It's hard for a man past his trainers-and-designer-jeans phase to dress well within a budget. This exemplary high street chain offers very trendy lines without making concessions on its rather conservative and minimalist essence.

Clothing is mostly neutral in color, but they do let some color in if seasonal fashion involves bright shades. Prices aren't as low as in most high-street stores, but they aren't sky-high either. Reiss has recently introduced a women's' range, which is much the same style wise as the men's range. It has branches in most major shopping areas.
