Cheaper, Bargains, Sales - everywhere I look, stores are pricing their goods cheaper right now. Summertime is clearance sale time. Yesterday I was on the Zeil at a southern European fashion chain to exchange something. I used to go there often. Lately, I'm hardly attracted to their offerings. Raised eyebrows is more like it. Which isn't necessarily because of the clothes. It's more the environment. If the store looks like my room did when I was a teenager, with more clothes on the floor than hanging on the rack, I want to walk out backwards. Oh dear, I'm starting to sound like my father ;-) Anyway. When I go shopping, I look for a neat ambience where the goods are on the shelf and the service is attentive but neither snooty nor pushy.
In fact, in one store on the "Neue Kräme", a saleswoman actually followed (followed? ;-) me wherever I went and immediately folded every item back onto the shelf as if it were her personal property. So I'm sure you understand that I consider the criterion "staff" for my shopping tips away from the fashion chains and department stores.
Many of my acquaintances who live outside Frankfurt don't know anything else to shop than the city center. That's all well and good. It's also fun to stroll around the five shopping centers, (<link https: www.frankfurt-tipp.de insidefrankfurt s shopping fuenf-ausgezeichnete-gruende-fuer-das-einkaufen-im-shoppingcenter.html _blank>Good Reasons to Shop in a Shopping Center) whose offerings are quite impressive. But to limit the opportunity to shop to Zeil and shopping malls would be a shame.
So I rolled up my sleeves, scratched my head a bit to present you my current favorite corners and shops for shopping.
STREETSTYLES SHOP BY THE SWEDES
On my way to swing workout recently, a super casual store on Kaiser Street caught my eye. "Weekday. Heard of it? And what can I say? I go to workout once a week and every time I walked past it, I found something at "Weekday"
While their target audience is usually half my age. But if you're just looking for a trendy sweatshirt or modern cut white t-shirts, you'll find it there quickly. The t-shirts are reminiscent of Victoria Beckham's expensive cuts, but of course can be had for much less. Since the smart woman plans ahead, as the Frankfurt merchant Mayer Amschel Rothschild once preached to his children, I immediately packed three of them in different sizes. "Weekday" is a Swedish jeans and fashion brand inspired by street styles and youth culture. As I said, timeless basics can be found there for every man and woman.
VINTAGE SHOPPING AND FASHION
Great cinema is the opening of "Pinko". The Italian "it" label is now not only at the airport, but also at the Opern-Quartier. The fact that the shopping experience is really spreading away from the Zeil towards the Alte Oper and beyond Goethestraße through the new buildings seems not to have gotten around yet. Perhaps some people assume that only expensive luxury brands are behind it?
But a rectangle has been created around Goethestraße that is really worth seeing, thanks to the charming shops in the upmarket, but also partly affordable segment. In addition to men's outfitters, which naturally fit the proximity of the banks like dry cleaners for shirts and blouses, the <link http: neue-rothof.de shopping _blank>"Neue Rothof" in addition to Pinko, the shoe store "Hogan", the fashion store "0039 Italy" and the trendy bar "H'ugo's" have also settled.
On the other hand, if you prefer to set your very own trends and shop in vintage stores, Frankfurt has plenty for you to rummage through, because the ladies from Taunus regularly need space in their wardrobes, which means they feed their once-worn designer shoes and clothes back into the value cycle at "Aschenputtel". Observed it myself in the store ;-) Vintage shopping is an idea that I personally really like. <link https: www.frankfurt-tipp.de insidefrankfurt s shopping vintage-shoppen-was-ist-das-denn.html _blank>You can read more about vintage shopping here.
