Box Clothing sell designer clothes for women and men - you can buy smart, casual and sporty stuff…read morehere although be prepared to pay designer prices! Some of their stuff is a bit 'chavvy' for me but some is really nice, although I refuse to pay £50 for a strappy top so I often just go in for a browse and don't buy! The staff sometimes make me feel uncomfortable, I can almost see a look in their eyes that says "you don't belong in this shop!"

It's…read morea large one with a huge women's wear section and food hall on the ground floor and up stairs there's the cafe, children's wear, underwear and mens. Some of the staff I find are lovely women but others I have been disgusted at the way they look down their nose at you, especially some managers! Not very encouraging for the company! The queues move quickly here and I like the fact this shop has some toilets for everyone, not just customers of the cafe!

If you're shopping in Middlesbrough and want a bargain outfit then it's well worth looking in George.

This is located on the main high street, just near the Cleveland Mall.

The staff are all very polite and helpful, it does have a nice shoe selection with modern day shoes. Sales are the best time to go to USC, they're all at least half price and then they often are on buy one get one free as well. I got £160 worth of clothes for £40 - a dress and a coat. I was pretty chuffed with that! All the latest fashions are here.

A big Next on the main high street, very close to the high street centre. It has a ladies section…read moreand childrens section on the ground floor and a man and home section upstairs. There is a large selection of clothes in all sections ranging from the cheap to the more costly. I think Next is pretty much a good place for anyone to pick up something they like, I rather like the shoe section personally! In terms of childrens clothes, they can be a bit too mature for younger children. The mens section has some really good cartoon type tshirts. My boyfriend likes pacman and I found a pale blue tshirt with the ghosts on there recently. Sale time - sales here start about 5 and are absolute mayhem as is common of any next in the country. Be prepared to fight your way through the clothing, grab anything you might like and then sort through the bags before you buy anything, that way you can guarantee if you like something that you'll get it in your size!
