I'm not a big vintage shopper. I just lack the magic it takes to find clothes that fit in the colours I want without paying a massive premium. But I'd like to be, to find cheaper clothes and help cycle down some of the mindless consumerism that invades both Calgary and me. So a place like Trends is perfect for my kind of shopper, because they take all the hard work right out of it.
The clothes are organized by type (pants, jackets, blouses), colour then size, so it is relatively easy to navigate the store and find the right stuff. They focus a lot more on casual wear than office wear, but most of it is stylish and recent it. It is called Trends for a reason!
They also have a growing section of new clothing, which I enjoy glancing at as well. That in addition to their large collection shoes and handbags, their makeup (not used) business in the back, and the jewelry mean that Trends can be a one-stop-shop for many people.
