5 Favourite High Street Shops

I thought I’d do a post about my 5 favourite high street shops. It was quite difficult choosing 5, as I go into pretty much every clothing store every time I go to town! But, after much deliberation, I managed to narrow it down to just 5, so, in no particular order, here are 5 of my favourite shops on the high street.

Topshop is my favourite shop to go in. I struggle to go into town without paying Topshop a visit, and find it even harder to come out empty handed. I find it hard to believe that little over a year ago, I owned nothing from Topshop. Although some of their items are a little pricey, I believe that ‘you get what you pay for’ is true for Topshop, so you are getting good quality clothes that will last, even if you are paying what seems like a lot of money for them. I also love Topshop’s range of jewellery and nail polishes; if I don’t buy any clothes then it’s more than likely that I will come out with some jewellery or a nail varnish!

I think Primark can be slightly hit-and-miss. Sometimes, I’ll go in there and see loads of things that I like, and other times I’ll see nothing and be really disappointed. However, the fact that it is so cheap means that it makes it into my top 5 shops. Who doesn’t love a good bargain? I also think that, while some of the clothes are a bit ‘out there,’ they do have some really nice pieces that you would be paying a lot more for if you were to find something similar in another shop.

I find Ark to stock a mix of the sort of things you would expect to find in shops such as Topshop and River Island, but for a much cheaper price. As well as it being cheap, the quality is good as well. They sell a great range of clothes; from pretty summer dresses to party dresses, to casual wear and vintage-style shorts, as well as being up to date on all the latest trends. I’ve only been shopping at Ark for about a year, but that’s long enough for me to have completely fallen in love with it!

I have a love/hate relationship with H&M, mainly because I find my local store to be really bad. It’s always quite busy and there’s no sort of order to where things are; it just seems to be clothes all over the place so I really struggle to find what I’m looking for. However, the store local to where my dad lives is much better, so whenever I am stopping at my dad’s and I go into town, I go to H&M and am more likely to come out with a new purchase from there, than if I was shopping in my hometown store. Despite this, it doesn’t stop me loving the clothes that they do, so H&M still makes it into my top 5 high street shops.

Finally is River Island. I find River Island to be quite similar to Topshop, in the sense that it is quite pricey, but you do get decent quality clothing. I think that River Island is good for summer clothing as they always stock a really nice range of skirts and shorts. Also, I love going in when they have a sale on because, despite the mania, you can easily find a good bargain. I don’t really own that many things from River Island (probably mainly because of my lack of money!) but that doesn't stop me from loving the shop.

So there are my 5 favourite high street stores. What do you think? Do you agree with me, or are your favourite shops different to mine? Let me know in the comments, I would love to hear what your favourite shops are!
