Clothes from the UK with delivery to Ukraine give you access to one of the most diverse fashion industries in Europe. Britain gave the world the Burberry trench coat, the Barbour waxed jacket and the Fred Perry polo, and it is also the home of fast-fashion online giants such as ASOS and boohoo. It is just as easy to find basics for the whole family, quality classics that last for years and new designer pieces. Below we explain what is worth buying in the UK, what to keep in mind and which shops to look in.
What is worth buying in British clothing shops
First of all, British brands that are either not sold in Ukraine or cost noticeably more there: outerwear from Barbour, Berghaus and Regatta, Lyle & Scott knitwear, Hackett and Paul Smith shirts, and Monsoon and Seasalt Cornwall dresses. Second, basics from high-street chains: Next, Marks & Spencer and Matalan sell quality T-shirts, jeans, pajamas and underwear at reasonable prices, and their children's clothes are often cheaper than in Ukraine. Third, sportswear and outdoor clothing: the British live with rain, so they know how to make waterproof jackets well and affordably.
The best time to shop is during the seasonal sales. Black Friday at the end of November, Boxing Day on 26 December and the January sales are the traditional dates when discounts in British shops reach half price or more. The summer sale starts at the end of June. Chains such as TK Maxx and MandM Direct work like outlets and offer branded clothing for less all year round.
British sizes: what to keep in mind
The main pitfall is sizing. Women's clothing in Britain is labeled UK 6, 8, 10, 12 and so on: UK 8 roughly matches EU 36, UK 10 is 38 and UK 12 is 40. Men's shirts are often sized by neck circumference in inches (15, 15.5, 16), jackets and sweaters by chest circumference in inches, and trousers by waist and inside leg length. Children's clothes are labeled by age, but it is better to go by height. Before ordering, always open the specific shop's size chart and compare centimeters rather than letters: the fit varies between brands.
The best clothing shops in the UK
ASOS is the largest British online fashion store, with thousands of new items every week and petite, tall and plus-size ranges. Next is good for family shopping: women's, men's and children's clothing, plus shoes and homeware. Marks & Spencer is a classic of the British wardrobe, especially for underwear, knitwear and pajamas. For colorful children's and women's clothing, check out Boden, and for branded classics, Barbour. Department stores such as Selfridges and Harrods offer a wider choice of designers. Shoes to complete the look are easy to find in the shoes from the UK section.
