There are hundreds of themes in Shopify, but not all themes are designed for fashion. A fashion theme needs to be big and bold, and it needs features where you can add several product variants to one clothing design. Some of the best themes for fashion are free, while some can cost you a fortune.
Here, we will take a look at the best themes on Shopify that were built for fashion stores. We will be providing you with both paid and free themes, and then you can make an informed decision after reading through our selections.
1. Mobilia
Mobilia is a theme where your slider occupies the entire width of the screen. It is packed with features like search engine optimization, free photos, social media icons, and mobile-responsiveness.
COST: $180
FEATURES:
- Full-width Instagram feed – if you post on Instagram, these posts will also show on your store and will occupy the entire width of the screen. This makes sense because people who view fashion products want to see large photos
- Product page video – you can upload videos in your product pages, not just on your home page. A good idea is to use video clips to show the dresses or clothes in action with a model.
- Full-width home page video – the home page has the capability to play videos on full width. You can also use sliders if you do not have a video of your products, and these photos will also use up the entire width of the screen.
- Multi-level menu – you can add drop downs on the menu so customers can easily navigate their way to the type of clothing they are looking for
2. Mr. Parker
This theme has four designs called Wardrobe, Sunset, Apothecary, and Desk. In all designs, you can add a clickable button on the sliders which will take a customer to the product page. The only difference between the themes is that some themes will let you upload a video on the homepage instead of a slider.
COST: $160
FEATURES:
- Product image zoom – customers can see a larger photo resolution if they hover their mouse on the product.
- Instagram feed – you can integrate your shop with your Instagram page. If you do, the things you post on your Instagram will show on your website, too.

- Product filtering – you can program a filtering option, so a customer just has to click on a drop-down to show products specific to what he is looking for. A customer can sort from low to high price, alphabetical, best-selling, by date, by color, and so much more.
3. Simple
This one has two designs called Light and Beauty. The Beauty design allows you to put a slider on your home page, while the Light one shows your products on your home page without a slider. Both designs are mobile-friendly, and both have the sidebar menu on the left.

4. Vantage
