It wouldn’t be a trip to Rio without picking up some of the city’s famous beachwear. For the most stylish bikinis, head to Lenny—just be mindful that the Brazilian bottoms leave less to the imagination. For men, Blue Man is a must, whether you prefer a sleek and solid suit or one printed with bananas. But the best shopping in Rio de Janeiro isn’t limited to swimwear: Aquim is doing its part to put Brazil on the map for fine chocolates (and while they’re at it, divine packaging). Any serious furniture collector (or even an aspiring one) is duty-bound to visit Mercado Moderno, with their artfully arranged Brazilian and international antiques. No Rio de Janeiro shopping guide is complete without a mention of Havaianas, where it is nearly impossible to choose just one of nearly 100 colorful rubber flip flops. Though they’re now an international fad, you’ll still feel coolest (and get the best deal) when purchasing them straight from the source.
