Top Ten Glasgow Fashion

Best for... Vintage
Watermelon, 603 Great Western Road, 0141 334 3900
Selling sixties clothes at knock down prices, Watermelon is excellent for one-off pieces and it smells lovely as well.

Best for... Brights
Pink Poodle, 181 Byres Road, West End, 0141 357 3344
For the brightest colours, Pink Poodle is a whole summertime of pastel pants and cutesy clothes. The favourite of Wendies (girls from the West End) it sells clothes that are designed, according to the owner Tracy, to put the "za-za-zu back into your wardrobe."

Best for... Blowing the Budget
Fifi and Ally, Unit 51 Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street, 0141 229 0386
Voted one of the best shops in the world in a recent poll, the ladies behind Fifi and Ally have welcomed celebrities from across the world into their shop. Quite pricey, but never prohibitively so, it's a Glasgow institution and the jewel in Prince's Court's crown.

Best for... Boutique
Starry Starry Night and Betsy Grey Jewellery, 19 Dowanside Lane, 0141 337 1837
Essentially a vintage costume shop, with the most outré styles from the past, vintage wedding dresses and various interesting looking styles. In the same premises is Betsy Grey's jewellery, which specialises in unique pieces and is equally famous in Glasgow.

Best for... Jeans
Aspecto, 18-20 West Nile Street, 0141 221 6321
A bit pricier than most high-street shops, Aspecto offers something different, with designer jeans from Nudey (a make favoured by Pete Doherty and Kate Moss) and an assortment of lovely designer trainers. Better than Diesel, but stocking a similar look, Aspecto is a great, fairly cheap way to get posh clobber.

Best for... Shoes
House of Fraser, 45 Buchanan Street, 0870 160 7243
Their collection is extensive, and the old fashiioned service means you can be waited on, quite literally hand and foot.

Best for... Casual
Primark Stores, 171 Sauchiehall Street, 0141 332 9097
The envy of Edinburgers who know their styling salt, last year's structured military jackets flew off the shelves before you could say 'eek, Edith Bowman's wearing one' and those were a snip at only £12, keep your eyes peeled for future bargains.

Best for... Designer Bargains
Urban Outfitters, 157 Buchanan Street, 0141 248 9203
Still a jewel in Glasgow's shopping crown, along with their own lines, the sale is a mouth-watering delight of designer discounts.

Best for... New Talent
VV Rouleaux, 94 Miller Street, 0141 221 2277
Essentially a haberdashery, VV Rouleaux is a frilly heaven of buttons, ribbons and vintage fabrics. Intended for the brave and talented that make their own clothes, it is nonetheless a fascinating visit for anyone interested in customising their own fashion or any casual shopper.

Best for... Alternative
Hellfire, 101-105 West Nile Street, 0141 332 4200
Handy for hanging out miserably outside the modern art gallery, Hellfire is the perfect place to tart up your favourite goth. Whether or not Goth will ever be fashionable, they sell spiked bracelets, flasher trench coats and various items your grandmother wouldn't approve of.
