While it may look intimidating from the outside, the guys inside this heavily wooden panelled step back in time are so friendly and helpful. As a woman it feels like all men's clothes look the same, but these guys will help you through the cuts and shapes or whatever these shirts are called with warmth and knowledge. OK, they aren't the cheapest menswear shop in town, but with their old club feel and service, they are up amongst the classiest.

Despite all the good reviews I've read about Joli, I was slightly disappointed by my experience…read more One article I recently read about it highlighted the proprietor's desire to provide a high level of customer service. Well I don't know if the sales assistant was having an off day, but I wasn't greeted, spoken to, or even smiled at, and I did feel slightly let down. There were only two other women in the shop at the time, so it wasn't as though I was asking a too much of her. Anyways, on a more positive note, the clothing is pretty stunning...the colours are gorgeous, and the prices are perhaps not as high as you might think. I didn't spot anything I particularly needed, but I did see a few key pieces for A/W 10...cute cardies, printed skirts, chunky knits and streamline dresses. The garments truly live up to their name, with 'Joli' meaning pretty in French. The entire upstairs was dedicated to sale stock, with up to 70% off summer wear. Kids clothing, menswear and womenswear are all incredibly discounted. Again, nothing particularly caught my eye, but it's definitely worth a look nonetheless. I can only hope that if I was to pay Joli a visit again, I would be greeted with a slightly better level of customer service. However, those clothes really are beaut, and if you're into your eclectic fashion, you'll find Joli pretty hard to beat, especially around these parts...

Ok, some of the stuff I wouldn't pay the money for in a zillion years (I'm a vintage lovin' girl) but some of the clothes in this lovely store are far too good to miss! Especially if you make down while there's a sale on - win! As I entered my eyes darted here and there spying goodies I couldn't wait to look at properly, some of the items were just screaming cool! Alongside the inevitable range of trendy jeans and gladiator sandals there were some very original pieces especially the SkunkFunk range. I'd say most people wouldn't be caught dead in some of it, but I loved it! Joli is worth the visit even if it is just of ogle over these amazing, well tailored clothes. I trooped upstairs to the sale section *woohoo!* and noticed the brilliant Quicksilver canvas trolley/school bag ...What? Do my eyes deceive me? £10! Yes please! It'll be brilliant for travelling, especially in airports etc. It's the perfect size for hand luggage and has straps attached which you can swap to when it's not convenient to pull it by the handle. I'm impressed. Wish I'd found this before I went to Romania and spent £30 in TK Maxx on a bog standard school bag to carry my camera! But anyway, bag mentally bought I continued on to their sale where everything is divided in to sections by colour coded price labels and by size. Perfect! I tried a different few things on, aided by the nice shop assistant, and although I didn't buy anything I certainly wanted to splurge my cash! I'll be back here when the shopping fund is topped up and can take some damage! So bag in hand I depart leaving all the lovely clothes behind *sad face* they can eagerly await my return with Victor Visa!

There are a number of branches of this store in Northern Ireland, this one in Ballyclare, the branch in Carrick, Westwood Centre, City Park Retail and Connswater. It is a popular store for teens and mums alike as they sell up to date trendy clothing for all ages. Students receive 10% off which is an added bonus for all those skint kids needing good value for money which Peacocks definitely provides. This shop is a sort of up market Primark which is popular with men/women/boys and girls.

Downstairs it is a bit of a trendy shop that isn't really up my street, but the staff are dead on, friendly and non intrusive. Upstairs it is a bit of a one-stop shop for school clothes. I was awarded honours for Drama when I was at school and went here to buy the special blazer, it was £90 which was a bit of a rip-off, but it was the only place you could buy the blazers so I don't really blame them for marking the prices up. Other than being a bit overpriced at times this is a good wee shop

And if that isn't love, well, I don't know... Baillies is a Bangor institution and has been around for over five decades, supplying the young, old and men somewhere in between with suits, trousers, shirts, t-shirts, jackets, coats and knitwear. Despite the prices being of a slightly higher nature, Baillies often has really good discounts (hence why my dad loves it so), and you'll find yourself surprised at the bargains available. And yes, I know you're thinking I'm female (and you'd be perfectly correct), but I've been in Baillies many times before...with my dad of course. If you're a pupil at one of Bangor's schools, you can be sure to find your uniform at Baillies. I can't speak for this aspect of the shop, as I went to school in Belfast, but it seems Robbie (the previous reviewer) has a fair grasp on everything school uniform related, so I'll let you read his for information about that. Baillies is a great little shop, with plenty of variety and great service. I just know my dad would be proud to hear me say that...
