oh, topman

I must confess that I have had a crush on TOPMAN for some time. This British super-trendy, affordable retailer offers an excellent merchandise selection and I have been visiting their site very regularly, which often caused me to daydream of the clothes. But not for long! On my recent trip to Barcelona, I did some serious card damage and realized why Europeans prefer it over H&M. We, people in the U.S. usually think of H&M when words such as trendy and inexpensive come across. Now, I do not have anything against H&M which I am very fond of, but TOPMAN has a much killer, sexier merchandise because:

• carries XS
• crisper, fresh color palette
• 28 waist actually fits like 28, not 30-31
• perfect skinny jeans for men
• overall fit is superb
• no boring brown polos

According to a rumor, TOPSHOP (women's of TOPMAN) is planning to open up a store this coming spring 07 in Manhattan (of course, where else?). No word on TOPMAN as of yet. Keep your fingers crossed, boys.
