Advantages: Quality, unusual

Disadvantages: Pricey, large sizes

I worked for Fat Face for just over 2 years between 2002 and 2004 and I remember when I first joined, thinking the clothes were dowdy, not very trendy and too big and shapeless. I remember the transition as they started to make pretty clothing, and then expanded their range to include toiletries and jewellery, and became a regular customer since leaving them.

The clothes now range from size 8-16 in all items as they always did, with some items available in 6 and 18 too. Menswear has the same size range as it always did.

Fat Face used to be all about practical outdoors wear, and some technical kit as they call it; eg skiing clothing and equipment and surfing paraphernalia. They then branched out and opened more stores, which they filled with more wearable, accessible, fashionable clothing, although it's still all practical.

Clothing from Fat Face is not cheap but it lasts for years; I still wear items from 2002. The shops are practical and are modelled on ski chalets with wooden interiors and some trendy features like sawn up VW vans and corrugated iron.

You are able to transfer in, mail order or buy online for items if you cannot find them instore; the staff are very helpful with this. They also have a very good returns policy and you can refund items bought online/mail order in any of their stores.
