Shopping the OC Way

High fashion meets SoCal's laidback style in Orange County, where you'll find all the latest trends and next season's hits now. Here's a quick take on how to shop - OC style.

Smart and stylish, fun and sporty, or quirky and unique... You'll find the look for all your fashion moods at Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza, collectively offering more high-end designers than Rodeo Drive. 

Go on a coastal shopping spree down scenic Pacific Coast Highway. Hit the beach cities' downtowns for kitchy souvenir shopping, art galleries, consignment finds and surfwear galore.  Along the way, Corona del Mar Plaza and Crystal Cove Promenade feature classic OC stores, one-of-a-kind boutiques and mouth-watering restaurants. 

If your companions are less than enthused by all the shopping possibilities, head to Downtown Disney® District, Irvine Spectrum Center or The Block at Orange.  These locations mix shopping with entertainment, from sports bars and skate parks to movie theatres, live music and family fun - plenty to keep them busy. 

In search of a completely different retail experience? The LAB and The CAMP are popular with OC insiders for Bohemian chic style, active wear and a fashion-forward look.  But, if mainstream classics are your perfect fit, The Market Place and Westfield Shoppingtown MainPlace are ideal.

Finally, remember to bring back gifts, original artwork, that OC t-shirt and SoCal-inspired home decor for everyone else on your list.  There are plenty of nearby outlets if you've splurged too much on yourself.  Don't worry, we won't tell!
