How it's used
Refers specifically to smaller, often independent shops that curate a selection of trendy or fashionable clothing. While large chain stores are often called 衫舖 or 服裝店, this term carries a slightly more upscale or stylish connotation. It is common to see this term used for shops in areas like Causeway Bay or Tsim Sha Tsui that focus on specific styles rather than mass-market retail.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with a department store, which is usually called 百貨公司. Using this term for a generic clothing stall in a market would sound unnatural.
