wel) sells cheap but good flip flops, sandals and shoes. If you are looking for ethnic clothing/sandals with lots of beads and sequins, head to the Central Market or Jalan Masjid India for ethnic stuff. KL has definitely more choices than Langkawi. Happy shopping!
