It’s time to spruce up your winter OOTD
If you have holiday plans to go abroad and have a White Christmas, you better start shopping ASAP! Living in a tropical country where snow is non-existent makes it extra challenging to shop clothes for winter. Besides, who would want to wear 3 layers of clothes in a country as hot as the Philippines right? But if you love traveling, then winter clothes should be a staple in your wardrobe!
Here are the best places to shop for winter clothes here in Metro Manila!
UKAY-UKAY
Starting off with the cheapest place where you can get winter clothes in Manila, ukay-ukay!
Thrift shops are probably the best place to find clothes for winter, especially if you are on a budget after spending a big amount on your airline ticket and travel tour. Usually these shops get their clothes straight from foreign countries who have winter which gives you more options to choose from. If you don’t know any thrift shops, here’s some places where you can go:
1. Makati Cinema Square
Makati Cinema Square is a treasure trove for bargain hunters and is situated along Don Chino Roces Avenue. Every floor is packed with things to purchase, see, and do, so you could easily spend the whole day here. In addition to the reasonable prices, the store is well-organized and well-ventilated.

2. Anonas Mall
One of the best "ukay-ukay" locations in Manila is Anonas Mall, which has a large assortment of good quality items on display across a 4-storey structure. This store differs from the rest since it is exceptionally clean and tidy, sparing you from the cramped sensation you could get at certain ukay-ukay establishments.

3. Quiapo Market
The Quiapo Market Area, located in the center of Manila and directly behind the renowned Quiapo Church, is the best spot to go if you want to experience top-notch ukay shopping. The prices are reasonably low and you can also buy other things while you go shopping for winter clothes. We suggest? Try to refrain from spending the extra money and reserve some for nearby interesting activities instead!

4. Terranova
This Italian retail store is another good option to find winter clothes in Manila. As a global brand, Terranova follows the seasons just like other well-known retailers, yet the costs are still rather reasonable. The scarves, gloves, and hats in this store are excellent. You can still use your phone and take pictures while wearing their touchscreen gloves (the ones with a different fabric on the thumb and pointer). They have more winter jackets than coats, and a respectable puffer jacket will run you between Php 1,000 and Php 2,000, while an extra-warm jacket would cost you over Php 3,000.
