It’s not just the ladies who are putting the Gold Coast on the fashion map—the men are making their mark, too. Here are just a few of the places the Gold Coast’s most stylish guys are shopping…
Alfred’s Apartment, Mermaid Beach
Come for the coffee, stay for the clothes. If you feel like you could throw a stone on the Gold Coast and hit an Alfred’s Apartment cap or hoodie, you’re probably right – this brand is everywhere. From their branded hoodies and tees to their Temptation Vacation line, this shop is a go-to for guys (and girls, honestly) looking for a curated collection of apparel, headwear and accessories.
Inside Out Vintage, Burleigh Heads
If you’ve ever wondered where Gold Coast guys are finding their vintage graphic tees, you’re not yet acquainted with Inside Out Vintage. New on Burleigh’s shopping scene, Inside Out offers a curated collection of quality vintage clothing at pretty reasonable prices. Tees are their specialty, but you’ll find outerwear, jerseys and bottoms here too. Happy hunting!
The Lobster Shanty, online
From The Village Markets – where they always occupied the most colourful corner – to a fully-fledged online business, The Lobster Shanty has certainly carved their own niche. Born in Burleigh in 2015, this brand is quintessentially Gold Coast: nostalgic, colourful and a little bit cheeky. If you’re looking for unique street and surf wear from an independent, local business, this is the brand for you.
Outer Bound, Burleigh Heads
This place has everything – and we mean everything. Records (as we mentioned a few weeks ago), camping gear, books, incense, accessories, surf gear and, of course, clothes. They stock brands like The North Face and Roark, as well as their own range of specially designed t-shirts. If you’re the type to buy everything in one go so you don’t need to think about shopping for the rest of the year, this one-stop shop is the place for you.
