New Look

sometimes you may get a bargain in here but generally i feel that the prices they have on the tags are not worth the material hanging on the rack. and add that to the markup from sterling to euro you so feel you are not getting value for money!!!
the only time worth going in is when the sales are on and then i may check out the assessories and scarfs and things.
new look seem to be attempting to challenge the standard high street fashion shops but i think it is more of an overpriced penneys. oh and where do they get their styles? black and white plaid is so last year.

I just find New Look so unexciting. Unlike its name, it does not tender any innovatory ‘new look’ to us, the buying public, but instead stocks a collection of clothes as humdrum as they are tasteless.
New Look’s manifesto declares; ‘You love the excitement and limitless possibilities that fashion provides, and that ‘wow’ moment of finding that must-​have item.’ Having gone into their shop and seen their stockpile for myself, to say this is an inaccuracy is, sincerely speaking, a very gentle way of putting it.
The shop is awash with tawdry ditsy print dresses, tacky striped peplum dresses, crude leopard print tunics, ghastly stud trim vests (a particular turnoff), horrible frill crop vests, magnetic bling stud earrings as well as the particularly disconcerting transparent knitted tunics that you can see your bra through. Obviously I understand that the shop is not going to stock hoodies nor sportswear of the same caliber as Adidias or Abercrombie and Fitch but I have never seen such shoddy hoodies anywhere as those sold within this store. The ones I am speaking of have such counterfeit phrases as ‘Daytona 1971 Athletics Club’ written across it. It’s like they don’t even try to make their stuff convincingly decent.
A consistent theme amid all of New Look’s garments is that everything is made from a very shoddy, thin material. I look at all this stuff and wonder whether any of it will survive past it’s first spin in the washing machine. Nothing boasts any kind of integral shape, with most of the tops hanging off you like a shabby poncho.
According to what is written on some of the labels, their clothes boast ‘Paisley’ designs — I wouldn’t have known from the patterns alone however owing to their inadequate appearance. Instead of reconstructing authentic Persian or Indian textiles what surfaces are something akin to juvenile scribblings.
If you want to pick up first-​rate quality clothes with a pioneering twist marketed towards the young adult then bypass all of the counterfeit clones such as Warehouse, Oasis, Next and especially New Look and head straight to somewhere authentic like TopShop.

Many of New Look’s customers are teens. When I visited, a trio were having the following conversation. «She wears gorgeous clothes… But her fingers are rotten and she’s always caked in makeup.» Luckily, the staff members are friendlier and engage in complimentary banter with you when they ring up your purchases.
Inexpensive, fashion-​forward clothes are New Look’s stock in trade, and it does it well, as long as you aren’t hoping to buy something that you can pass down to the grandchildren. The shoes are also great value but step away from the jewellery racks — cheap but decidedly not cheerful.
Oh and something to note if you have been on holiday across the water… The sterling prices displayed on the tickets are much cheaper than their euro equivalents but New Look does give you the option to pay with your leftover UK money.
