When I think of Primark I think of big queues, big crowds, modern stores and cheap clothes but also…read moreclothes on the lower-quality side, mainly down to the price with Primark basically being a clothing version of ALDI. Located on Church Street, it is basically right bang in the heart of the One and the centre of Liverpool so the location here is really good, the store is quite large and is in an old building so is nowhere near as modern on the outside, or even the inside as other Primark stores I have visited including stores in Gateshead, Cardiff, Newcastle and Amsterdam, most of which I have visited in the past and awarded a three-star rating to. A lack of renovation could let the store down more than ever now, following H&M locating into the old BHS unit, with a more modern store as the retailer is similar to Primark so action is needed soon. This branch of Primark in a way reminds me of Southport's store, inside it isn't too impressive or modern - which is a shame and it contradicts what you would expect considering Liverpool is a big city, the second biggest in north-west England. I didn't like this store, not just because of the poor overall feel but it just was really untidy, I lost count of clothes on the floor before even getting to the men's section (the ladies section os on the ground floor), and by the looks of things, it looked like it had been that way for a while and staff were unbothered by it, and not doing anything to change it, making it an unsatisfactory and unpleasant place to shop overall. An untidy, uninspiring store which even lets Primark down, if you compare this to other branches of Primark including those in Gateshead and Amsterdam, which I did like, it looks like a completely different store, mainly down to the overall feel, staff and cleanliness of a store, this isn't a store I can reccomend or justify anything over a one-star rating for on this occasion.

Every time I walk into Primark, the store is packed with customers the majority of time which…read moresuggests its popularity. It does tend to attract a lot of students and for those who love a bargain, this is the place to shop. Quality of clothing can be unpredictible but it all depends. If you're fortunate, you may find a garment to last you more than a few years. The store itself is plentiful, serving 5 floors which has something to suit everybody. There is even a homeware section on the top tier. Primark is a shop which you'll either love or hate, and I love it!

Lipsy is a lovely little store, situated in the midst of the Liverpool ONE development. They have a…read morelovely range of clothing which is fashion conscious and a little bit different to the high street stores. The stock is organised well and the shop is clean and tidy. There is usually a good range of sizes out on display and if your size isn't there the staff are happy to go and check if they have it in the back, usually returning with the right size for you. They have a nice range of accessories which are of a high quality compared to some of the cheaper high street stores. The staff are friendly and helpful and know what they are talking about when it comes to fashion. Lipsy isn't as cheap as some places but the clothes are of a good quality and they do last for a long time. This is a great shop for something for a special occasion, or just a treat.

I enjoy the ideal of this kind of place as they are trying to make something inaccessible for the average joe accessible and affordable and this is a valued service for a fashion conscious city such as Liverpool. The value here really is good and the quality of the clothes is not to be scoffed at as some of the pieces could be mistaken for designer labels and this is exactly the effect that the stores owners are trying to achieve. This store is smart and classy yet accessible and this is something which is too rare these days and as such this place deserves a nod of recognition.

Same sorts of clothes as everywhere else, and a small shoe and bag section, with some additional accessories near the till. For some reason there always seems to be a lot of mums with pushchairs in here, though I can't quite figure out why. Prices are competitive, quality occasionally questionable, but generally a pretty decent clothes shop.

However STorm is probably the more famous, more popular store of the bunch. I must say, I preferred the old store near Lewis's, while the stock was similar, the shop was larger and brighter, there was more stuff and more space to look; it was a little decrepit, but it wasn't in St John's which I tend to find dark and claustrophobic Now there is no alternative I shop here. The stock is variable with some obligatory tat but an occassional bargain (as with most of these style stores) and the staff are always on hand and very helpful.

Considering Zara's pedigree as one of the foremost high street brands of Europe you might expect…read morethe range available here to be a little more stylish. Much of what is available here though seems to be the sort of stuff you might imagine a Spanish gap year hitchhiker to wear; metallic trainers, brightly coloured t-shirts with meaningless slogans and padded gilets (and this apparently is true for both the women's and the men's sections). There are classic styles to be found - tailored jackets and trousers, basic shirts and blouses and a decent enough selection of leather shoes, boots, belts and bags - but these need to be hunted out. Once you find these items though you have the makings of a great work wardrobe. This branch, with women's wear on the ground floor and men's and kid's on the first, is itself spacious and done in nice dark wood but there is a tendency for clothing to be strung on racks with little attention and thrown out on tables in piles (particularly if there happens to be a sale on). The staff are generally a pretty friendly bunch even if at the weekends they're pretty keen to process you through the till quickly. On a final positive note - there are some brilliant fedoras available here. Unfortunately I am cursed with a head like a beachball but I feel some people need to benefit. Wear one for me.

As soon as I approach the first floor (being the men's section), I'm spoilt for choice whether I'm looking for casual or formal wear. Zara doesn't fail to disappoint in terms of variety which is probably why it is so popular with locals and tourists. The store always has customers, even at quiet times which is an encouraging sign. As prices are concerned, they do vary from moderate to high, so it does take some patience to look for quality and value. When you do hit the target though, you'll be certain to add more favourites to your wardrobe (with nothing too flashy or branded that it's going to make you skint).

I kick myself for not noticing because this neat little home ware shop offers a whole load of items, which are ideal to make your home look pretty and shiny. Amongst their terrific variety of products, they sell everything from crockery, linen to furniture and beds. You wouldn't think for a small shop like this, that they offer such a decent selection. Whilst prices are moderate, most items appear to be of decent quality. I wouldn't be too surprised if this store attracts many housewives and mothers. This store is perfect for transforming your home, such as making your mantle piece look ten times more fabulous!

This branch of Evans is situated in the city centre of Liverpool. From the outside it looks quite…read moreclassy and interesting. Inside the store is quite small. They sell clothing for larger ladies such as jeans, dresses, underwear, swimwear, tops, suits, jewellery, accessories and outerwear. The items available are all a bit samey. The basic items such as jeans and work trousers are good and fairly inexpensive but there isn't really anything that stands out. The staff are very helpful. When you go to the fitting room to try items on the attendant will take the items off you, lead you to a free fitting room out of the many available, and then advise you to ask them if you need any help. They are happy to bring you more sizes and if the size you need is not in store they will phone round other stores to see if they have it, or they will order it specially for you and contact you when it has arrived. The store is clean and tidy and there seems to be a good stock of sizes on the rails. This is a great little shop.

If you didn't already know, Evans is the shop for larger ladies, but you can often find women in…read morethere who don't seem to fit the bill. That's because Evans has clothing similar to what you'd expect to find in Next, but for slightly cheaper prices. Starting at size 14 and going up to a 32, this is the place to feel comfortable if you're carrying a few extra pounds and are worried that you'll never get the latest fashions in your size. At the moment the shop is full of florals and nautical clothing, and there are some fab items in the sale too. The shop assistants are nice and friendly and know what they're talking about, and even the security guards understand when you furtively dart inside the door to make sure no one sees you (it's not always 'cool' to shop at oversized clothes stores) Definitely somewhere I'd head after the post-Christmas pounds to stock up on comfy gear until the New Year diet kicks in round about March...

It's hard to know who wouldn't be a fan of Resurrection really as it seems to cover just about…read moreevery fashion group out there. Resurrection has slowly taken over Drome's mantle as Liverpool's number one independent retailer, reflecting the city's changing fashion tastes and as it has done so, steadily expanding its premises and range. The men's fashion primarily falls into two categories of modern, urban wear - what with your hoodies and printed, pop-culture t shirts n that - and vintage clothing - old clothes. Within these there is plenty that can be found for all tastes as long as you are veering towards the casual side of things and like more independent, smaller names. The trainers aren't quite as varied as some other retailers but as the store has recently expanded there's no reason to suggest that Resurrection doesn't have its eyes set on dominating the Liverpool fashion scene completely.

All Saints clothes shop in Liverpool One has a wooden cabin theme to it which often makes customers…read morecurious to walk in and find out what the shop is all about. So, that is indeed what I did and I found the experience to be a bit gloomy and dull. Most clothes are dark in nature and had a rugged texture to them, as though they were already worn. There is a men's section upstairs which sells quite similar clothing but again feels quite dismal and the price tags moderately high. However, if you're the type to go for clothes with a frilly, dull and/or worn out look then All Saints might be the shop for you. For me, it just isn't my style.

And now to another of my fashion faves. Okay, I know that the clothes don't necessarily last a long…read moretime, they don't wash well and can lose their shape rather quickly for something you're paying so much for, but I'm totally drawn in by the con. I can't help it - I do love All Saints. Those structured, layered dresses, those maxis that look so much cooler than all the paisley ones ladies seem to be wandering round in these days, the jackets that are nothing but strictly ornamental and boots that manage to be masculine and feminine at the same time... it's all here, and it's all stunning. This particular branch has an excellent menswear department with many different vests, and the sales are nothing short of fantastic. I admire All Saints for its quirky design, really not many people can carry it off but it doesn't mean they don't try, and quite frankly I disagree with the idea that everything in the store only suits the long and lean. Different sets offer qualities for different figures, and All Saints has a knack for celebrating this. I'm truly a sucker for it. Just... go in sale period, save yourself from constant sharp intakes of breath.

Covering 2 floors in Cavern Walks, this is an alternative clothes shop that makes me want…read moreeverything on the rails! I mean, it really is hard to just stick to window shopping here. Some of the clothes have a definite vintage inspiration and I'm like a magpie when I see shiny, glittery things, of which there is much. Again, Cavern Walks prices mean this isn't a cheap shop, but these designs are so funky and fresh I'd actually consider saving up for a year so I could go wild in here. The shop has expanded from what used to be a small, crowded room, so business must be going well. It seems to be the sort of shop that not only appeals to the fashionistas wanting to find a statement outfit, but also the regular you-and-me type people who just like pretty things. Definitely one to indulge in!
