Sir Philip Green’s fast fashion retailer became London’s must-visit shop during the aughts. It’s still going strong with a mix of fun party clothes and trendy staples. And the selection for men is quite good, too. What’s more, it’s expanded beyond Europe to Asia and North America.

The Pros: Amazing collaborations with the likes of Christopher Kane and Preen; perfect party dresses.
The Cons: It’s way more expensive in the US than it is in the UK due to exchange rates and shipping. And everything is so trendy that at some point you feel to old to shop there.
