Most people in the UK tend to shop in chain stores like Top Shop and New Look and as such our high streets have become a catwalk for the bland and same. It's about time with the boom in Internet fashion people began to seek out new and different ideas for their outfits. Imagine the horror of turning up to a party or arriving in the office only to find the exact same outfit on another person? You need to get out more and shop differently. Even large cities usually have some boutique gems tucked away down a high street where the shop rents are a bit cheaper that will stock different and unique clothing.
The fashion industry is in danger of producing a country of clones, with shops like Primark offering such cheap goods that most people are walking around with yet another printed tshirt and jeans that looks like everybody else. There is a place for the high street shops and if you are able to buy up and then remodel the clothes, there are some terrific blog to help with remodelling and this can be fun and inventive way of creating unique designs using cheap high street clothes.
Showing a unique fashion style is now eye catching and can boost your confidence as you get asked where you got your new top from, or that funky tshirt your wearing. Also with Facebook and other social media you can see what shops your best dressed friends are using for their clothes so even the not so savvy are able to find better clothes. The thing about independent boutiques are that they will only remain if people use them, so next time your going into top shop with your £40 birthday money have a think if there isn't something better you could be buying than a pair of bland jeans.
