Bauhaus has plenty of quirky collections from hip streetwear brands such as Tough Salad, Buddhist Punk, Rock and Republic, True Religion, Tokidoki and Energie, to name a few. Look for distressed wallets, colorful belts and other accessories with attitude if the clothes seem a little extreme.

This chain store has branches across Hong Kong and is great for basics such as vests and T-shirts. The clothes are decent quality and reasonably priced. For teenagers entering the workplace, its office collection is large and varied. Youth label EDC features cute skirts and casual tops with a punk influence. The men's collection has quirky logo tees, preppy polo shirts and loose-fit khaki shorts and trousers.

European brand H&M has been drawing the crowds with disposable fashion, designed to last about a season. The quality is okay, prices are low and styles are bang up to date - perfect for fashion-conscious (and growing) teens who can buy an entire new party outfit for less than $500. Women's, men's and children's wear available. Prepare to queue at weekends.

The signature look is the Juicy Couture velour tracksuit - a must for any teenage girl who wants to dress down in style. Also look for brightly colored handbags with cute motifs and funky, high-end casual wear. Strictly for girls.
