In the wonderful world of Bicester, you don't have to be related to the Royal Family to share in this sort of fashion. For those of you not acquainted with Thomas Pink (and nor was I before living in Oxford), it specialises in shirts, ties, and knitwear, with all the associated items such as cufflinks and posh sports shirts. With respect to shirts, it's a little like Jaeger in that it caters from casual to posh, except here posh is full on 'evening shirt' probably costing around £250 SRP (although cheaper in this branch!). Casual shirts start at around £45 SRP, although most cost more. Again, in this bargainous branch you can sometimes pick them up for as little as £25. And really, if you can get a top-notch shirt to show-off, you might as well! They even do men's boxers if you really want to show off, but be prepared for comments (positive and negative) when you have 'PINK' emblazoned across your waist. And, let's face it, if you're wearing smart clothes from here, your boxers probably won't be sticking a mile over the top of your trousers anyway.

Personally, I don't find it too interesting, but there are men who swear by them for their office shirts and they certainly seem to last a long time. The shop does smart coats and suits as well and the service is impeccable. If you want the city look without city prices (it's still far from cheap, but the clothes here are often quite heavily discounted), definitely give it a look.
