One of the high street’s leading names when it comes to up-to-the-moment menswear, Topman is virtually unparalleled in terms of sheer variety and value for money.

The British retailer is always quick off the mark with new trends, meaning it’s already well clued up on side-stripe trousers and stocked accordingly with styles that are cropped at the ankle or offer a pop of colour.
