The UK high street is undergoing a significant overhaul in 2025, with a substantial number of fashion retailers declaring store closures across the country.
From big-name brands like New Look and River Island to independent shops such as MBAS Clothing, this wave of closures mirrors the ongoing challenges faced by physical fashion stores, including escalating rents, staffing expenses, and the supremacy of online shopping.
