Tommy Hilfiger

OK. I do prefer to shop locally or buy British and then European made goods but sometimes you just need a classic, well made, long lasting article of clothing to round out your wardrobe. And if you’re my hubby — you want to buy the same style time after time. That’s where this Tommy Hilfiger shop excels. The styles of khakis/​chinos, jeans, button down shirts rarely change year to year; which means what you buy will stay in style for ages and if you do need to replace a favourite item — chances are it’s still being made — or at least something very similar. So, when he needed a fresh pair of smart looking khakis we bypassed the department stores and went straight to the source. This dedicated shop has the biggest selection of Tommy Hilfiger around for men and women — more styles, more colours, more sizes than other places in town and lots of items on sale as well. In fact, they seem to have more in back than on the floor and the helpful sales assistant was happy to make a fuss over us and search out every style and colour of khakis in my hubby’s size. Some had slimmer profiles. Some had a more athletic cut — it was surprising what looked so similar actually did have different fit. Finally, after several attempts we found perfection combination of cut and colour resulting in a happy hubby and a happy salesman (and a delighted, somewhat exhausted, wife).
During the trying and retrying of the khakis, I did have a peek upstairs at the women’s department. Very preppy, very classic and definitely not my style; there also seemed to be less of a selection than downstairs for the men. But, again, probably more Hilfiger Women’s clothing than you would find elsewhere.
All in all, a pleasant and successful shopping experience. We even got an invite to an evening soirée launching the new season; and some socks. Can’t forget the socks!
