Goodhood, Garbstore, Kafka mercantile, the bureau, all blues co, blues Bristol, consortium, seven store, keep an eye on Marrkt, hipstore sale, will be interested to see what emerges from the dust of Oi Polloi, epitome of Edinburgh ('womens'wear mainly but very cool).
Kestin Hare Edinburgh is also really nice
but really I do most of my shopping on Vinted and eBay 😅
Sunspel, Community Clothing, YMC are a few more good UK brands to look out for. Reiss might be a good option too
Wax London
COS
Uniqlo
Muji
NEXT
GAP
Form & Thread
John Lewis
Etsy
Ebay
Markett
Moss Bro (lol)
Working Class Heroes
Grailed
UW
Albam
I browse a lot more (most mentioned above by Cdf + Tunnocks) but never end up buyin anything
Would add that most major towns/small cities and up have at least one boutique that stocks alright stuff, and they're often a good place to hunt for deals/sales.
Adding some more that aren't mentioned above
Mr porter
Mytheresa
Labstore
Clutch cafe
Son of a stag
The modern draper
Vertice London
Autograph Birmingham
The Allotment Store
Collard Manson
Layers London
Peggs & son
hervia
trunk clothiers
Dover Street Market
Coggles
Browns
Stuarts
Not ordered from all of these personally so do your own research
Have you had good experience with work class heroes? Read some trust pilot reviews before so I wasnt too eager to buy feom them
Any in London that you would know?
Article often has decent reductions but actually London is in some ways the worst place to be for this. In London I'd be looking for designer sample sales, I've had some steals from story MFG, Nicholas Daley at sample sales in London.
Bought like a hat from them for like £40 iirc. So didn't matter.
Probably wouldn't buy anything expensive given the grim reviews. Or just use a credit card for better consumer protection
They're fine.
That said, lots of stores to go to instead
Clutch Cafe, Percival and YMC all mentioned above have their brick & mortar shops in London
Really basic but I've been liking m&s for basics
London is definitely great for sample sales, there are a few pages to follow for those but I’m a big fan of the box in Hackney. They frequently put on some really interesting brands 🙂
I've liked the look of Rivet & Hide and Labour Union recently. Mainly as I've been getting into raw denim but they have cool stuff and both have stores in London I think

American but I love a lot of British clothing. I buy a lot of my shirts from Charles Tyrwhitt. I also have a Barbour jacket for when it’s raining/cool outside.
honestly, Vinted.
I'm not from the UK but I often shop in UK stores because many stores there have better sales. I would suggest you to take a look at:
Flannels,
Cruise Fashion, (Flannels Group)
18 Montrose, (Flannels Group)
Matchesfashion
This! You can find some great stuff on vinted 🙂
For a while they had loads of obviously bot listings, all at £100 I think. Have they fixed that now?
Use your noggin! (It's better these days).
There are still a few but they are usually easy to spot because they’ll always have random cent values, eg £100.43
Picked a lovely le laboureur work jacket from there the other day for 40 quid. You do do have to filter a lot by brands because theres an ungodly huge amount of Zara/H&M shit about, but some real gems
tres bien in soho, it's quite hidden
Hey, I usually shop at Reserved, TK Maxx, Zara, Uni Qlo, Traid.
I'm trying to steer away from fast fashion but my wallet isn't happy about it.
Marks and Spencers mens suprima cotton t-shirts own my ass.
