Superdry

This particular branch of Superdry is pretty good, for a shop on Park Street it’s pretty big and spacey inside making it a pleasant place to wander around in checking out their stock. However, when comparing them to the alternative branch in Cabot I would definitely say the Cabot branch is better — it’s just a lot bigger and has a lot more stock — as well as more sizes.
The clothing they sell here is definitely on the higher price end, and their style is along the lines of Jack Wills — except a bit cheaper than Wills most of the time… for example, you can expect to buy a hoodie for around £45 and trackies for around £40. Although it’s expensive you have to remember you are paying for the brand, and in my experience their stuff is really good quality. I own a few hoodies and trackies from here and they have lasted me ages — they’re really thick and warm too!
In this store the staff are really friendly and happy to help if you can’t find what you need. The one major drawback of the place though is that they don’t offer refunds — only exchanges — and for such an expensive shop I think this is ridiculous, so you really have to be sure about what you’re buying before you purchase it!

I just don’t get it, to be honest. I really don’t get it at all. I mean, the stuff in this place is not only ridiculously overpriced, but it’s also thoroughly bland — and on top of that, they get you to do all of their advertising for them, by wearing the Superdry logo all over your chest/​legs/​face. As far as I can tell, it’s a brand aimed solely at people with too much money and a complete and chronic lack of imagination. It’s quite possible that I’m just too old to appreciate the trendiness of a place like this, but I don’t care. As far as I’m concerned, it’s rubbish.

I had never heard of Superdry before I moved to Bristol so I was pleasantly shocked when I was introduced. The shop is large, with actually probably a bigger section dedicated to men than women (which is quite rare these days!). Nonetheless there is more than enough clothes to satisfy both sexes.
I think this store is well designed. It’s cool and collected without being too ‘rah rah’ (students will understand this term). This particular store has lots of changing rooms and you rarely have to wait too long to pay at the till. They have a well stocked selection of clothes and I like the way they have every item in every size.
I dropped a star because they have insanely loud music playing that I can even hear myself think (whoa, I sounded old then!)

In this shop they’ve hit both the boxes for quality and for quantity. It’s a pretty big place and it’s rammed with all sorts of clothing from socks and pants up to some very nice jackets and coats. Most of the stuff is, as you’d expect, made by SuperDry but there are a few other brands providing some fairly chic items and accessories.
I have to admit that for some reason this shop seems pretty male dominated in terms of their stock. True a lot of the stuff is probably unisex but the specific girl’s section is quite small and not ever that busy. Back in the boy’s side many pretty nifty items can be dug out from the crammed racks but none of it is that cheap.
Herein lies the only slight issue I have with this shop. The quality and the quantity are ticked but the price tags really do seem to be punching above their weight. It’s hard to find a bargain and there are rarely any sales.
Good, standard street wear with a price tag.

This is more of a servival guide tip, or disguise if you will…
Now, as artistic and accepting as Bristol is, there is one culture that is sometimes ratther exclusive and difficult to access, this is the young student culture (or one specific sections) and if you want fit into specific clubs, sections of town or just gain more acceptence from a group then a superdry outfit is a must!
You may have heard this section of society been refered to as ‘rah’s’ (not sure about the spelling!?). Regardless of that Superdry is a good store, a great selection of casual trend cloth’s. Worth a look in if you’ve got a bit of birthday money to splash out.

Walking past the window of Superdry I was instantly drawn in by their American-​style plaid shirts and their rootin’ tootin’ cowboy boots. Sadly that was where the fun ends, because inside there’s nothing very exciting to be had. The clothes are obviously of great quality, but the prices are pretty high for quite average looking stuff.
The girls section is made up of quite unflattering styles, which seemed as though there were just smaller versions of the male fashion range. I’ve yet to see a girl looking hot in a baseball cap and loose polo shirt. The boys section looks much more interesting, with leather belts with heavy buckles and heavy denim jeans.
