Aspecto

Items arrived (to the U.S.) quickly and were packaged well. I emailed to change my order shortly after placing it and customer service was pleasant and changed it with no hassles. Would definitely order from this site again!

A thriving independent, Aspecto is a shop aimed squarely as men that like to dress in smart casual threads. Located in the Triangle Centre, they sell a strong range of trainers, suede boots, shoes, jeans, tee-​shirts, polo shirts, jackets and accessories. Amusingly, they also stock Humour Clothing’s Santiago jeans — which I can’t imagine many Mancs wearing since they have a droopy crotch and skin tight ankles!
Prices are reasonable, the staff are welcoming and as a bonus, new customers are offered a loyalty card which gives them a point for every £1 they spend at Aspecto. The payback? When you reach 500 points, you get a £50 voucher to spend in the store.

The boys tend to love Aspecto as a man alternative to Schuh and Office, especially the footwear conscious man-​boys, who don’t really like going into places like Schuh and Office without their girlfriends in tow, lest their manliness be called into question. BUT, Aspecto, with it’s trendy manly music, well, hip hop type beats, it’s a safe sanctuary for the trendy, two birds one stone.
There are some excellent footwear brands in here, the elusive and rather exclusive Y-​3 Adidas line, in addition to Uggs, Adidas, Timberlands, G-​Star, Nike, and others, clothing is interesting too, G-​Star, Adidas Originals, Carhartt, Belstaff, Penguin etc, good quality fashionable men’s wear.
The best time to hit Aspecto is Sale season, which sounds like a redundant thing to say, but I actually scored some ladies Timberlands in the sale for £70, which had £60 off them, holy significant saving, my friend got £70 off a G Star jacket, there are some serious reductions on the jeans too, so it’s a nice store to have a mooch around in.

The first thing I noticed when I popped into Aspecto is that it stocks those Ugg Boots that every single girl (and now even some of the boys) are wearing.
Aside from this wholly unoriginal range, it’s a decent enough designer clothes shop. There are loads of jeans and some pretty cool print t-​shirts for boys. Some of them were on sale for 20 quid.
Thankfully Aspecto doesn’t have any of those t-​shirts that have loads of crappy sequins and sparkly bits sewn into them. I hate those.
Aspecto is in the Triangle shopping centre, which means that it’s often fairly quiet. Means you might get a bit of attention from the sales staff if you need it.
