GEN Z CROWNED FASHION’S BOLDEST – BUT STILL LOVE A CHANGING ROOM: NEW REPORT REVEALS SURPRISING STYLE HABITS ACROSS THE UK

A study of UK fashion fans has revealed the nation’s enduring love for the high street, rising confidence in personal style among the young, and a growing nostalgia for fashion from decades past.

The look at British fashion and shopping was commissioned by Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, in honour of its 30th anniversary.

When asked to rank personal style on a scale from one to ten, Brits gave themselves an average score of five, with Gen Zs aged 18-24 being significantly more confident in their ability to create a ‘fire outfit’ and scoring themselves a far higher average of seven.

Over 65s were the least self-assured in their fashion sense scoring just 4/10.

When it comes to Britain’s most fashion confident locations, London, Manchester, and Brighton residents rate themselves higher than the national average, with Mancunians taking top spot by rating themselves as a nine or even ten, higher than anywhere else in the UK.

Respondents said that on average they had developed their personal style by the age of just 25, again suggesting that the UK will be more confident in its future fashion choices.

Social media was ranked as the key inspiration for sourcing stylish looks, with a quarter of the nation now entirely influenced by platforms such as Instagram and TikTok when it comes to expanding their wardrobes.

And, despite the rise of e-commerce, 64 per cent of respondents said they prefer shopping in person. Leading reasons include the ability to try items on (80 per cent), judge quality in person (70.4 per cent), and avoid delivery issues (51 per cent).

While older shoppers were most passionate about this preference, for even among younger consumers, the in-store experience remains relevant—especially when enhanced with entertainment, events, and hands-on discovery as reported by respondents aged 20-30.

An Extreme Adventure Montblanc Explorer Extreme

Montblanc Explorer has always been about more than scent—it’s a passport to adventure. Since its 2018 debut, the Explorer line has invited wearers to embark on a journey through rare ingredients and masterful craftsmanship, courtesy of perfumers Jordi Fernández, Antoine Maisondieu, and Olivier Pescheux—names synonymous with luxury, having crafted for Dior, Bottega Veneta, and Acqua Di Parma.

Explorer Extreme, the latest launch from the Montblanc Family, is the boldest expression yet. Inspired by untamed peaks and remote corners of the world, this fragrance is a tribute to the fearless explorer—those who seek new horizons, whether in the wild or the city.

The scent has a vibrant, crisp burst of bergamot—bright, energetic, and invigorating as mountain air as the top note. At its heart Earthy patchouli and smoky vetiver evoke the rugged terrain beneath your boots, adding depth and texture and the base a warm amber and smooth leather create a lingering, commanding finish—sensual, powerful, and intimate.

Crafted by Masters, Designed for the Modern Voyager, the original Explorer’s DNA is unmistakable, but Extreme is deeper, richer, and more textured. Fernández and Maisondieu, the creative minds behind the scent, have built a fragrance of contrasts: freshness meets earthiness, light meets shadow, movement meets memory.

What sets Explorer Extreme apart is its Woody, leathery, aromatic profile: A sophisticated evolution of the original, with a pronounced warmth and sweetness in the drydown.

Explorer Extreme opens with a spicy-citrus blend, reminiscent of Dior Sauvage Elixir, before settling into a mature, alluring, and slightly smoky scent. While the leather note is subtle, the amber, patchouli, and vetiver dominate the journey. Longevity is moderate—expect around six hours—with projection sitting close to the skin after the initial burst.

“It’s a more grown-up take compared to the original Montblanc Explorer… For a fragrance labeled ‘Extreme,’ I expected a much bolder presence.”

Montblanc Explorer Extreme is a sophisticated olfactory adventure for those who value understated elegance and modern masculinity. It’s not a beast-mode fragrance, but its warmth, depth, and craftsmanship make it a worthy companion for explorers—of both the world and the everyday.
