Hey Guys,
Ok so this is my first post, and I basically created this account to ask this question. I live in Australia, but I leave to go away to London in about 8 hours. I thought I'd spend some money when I'm over there and get myself some new clothes. So for the last week I've been online checking out what styles and trends are happening in Summer for you guys in the Northern Hemisphere and all that (since we are one season behind you guys down here). What I've noticed is that what you guys think of certain brands is different to how they are percieved over here (for example many people belittle Abercrombie but in Aus its pretty "cool" because its not avaliable here - its popular in America and rare in Australia). This could be because we are isolated in Australia, or we are generally ignorant (probably the latter).
In any case, now I'm confused as to what I should be buying in London. I've heard Riverisland and Topshop are good but then its pretty much on par with Abercrombie from what I can tell. So when I'm in London, what should I be buying? Any brands I should avoid? What information should I be armed with? Does anyone have any suggestions or specific clothes? For reference I have about 400 pounds or a bit more.
I'd search some more but I'm pretty busy unfortunately (and yeah I realise I left this post a bit late). Thankfully I'll have the net when I arrive in GB so I'll check this up again when I get there and just before I leave Aus. You guys seem like nice people so i'm sure you can help me out
Thanks in Advance
