Outside of London, Brighton probably has the largest concentration of indie fashion stores in England so take a trip to the South coast town and you will be spoiled for choice for quirky and original clothing. Our pick of the bunch for men’s fashion is Boy Parker. Slap bang in the middle of the bustling North Laine (and just across the street from big sister shop Get Cutie for the girls), Boy Parker stocks everything for the man/boy about town needs. A large selection of funny/comic/retro/illustrated tees and geek-chic pants make them our number one tip for cool clobber by the sea.
This Park Street staple has been feeding Bristolians’ desire for cool, original tees for over a decade. Spread across three floors, BS8 stocks a vast selection of hip labels covering every style you can think of – from street/skate wear in the front, to dressy stuff upstairs, retro/kitsch on one side and bohemian/hippy in the back – you are bound to find something that takes your fancy no matter what your taste. And even if you’re broke, BS8 is worth a visit if only to marvel at the cool paint job.
This legendary Oxford Street store has been fitting out London’s cool kids with street wear since 1986 (I remember buying some MC Hammer inspired ridiculously baggy jeans here back in the early 90s). With a vast selection of eye-blisteringly colourful tees at reasonable prices (considering the location) if you’re on a t-shirt hunting mission in the West End then you simply must pay Mash as visit.
One of the many former Quiggins shops forced to relocate, Resurrection now boasts a massive store in Bold Street but their constantly evolving stock has retained the quikiness beloved of Liverpool’s finest such as The Zutons and the Coral.
