One Clothing

When U2 asked, «Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?» in their well-​known hit (aptly named One), I knew they weren’t referring to this clothes shop, but I couldn’t help myself…
While I wouldn’t say I was disappointed with One, I would say I wasn’t bowled over. The clothes really are expensive, and even with a sale on, I couldn’t find all that much I liked, and to be honest, the money side of things put me off properly hunting. There were a few stunning garments in the sale, and yes, I did spot a gorgeous dress for £30, but when I asked myself did I really need it, the answer was no, and I would probably find something equally as nice for a bit cheaper elsewhere.
As far as the full-​price new season stuff was concerned, I decided against having a look, for fear of my eyes popping out of my head at the prices. The style of many of the clothes isn’t really my thing — I like cute prints, florals, skinny jeans, shirts and that sort of thing, but most of this stuff was a bit too eclectic for me.
And in answer to U2’s questioning, «Is it getting better? Or do you feel the same?», I’m afraid it’s got to be the latter. My mind hasn’t been at all changed during the course of my review. Sorry One…

One is an upmarket designers store wedged in between a printers shop and a barbers on Ballyclare’s Main shopping street. It’s a small, quiet shop with some nice *EXPENSIVE* clothes. I have to say, they’re prices I wouldn’t pay, but I’m a bargain hunter and don’t see the point in paying full price for something you can get discounted elsewhere (or the same thing, minus the label and about £50!) So because of this it’s not a store I’d highly recommend but if you’re a label-​a-​holic then you’d probably really like it. They sell Bench, Super Dry, Lee Cooper *insert label here* type clothes. Some of their stuff is quite nice, but their prices just aren’t!
