River Island - Pricy but nice clothes

Advantages: Good ranges, fashionable, neat stores
Disadvantages: Expensive

River Island sells a very nice range of clothes and is one of my favourite clothing retailers on the high street. They often sell tight fitting T-shirts and jeans for those who like tight fitting clothing, but also do a nice range of hoodies and cardigans that go nicely with anything. I have found that I am really not a fan of the T-shirts and accessories they sell, as they often model around an 'emoish' style, which I am not really into. However, ...
...quality is much better from River Island than other stores. In comparison to other high street clothing retailers, they are a little more expensive than your average shop, but with that also means an increase in the quality of clothing on sale. For items like hoodies, I prefer to buy from River Island than a lot of other stores, because I would want the quality to show. I would not buy other clothing like socks from there though because there isn't ...

Topman Clothing

Advantages: New Vintage Range Is Pretty Darn Good
Disadvantages: Weird Pricing system: Some bargains / Some Scary prices

The thing with Topman is that it's like the new M&S; perfect for the basics but you'd never really go their expecting to spend too much. What I generally do is google 'Topman Voucher Codes' and you can often get anything from 20% off to free express delivery which is pretty good. As long as your whole warerobe doesnt come from their your ok. You should always mix-up vintage and modern items to make your own style. I love thei new Vintage editions ...
...Rather than expanding into the american market Ideally a move into a fairtrade section ( but keeping prices reasonable) would be perfect. In conclusion, even though I run a vintage store, i still rely on Topman for the essentails and is probably the best 'trendy' shop on the UK high street at the moment. www.thriftybeatnik.co.uk ...

Rubbish cotton & cashmere sweater

Advantages: great idea, great style & colour
Disadvantages: poor quality control & badly made

...& I also discovered the Massimo Dutti shop in the Mall of the Emirates, which looked amazing for the clothes on sale ( made in Spain & not China ) & the Spanish speaking staff who served me . I purchased a cashmere & cotton V neck sweater for 205AED, which I thought was a great buy, till after wearing it for the first time, a large hole opened up under the right sleeve. It seems that although the knitted fabric had been over locked, some SLOPPY machinist ...
...denied..SOME CUSTOMER SERVICE !! Since then on discovery of the hole in this garment, I am happy not to have purchased any more rubbish from this company..At least in China, they do make some rubbish quality clothing but their quality control is better than Massimo Dutti ! ...

Review of Massimo Dutti (Shop)

nearly everything you need under one roof.........

Advantages: see above
Disadvantages: see above

...Disadvantages: You need your Matalan card Matalan ~~~~~~ Womens department ~~ I would highly recommened matalan for womens clothes as they seem to have a high range of great quality clothes for bargain prices. I picked up a lurvly red jacket in there last week reduced from £20 to just £5, but I would have definatly paid the £20 for it :o) They have clothes for older women like my nans age, such as skirts and pretty but not overly trendy tops. And ...
...quite likes the clothes in matalan and will often come away with a few nice tops. Like the womens sections there's clothes sutible for all ages, and they do a fab range of winter coats for men. The sizes like the womens are really good. They do PJ's and underwear for men too and it's all reasonably priced. They do have a footwear range for men but I haven't liked any I have seen but that's my opinion :o) Childrens department ~~~~~ This is great they ...
