Marcs

In Europe and America, Marcs is considered «high street» — good quality but affordable clothes for the fashionable set.
Not so in Australia — the prices in here are RIDICULOUS, particularly given the cheapness with which they are available overseas. Not happy, Jan! Of course, the clothes are nice — think along the lines of Country Road or Witchery, but a little more on trend; this season, Marcs is stuffed with brightly-​coloured blazers and matching dresses.
The clothes are also seemingly well made, with an emphasis on functional design. However, none of this takes away from how DAMN EXPENSIVE THEY ARE — $ 200 for a sundress? Come on, Marc; let’s play fair.
Despite what I consider to be highway robbery, Marcs is packed with young professionals getting their late-​night shopping on when I visit one Thursday night. Youthful people with a high disposable income are most certainly the target market in here. Accordingly, those of us who aren’t dressed in corporate gear are not even given a look in by the perfectly-​groomed sales people. Not that I was going to buy anything, but still… acknowledgement would be nice!

A casual garden party, an office summer dress, or a cute outfit for the everyday. Marcs Sydney offers a range of well tailored attire for many occasion. It is well priced with a blazer being $ 259 and a shirt $ 139. You can pick up t-​shirts for $ 49 which is a bargain as they use gorgeous, sturdy materials. They have really risen the bar in the accessories department and there range of clutches this season are a must have. At $ 99, I want one in every colour.
Marcs style is simple yet elegant. I think if you wore their entire range you would be accused of being too conservative, but a few pieces can add class to your wardrobe. They do colour blocking well and it is huge this season, and their stripes and sporadic patterns always work.
They have a 50’s inspired dress and for the less adventurous some conservative, ladylike dresses for the office function.
Either way you can always do with some Marcs in your cupboard.
