what has happened to the once amazing topshop?
the only thing i even like in there anymore are the plain jersey '2 for a tenner' tops. even the shoes are ugly as hell.
i went into the leeds topshop yesterday. it's pretty big. and i didn't find ONE thing i liked.
there was one bag i thought was quite cute, but it was so badly made that i put it back.
what is wrong, topshop? how can we make it better?

do you have the same horrid 80s style crap in denmark?
all the t-shirt dresses and batwing sleeves and yellow/turquoise leather?
it's fucking horrible, imo.
it didn't look good in the 80s and it doesn't look good now.
All they ever have is rails and rails of the same bloody 'moto' jeans month after month, that no, don't suit everyone, black trousers, the same 'basics' in the same sizes in the same styles along with 2 big fashion 'fads.'
Most of this stuff will be identikit and blatatly recogniseable as a styled piece of clothing from topshop.
Anything else has zips, tassels and dodgy prints exactly where you don't want zips tassels and dogdy prints. On the clothing.
yeah, you're right.
topshop pants still own.
Nowhere seems to have nice stuff - it's all this retro 80s shite that come is horrible colours. Electric blue, fuschia and white?! No, no, no.
All I bought were plain t-shirts from H&M. H&M is still ok.
Hopefully it'll pick up a bit soon
Yes, I like H&M.
What do you mean by fucked sizing?
i actually dont like H&M. i feel like its a huge jumble sale, u have to rummage through the racks to find anything, and then, they rarely have more than three copies of the garment. grr
Our H&M is ever so tidy now the sales are over. They seem to have some of the retro fashion, but they've also got plain essentials and tops in the colours I like! yay. I also love their jeans.
The sizes are ok too....unless it's the numbers(like 36 etc), but I think I have them worked out.
I really want a pair of their 'extreme' flared jeans now that they've got shorter lengths but they don't have them in smaller waist sizes so they don't fit
Their t shirts are good value but the neckline always creases and bunches, no matter how much I iron the fuckers. And they lose their shape easily. Well, too easily for my slapdash 'shove everything in and hope for the best' methods.
I agree that they should tidy up a bit - a lot of the time you're just not in the mood or have the time to spend raking through everything to find something half decent.
I must admit, about 2 yrs ago, topshop was pretty good.. selling nice stuff, with personality, not just mass produced 80's bollocks!
Miss Selfride used to be good too, but now (I think) they're part of the same company as Topshop, they're going downhill too.
H&M I used to LOVE! At one point my whole wardrobe was Hennes! But now, as Paperdoll said, it's like a huge jumble sale. It's all brown, beige, cheesecloth and cheap polyester. :rolleyes:
I want the good shops back!!!!!

I had a pair of the light denim extreme flares, wore them every day for almost a year. They're a bit out of shape and toooo ripped at the bottom now. They were too long...
...So I got a pair of dark denim extreme flares - which aren't actually that flared, but they're not long so they won't soak up too much water when it rains. They're also stretchy, the light ones weren't. But they look ok.
You have to dig around to find the sizes. I quite like how they have quite a variety of lengths and waist sizes. What waist size are you? I saw some 26s, but I think that was the smallest they had.
Well, I take a 14 in newlook and stuff but a 12 in there. And the same with my sister, She takes a 12 but a 10 in there. I just find there sizes a bit bigger then anywhere else.
Does anyone else find this? not just with these two shops but any other shops?
Yep. Depends on the actual top too. It's annoying sometimes as you have to try on loads of different sizes in some shops.
For trousers I'm usually a 10 or a 12. But for tops - it varies. From Miss Selfridge most of my tops are size 6, which is just wrong!
I dont like the 'everybody' style, the style you just buy straight off the shelf from topshop. i like to be able to buy the style i love (which happens to be the 'everybody' style) and put myself into by cutting it, sticking it, pinning it, dying it etc etc. mix and match and create your own look. if you're just buying stuff straight off the shelf you're never going to have you're own look. you'll always look like the girl who was in the que behind you, oh, and the one who was in front of you too.
im a six in tops at miss selfridge and an 8 in tops at topshop and a 10 in hennes, same with skirts/trousers, its weird
However i do rate their thongs. Tres value for money.
No-one looks individual anymore - everyone fits one of the "groups". And, alas, the more people try to look different - the more they look the same.
People have their own styles, I believe it's called personality.
:yes:
i have clothes from sizes 6 - 12 all of which fit.
i have a few pairs of size 14 trousers, but they are way way too big. i wear them though. with a sturdy enough belt.
and the 80s retro look mings. i don't care if it's 'individual' (anything you can buy in topshop is NOT indivdual, btw) it mings. pure and simple. you might think you look good but everyone else is laughing at you. apart from the other 80s retro people. they think you look cool. but everyone's laughing at them too.
and for whoever said no one is individual: i know what your getting at, and you're kind of right, but no one else has a lot of my home made clothes, although they are inspired by other people. so i'm kinda original. i'd like to think.
Yep I agree, I hate it in there!
As for sizing, River Island and Oasis I can't by any clothes in- they start at size 8 but it's so not an 8, more like a 10. I'm a 6-8 depending on the shop, so have to stear clear of R.I, Oasis, H&M, Warehouse...
Topshop, Miss S, Dorothy Perkins, Wallis, Prinicples and a fuck load of other shops are all owned by the same company. So you can kinda guarntee that if one shop is following the 80s trend that is in fashion now, they all will. or the majority of them will; they'll just cater the clothes to their specific target audience. TS and Miss S are practically the same shop anyways. I worked in both and i still get confused as to which shop was which.
we dont' have h&m.
They're just the plain ones...but now I don't think that they flatter me. However, I've got 2 pairs of the cropped ones (1 of which are rather yummy :yes: and they fit me reallllllly well. If only they did them in the normal leg length
I have about 5-6 pairs of jeans from topshop, only wear one of them really as my arse doesn't fill the rest but oh well :crazyeyes
I have a topshop store card...it's...it's evil :no: :impissed: :eek2:
Yeah I get it with tops as well. I suppose H&M is alright if you are willing to try things on.
