I love Freespirit. It’s not the cheapest place, but it’s a bit less pricey than some of the other surfer/skater stores, and it’s got some really nice casual clothes. I particularly like the summery skirts, although I can’t seem to quite get the right size. The staff are very friendly and happy to recommend things and have a chatter. They have some nice backpacks which are great if you like to cycle around Oxford — easier to carry than a satchel or a shouler bag. The best thing, though, is the flipflops! They really are the comfiest in the world, and worth every penny. They sell lots of flipflops, but you’ll know the ones I mean the second you try them on. They also do them in different sizes, which is definitely worth looking for. Top tip: Buy your summer stuff for next year at the end of the season; it’s much cheaper and simple bikinis, sandals and summery accessories won’t go out of fashion from one year to the next.
