There are a number of reasons for this, namely the rise of designer like fashions on the high street, the low cost of clothes from stores such as Primark, more disposable income and more choice.
Though the high street still commands the bulk of retail industry spend the last few years have seen a rise in the growth of online clothing stores that appear to be able to produce and provide the goods we want often for a fraction of the store cost.
I must confess that sometimes I would much rather shop online than battle the city centre particularly on a weekend when it seems that getting pushed from pillar to post in the crowds has become part of the shopping experience. When it comes to shopping can you really beat picking and choosing from the comfort of your own home?
I don't honestly think I ventured into town over the Christmas period, why would I? Horrible weather, throngs of frustrated shoppers, queues at the check out, no place to park - ugh! I promptly got myself online and ticked every pressie off my list and all I had to do was sit back and wait for them to be delivered to my door.
The whole experience was so good that I started doing that for my regular purchases - birthday gifts, cosmetics, toiletries just ordinary stuff that I no longer have to trek into town to buy - it's fabulous!
