TL;DR
Nha Trang is not a shopping destination: clothing sizes run small, quality shoes and professional cosmetics are hard to find. For traditional ao dai or qipao, markets offer limited quality.
Nha Trang is not a serious shopping destination compared to cities like Dubai or Bangkok. Quality hair care products, decent footwear, and clothing in larger European sizes are very hard to find. It's better to bring essentials from home.
Clothing in local shops and markets is sized for petite frames. Tall or larger-sized men will struggle to find trousers that fit — sizes are very small by Western standards.
If you're looking for a quality Vietnamese-style qipao (ao dai with trousers) for women, skip the local markets in Nha Trang — the quality is poor. Look for dedicated tailors or clothing boutiques in the city instead.
