Paul Smith
A great British brand. Known for it’s classic style and designs. The beautiful store is a newcomer to New Cathedral Street but the brand has been associated with Manchester for years with stores previously on Bridge Street and the Avenue. If you want a proper fitting shirt and a classic suit, Paul is your man.

Harvey Nichols
Another Manchester icon is Harvey Nichols. The quintessential department store, it has an extensive luxury offering and is definitely worth the hike up to the Menswear on top floor. Great for a pay day treat.

Selfridges
It underwent a massive facelift a few years back (which saw the Food Hall disappear) and since then it’s gone from strength to strength attracting some of the biggest fashion names around. This is definitely one of the places to go if you are either a footballer or have some extra cash to splash around.
