Living in San Jose will make you a fan of shopping. Featuring some of the best shopping destinations in the entire state, people drive from all across California just to hit up boutiques and stores in this neighborhood. As a new transplant, you may have some problems finding where to get the latest fashions, so we created a list of the top places for San Jose shopping.

Crossroads Trading

Are you looking to score some great bargains on clothing for a big date or your first day at work? Look no further than Crossroads Trading, a local favorite on Blossom Hill Road. Although the shop offers some vintage goodies from designers like Chanel, you'll also find a number of newer designs thrown into the mix. Crossroads Trading is one of the only places where you'll see cowboy boots and comfortable sweaters in the same shop as funky dresses and athletic gear. You can even make some extra money when you consign some of your own fashions to the shop.

Gilroy Premium Outlets

Outlet shopping in San Jose appeals to those who want to find the biggest bargains without waiting for a sale. Gilroy Premium Outlets, which is on Leavesley Road, is a great place to save on new clothes and more. With more than 100 shops under one roof, this outlet mall is so popular that some come back week after week. The Disney Store offers a wide selection of merchandise featuring characters like Mickey Mouse and the girls of Frozen, while the Oakley Vault lets you save on sunglasses. Other popular stores in this outlet mall include Polo, Reebok, Adidas, Rue 21, Ann Taylor, and Converse.

Westgate Center

Gilroy Premium Outlets is not the only game in town when it comes to shopping malls. Westgate Center on Saratoga Avenue lets you take care of all your needs in just one stop. It's the only mall in town that boasts both a Target and a Walmart. Both of those stores let you stock up on groceries, fill your prescriptions, and find some new decorations for your home. You can then mosey down the strip to find stores like Party City, Old Navy, and Any Mountain.

Underground Fashion Boutique

While Westgate Center and Gilroy Premium Outlets offer a number of great stores and bargains, sometimes you just want to shop off the beaten path. A visit to the Underground Fashion Boutique will make you feel like you're a fashion insider. Located on North Second Street in San Jose, this shop offers clothing and accessories for men and women. It's the type of place where you'll find skinny jeans for women on racks right near funky button up shirts for guys, with a few hats, scarves, and shoes thrown in for good measure.

Moving to a new city like San Jose can make you feel a little worried about how you'll fit in with the locals. But when you shop at the same stores as the longer term residents, you'll feel like you lived in San Jose for years.
