After researching online, to find places to find woman's clothes (I wanted to try cross dressing) I…read morechose this place. When I went, despite clearly being a dude there and people seeing me take down clothes and go to the dressing room to try them on, no one gave me bad looks or anything so I had a nice fun time trying out clothes to see what works for me and was able to buy some I was happy with. Will go again to get more for sure, and they have very nice clothes. Were good stuff on sale too. So even if I hadn't bought anything, the shop was very nice and felt friendly and I felt safe being able to try stuff on and cross dress. And now I'm wearing stuff from there, it feels very nice!

This branch takes up two very large floors and you can access the shop from either floor through the Crompton Place downstairs and the Millgate upstairs. The branch is very light and airy and uses space well hosting womans wear (including plus sized and maternity), mens wear, chidlrens and a very large shoe department. There are plenty of paypoints which are easy to find and the staff are quick and efficient.

It is nice and spacious in here so there is plenty of room for prams and wheelchairs. There racks are always filled with all the latest trends and when they have a sale they are brilliant! I am always the first one in when there is a sale here! I don't think it is that expensive in here really. They have nice roomy changing rooms and it is a very clean shops. They sell really pretty acccessories in here as well like bangles and necklaces. Overall a brilliant shop that i shop in regularly

I'm shocked that there are shops in Manchester that know about Nudie jeans, let alone a single shop…read morethat carries them. Are there Mancunians with that large a wad of cash burning a whole through their purses? Impressive! A chill, hipster-y gent sold the boy a super cute pair of Vans (casual shoes that aren't a shade of brown: success!) and explained the origins of the noteworthy bicycle saddles hanging up behind the till. Luxury skinny jeans and posh gear for your fixie... I mean, what else could a Williamsburg-wannabe desire, right?

Good style never comes cheap. This is especially true if you're a man. Most clothing boutiques and…read morehigh street stores cater for women and it's rare you find a store like this that offers so many unique quality items for the discerning young gentleman. This is the only store my boyfriend comes to for his trousers (in particular he Edwin brand of jeans) simply because you can't find them anywhere else. From Barbour to Oliver Spencer, Levis to YMC, they have such a well selected collection of labels that convey the best in British understated style.

The shop sells clothes for both men and women with most of the pieces being a one off.... so if you like something well enough to pay the rather inflated price, the likely hood is that you will be the only person in Manchester wearing it! The shop is fairly small, but the wide range of stock is neatly placed on east access rails. The only downside is the staff sometimes seem to have been a little distracted when I popped in, I don't know if this is because I am not head-to-toe in designer gear, but I get the feeling it is!

Cracking independent clothing store just off Oldham Street in the Northern Quarter. I've been…read morecoming here for a good few years now and for a few good reasons: Firstly the staff are always very helpful and friendly (which for a clothing store is as rare as the Pope's daughter making an appearance on one of those sub cable 'late night telephone chat broadcasts') a process for business which is hardly rocket science. Secondly, a large proportion of the stock they sell are from home grown Manchester brands such as 'Bench' and 'Fenchurch' always feels good to eat and wear local produce. Thirdly (and a personal reason I guess), most of the clothes in this store seem to hang upon my body in an almost relaxed and symmetrical manner...unlike certain other stores which leave you looking like a p**d up accountant at a Hard-Fi gig at the 'Manchester Central' or Mark Ronson at the Apollo. The 'Tee's' for example sit snugly and firmly around my neck rather than hanging limply like a cheap wellington boot almost presenting my man chest to a disapproving set of Saturday shoppers (given up the fight with immac). They often have sales which, as the prices are pretty decent anyway makes a kit out here a bargain. There is also a second Westworld Store in the Triangle, Exchange Square if you're in that end of town.

Overpriced asbo-clothes…read more On the plus side though, this is a true Manchester home-grown brand as Paulo pointed out. The Westworld retail empire (10 shops in 9 cities nationwide!!!!!) is based in Manchester and pushes mostly Manchester-based brands, particularly its own brands (or rather those of its parent company), Bench and Hooch. T-shirts (or 'tees' as they call them), possibly featuring images of pop-culture communist icons, jeans (or 'a jean' as they call them), to be worn no higher than the knees, and, of course, hoodies. All for very slightly-beyond-reasonable prices. I think this place has really lost something since around October 2005 though... can't put my finger on it...

I have recently discovered that Manchester Fort Shopping Park has a H&M. Still suprised! Since…read morewhen? The store is smaller to what one would find in Manchester City Centre,but it still has a good range of stock and very well organised, full of stylish shoppers.

I'm a great believer in Shirts, and H&M offer in shirts in almost every colour ever dreamt of. This is great for me, and I'll rarely spend more than £15 or £20 on a hoody here. You've always got the chance of discovering a gem of a jacket or accessory too.

And I was something of a latecomer to…read morethis store, but I'm glad I gave it a try during last year's scary recession sales as I found two things I can get on board with - low prices and simplicity. This is a great shop if you're after the basics. From jumpers to chinos, everything you want to slouch about in on a casual Friday is here in spades. The nightwear is cute as a button, from velour comfies to baggy checked pants. And the maternity clothes are just adorable. You won't find anything ridiculously cutting edge, but that's the beauty of it, Esprit has a certain market cornered and it's sticking with it, along with earthy colours and soft fabrics. I popped in here with an old work colleague during a lunch break and was pleasantly surprised to find some wool sets. I walked away with a sweet pair of lilac gloves which came complete with wrist-warmers, great, as I've said before, for all these 3/4 sleeve jackets we have to deal with these days. It's perfect for stocking up your wardrobe with comfy plain vests, T-shirts, and the outerwear is practical and warm. The underwear is a little more stylish and very pretty in a classy way, and jeans are simple and well fitted. It might not be an afternoon of style experimentation, but an afternoon in Esprit is one well spent.

When are affordable clothing stores going to realise that over embellishing their T shirts, jeans…read moreand whatnot is fooling none of us into thinking that it's high fashion? If anything, the stupid and meaningless statements and cringingly tacky patterns serve only to act as a big badge that says "Look at me!!! I bought this on the cheap!!!". Why don't they just know their level and keep it simple? A plain T shirt, a basic hoodie- it doesn't matter where you buy those, look at H&M or Primark. But places like Esprit (and Next, River Island and Burton) have to act all Johnny Big Bollocks and do a Jackson Pollock over their entire range in a misguided attempt to pull that wool. Leave my wool alone Johnny B!
