Topshop arrived at Nordstrom online yesterday and in select stores (luckily, my Nordstrom is on that list!), and while I can’t say I’m IN LOVE with everything, there are quite a few pieces I like. Although nearly everything looks like it has a twin at Zara…
Faux leather sleeve army jacket | $130
Embellished jacket | $190
Chambray shirt | $60
Leather skirt | $190
Black/White sweater jacket | $72
“Matty” blazer | $130
A-line trench | $158
I’m looking forward to going to my Nordstrom and try some stuff on, but I’m not sure I’ll find much to buy. I don’t have any experience with Topshop clothing, besides admiring it from afar, and would assume it runs small, like Zara. I did buy a leather bag from Topshop many years ago, and it was very well made; a great value for what I paid for it, so I have been impressed with the quality in general, but still, the prices seem rather high.
Have you tried anything yet? What is your experience with Topshop?
I live in NYC so have been able to shop at the store in Manhattan as well as in London and in Norwick (UK) where my MIL lives. My experience is actually that things often run a bit large, especially the knits. But I think that’s more how the English sizes get translated into US sizes– a UK 16 is supposed to be the equivalent of a US 12 but in reality is a bit larger. My impression is they don’t recut for the US market.
I confess, I have never shopped at Zara.
My assumption has been that Topshop is probably Jr. sized, not misses. Plus, I don’t think I’m really their demographic. You gotta’ know where you belong! And, sometimes (sadly) it’s just not my party. 🙁
that’s interesting – thanks for the feedback! i’m really interested to try some of the pieces in person…
I was there today And it was a lot of studs…….
haha! yeah, they do a lot of studs…
