New Look started in Taunton in 1969 under Tom Singh and became the high street's fast-fashion mainstay through the 1990s and 2000s. The pieces worth a second look are the ones that copied a trend well: leather-look biker jackets with a proper cut, cropped denim vests, the Y2K basics.
Is New Look true to size? Yes, UK sizes, and the fit is average. We still list bust, waist and length flat.
What do you check on a New Look piece before listing it? Composition label, zips and hardware, and how coated fabrics have worn at the folds, all photographed.
