Where to get affordable 'fantamafabulous' clothes

Cut your coat according to your size, literally. There's this habit that struck my attention for months now, and I think this is the right time to address it.

Dear human beings, why do you put on under and oversized clothes in this day and time? Why? Why? Why? What's wrong with knowing and acknowledging the perfect size that you should work with?

Men, Putting on a trouser that is above your ankle slightly near your 'mazgwembe' with your socks showing, should be declared a crime. If you need to wear such trousers, please leave your socks and official shoes at home.

Ladies, know your body enough to avoid embarrassment. Putting on a small dress that divides your body should stop.

Shop regularly, be kind enough to donate the clothes that don't fit you anymore. Identify a children's homer or a person in need, you'll be blessed.

Here's where you can get affordable fitting clothes

1. Nairobi CBD

This is the best place to buy your clothes. It is a central place, you probably go to the CBD every day to run other errands. With a wide range of shops, including hawkers who sell clothes as low as sh50.

From 6 pm the CBD is busy as bees, you can get a whole outfit for an event in one stretch. The advantage of buying from the hawkers is that you have higher bargaining power as compared to buying from the shops.

Whenever you are at the CBD, instead of queueing waiting for your bus, walk around and buy clothes.

2. Gikomba Market

Number one secret of shopping at Gikomba is making it to the Market by 6 am. At this time, sellers open up their bales which have first-hand clothes and they are affordable too.

This market has a wide range of clothes, from official to casual wear. With Sh500, you can walk out of Gikomba with a whole new wardrobe.

3. Eastleigh

At Eastleigh, you get a wide variety of clothes at a wholesale price. A pair of trousers sold at Sh1000 at expensive socks, you can actually purchase 3 pairs of trousers at Sh1200, inst that amazing news today?

Save the money and take advantage of the clothes sold on wholesale.

4. Ngara

While at the CBD, walk towards Thika Road, and you'll be amazed at what you'll see. At Ngara, they have all kinds of clothes. They might be a bit expensive but they'll be worth the money.


TIP: While shopping, have loose money to avoid back and forths, wear comfortable clothes and be keen. Hawkers are always on the run to avoid City County officials, pay after you have received your clothes.
