    So, Brora. I know it's quite straight laced and a tad more expensive than a lot of places on the high street, but its high quality knits justify the price tag. Their V neck sweaters and floral print blouses aren't racy, but they're not staid or sensible either. Their ladies range is tasteful while also adding a touch of flair with lace trimmings, and contemporary while maintaining a level of sophistication. They have some cute, quaint kids stuff and some knitted cardi's for the guys. Overall I would say that the store specialises in grown up fashions that are wholesome without being boring. Their dresses and jumpers could be dressed up with various accessories, but their clothing ranges seem appropriate for all occasions. They keep their styles fresh but their garments are geared towards a cool and mature audience.

    For my birthday I was once given a wonderful pair of fingerless mittens bearing a Brora label, I wore them to death and they have definitely seen better days, so I decided to venture on down to the shop to source another pair. From the outside Brora looks like a nice shop with a middle class motherly sort of appeal, it specialises in cashmere and I am a sucker for cashmere. On entering all thoughts of gloves were instantly forgotten as I laid eyes on a beautiful knitted cashmere hoody, unfortunately I then looked at the price tag and discovered that my new found crush was going to set me back £250 - disappointment doesn't even begin to describe my feelings. I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to afford anything in here, so I'll just have to hope that my birthday presents get ever more extravagant as the years progress.

    Dick's Edinburgh - This is the Jamieson's Shetland wool fair isle jumper I purchased.

    I had it in mind to buy myself a fair isle jumper (in the U.S. we'd call it a pullover sweater)…read moreduring our trip to Scotland. I did some online research before we left home and learned that to be considered authentic, one of the requirements is that it be fashioned from Shetland wool, as opposed to cashmere, merino, or lambs wool. I found a very useful thread on Reddit that listed several reputable shops in Edinburgh (our base of operations while in Scotland), including this warning: "Whatever you do, don't go into any of the tat shops." Of course, then I had to ask Google what a "tat shop" was. In the United States, my guess would have been a tattoo parlor, but that didn't make sense. A "tat shop" is a souvenir store. I made some phone calls when we got to Edinburgh. Many stores in the UK are closed on either Monday/Tuesday or Tuesday/Wednesday, so that narrowed our choices. Other stores had no fair isle jumpers in stock. Still, I was undeterred and kept calling around. After only two or three calls, I reached Dicks Edinburgh and was told that they did have exactly what I was seeking. A few hours later, after we had toured Edinburgh Castle, we hopped into a cab and went straight there. My husband and I were the only customers, and the entire staff (two women and a man) were collectively attentive to us. It took me only a few minutes to decide on the perfect jumper. It was a lovely experience from start to finish. Dicks Edinburgh is clearly a quality clothing store, and I would not hesitate to shop there again.

    Like many I consider myself to have an individual-yet-trendy taste when it comes to fashion. After…read moreall I live in Edinburgh, a town not exactly shy of a few pretentious trendies, although in fairness it's either get fashionable or end up hanging around Cockburn Street thinking about black and wondering when Fall out Boy's next album is being released! So with the above in mind (the trendies, not the emos!), I tend to venture outwith the norm when it comes to fashion shopping on the Diesel, Lyle & Scott and Superdry-heavy streets of Edinburgh. And that's where Solo comes in. Short of jumping online, Solo should be any self-respecting man's first fashion port of call in the capital. Stocked with a diverse array of trendy-yet-seldom-seen-on-shelf brands such as Rough Justice, Caliban and Villain, also managing to keep the pricing reasonable compared to the likes of say Harvey Nics or Cruise. Definitely aimed at the smarter-dressed man, the size of the place appeals to the wee pretentious twat in me that appreciates the fact that whatever I buy from here won't be seen on every other Tom, Dick and Harry I pass on South Bridge! And the staff are more chatty and down-to-earth than you would expect from a vendor competing with the likes of the aloof Xile and the aforementioned Harveys, easing the minds of the more self-conscious out there. Solo by name, solo by nature. Worth a shout.

    Snagged a beautiful midnight linen shirt that was on sale! Gorgeous shop, neighborhood and clothes!read more

    My Dad was getting married last September and I finally convinced him that he would need a new suit…read morefor it. So we tralled Edinburgh before stumbling upon Slaters, and I am glad we did. This store stocks a huge amount of suits in every colour imaginable. As well as some other smart clothes, like your tweed coat yah. The service was fantastic, there are few shops which offer such a high standard of service. The shop assistant was very polite and listened to what my dad was looking for and came up with a tonne of options. He gave advice and was really helpful. We settled on the second suit my Dad tried, and the best thing is they alter for free! This was the Monday and the guy said we could pick up the altered suit on Saturday. As my Dad doesn't live in Edinburgh I said I would pick it up but it would be two weeks later as I was going on holiday on Saturday. Not a problem, he organised the suit to be ready for the Wednesday. My brothers picked up their suits from another branch of Slaters and they were just as good.

    Selling suits and formal wear for guys, Slaters is a well known name and they do fantastic quality…read moresuits some of which are very affordable indeed. My brother got his suit for his school leavers dance from Slaters and many of my friends have recently had to invest in a suit for Grad Balls and Slaters seems to be the most popular option. It also seems like the most wallet friendly option as a friend of mine got his suit for £80, I didn't realise you could get suits at such a bargain price! Prices range from under £100 to £200+ so it depends how flush you're feeling I guess. You don't have to go all out and buy a suit or kilt you can also hire them if you don't really need them all that much, just don't get carried away with the red wine.

    The rudest staff I ever experienced in my life. I was asked to move 4 times while I am buying…read moresouvenirs here. Three times while I am buying cookies and cap and one time while I am on the line to pay.The cashier told me that it was busy that is why, I told her it's not even busy and I am still choosing. I should have not buy the things i want to buy but I am already in line. I wont go here if you are a tourist or maybe it's just me cause I am Asian cause they are all smiles with other people.

    Okay so when tourists come to Edinburgh they love to buy tartan in any shape or form which means…read morethere is an abundance of tourist shops in the city. I normally take visitors to this store purely because its less annoying than the rest of the tourist tat shops. You know the ones I mean, the shops that blast bagpipe music out into the street all day and have See You Jimmy hats hanging off the window. For some reason these shops really annoy the locals. Thankfully Romanes and Paterson is not like that. Romanes and Paterson has been around since the 1860's, which is a good enough reason alone to support a historic business. The shop stocks cashmere, kilts, woolen goods, tartan gifts, shortbread, Edinburgh Castle Rock and whatever else it is tourists in Scotland like to buy. It really is ideal for tourists coming to Scotland who wish to purchase their souvenirs to take back home. Its much better than all those shops previously mention which just stock complete tat. There is also a cafe in the store which does a good afternoon tea and is waiter service. The only waiter service cafe on Princes Street I'm told, I guess that is probably true in a world full of Costas and Starbucks.
