Topshop Backlash!

Prices, lines and polyster blends...

A writer for menswear trade mag MR has some choice words for Topman. He did not like waiting in line to enter a practically empty store, he did not like the aesthetic of the men's section, and he did not like the prices: "By the time we all left, I was just as ornery as the woman who challenged the security guard when we were waiting in line. The selection wasn’t as wide as I thought it would it be (there are three floors of women’s wear to one of menswear). While the shirts and tailored clothing looked great, everything was priced about 20 to 25 percent higher than I expected—much worse if you take into account the rampant polyester blends."
