If there’s one stereotype about Australia that rings true in Perth, it’s that people seem to love working out; maybe it’s the year-round sunshine or the naturally blessed terrain of the city, but chances are the chic activewear on offer also plays a role in Perth’s sporty reputation. Whether you’re looking for a new wetsuit or running shorts, HyperLuxe in North Beach has you covered with practical, flattering and design-led pieces that make the prospect of exercise a little more appealing.

Perth’s answer to the Champs-Élysée and Rodeo Drive, King Street is where you’ll find all the usual fashion suspects; Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton and the like line either side of this idyllic street. It might be our imagination, but everything on this street takes on a very alluring glow. If you’re not quite living that Givenchy life yet, between the eye-watering prices of the shops you’ll find some cute cafés ideally located for people-watching of the rich and fabulous.

Geographically isolated and running on a calendar as laid-back as its culture, fashionable boutique brands are slow to arrive in Perth, but Ooh La La in Fremantle is bucking the trend. Following through on its mission of supporting and sourcing the best new emerging national and international designers with a focus on sustainably produced clothing, Ooh La La stocks big names such as Simon Miller and Jerome Dreyfuss alongside smaller independent brands including Ulla Johnson and Lucy Folk. You’re looking at a hefty price tag, but if you’re fashionable in Perth, chances are you shop at Ooh La La.

Located in an upscaled warehouse in East Perth, Arrival Hall offers the homeware of your dreams. The humble business is run by Lisa and Clem who live on the top two floors of the store and are always on hand to answer questions. Expect a Scandi palette of natural materials including wood, marble and leather. With big investment pieces such as shelving units and couches and smaller bits (that can fit in your suitcase) like kitchenware, candles and stationery, Arrival Hall sells everything on your Pinterest board. Come weekend, in-house kitchen space Clem serves delicious coffees for a small donation, all of which goes to charity.

Founded in 1999, Elroy has stood proudly as a vintage haven for so long it’s become almost as much a part of Perth as the city’s beaches.

With an edit of vintage and international brands, the shop is highly curated and highly covetable so you won’t be leaving empty handed.
