At ASOS, it’s easy to try the trends without breaking the bank. There are thousands of pieces to choose from and all for put-it-in-my-cart prices, including ASOS’ cool in-house lines as well as staples of the British High Street like French Connection, Ted Baker, Whistles, Oasis, Warehouse and River Island. They also have an extensive range of lingerie, swimwear, shoes, accessories, jewellery and cosmetics (just make sure you check the make-up items carefully, as not all can be shipped to HK), plus petite, plus-size and maternity ranges.

4. Vamastyle
www.vamastyle.com
If you are looking for frocks perfect for our seemingly never ending HK sun, then try Vamastyle on for size. This Singaporean label knows a thing or two about staying cool!

5. Romwe
www.romwe.com
Looking to get stopped on the street for your style? Then you should check out Romwe! Prices are cheap, choices are plentiful and yup… shipping is free! We love the poufy party dresses and over abundance of rhinestones and spikes.
6. ZaoZao
www.shopzaozao.com
HK-based ZaoZao is a great site for supporting the local design scene and discovering new talent. How does it work? 1. You browse the selections from local designers. 2. You pre-order whatever it is you love. 3. Once the designers have received enough pre-orders, they will then be able to produce those items. The trick is making sure that the pre-order limit is met by the designer’s deadline – this means you need to spread the word and persuade your friends to order some goodies as soon as possible too! Zaozao will also show you how close the item is to production; you won’t be charged until the item has been successfully funded and produced. Get more deets in our full article here.
7. A Boy Named Sue
www.aboynamedsue.co
Being eco-friendly never looked so good! Stylish Hong Kong fashion bloggers Sam and Tania bring you their fave picks of socially conscious clothing labels from around the globe (you can see their current fave items here). Now if only they shipped those cakes and cookies that Sam is famous for baking too!
8. Pretty Dangerous
www.prettydangerous.com.hk
If you’re not into delicate gems and want something with a bit more edge, then Pretty Dangerous is for you. Owner Alison Tam has brought us a carefully curated range of skulls, spikes, snakes and stones from designers not previously available in HK, which will have you looking tough as nails… but in the most glam way possible! Get the full scoop here.
9. Novelty Lane

Shop independent boutiques from all over Asia without leaving your living room! Styles at Novelty Lane vary from the everyday to the avant-garde and each boutique boasts something new, so it’s best to comb the site thoroughly. If you are into crazy t-shirts and quirky jewellery then you’re in luck! Hong Kong vintage boutique Select 18 also sells through Novelty Lane – check out a few of our other fave brands here.
10. The9thMuse

18. ChristingC

You may follow her blog or you may have seen her as a Sassy That Girl, but surely you know Christing C by now! After years of blogging, Christing decided that she would use her newfound contacts and long-time love of clothing to create her own boutique. Insight, Stolen Girlfriends Club, Maurie & Eve and Lauren Conrad’s Paper Crown are just a few of the perfectly chosen ahead-of-the-trend brands that she carries. Shop here if you long to be style stalked on the streets on the Kong and beyond!

20. Aftermath
www.aftermathstudio.com
HK-based designer Nina Ricardo offers cute vintage-inspired dresses that are perfect for your summer sightseeing or next picnic in the park! Inspiration is drawn from the 1950’s silhouette (think cinched waist and voluminous skirts – very Betty Draper), making them eternally flattering on every shape. Read our interview with Nina here.
21. Vaughan
www.wearvaughan.com
This new Hong Kong label to watch specialises in luxurious button-down silk shirts in a variety of colours – after all, every wardrobe needs a few good shirts, right?! You can even get them monogrammed for an extra $10.
22. Yes Walker & Yes Style
www.yeswalker.com, www.yesstyle.com.hk
With free express shipping to Hong Kong, you can pick out what you love and have it within just a few days! Yes Walker is a shoe and bag website packed to the brim with easy wearable styles perfect for HK streets – and best of all, prices are typically under HK$1000! Meanwhile, their sister site YesStyle offers a full range of affordable clothing options (many with Korean and Japanese street style influences) and free express shipping as well.
23. Cameo
www.shopcameo.com
At Sassy, we’re always keen to support homegrown fashion talent especially when it’s affordable and means that we don’t have to look like every other Zara, Tom, Dick and Harry! Cameo is a relatively new fashion label in town born from a desire to provide “affordable on-trend, design with great fit and high quality… something that is highly missed on the fashion market”. So if you’re looking for a new outfit for a night out or a “just because I can” piece to update your wardrobe then Cameo is definitely one to check out.
24. Popmart (free shipping under 2kg)
www.Popmart.com.hk
Popmart offers quality goods made by local designers. If you hate seeing someone else wearing the same thing at a party, then this is your one-stop stop for something truly unique; we particularly love Mary Wong’s ribbon bracelets and Sandra Chau’s geometric necklaces. Pop over to the workshops page and learn when and where to take a class with one of the designers. Who knows – it might not be long until we see your creations on the site!
25. Doorstep Luxury (free shipping to Hong Kong on orders over SGD$300)
www.doorstepluxury.com
While the clothing section on this Singaporean website is limited to say the least, the jewellery has some interesting finds – we like Marilyn Tan’s tassle earrings, Carrie K’s cute charm necklaces and Choo Yilin’s luxe gemstone pieces. This site has promise, especially for discovering emerging new designers that we’ve not seen elsewhere, but we’d like a few more clothes offerings for it to really be a smash!
26. Revolve Clothing (free shipping to Hong Kong on orders above US$100)
www.revolveclothing.com
Boasting a designer list as long as my legs, I dare you to find something not to love at Revolve Clothing! We love the extensive array of denim (Revolve’s specialty), including loads of coloured options for spring. It’s worth checking Shopbop first to compare prices though, as both sites stock many of the same brands.
27. Topshop (free shipping to Hong Kong on orders over GBP£100 – use the code FREE100)
www.topshop.com
Topshop is coming to HK soon but if you are just way too impatient (like me!) to wait for the Queen’s Road flagship store to open its doors, then you can get your fix here! Keep an eye out for their designer collaborations, which sell out almost as soon as they hit the virtual shelves (recent partnerships of note include J.W Anderson, Emma Cook and Mary Katrantzou) and their ultra cool in-house Unique line, which shows at London Fashion Week. They also have petite, maternity and tall ranges – plus Topshop Mini, especially for any littlies in your life!
28. Mango (free shipping to Hong Kong on orders above $1500)
http://shop.mango.com/HK/mango
Mango shops seems to be disappearing from our shores, so if your nearest store has bit the dust, check out their new Hong Kong website. It’s great for simple day or party dresses, easy basics and classic knitwear, plus shoes and accessories that don’t break the bank.
29. The Scarlett Room (free shipping to Hong Kong on orders over SG$150)
www.thescarletroom.com
While this site still requires some spending to earn that free shipping status, there are enough adorable goods on offer to rack up that tally in no time! This Singaporean site showcases loads of easy day-to-night dresses that are perfect for beating the heat at very reasonable prices. Be sure to check out their interesting accessories too. In need of a laser-cut clutch or a leopard cap-toe flat? Look no further!
30. Yoox (free shipping to Hong Kong on orders over US$350)
www.yoox.com
One of the largest fashion online retailers, Yoox boasts hundreds (and we do really mean hundreds) of brands just a few clicks away – including Victoria Beckham, Vivienne Westwood, Wildfox , Alice+Olivia, Diane Von Furstenberg and Jonathan Saunders to name but a few. They also sell a large range of mens and childrenswear, plus home décor, book and art, but where this site really comes into its own is with its mega end-of-season sales – bargain hunters, you have been warned!
31. Pixie Market (free shipping to Hong Kong on orders over US$250)
www.pixiemarket.com
Pixie Market bill themselves as a “Fashion Supermarket” – we only wish Wellcome or Park N Shop were half as cool! Styles are right on-trend with prices in line with H&M. I can’t get enough of their amazing accessories, which include statement cuffs and studded collars. Want more flash for less cash? Check out their fab US$20, $30 and $40 sale sections!
32. American Apparel (free shipping to Hong Kong on orders over HK$600)
www.store.americanapparel.com.hk
Ever since the American Apparel concession disappeared from LAB CONCEPT, Hong Kong has been left AA-less once more! American Apparel, made in downtown LA, has everything from leather and leggings to denim and dino charms, plus the super comfy cotton tees and bright zip-up hoodies they are known for. There are also tonnes of options to choose from for the men, the kids and even the dogs in your life, so feel free to outfit the whole fam! If you need a colorful basic, then look no further
33. Shop Jeen (worldwide shipping is just US$5)
http://www.shopjeen.com/
OK, shipping is not quite free… but at just US$5 regardless of your order size, it’s almost as good as! If you are a magpie and flock to all things shiny, then accessories superstore Jeen is your new nest! Stocking everything from basic to bold and all that’s in-between, we spotted plenty of highly covetable skulls, knuckledusters, dainty stackable rings and even a splash of home décor too. Is that a Karl Lagerfeld finger puppet I see?!
34. Tiare (free shipping to Hong Kong on orders over HK$1000)
http://shoptiare.com
Don’t fancy the trip to Central? Well, HK boutique fave Tiare offers free shipping in Hong Kong on orders over HK$1000. Labels include US designers from LA and NYC such as Hanky Panky, Citizens of Humanity, DL1961, Velvet, Myne and Lauren Conrad’s Paper Crown line; get more deets here.
35. Missguided (free shipping to Hong Kong when you spend over GBP£80)
www.missguided.co.uk
Missguided has established itself as a UK online favourite, delivering vibrant on-trend and celeb-inspired fashion at affordable prices – think New Look, Cotton On or River Island style looks. With new items hitting the shelves daily, you’re bound to find something that takes your fancy; if you’re in need of a few wallet-friendly new party dresses to spice up your evenings out, this could be the place for you. Check out their regularly updated blog section for some style inspo too.
…And one more to bookmark for your summer hols!
36. Itsie Bitsie
www.itsiebitsie.com
One of our fave HK swimwear boutiques now offers online shopping too! Itsie Bitsie are a great one stop-shop for when you need to start thinking about packing your summer getaway suitcase, with a fab range of bikinis, one-pieces and other beachwear. Check out our full scoop on Itsie Bitsie here.
We reckon it’s time to clear out that closet (check out our tips for doing that over here!) and make room for some new goodies this season!
