Sarojini Nagar
For people with great bargaining skills, this is a place specially designed for you. All you have to do is be patient and swift through heaps of clothes to find tops and tunics of your choice.

Janpath
This market is very popular among those who love to shop on a budget, especially college students. It’s a one-stop shop for clothes, jewellery, and so on. However, its main attraction has to be jewellery in all styles at reasonable prices. It also specialises in decorative items and fancy bags. The place also has a variety of tops, crop tops, dresses beginning at Rs. 250 and going up to Rs. 800. There’s also a wide variety of ethnic wear to choose from.

Boys go shopping
While girls may have to shop at a whole lot of places to find even one good pair of earrings, we boys have it easy. For us, short colourful tees with quirky messages, canvas shoes and a comfortable pair of jeans is good enough.

Investing in a good pair of sunglasses is a good idea. Putting in money on a good brand is worth it as it will last long and never go out of style.For boys, the good shopping spots are Nehru Place and Gaffar Market — which offer a number of options.

You might want to walk down the streets and pick up interesting stuff that you come across. There is, in fact, a range of interesting accessories from wristwatches to shoes to choose from.

Have a great time shopping!
