TOPMAN
Formerly known as Top Shop by the Brits. A multinational fashion retailer of clothing, shoes and accessories.
My first time ever setting foot into one of their branches was in Barcelona and I remember being disappointed... This is supposed to be a fast and mass production, somewhat good quality and affordable clothing for fashionistas on a budget. There's nothing avant-garde or experimental about their design selections its more of a "Vas has dis?" Mr. Michael Kors's plain black t-shirt is more fashion forward. Being in London I was hoping to be WOWED, excited and my Rich Uncle Pennybags (you monopoly players know what I'm talking about) is just a phone call away... I wanted to buy something...anything I can brag about and show it off to my superficial friends in the states. With my humble knowledge when it comes to fashion? This trip was a total dud (eye rolling and Mr. Tim Gunn's tagline is echoing in my head, " Make it work, Ryan C"). Not to sound condescending though I bought a hoodie and a sweatshirts. Pricey...(yikes)!
And yes, I will take the trip to the Grove in El lay or Americana in Glendale, California when in need for some retail therapy and aim for the BOTTOM rack sale!
Great customer service for both gentlemen who help me out. Picking the right sizes and colours...deserves a fantastic 4!
Topshop for gals and Topman for blokes on the lower floor.
Tip: I didn't smell any cologne or perfume here...so yay. Can't stand stores that sells stanks! I'm not a Directioner or a Belieber so maybe they sell the stuff...who knows? All I know is I did not gag when I entered the store.
Store is clean and easy to get around. All major credit cards are accepted and foreign transactions may be applied.
In fashion, one day you're in... the next, you're out! Auf Wiedersehen.
