Firetrap

You’ve got to love Firetrap clothing. The amount of unique little bits and bobs I’ve managed to pick up from there over the years at the stores and sample sales is truly staggering. This is a great example. You can get everything here from simple vests and shorts to really quirky patterned dresses in unusual styles and super little jackets.
The accessories are also supreme. Firetrap do some amazing shoes, for both men and women, and even some tasty scarves and the odd bit of jewellery as well as wallets. If you’re at the more unusual end of the fashion spectrum and like to wear stuff that’s slightly out there and outlandish, it’s a great place to begin. The fits are very flattering and I find the fastenings tend to be designed for ease, with a lot of poppers being utilised. This store is a great addition to the chain and its location in the Met Quarter feels very high profile — not the cheapest shopping expedition, I’ll agree, but the sales here are truly spectacular.

I’ve never been a fan of Firetrap particularly but have to admit, I am loving the Carrot jeans they have this season. Available in classic blue, faded blue, grey, oatmeal and chocolate, they have rib pockets at the front, are bunched around the waist and stop mid calf.
For those that prefer their jeans to reach their ankles, they stock Regular, Slim, Loose and Boyfriend jeans in a variety of colours with comical names like Broken Bleach, Drizzle, Fly Wash and Oil. I suspect what makes them this store so popular however, is the mix of classic jeans, shirts, jackets and tops with fashion trends like skinny vests, cargo shorts and playsuits. Everything is priced around the same mark as brands like Bench and Diesel and the staff were super-​friendly when I went in.
Now, where did I put my pair of Dirty Wash?
