New Look

New Look is always worth a browse if you’re looking for a new outfit for a night out or just feel like treating yourself to some clothes. The prices are always very reasonable and students get a 10% discount, hurrah!
As other reviewers have mentioned, this New Look branch isn’t the best of the bunch in the franchise and it isn’t as large as some other stores so doesn’t have as big a selection but they still have a good range of all the essentials and the latest trends in store.
I got a really pretty top from here a few weeks ago, it has a square neckline and pretty pink embroidered designs on the front. It was only £12 and that was before the student discount!

Got a fab Lady GaGa t-​shirt in here today! Just had to announce that to everyone!
They also have 20% off dresses and concessions for summer, so some great bargains can be had!

Something about New Look always brings me back. I used to come here all the time when I was younger, and I still come back today!
However, I totally agree with Marj C, it really is in a grim setting. It’s not the nicest of places and is really small. It’s nothing special, and definitely doesn’t represent the franchise well.
Their clothes are really nice though, the quality is good and are reasonably priced. I got a great little jacket here for £15 — yeah it’s more of a winter jacket than a summer, but I can wait. I’m a patient person.

Quite small and in a fairly grim setting, you can sometimes forget this branch of New Look is so close to the high street. I actually spent a good while over the past fortnight doing just that, and wandered the length of Princes Street twice looking for it.
When I eventually remembered it was here, I was fairly disappointed since it’s quite a small branch. Selling a number of really long maxi dresses just now, I’ve got to say I thought this New Look were selling the cheaper looking stuff that the shop often sells. It’s an odd high street store, because you usually can either find some absolutely stunning skirts made of good quality material, or some really naff, fake frilly summer frocks that look like they haven’t been ironed. This isn’t particularly to do with this New Look, it’s common of all of them. It just seemed there was more of the latter on display in this branch, but that’s probably to do with the limited space this unit has.
They did have some of their sale stock still available, and their London range can be found at the back of the store which is a good contrast against the heavily pastel coloured window displays. They also had a number of «going out» dresses, high heels and, if you’re wanting to go casual, an amazing jeans collection.
The staff were helpful and really efficient, while also seeming to enjoy their job. That’s why I don’t want to slag this outlet off too much. It just seems, sadly, that they can’t showcase New Look’s best bits to their full potential because they are hindered by the size. It would be nice to see this central shop take its place on Princes Street proper, rather than be hunched up in here. I’m not the biggest fan of Princes Mall — it’s a bit run down for a shopping centre set in the heart of town, and I feel like this New Look may be overlooked by many because it’s stuck in here. If it had room to stretch out and sell a more extensive range of clothing that the other stores boast, it would fair better. Move to Princes St, you will prosper!

Great clothes, great shoes, great staff, great prices I love this shop. The clothes are lovely and are available for all occasions including nightwear. The shoe section is excellent and reasonably priced. They also have a range of gift products and toiletries. Not to mention their thoroughly charming range of spongebob squarepants stuff, including dressing gowns and underwear!

This store has really benefited from its refurbishment a year or two ago. Now on two floors, you’re always guaranteed to find a bargain or two in this store. Although not as big as the stores in Glasgow or Aberdeen, I don’t feel that I’m missing out by shopping here. There’s still a decent sized shoe department as well as young/​teen fashion, maternity and tall ranges. The changing rooms are quite large considering the size of the store and are clean and well lit. Queues normally move very quickly. I always manage to spend a fortune whenever I visit this store so it must be doing something right!
