Cooshti is an awesome shop on Park Street that sells some really cool clothes and ranges that you…read morewon't find anywhere else in Bristol. It is probably the last really cool clothing shop left on Park Street. The style and clientele Cooshti caters for is definitely more urban that many high streets shops in Bristol. You'll find baggy jeans and some over sized t-shirts and shirts - quite unlike most shops nowadays. They also sell some seriously cool trainers which again, you'll struggle to find elsewhere in Bristol. I rarely buy stuff from Cooshti, but thats because its not really my style and unfortunately park Street doesn't have the appeal it used to for fashion/. But when I'm in the area I'll always go in and check out what they've got. It will be a sad day if Cooshti ever dropped off Park Street.

It took at least three visits before discovering that there was a women's department in the back of the shop! There's many labels on display here; Nike, Levis and Diesel to name but a few, all accompanied by a designer tag. The men and women who work here all look fantastically cool and wear their stock to the best of their ability. There's a great mix of footwear, dresses, t-shirts and hoodies with the odd one-off. Sizes are fairly small (nothing above a 14) which is disappointing, and I would say it's better for boys than it is for girls. Bit too label loving for my blood, but worth a look if street wear is your bag.

Ede and Ravenscroft is one of those shops that really belongs in Oxford. It's a little glimpse into…read morethe past and into the world of esteemed traditional businessmen. I reckon most people who go in are just curious at the idea of a traditional tailors, and it's a refreshingly quiet change to similar shops in London. It specialises in menswear, but I've had a browse around for cufflinks and ties as presents for male friends and family members. Unfortunately for me, the price is high for such quality products, so I remain an admiring window shopper. There is a 10% discount for students, so it's a good place for interview or internship clothes, or even for sub-fusc, if you want quality clothes that will last. It also caters for academics, legal professions and even clerical outfits. You can treat it as a normal shop or get professionally measured and have clothes tailor-made. Great fun to browse around, but definitely not an everyday shop.

The Ede & Ravenscroft branch on High Street is most likely the best choice for suit, shirts and…read moreformal wear in Oxford. As part of the Ede & Ravenscroft tailoring house in London's Old Burlington Street, not only does the Oxford shop offer ready-made suits, sweaters, ties, shirts and accessories, they are also able to deliver custom-made shirts and suits and to my knowledge -at least until recently- had a tailor coming in for bespoke clothes. The choice of clothes and formal wear is quite remarkable for a small city like Oxford, and with quite a few well-off kids joining the local university each year, there definitely is demand for a shop like E & R. They do provide a great variety of dinner suits, and since every student at Oxford University at some point during his university life requires a dinner suit, this would be my recommended place to get it from. And students even get a 10 percent discount (at least they got it during my student time).

Of all the sights to see when visiting Oxford, this store should also be on your list. I had the…read moremisfortune of my luggage being lost on a trip to Oxford and by chance happen to walk past this store. I live in the United States and if they had a store near me... I would likely visit them at least once a month. When you walk in, it might seem small. They have quite a bit to choose from downstairs from dress shirts to dress shoes. But go upstairs and you will find everything you could possibly need for a men's wardrobe. My first time visiting Walters, I needed everything since all of my luggage was lost. Everything from a suit down to the shoes, socks and belt. But this isn't any kind of department store clothing shop. Here you will only find the highest quality material and if you have the time, get it custom made. On my first visit, I just needed something to wear for the next day and was able to get an off the rack jacket, trousers, dress shirts, shoes, belt and socks. They are more than happy to help you pick out an ensemble if you want help. I first met Sara when I discovered they can have family crests made to put on a jacket. For years I have tried and tried other places but the crest always comes out looking nothing like the original graphic. But I saw some examples and she was able to get some made. It was as simple as uploading an image of the crest and what I received back, looked exactly like the photo but it looks hand stitched and of the highest quality I have ever seen. When I had the patch, I decided to get a custom fitted jacket. In addition to a wonderful selection of jackets you can buy off the rack, they have an extensive selection of materials you can chose from and get a custom fitted suit and/or jacket. I was fortunate to be helped by Tom Shirley who measured me completely for the jacket and took care of all the details. I have jackets made in places like Hong Kong but never with this much detail put into it. Not only was there a wide array of buttons to choose from, but this was the first time I have ever picked the lining and the lining under the collar. There was no detail too small when it came to designing my jacket. I have been back to Oxford several times and each time, I always stop off to see Tom and see what else I can add to my wardrobe. Although a men's store, I was so pleased with the jacket displaying my family crest, on the last visit, my daughter was able to get fitted for jackets bearing the crest as well. Of course London is know for high quality men's shops, but if you are in Oxford, and you enjoy quality clothing, you will want to make time to stop by here.

I travelled from Ireland to Oxford the day before the wedding only to discover the suit trousers didn't fit.

I collected them and the wedding went off without a hitch! HUGE THANKS to both Ben & Martin for all their assistance!

I can't say I was very impressed with the Boxing Day sale this year (Dec 2018), when I went two…read moreyears ago I got some great deals. We arrived at 06:45am to an already almost packed car park. By 9am we were done and ready to go home, people arriving were being turned around as the overflow car park was filled so they were being bused from the park and ride car park way down the road. Bed smart, arrive ridiculously early. Especially if you want Gucci or Prada deals. The queues were already mental before the shops opened. Other than that, some great stores, and have your passport ready for VAT refund services available on the same day you buy all your goodies, don't wait until the airport!

I hit a few when I was there but by far the best was Max Mara! They had soooo much stock and everything was very well priced! I also love the way they have designed the mall - it's all outside, very beautiful and the bathrooms are such high quality. There is also really great food there! Although we didn't eat there this time. If you're in the area or even close enough to drive or get a train I'd highly recommend heading over to get some great bargains!

This truly hidden gem is an absolute must for vintage fans in Gloucestershire. Over Christmas I had…read morethe pleasure of visiting home few a week or so and on my final day in the 'shire my Dad and his girlfriend took me to Cirencester for a brief shop before catching my train. We had a browse around quite a few gorgeous indie shops and had planned to rendezvous in a near by coffe shop, as my Dad had gone to look in some less feminine stores. En route to our meeting point he discovered She Unique and insisted on going via the shop before we stopped for coffee and cake. I can't tell you how glad I was that we did so. Although it's about the size of a wardrobe it is absolutely filled to brim with delights. The window display alone is enough to draw one in, with all manner of sparkling pearls and couture style shoes, but once inside you can get a sense of the true vintage items that await you. I particularly fell for one item, a gorgeous hand-made 1920s vintage wedding dress. Oh my goodness it was delightful, utterly beautiful and an absolute steal at £70. Amongst other gorgeous finds were a number of different beautiful shoes, dresses, skirts, quirky playing cards, boxes of jewellery and fascinators and more than I could possibly remember or type. The proprietor was delightful and had plenty of history to tell about the various items that I coveted. She informed me that she is affiliated with the local re-enactment society as well and there's quite a lot happening on the vintage scene in good old Cirencester. If you've yet to discover this gorgeous shop yourself, I suggest you take a weekend to wander around the gorgeous streets of Ciren, and make a stop off here for something out of the ordinary, antique and beautiful.
