When it comes to buying clothes in Rome, Italy, the best bargains are in clothing stores, outlets, and vintage markets.
The first part of this post focuses on what are the best clothing stores in Rome. In terms of variety and style, they do not have much to envy the boutiques.
The stores are larger than the clothing shops dotting the narrow streets of Rome’s historic center.
They also allow you to buy clothes for women, children, and men at reasonable prices. You will find some both in the historic center and in the suburbs.
Rome’s shopping outlets, on the other hand, are located outside the city; I will explain how to reach them even by public transportation in the second part of the article.
I have already talked in detail about flea markets in my article on the city’s vintage markets.
In this post, you will discover insider tips for enjoying the most affordable shopping in Rome.
MY FAVORITE CLOTHING STORES IN ROME
These are almost all clothing store chains found not only in Rome but throughout Italy. They have clothing for men, women, kids, plus sizes, and maternity dresses.
These stores sell clothes for every season including swimwear, underwear, and shoes (although they do not specialize in shoes).
COIN – POPULAR DEPARTMENT STORE IN ROME
This is a historic Italian clothing store chain founded in Venice by Vittorio Coin in the early 1900s.
The store in Rome is spread over several floors and has an escalator. Inside you will find clothing from many different brands for men women and children. and cosmetics as well.
Probably the brand Coin holds the best department stores in Italy.

OVIESSE – THE BEST CHEAP CLOTHES SHOPPING IN ROME
Oviesse sells everyday clothes and shoes as well as classic and more formal office-appropriate ones. It is one of the most popular clothing stores in Rome. The quality of the fabrics is good at affordable prices for everyone, there are also offers all year round.
I go to this store quite often and I can always find what I’m looking for, in particular, there are many styles of jeans and T-shirts made from organic cotton.
Addresses: Via del Tritone 172 | Metro Barberini Via Candia 74 | Metro Ottaviano Piazza Vittorio Emanuele 108 | Metro Vittorio Emanuele
BENETTON
Go to Benetton department stores in Rome if you are looking for high-quality fabrics such as cotton and wool and want to buy them from an Italian company.
Another highlight of these stores is the large number of colors in which the garments are available. The company claims to use non-toxic colors in the dyes, an appreciable factor since there is also a children’s clothing line.
Addresses: Via Cola di Rienzo, 193 | Metro Ottaviano Via del Corso 413 | Metro Spagna Via Nazionale 174 | Metro Cavour Piazza di Trevi 91 | Metro Barberini
H&M ROME
This store is always very busy and especially by the very young. The reason is the presence of lots of casual clothing (although there is no shortage of dresses and shirts) at low prices.
If you go there on weekends you will find it full, better to visit on a weekday: you will find the merchandise sorted and the salespeople more helpful.
There is a large assortment of accessories such as bags, hats, and fashion jewelry.
Addresses: Via del Corso 422 | Metro Spagna Via di Valle Aurelia 30 | Metro Valle Aurelia
BERSHKA
In recent years this store with its own line offers a style directed at teenagers. The style is fresh and young, although you can find basic garments that suit everyone.
Address: Via Ottaviano, 48 | Metro Ottaviano
KIABI
I go to this store on the outskirts of Rome very often to buy clothes for my young daughter. The prices are very affordable, the style is simple. You can find everything there but customers love sweatshirts, sweaters and everyday pants, school and sporty clothes.
Addresses of Kiabi stores Via Andrea Barbato 31 Via Enrico Ferri 43
CONBIPEL
Conbipel stores were born and became famous for selling excellent quality leather clothing at good prices.
Today they also sell clothing in cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers. Here you can find clothes for all occasions.
This brand focuses on quality at reasonable prices. The stores are large and well-stocked. There is also a good assortment of handbags, shoes, and genuine leather belts.

THE 2 BEST SHOPPING OUTLETS IN ROME
Outlets were created to give big brands the opportunity to dispose of old collections but currently, they also represent an independent sales channel.
Just outside Rome, there are 2 outlet villages where you can spend whole days looking for branded clothes at bargain prices. These outlets near Rome are open every day.
VALMONTONE OUTLET VILLAGE
This is the most popular shopping outlet in Italy. To reach it, one must drive along the Via Casilina all the way past the medieval village of Valmontone.
The outlet village’s architecture is inspired by art deco. You will find more than 180 stores boasting discounts from 30 to 70 throughout the year.
Here you will also find footwear, accessories, housewares, and electronics.
The brands on display include big names in Italian fashion such as Luisa Spagnoli, Sandro Ferrone, Enrico Coveri, Nuvolari and Trussardi.
There is a food court with restaurants and street food. Valmontone Outlet is located very close to Rainbow Magicland amusement park.
How to get to Valmontone Outlet:
Take a Trenitalia train from Roma Termini to Valmontone (about a 40-minute ride, the ticket costs €3). From Valmontone train station, take the Outlet Village shuttle (which operates Wednesday through Sunday).
The shuttle leaves the station at 11:15 am and 2 pm and returns to the station at 5 pm and 7:15 pm. Each ride costs €1.
