Overall Rating:
Seriously, WAIT FOR THEIR SALE if you want to get anything from Cotton On.
When they hold a sale, man, it is really a sale. A lot of their clothes prices are marked down by a lot, some up to 50%!
I think that their clothes are quite comfortable, although the fabric is quite thin, it's soft and comfy!
The shop wise, i must say that it is ALWAYS crowded. The clothes are always messed up (by the shoppers) so it will be difficult to actually enjoy shopping in there. But if you're looking for something cheap yet comfortable, tolerate the crowd and you'll get your reward=)

Does not have a good impression, looks like my room when i do not clean up for week. All the racks are filled with overflowing clothes. Crews are shouting away. Climbing here and there! It just too messy!!
Material of Clothes
I had a polo tee and shirt from there, it is just okay! But the berms and shorts there looks abit thin and fragile! So just a little suggestion, if you are not the gentle sort, please do not buy the berms. They definitely does not look that durable at all.
Last of all, i feel that they should just stop stocking up like every 5 minutes! It is really irritating.

i been there on a weekday, it is also in a mess. And i dont see why are they squeeze so many clothes under one rack. Really bad concept.

To be honest, I don't really like Cotton On even though their stuff is very affordable. But really, $30 for an average top is not exactly that cheap, right? The material for certain pieces are quite lousy too.
On the other hand, you cannot expect great service and a comfy shopping time there. There are tons of people in the store every day even on a good weekday afternoon. The queue is extremely long because there is no maximum number of items for trying. OMG! It's like sales everyday!
On a happier note, I cannot deny I have never bought anything cheap and useful from the store. I like their cheap grey sneakers, the summer hat and the yellow flat pumps from the recent arrival. So far, shoes at $14 to $19 are really wonderful buys! If you manage to find your size for the grey sneaker, grab it! It's super comfy! And if you have to check outthe store, do go at the safest hour!

cotton on is THE place to go if you want to get those basics. especially now that there is a sale going on, u shld really go check out the items if u haven yet!
i got a cardigan at just $7.50, and i must say it is really a steal! quality is decent if you ask me, so i think is it really value for money.
there are a couple of outlets arnd, wisma, ps and parkway (these that i noe of) so be sure to check one out soon!

ITS THE TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN! THE GREAT SINGAPORE SALE!
The GSS is crazy enough to send all sane women's pulses racing at the thoughts of the crazy deals and the chance to own something so expensive that we will usually not buy. Every single time we women flip over the slashed down price tags, we will squeal silently and let the sales cloud our judgments and purchase the coveted items. (Though the chances of us never ever using them is pretty high too)
For me, I like to think of myself as a pretty rational shopper. (Who wouldn't be now? Look at the inflation going around. The exorbitant price of oil! What is the government going to do? Sorry. Sidetracked. One last question: Don't you feel that this year GSS isn't as happening?) So to avoid overspending on during this very crucial period, (And to avoid eating bread for the next few months...) the smart thing is to choose the right stop to shop in.
On any usual day, one would be able to get pretty good deals at Cotton On already with loads of offers going at 2 for $20 tops and 2 for $30 and more, etc. But during a sale, the prices are much more insane... (To the point where you will suspect whether you are actually in Orchard Road at such prices. XD) I actually bought a pink and aqua cardigan at $10 each and a gray mini dress at $7.50! Plus, the best thing about Cotton On is that they have a wide range of basics to choose from so you wouldn't have to worry about purchasing an item that you wouldn't wear in the future. =)
However, the downside to Cotton On is that you can't expect to have much service in the shop as the shop is usually always crowded with people. The salespeople are too busy maintaining and tidying up the place to help. The structure of the shop is also rather awkward as the fitting room is located at a rather hard to get to location. And with the amount of people in the shop, fitting is always a hassle.
So be prepared to face some inconvenience which at the end of the day would always be offset by the prices. And when you go home with the purchases with a smile on your face, you will know that it was all worth it. (",)
P.S. I sorta of disappeared from Yebber when my school started last semester. I was way too caught up with my schoolwork and after-school activities. Well, its the holidays now - so time to take a break and surf Yebber again! Yeah!

ahh yes. finally a vintage-inspired retail branding that doesn't bring TOPMAN into mind. I remembered passing by this rather peculiar sounding shop and going 'it better turn ME on'. and it did !
Some of the tees i got at the wisma outlet were one of a kind. (although by now, i suppose singaporeans would be smart enough to catch the value of this store). The unbeatable prices, the never-ending discount corners, and lo-and-behold, the beautiful salesgirls. :)
Sometimes, you walk into a store not expecting a surprise. But with Cotton On, EXPECT a surprise. One of the vintage tees i got was apparently made in Bangladesh ! I don't know about you, but i find it quite amusing.
Do yourself a favour and walk into CottonOn, (PS or Wisma), and you'd definitely want to grab yourself something. Be it the $15 tee, the $5 flip flops, the $20 shades.. trust me.. you'd WANNA get something unique.
Oh...and if you're going with your girl, bring extra cash. Its apparently got a hypnotic effect on ladies. (my wallet went $100 poorer at PS outlet)
Overall, a cute unique retail outlet which deserves some talking about.

The first time i've been there it was the prices quoted that caught my attention.Made small talks with the people working there,and gathered that Cotton On was founded in Australia.This is the first time they launch an opening in Singapore.The design of the clothes ranges from vintage to trendy wears.Bought a number of clothes and am very satisfied with their service.
I've just caught their new store at Plaza Singapura.Should check it out.Great place to buy nice clothes at affordable prices!!
Looking forward to shopping there more!!
