My style is usually minimal and this store hits all the dots and considering average prices in Oz this place is quite reasonable for quality clothing and good style. I am going to Berlin and Sweden soon, and I got inspired from some of the labels to look out for on my trip. The hidden factor makes me feel just that bit more special, since I walked by this place who knows how many times without realizing its presence.

The clothes at Somewhere are sleek, simple, and very on trend. The menswear section is mostly stocked with jeans, chinos, plaid shirts and pocketed t's. The prices range widely, but in general, it's quite well priced when compared to many of Melbourne's similarly styled and themed fashion stores. Somewhere also has a very decent selection of shoes and accessories, like hats, ties, sunglasses and scarves. The staff are great (helpful and attentive, but genuine with their recommendations and not pushy).

So don't be turned off by the name! This is a great place to shop for a man of any style - you can get some great basics like jeans and plain tees, but then also head down the relaxed-surfer-skater path if you choose. I love all the sunnies that they stock in the window and while this is specifically a store for men, I have purchased a few pairs in my time. Perfect for that sunny day at a festival. The staff are lovely and are happy to let you browse around and the prices are very reasonable.

Sometimes more. Well worth a look.

The fabrics are high quality and luxurious, with terrific textures that you just can't stop touching. I had to restrain myself but walked out with a beautiful grey marle sweater that I've worn dozens of times in the first month since purchase. I love that the items here are things you don't see everywhere (even in the big smoke of Melbourne!) so you can be assured of a purchase that is unique and special.

Coming from the UK, shopping here is akin to shopping at TK Maxx. There are lines and lines of racks and there is treasure to be found in amongst the rest of the very run of the mill stuff. You could easily spend a good half an hour looking for bargains here. There are huge discounts and if you endure it will be well worth your search.

From great quality cardigans that won't lose their shape, to quirky dresses to fashion-forward tops and bottoms with the cutest prints. This is one store that doesn't shy away from prints. In fact, Friends of Couture seems to thrive on prints. If you're serious about dots, stripes, hearts, bows, checks, horses, owls, bears, moose, deer and cats, you'll love the stuff here. If you hate these prints - go elsewhere! Serious, monochromatic-addicts will hate it here. I love the quirky patterns, vintage inspired buys and spin-offs on classic prints that this shop does so well. Plus, it carries a good selection of handbags and accessories to complete your outfit with. Always make sure to check the back racks for sale products. Very often you'll find that perfect dress, scarf or cardi just waiting to be brought home by you.
