Where Mumbai gets dressed
The markets, streets and neighbourhoods that set the tone for street fashion in Mumbai, and what each one is good for.
Bandra West
Hill Road and Linking Road for stalls, Pali Hill and Chapel Road for the people you will end up photographing.
Colaba Causeway
Silver jewellery, export surplus and a pavement that works as a runway on Saturday evenings.
Kala Ghoda
Design stores and gallery openings. The art college crowd keeps it interesting.
Lokhandwala, Andheri
Where the television and casting crowd shops. Trend heavy, turned over fast.
Fashion Street, near Azad Maidan
Rows of stalls, student budgets, and bargaining as a sport.
What the weather allows
Humid for most of the year and properly wet from June to September. Linen, loose cotton and open collars are not a style choice here, they are survival. Suede is a winter thing, and winter is about three weeks long. If your sneakers are white, the monsoon will have an opinion.
When the city dresses up
Ganesh Chaturthi brings out the kurtas, Navratri fills the suburbs with chaniya cholis, and December is for sneaker events, gigs and weddings, often on the same weekend.
Names to know
Jaywalking started here. Superkicks opened its first store in the city, and VegNonVeg and Crepdog Crew both have doors in Mumbai. Most fits you will see on Vybemo mix one of those names with something from a stall on Hill Road, which is how the city has always dressed.
Shops and labels change. This was last checked in September 2026. If something here has closed, moved or opened, tell us and we will fix it.
The Mumbai fit
Oversized shirt worn open over a vest, relaxed trousers that can survive a train door, and the one good pair of sneakers. Or a cotton sari with a sleeveless blouse and kolhapuris, worn to the same cafe.
Would you rate it?Mumbai on Vybemo
A fit posted from Mumbai is rated out of 10 by real people across India. After 48 hours it is scored. The number stays with the person who posted it, and the public sees a word. How the rating works
Mumbai can also take its place in the weekly city battles, where fits are rated blind and the result comes out on Sunday. How city battles work
