Coming from the UK, shopping here is akin to shopping at TK Maxx. There are lines and lines of racks and there is treasure to be found in amongst the rest of the very run of the mill stuff. You could easily spend a good half an hour looking for bargains here. There are huge discounts and if you endure it will be well worth your search.

Ever have that argument with your wardrobe? I have nothing to wear!…read more Well luckily Clear It! is near! This massive fashion outlet is just what you've been looking for! Stocking brands such as Dangerfield, Friends of Couture, Jack London, Revival and more you will not be short of options for something new to add to your wardrobe. I actually come here once a week, its that cheap. Singlets - 2 for $10, Shirts from $10, pricing is ridiculous here! My favourite purchases include a 3 / 4 long Dangerfield coat, originally $250, i scored it for $75. Even picked up a Jack London business shirt for $10!!! So fellas if you want some new kicks or clothes pay Clear It a visit and while you shop, the Clear It women's store is just a few shops up.

If I hadn't stacked on a few kilograms, I'd still wear it, too. The quality of the suits is generally pretty good value for money. Not stupidly expensive, not cheap. Tends to last a fair while. I still regularly buy my shirts here. The service is generally pretty good. They're pretty thorough in making sure that what you're buying will fit if you're suit shopping, but they're not annoying when you just want to be left alone to browse. Good place.

A staunchly monochromatic affair, my wardrobe is in need of some of Alphaville's wares. Now. As…read moreMinh L. noted, Alphaville can come off a little intimidating. It's staff are all gorgeous, its interior almost brutally simplistic and spartan and its clothes, oh golly its clothes, they're to die for. Cultivating a very, very Melbourne look which can probably be summed up as: smart/androgynous/black/white/grey/twisted/sophisticated and intellectual with just a little bit of whimsical print thrown in to stop the whole affair from being too serious, Alphaville is the kind of shop you'd buy ALL of your chic basics from if a singlet wasn't fifty bucks. Probably best as the place you buy that classic but hard to find dress that only really comes alive when you try it on, Alphaville is one of my favourite Brunswick Street stores. And with prices not quite as scary as you'd imagine - think $100 and upwards for a dress rendered in beautiful quality silk and cotton - it's definitely worth a look.

When I was looking for suits for my Wedding, Briggins came recommended by those in the business as…read morethe best around. The guys here cater for those males that aren't really going to shop around for their suits, and would rather have the whole experience made smooth and easy. Although I didn't quite fit this category, and found looking for a suit to be a fun experience, our visit to Briggins was made an enjoyable one when the first thing we were offered on arrival was cold beers all around. We then tried on a range of suits, and were shown shirts and ties that would compliment them. The guys at Briggins even offer an in home service, arriving in their van with your suits ready to try on. We took advantage of this after our initial measurements were taken at the store, meaning that we could all try the suits on at my house, and have any travel taken out of the equation.

Stylish, trendy but still classic and cool is how I would describe the clothes at Jack London, you also need to be very brave to pull off some of their fashion. But if this sounds like you (i.e. you're a skinny hipster) then Jack London should be your one stop shop. The staff are very helpful and dressed to perfection, so feel free to steal some of their style notes. I admire a man that puts effort in to his appearance and these boys clearly do! It can be outrageously expensive, but I do think their suits are worth the money. They won't go out of style and you'll always impress the ladies (and gents.) I mean, come on, I'm attracted to their MANNEQUINS!

Step through its doors off Smith Street and you're immediately transported to old world luxe of exquisite parquetry flooring and leather chesterfield sofas. There's even an extensive Whisky collection at the back of the store to complete the elegant and sophisticated mood! Floor to ceiling shelving houses the best of men's English made shoes. From a Shell Cordovan Loafer in burgandy, to the classic Oxford in black - these shoes are traditionally made and built to last a lifetime. Staff are highly professional, welcoming and courteous. Special thanks to Ben, who was extremely patient and knowledgable, spending almost an hour to explain the nuances and detail of many special items. Double Monk carries an extensive range from labels such as Crockett & Jones, Edward Green and John Lobb. If you're looking for a pair of extremely well made shoes to last, then there is no equal here in Melbourne.

Its old-world elegance complete with wall-to-wall timber, leather club chairs and exotic taxidermies would be right at home on London's Jermyn Street. It's owned and run by a fellow who is obviously very passionate about shoes and only sells those handmade in England (with a small selection from a Spanish maker). He even stocks John Lobb, purveyor of shoes to HRH The Prince of Wales. This means the shoes aren't cheap but they're going to last and are well worth the cost. There's also a serious selection of stylish umbrellas and accessories. Being a guy who generally hates clothes/shoe shopping (being somewhat oddly proportioned), it was a real relief to have the benefit of someone knowledgeable to measure the old plates of meat and recommend the right size and style. Notwithstanding the fact that I turned up tonight right on closing time, I was made very welcome and given the sort of personalised high-quality service which you don't get a lot of these days. Highly recommended.
