Bershka
I've been shopping at Bershka for years. Owned by the same company (Inditex) as Zara, it is a cheaper, younger version. Whatever the season, Bershka is always stocked up with fun, trend-led pieces, which reflect the cool, European vibe that is influenced by it's Spanish ownership.
Shop online here, or in store at London's Westfield Stratford or Oxford Street.
Stradivarius
Although owned by the same company as Bershka, Stradivarius, which is fairly new to the UK, is quite different. Stradivarius is all about laidback, pretty pieces, and they do detail very well, but their basics are always spot on too, and extremely affordable.
Shop online here, or in store at London's Westfield Stratford.
Monki
Monki is one of my favourite shops for browsing (and of course buying!). Not only is Monki's store a colourful, magical wonderland, the clothing's pretty damn great too. Monki specialises in clean lines and cool cuts, giving many of their pieces an urban edge, however you will also find some very unusual designs on selected pieces.
Shop online here, or in store at London's Carnaby Street.
