If you're over 5ft 8" like me, then you'll know it's a right pain trying to find clothes that fit…read more In fact, I used to hate trying to find jeans that fitted me, and eventually gave into just wearing those which were 2 sizes too big, making me look ridiculous. That was until I discovered this shop. LTS solves all your tall-related clothes problems. They have a huge selection, ranging from trousers, to pyjamas (gone are the days of cold ankles!), even shoes for those with 'banana' feet, like myself. Amazing. Their website has even more selection, however, instore they do their best to accommodate you, and can order items for you, which is decent. Slightly more expensive that other high street stores, a lot of stuff is best left to be bought in the sales, which happen every other month. Good for the tall, however, it's more function over fashion, and aimed at those slightly older than myself. Great for tall basics though! I might stick to Topshop for other fashionable items though... sorry LTS, I'll come back in a few years though. Promise.

They offer their range in sizes 8-22 and inside seam on trousers goes up to 36. Their clothing isn't cheap but it is designed inhouse and made to flatter taller women. They also have a womens range of shoes and boots which accomadate up to a size 11, without losing the edge in fashion. Extremely obliging and polite staff.

M&S has always been a lovely place to treat yourself or others, which is why I was overjoyed when…read morethey opened this store at The Forge Retail Park. This great big outlet store has a huge selection of ladies and men's clothing at much lower prices than they are normally sold at M&S stores. These items are generally from a previous season, which is why they are offered at reduced prices, but they are of the same high quality that you would expect from M&S. I particularly love their lingerie and hosiery here as their tights are of excellent quality and are generally sold at buy one get one half price (on my last visit I got two pairs of super thick and long lasting tights for only £2.25!). If you're tired out from bargain hunting, there is a little cafe towards the back of the shop, serving M&S products of course, including tasty soups, sandwiches, cakes and selection of hot drinks. I love M&S and I love discounted M&S even more.

They sell some really nice clothes for younger people as well as older ones in a good range of sizes 14-32. The clothes are of good quality and there is usually most sizes in stock. They have a good selection of footwear for wider feet and go up to a size 10. Staff are helpful and polite. There is often a good sale on in the summer months and then again January.

They stock a range of clothes from casual jeans and tops to smart trousers and work clothes. They also have a range of shoes and bags to help finish off your new look.

I always find myself disappointed with Miss Selfridge…read more It began when I was about 15 and bought a couple of cute jumpers in here. I returned to the store later that day for some reason, and found that they'd reduced one of them by £10 in my 3-hour absence. While they refunded the difference, it was a hassle, and I don't think that bodes well for them. After that, I washed the thing once and it shrunk, then I had another hassle with returning it. Despite having a bad experience with them, I've tended to give it a shot once in awhile to see what's on offer. Although it's part of the Arcadia group, the quality of the clothing here seems to be sub-par in comparison with, in particular, it's sister store Topshop. The styles differ and Miss Selfridge tends to be a little bit cheaper, but for some reason everything seems to be of a much lower standard. However, you can get lucky and find a pair of leggings for £12 in here that - for essentially the same thing - cost £20 in Topshop. Bargain! Their sales seem to be pretty good. I think the trouble lies with the fact that what they sell is simply not my style. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to Topshop that still offers student discount and clothes that are a little less "out there" - this is the place to look.

I do like the clothes here, but for some reason I don't find myself shopping here that much as it often a bit hit or miss. The sizes are quite odd sometimes to and some items can look a little bit stretched of material even though it's probably more expensive than Topshop. The average top is around £35 and although that isn't too bad I often find that a similar top in Topshop would look slightly better quality and last a bit longer too as many clothes I've bought from Miss Selfridge look a bit done after a few washes. They do have some really cute dresses though and I have a fair few of them, I think the dresses is where their strengths lie.

Although I've never bought a pair of jeans from here as I'm too small and usually need to buy jeans for 12 years olds. I think Levi is great for guys jeans, the last time I was here was with G-Bot and he bought a nice pair of jeans and they were pretty reasonably priced. The jeans here aren't fussy, they don't have ridiculous logos or unnecessary rips and zips. They are just traditional good old fashioned jeans and are great quality too.

This range is fan-bloody-tastic and was much needed from Levis as their women's section was lagging behind the men's. The jeans I bought were £85 (they give a 20% student discount if you're currently a tax dodger!) but the price is worth it. They fit like a glove and are washing brilliantly. The staff were super helpful and friendly too. One issue though....they wouldn't refund something that I had bought on the website. this is really dated nowadays as all high street stores offer this. If it wasn't for that I'd put this up to 5 stars!

It's very G Star esque and has a fair few big brand names on offer for slightly cheaper prices than on the high street. Although I'm a big fan of the scruffy look, this shop is great for men's fashions that are very much popular, and this outlet is a decent sized space offering a good selection of well made clothes. They even have cool high top style trainers. A shop in an unexpected area for this sort of fashion that deserves a second look - and a third after that!
