Advantages: Quite cheap, good selection of colours/sizes

Disadvantages: No student discount, not very exciting

~*~ H&M ~*~

As you will be able to tell from my reviews, shopping is one of my favourite things to do ever. I can happily spend hours (probably days) browsing the high street, happy to look and not purchase - although of course shopping without money is always frustrating! H&M is a shop I have never really found myself getting excited about, and one I often forget about to be honest with you!


~*~ About H&M ~*~

H&M are a fashion retailer with stores throughout the UK, Europe, Middle East, Asia and North America, which shows they are a success! H&M aim to provide fashion and quality at affordable prices to women, men and children. There are a variety of different ranges and brands within the store, including a maternity and baby range, teen range and accessories and lingerie. Although the store caters for a variety of age ranges, in all of the stores I have visited the womens department is always significantly larger than the others, and I think this is their main target market.


~*~ The stock ~*~

H&M sell clothes you would expect to find in any standard clothing store. Their womens department, for example, is home to a selection of cardigans in a variety of different cuts and colours, T-shirts and vests, and a selection of shoes. The mens department holds the same sort of clothing. It is not a high-fashion store and I have never found anything ground breaking or up-to-the-second in fashion, but its nice for little basics.


~*~ The prices ~*~

I can't say for men, but prices are on par to slightly above the prices of New Look - around £12 for a cardigan, £5 for a t-shirt and £30 ish for a pair of jeans, which come in a variety of lengths and fits which is great and much needed for people like me (short!)


~*~ The verdict ~*~

H&M is a nice little clothes shop and is always one of the first I think of going to for little plain t-shirts and cardigans or something more formal for work. However, it's not a store I can get excited over, and the stock seems to change very infrequently, so it is for this reason I go to Topshop for my evening and fashion clothes! Not a bad store, but never going to be my favourite.

Summary: A good basic fashion store
