Clothing is widely available in Qum, with quality having improved significantly over time. While some students prefer bringing clothes from their home countries due to differences in quality, price, and design, there are many good options for purchase locally. Bazar Buzurg and other shopping centres previously mentioned are great places to find affordable clothing, as is the area around the shrine of Lady Masumah (a), which has a wide variety of shops and choices. Stores in more modern malls and on streets like Safayeh and Salarieh offer higher quality clothing, though at higher prices, not only because of the superior quality, but also due to the location.
Hawzah students can find appropriate attire at the Saheb al-Zaman Shopping Mall, which specialises in such clothing. For ladies, numerous chador shops and tailors can be found on the second floor of the Musa ibn Jafar Shopping Centre. The Kuwaiti Arcade (Passage Kuwaiti), located opposite the shrine of Lady Masumah (a), is a three-storey shopping mall with many stores on the first floor dedicated to sports clothing and equipment. As for shoes, many shops are situated around the shrine, but for a larger variety and higher quality shoes, the basement level of the Hujjat Shopping Mall is highly recommended.
