Giulio is probably the only substantial luxury fashion boutique in Cambridge. This branch focuses…read moreon menswear and there is another women's shop on Sussex Street nearby. There is a considerable selection of casual and official wear from a variety of high end brands including Prada, Gucci, Zegna, D&G, Polo, etc. Prices are similar to what you'd be charged for the same items in brands' own boutiques in London. As most luxury retailers, they hold big sales twice a year offering to buy remains from the previous season's collection more affordably.

Last time I was in there I couldn't see any APC or nudie or viv westwood, marc by marc jacobs and so on and so forth, but the foundations of any exclusive and stylish wardrobe can be built from this store. Bearing in mind you wouldnt find a shop in the same league that is also as well established as Giulio, you can be sure they're the one stop shop to the top cloth.

I've received a multitude of compliments on acquisitions, from scarves to angora knits. Combined with friendly, super-helpful staff to make an unmissable experience. I'd particularly like to commend Kassie, who altered a chain (free!) to fit a pendant & then waited months for me to collect! She remembered me as soon as I returned back to the shop- excellent personal service.

I wouldn't recommend going into this store unless you have a bit of time on your hands. Sometimes…read moreit feels a bit like an upmarket jumble sale - items everywhere, not always in any kind of logical order! That said, if you do have the time to browse, you can pick up some real gems - anything from 'designer' clothes at a bargain basement price to cheap trainers to kitchenware, gym gear, luggage and beauty accessories. You have to wade through rubbish to get to the gems - but one man's (or woman's) junk is another man's treasures! I've got some real bargains at this store before so if you're not in a rush and don't have clear ideas in your head of what you're after, I would persevere because the stock is regularly updated and you might just find something fabulous! But if you go in there with a really set idea of what you want you could leave disappointed.

With T K Maxx you do not expect perfect order, or great customer service. It is bargains you are…read moreafter. One T K Maxx varies a lot from the next, depending on what stock is in. However, the Cambridge T K Maxx is the most chaotic I have been to. Clothes were all over the place, in the wrong section - trousers with tops, coats with skirts. And none of the sizes were in the correct places, so you really had to rummage to find what you were looking for. The staff were relatively helpful, although several of the items I found were mis-priced, or without prices altogether, which delayed my shopping further. It is great for a bargain, but if you are after a stress-free shopping experience stick to the high street and pay a bit more.

This store has some really gorgeous women's fashions - anything from going out gear to everyday…read morewear to office clothes - but they tend to be on the pricier end of the high street. This store is right off the market square, so it's very convenient if you're in the centre of town. It does feel rather cramped, especially on busy weekends. But the displays are very attractive and some of the clothes beautiful. I even got my bridesmaids' dresses (stretch satin cocktail type dresses) from here! (And was most annoyed when I saw them on sale a few weeks later for almost half the price!) After climbing up a spiral staircase at the back of the store, you'll find shoes, bags and various accessories, as well as a very grandiose dressing room with long mirrors and seats. All feels very opulent and yonder year - in a good way. If I could afford to I would buy almost everything in this store!

I am getting married next year, so have been around a few of the bridalwear shops in the area (not…read morethat there are very many in Cambridge city to begin with!). This was the first place I tried - and it was by far the best! You do have to book in advance if you want to try on wedding dresses as it gets very busy, especially on weekends. There's a room downstairs for private fittings, where (once you've made your appointment) you can try on dresses to your heart's content! The service is fantastic and the staff really professional and patient. If you tell them you have to stick to a budget they will try to accommodate you. The range of dress styles is amazing too. If like me, the blancmange doesn't do it for you, there are plenty of really classy, simple dresses in there - everything from fishtail to column dresses - you name it! Ironically I ended up buying the second dress I ever tried on - after then trying on endless other bridal dresses! The service is fantastic - there's no hard sell or any of that rather intimidating aura you sometimes get in these kinds of stores. I've recommended this shop to several of my friends.
