Mairs are one of the exceptional stores on Soho Road for that Asian wedding and bridal attire…read more They always display the latest designs and the fashion you can't produce in the UK, they bring all the items over from all over Asia, which includes, India, Singapore and far out east. Popular, and occasionally you will find a great sale on, they also have some nice outfits for men. Certainly take friends and family with you on your visit here. Whatever colours you prefer they sell. I like how they speak lots of languages, and it's more convenient for my mothers generation who knows that she trusts what they're saying about their garments when she can speak to them in her own language. I'd recommend visiting the store, car parking is available nearby, and the shop is served with bus routes regularly from the city and West Bromwich. Quite busy on the weekends though.

This is one shop on Soho Road I like going to and just walking into the shop, I got a sense of…read morethere being a friendly atmosphere about the place. Despite the fact I have not brought anything from here, I have tried one or two sherwanis from Mairs. Just wearing them felt good and the only thing that prevented me from buying them was price. I did ask if they could reduce the price by a small amount but they couldn't. What I will say is that the staff here are very friendly and will help you if you need it. They will happily answer your questions and offer you advice. I did find some sherwanis had way too much embroidery but I guess there are Asians out there that like Indian suits with plenty of sequins/embroidery. If Mairs did lower their prices then maybe I would buy a sherwani from here. As well as Menswear, there are Asian Ladieswear on sale here as well.

The majority of clothes in here are for Women and this shop also has plenty of jewellery on offer. There are also dresses for Girls as well so Karan's do have something for everyone. But the thing that frustrates about this shop is the fact there is not enough clothes on offer for Men here. And again the majority of sherwanis here had loads of embroidery so that is another reason why I will probably not come here again. I don't think attracting Women and Children is an issue. I just can't see many Men coming here. But that's just my view and I could be wrong. The staff are there to help you and will give their views on what it is you are interested in purchasing.

Not the first time I have said this but not enough Mens sherwanis on offer for me. As much as I liked the suits and as much as I liked the staff here, I just didn't feel as if there were enough sherwanis. The saris here at Dimpy's I have to say were pretty stunning though. But again it was the prices that put me off. If the shop did lower its prices then maybe I would consider buying a sari for one of my family members or even a sherwani. But at the moment I would have to say I have no intentions of coming back here. It is unfortunate because this shop actually does sell some decent sherwanis. I can however see many ladies coming to shop here.

It's nice to know that you can still go to a few remaining independent clothes shops; especially…read moresomewhere where you can always pick up unique t-shirts that nobody else will have. I personally hate seeing everybody wearing the very same garment that you bought a month ago from the very same chain store! Little Italy is full of one off men's clothing (or batches made specifically for the shop), so you never have to worry about blending in with everybody else. Although, I have to say, other than a few unusual patterned t-shirts, the type of fashion is not really to my taste. The shop would be perfect for the trendier men out there though! Prices are average, and most t-shirts cost around £10, which is general to most chain retailers; So you're getting something unique for the same price. It's a shame that shops such as this are hidden away in shopping centres outside of the city centre. I can see this store being very popular if it were located in central Brum.

I really struggle to find fashionable clothes shops that I actually like, and unfortunately,…read moreResonate still doesn't hit the nail on the head for me. Walking into the shop, I was immediately put off by the loud chart dance music that was booming out of the doorway, and felt straight away that this place wasn't going to be my cup of tea. The shop itself is very sleek and shiny, whereas I prefer clothes shops to feel a bit more rugged and artistic. (just my personal preference.) The fashion and style of menswear sold in here is probably perfect for lovers of suits, shirts and suave ties, but for me, it felt more like I was mooching through the range of clothes at M&S or River Island. I was looking for something different or unusual, to stand out from the norm, and I expected an independent shop to stock more unique items of clothing; But unfortunately for me, it did not. For lads into high priced, fashionable shirts and brands such as Paolo Vandini, this shop is definitely for them. But for me, Resonate is a little too expensive and little too far away from my pallet.

Fashion File and Sports United, as its name suggests, is essentially two shops for the price of…read moreone. On walking in, you find yourself pretty much in the Sports United part. This part sells a small but well-stocked selection of name-brand sports clothing (Adidas, Nike etc.) at prices not that far from High Street competiors such as Sports Soccer (or Sports Direct as they want to be called nowadays - political correctness gone mad if you ask me). The rest of the shop, the Fashion File section, is dedicated to clothing for the older and larger gentleman. Be under no illusion, there is nothing fashionable about the selection of slacks, jumpers and cardigans that line the walls and fill the racks. There's alsohalf-decent selection of budget priced suits (you know the kind, outrageously pin-striped or shinily silver) but special mention has to be made of the 'larger' size collection. Fashion File even outlarges Jacomo by going up to a size 6XL. Just to be clear on that, they do clothes that are a XXXXXXL, or extra extra extra extra extra extra large. The name is misleading - there was as much fashion as there were files. The sports bit was okay though.

What I am pleased to say is that Fallout hasn't really changed much in all that time. Yes it's diversified from purely skate type brands but you can still expect to find a DC hoodie or two alongside a fun reindeer knitted jumper. Where as Ideal tends to stock the more premium end of the skate wear spectrum you can find some great bargains here at Fallout that are a bit easier on the wallet. The fact that they are also rather handily located opposite Ignite Records means you can quickly and easily visit both at the same time.

Fallout has a fair amount of stock that interests me - some label brands, but also some cheaper fun tees which match the aesthetic of the accessories you can buy around the corner in Beadesaurus. The range is mainly mens, but this means the tees will accomodate my lady parts much better than scrawny womens sizes which are rarely cut big enough to cope with actual breasts.

The attention to detail is what impressed me most and I'd like to congratulate them on their excellent customer service.

I have seen this store 100s of times in Birmingham city centre, never been inside until today. I am…read morelooking for some clothing for a wedding and thought I'd give them a go. I was looking at men's suits in the size 34 which is what I usually wear. I did not approach or ask for help from anyone. A sales assistant advised me that "you're not a 34, you should try a 36". Fine. You're entitled to an opinion. I told him I am a 34, and that is what I usually wear and so proceeded to try some of the suit jackets on. They have a decent selection. Same sales associate seemed to be lurking around and came up to me to tell me 34 is too tight and will not fit and I should try the next size up. I did not ask for anybody's opinion. 34 is just the right size on me, a little snug, but that does not matter to me. I know what my own size is. It was not too tight, and if he thought it was, fine, but I did not ask for his advice. Either way, the customer is always right. Even if you think it looks ridiculous, you keep it to yourself and sell it to the customer because let's face it: they have the cash to spend. I went upstairs to see their single jackets on sale. The colleague upstairs was great - really helpful, explained everything about alterations and sizing and hiring, and totally understood that if I want to try a 34 and it fits better, that is what I should go for. The first guy wasn't totally rude, but it was uncalled for and I doubt I will go back in a hurry. Clothing selection was vast, but they don't mix and match sizes which is annoying if your legs are one size and your chest is another. All staff are sharply dressed and the store is nice and clean. Apart from the one sales associate, it was alright.
