I know with the recent press coverage of how Primark are accused of using child labour and I do not…read moreagree with this at all and quite rightly they have been through a bad time. However I am sure if you investigate a lot of the high street stores you will find exactly the same, at least they are trying to do the right thing by opening factories etc which do not employ young children. They also let the public have the benefit of cheap clothes unlike others who blatantly lie for the price tag. The clothes in Primark are cheap and fashionable. Not all good quality but if you delve into their jumble style rails you can find great things. 100% cotton tee shirts and shirts ( I bought a really smart shirt the other day for £1.00) Underwear and night wear, shoes and accessories. Mens jeans at £4.00 (ok for work!) mens jumpers at £6.00 Great looking clothes at the fraction of the cost. In these hard days I am glad to say we have such a shop on the high street.

Some of their clothes can be quite good. Unfortunately, this only spans as far as the women's…read moreclothes. The men's selection is dire. There's about 5 styles of t-shirt, 2 styles of combar jeans, and a selection of garish ties in a variety of neon colours. If you buy something from here, you'll end up wearing the same as at least three other people you walk past in a given day. Underwear is very poor quality, and seems to fall apart after a few wears, or one wash Fine for generic wear on one night out, but apart from that, avoid!

There are usually bargains to be found. It has a reasonable restaurant on the top floor which does cheap meals and has a view over the park behing the store.

My favourite section is on the lower ground floor and it is where they have the younger style female clothes with shops like Oasis, Dorothy Perkins and Warehouse, they have great sales on in here and it is well worth coming in for a rummage. This is also where I had my wedding list when I got married. They provide a great wedding list service where they send you off around the shop and you can scan everything you want for wedding presents then people register on-line for gifts and Debenhams send it all to you at the end, it couldn't be easier and was great fun!

It's funny how I am yet another female to review this male-only clothing store. Ah well, taste…read moreknows no gender, I believe. The clothing at The Wardrobe reminds me of something a Sloane Ranger or "Hooray Henry" (I love that phrase) would wear to a weekend excursion to the country. In any case, it's a relief to see a store cater to men who have outgrown graphic T-shirts, skinny jeans and trainers. Tasteful, classic and a bit on the expensive side, The Wardrobe offers a range of clothing from designers like Armani, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren and Henri Lloyd. I quite like seeing a man in clothing like this, especially a fine suit. Good Lord. Anyway, The Wardrobe also has an online store, perfect for a browse if you can't make it to the High Street Arcade shop, or if you fancy a bit of retail therapy outside of business hours. Do try to make to the store though, dahling. You'll be glad you did.

There are some really great items on display in the windows, ranging from ultra smart to really quite casual. They provide suits and shirts while also fitting in all the everyday essentials too. But always classy. This is quite a middle class shop, where rich boys with side partings might come to find something to wear for playing cricket in. But the prices are reasonable and they often have offers on the cards. It's nice to see somewhere guys can go and pick up nice clothes without having too much chance of it all going horribly, horribly wrong.

Cooshti is an awesome shop on Park Street that sells some really cool clothes and ranges that you…read morewon't find anywhere else in Bristol. It is probably the last really cool clothing shop left on Park Street. The style and clientele Cooshti caters for is definitely more urban that many high streets shops in Bristol. You'll find baggy jeans and some over sized t-shirts and shirts - quite unlike most shops nowadays. They also sell some seriously cool trainers which again, you'll struggle to find elsewhere in Bristol. I rarely buy stuff from Cooshti, but thats because its not really my style and unfortunately park Street doesn't have the appeal it used to for fashion/. But when I'm in the area I'll always go in and check out what they've got. It will be a sad day if Cooshti ever dropped off Park Street.

It took at least three visits before discovering that there was a women's department in the back of the shop! There's many labels on display here; Nike, Levis and Diesel to name but a few, all accompanied by a designer tag. The men and women who work here all look fantastically cool and wear their stock to the best of their ability. There's a great mix of footwear, dresses, t-shirts and hoodies with the odd one-off. Sizes are fairly small (nothing above a 14) which is disappointing, and I would say it's better for boys than it is for girls. Bit too label loving for my blood, but worth a look if street wear is your bag.
