High‑Street Heroes
For timeless classics like blazers, chambray shirts, trench coats, knitwear and chinos, high‑street outlets such as Uniqlo, COS, M&S, Zara, and Massimo Dutti deliver exceptional quality at accessible prices:
Uniqlo offers minimalist staples in neutral tones—perfect for layering.
COS tends toward modern tailoring and mid-price sustainability.
M&S is a go-to for well-constructed suits, knitwear, and trousers.
Zara leads trend cycles but also carries classic coats and sweaters.
Massimo Dutti leans higher-end and leans into timeless premium fabrics.

2. Challenges of Sizing & Why It Matters
Inconsistent Size Standards
Sizes vary wildly between brands—UK 12 in Zara ≠ UK 12 in Reiss—due to vanity sizing, fabric differences, fit cuts (slim vs relaxed), and inconsistent charts

Small labels (e.g. Conner Ives) may use reclaimed fabrics or unisex patterns, leading to size variations even within their own ranges

1. Measure Yourself Properly
Use a soft tape for chest, waist, hips (and neck, inside leg for menswear). Self-measurement enables smarter sizing
tellar.co.uk.2. Use Brand-Specific Size Charts
Check each label’s size guide (e.g., indie pattern brands range up to UK 34/US 30) and don’t rely on general S/M/L

Buy to fit the biggest part—better to tailor smaller than to stretch a tight fit

Minor adjustments (like darts or side seams) can reclaim an almost-fit garment
