The Social Outfit
A much-loved social-enterprise fashion store on King Street in Newtown, Sydney, with a near-perfect 4.9 rating.
Why it's worth checking out
The Social Outfit sits on King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's most vibrant, eclectic inner-west suburbs. A much-loved fashion store and social enterprise, it's a genuinely special spot — offering quality, colourful fashion and design while providing employment and training to people from refugee and new-migrant communities, the kind of feel-good, community-minded store that's become a beloved part of Newtown.
The appeal is that combination of quality, distinctive fashion and a genuine social mission: shopping for vibrant clothing and pieces while supporting a social enterprise that creates real opportunities for its community. For anyone after stylish fashion with a feel-good story behind it, it's a wonderful spot, and the near-perfect feedback speaks to a store that genuinely delights its customers.
A 4.9 rating from more than 100 reviews is an excellent result and a strong sign of a well-loved, well-run store. The range, stock, opening hours and pricing vary, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for some distinctive fashion and the good feeling of supporting a genuine social enterprise, it's well worth a visit to the Social Outfit on King Street in Newtown.
