    Hey, dunno about you guys, but I have noted a huge improvement in the range available at River Island (for their dressy casual stuff) and New Look (for their officey stuff and their shoes), and they are definitely my fave high street shops at the moment?

    I'd hate to think I was missing out on something, so please tell me, what's you fave high street store? And whats their speciality?

    all clothes shops are driving me mad lately tbh, I haven't found anything really nice in months.

    Oasis has some gorgeous stuff at the moment, but it has got seriously pricey. I actually can't afford to shop there regularly any more.

    I adore the big TopShop on St Stephen's Green.

    I don't really like highstreet stuff, I find it anything in those stores that's actually nice is usually pricey!Maybe I just have expensive taste. :p Most of it is generic rubbish anyway. I'd say River Island and A Wear are about the best IMO. Usually I'd buy one off tops on Ebay and stuff like that(rare band t shirts reworked into women's garmets etc), such great value too. I find Penneys good for scarves and little accessories to smarten things up. Incredibly broke at the moment, no new clothes for me for a long time. :(

    I really like River Island, but the dressy stuff more than the casual stuff.

    Reiss and A-Wear depending on whether it's smart or casual


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,649 ✭✭✭Catari Jaguar


    River Island for the shoes and A Wear for the work clothes, going out tops and the fab short leg denim range

    pull & bear , and h&m when i get to dublin!

    I think Oasis is the best high street store at the moment. Really good quality and do really nice clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. I do think it is very expensive recently though but I have been buying their stuff because its hard to find anything else and I think a lot of the high street stores have gone down hill a lot lately.

    I think that River Island coats and shoes are lovely but i'm not a big fan of their day wear. Topshop in Stephens Green is really nice too !!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,846 ✭✭✭✭eth0_


    Topshop because you can find lots of unusual pieces, and Oasis for good quality staples like jeans.

    I've found topshop jeans don't last very long :-/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,220 ✭✭✭✭Loopy


    Topshop
    Oasis
    Warehouse

    But, Im just not into this floral thing thats going on at the moment and its everywhere :rolleyes:

    French Connection has to be my favorite. I' a big fan of their quality


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,420 ✭✭✭JaneyMc


    H&M, New Look, Bershka.

    New Look is greeeat for shoes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 494 ✭✭meowCat


    All high street shops do the same stuff. It's hard to find something individual on the high street. And even basics are often bad quality.

    A-Wear for a few casual bits....
    Oasis for some jeans and the odd nice top...
    Monsoon and Coast for dressier stuff (but I get most of it on eBay)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    I adore Topshop! Especially the more unusual pieces like Chupi, Laura Lee, Bazaar and Traffic People, you can find some great pieces there! Quite pricey though.


    I think the Crafty Couture and Swwet 'n Sour ranges are very cute too.
