New Look: For That Fresh Summer Style

Stashed away in the deepest southern depths of buzzing Chongwenmen is a branch of the popular British chain New Look. On the ground floor of Glory Mall, and easily spotted from the street, it’s not huge, but it does stock some of their great women’s collection, with less frills, bows, and cute kitten patterns than many Chinese clothing brands. There may be even more to look forward to in the future, as a salesperson hinted that the space next door, currently not in use but covered in New Look posters, might allow for a future expansion.

Surprisingly for an imported brand, prices are pretty reasonable. Shoes are between RMB 99 and RMB 399, with a range of sandals, flats, and even heels, while tops and shirts with funky and cute summer patterns go for as little as RMB 129. They stock a range of jeans too, and have just got in a fresh selection of flowing summer skirts and patterned trousers. And then there’s the accessory section: a dazzling array of jewelry, hair accessories, and bags of all different sizes and colors.

All in all, if you’re looking for an update to your summer wardrobe, but don’t fancy the higher-end brands and haven’t quite figured out how to get stuff delivered to your door, this store is worth a visit.

Note that the range of sizes in China is not the same as in the UK. Women’s clothes go up to UK 14 while shoe sizes go up to UK 6.

New Look also has stores in Daxing District, Tongzhou District, and more. For all their Beijing store addresses check out their website at www.newlook.cn/storelist.
