French Connection

I’m glad to see that French Connection have long since ditched that awful «FCUK» thing they had going a few years back. The brand became a bit of a pariah for a while as heavily gelled council estate lads strutted round town with pretend swear words emblazoned across their chest. I still tar the company with this brush, even though they’ve long since moved on.
It’s now a fashionable store for fashionable people. Very good, but not really for me.

I love French Connection and this store is certainly no exception. It’s a very bright store and everything is well organised, with immaculate window displays and the store split in two, separating guys and girls clothing.
Every time I go into a branch of French Connection I always end up drooling all over all the gorgeous dresses. I’m still kicking myself that I never bought a gorgeous yellow sequined dress that I saw here years ago — it was stunning.
Some of the dresses are in the range of £200+ but when you see all the detail and quality, it doesn’t seem all that much. They’re also not really every day dresses and are more for special occasions as they really have the «wow factor». I also noticed a range of rather affordable items and they have a gorgeous striped blue dress with sequined shoulders for £40, it’s beautiful and would look good on it’s own or tucked into a pair of jeans.
The staff in here are also very friendly and it’s just a really nice place to browse.
