Emphasizing fast fashion - that is trendy of-the-minute clothes, shoes and accessories - one is likely to find everything she or he (Topman is the male contingent of the brand. Opened in 1974, Topman operates a website and many stand alone store separate from its big sister) will need in their wardrobe. As much about following the trends pushed by high fashion labels from Paris, Milan and New York City, Topshop has also been known to be a major influence for many independent designers.

Stocking the coolest of wares at fair prices, Topshop has expanded from the UK into continental Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and even the United States in recent years. Despite the convenience and immense revenue generated by through globalization, nothing is better than shopping the brand in the UK. With flagships in Liverpool and on Oxford Street in London (the largest store in the Arcadia Group’s profile), the Topshop at Birmingham’s futuristic Bull Ring complex is our favourite pick for shopping the brand.

Abounding with garments both classic and directional, the store stocks items from Topshop’s Boutique range and collaboration with model, Kate Moss. Centrally located to many fine amenities and Birmingham hotels, the Bull Ring and its cool boutiques like Topshop make for a great day of shopping in the West Midlands’ capital.
