Three Shops

The perfect spot to play dress up in a bid to blag your way onto the guest list, Mr Ben offers quality, retro clothing at affordable prices. It’s also the apparent birth place of up and coming Glasgow rockers Glasvegas.

Rummage through the racks to find that perfectly soft tan leather bag, circa ’75, that’ll have your mum reminiscing of her youth. Fight over that perfect faux fur coat that’s the spitting image of that one you saw in Vogue – Mr Ben’s is a relative cavern of fashion goodies.

The biggest range of electrifying, eclectic clothing in the city – but, sorry, the 70s Y-fronts on display aren’t for sale.

Now that you’re suited and booted, there’s only one thing left to do. Head on to Avalanche Records on Dundas Street, with branches in both Glasgow and Edinburgh to impress your trendy new friends with your musical knowledge.

It’s also the perfect spot for seeking out rare names to try impress Mr Rock ‘n’ Roll when it’s overcome by your new Sienna-esque look. And you never know you might meet as your rummage through the vinyl.
