We stumbled down a small cobblestone street in Richmond last weekend and found ourselves in this…read morefantastic little store! Heroes stocks men's clothing and accessories from some traditional as well as up and coming British brands. The store manager was very knowledgable about each line, discussing what each brand was known for and why. But, he was never pushy, it was a really pleasant conversation. We didn't buy anything that day, but we will definitely pop by to see what they have the next time we find ourselves in the neighborhood!

Old Hat is *the* place for vintage menswear / vintage men's suits. It's a great shop. My boyfriend…read morewas always moaning that East London and other vintage shops just don't have really high class, proper matching suits for *all* sizes (he's quite slim and not a big tall buff guy, if you know what I mean but not a whippet either), he always finds it hard to get fitted suits that are vintage. This place is now his mecca. The attire is proper gentlemen's clothes / suits and something a little more special than some of the trash in East London or the cheap nonsense in Central London. If you are a man and a fan of vintage clothes, this should be your first stop - these guys pride themselves on specialising on vintage suits and they really are the best I've found.

Especially good if you want to get things like Morning Suits or DJs. There is a lot of stock, so you may have to search for what you need. Go and have a browse around if you have a spare minute or two. They also do alterations. I still have the wedding outfit I got from there, and it has paid itself back many times now.

And the list goes on and on. They also carry top designer brands with their men's collection, so if you go with your boyfriend or any kind of male company they will have something to look at and maybe even purchase! It is a great store to visit but expect high prices, as everything has a designer tag and the money that goes along with that.

Be warned, it won't be cheap but you will get quality here. They supply suits, lovely shirts and casualwear. I haven't wandered into the traditional sporting outfit section of the shop as I don't belong in that social class but you can find Barbour and riding gear here as well. So if you want to at least look well-heeled, a visit to Lester Bowden may be exactly what you need.

Considered one of…read moretheir more significant stores, it usually has decent stock levels, along with a handy ordering desk to help you track-down the item you're seeking. My preferred section is Limited Collection - for stylish on-trend clothes and accessories - which could often compete happily with designer brands. The top floor has all their renowned lingerie ranges, categorised in relatively easy-to-find themed display units. However, in some respects it can get confusing here, from time-to-time, as they do like to move departments around. Perhaps it's a good thing to have the menswear together with home and interior items, in a separate store across the road; you have to be pretty determined to want to visit both on the same day, so it could be one way of limiting your expenditure or avoiding a battle with the other half

So, department stores are a good hunting ground for me around times like Christmas when I need to find and buy lots of presents. This Debenhams store is the anchor store for Centre Court Shopping Centre in Wimbledon. It isn't the biggest department but has the full variety of different departments. I had a successful shopping trip here today. The top floor had a lot of homeware and kitchen gadgets - fortunately, a lot of my friends are foodies and love to cook and entertain. The middle level is mainly ladies clothing but the ground floor yielded more success with menswear, fragrances & cosmetics and also a gift section with some fun things to give. It is better to give than receive and Debenhams made that easier for me to achieve today

The presence of a crappy sports direct franchise on the top floor rounds it off. At least it is consistent in its terribleness, and it gets two stars because its blue cross sales are worth braving.

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.

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).
