Peacocks is a really good shop in a town where there are not too many clothing shops…read more The thing I like about peacocks is that it keeps up with the latest fashion trends but still manage to keep the prices down. They sell clothes, accessories, lingerie and footwear for men, women and children. The Hinckley store is a good size and stocks a good range of all the above. They do only have 2 changing rooms so you can be queuing for a while during peak times but as I work nearby I tend to go in the week when it isn't so busy. It is located next to Wilkinson in the Britannia Centre. The staff are friendly and helpful enough and is probably one of the most affordable clothes shops in hinckley.

Dorothy Perkins is located in the bottom part of Castle Street. Hinckley is lacking in good clothes…read moreshops and Dorothy Perkins is probably the 2nd best clothes store in the town. It is quite a good sized shop but recently i have found the clothes they sell are a little bit 'dowdy'. They tend to stock alot of workwear (trousers, shirts, v-neck jumpers etc) but nothing really very trendy. The footwear section is quite good, they also have a small lingerie selection (mainly knickers) and a small jewellery section. The staff are friendly enough but every time you make a purchase they try to sign you up for their account card which really annoys me. All in all, not a bad shop but I think if you need an outfit for a special occasion you will be best to take a trip over to the larger Fosse Park store.

Mission is located on Castle Street in Hinckley. It is one of the best independant clothing shops…read morein the town selling labels such as French Connection, Bench, firetrap. The shop sells about equal amounts of mens and womens clothes and have a good selection of footwear too. Unfortunately, being a size 16, they tend not to have too many clothes that I can buy which is a real shame but they do have accessories such as belts, bags, wallets etc and some very cool shoes that all seem to be reasonably priced for the labels they sell. One downside was that the last time I went in the shop I wanted to buy a pair of boots and although I asked for different sizes/colours the staff on duty did not seem particularly helpful or interested in serving me and after a while I gave up and instead ordered the same boots online. I really believe that good customer service is vital - espeically in independant stores and Mission was really lacking in this.
