With its plethora of independent stores and high-quality charity shops, Broughty Ferry is often a hub for stylish shoppers.
So, as locals made the most of the winter sales, we headed to the Dundee suburb for some fashion inspiration.
Here are six of the best looks we saw on Brook Street and Gray Street.
Nicola Divine, 56, from Kirkcaldy
What do you do for a living?
I work at a primary school.
What are you wearing?
The scarf is from Bella Mella in Broughty Ferry, the jumper is Jaeger, the boots are from Wonders and the handbag is from Boden. I can’t remember where the coat is from, but it’s fabulous!
How would you describe your style?
Classy and high-end.
Where do you like to shop?
I don’t shop anywhere in particular. I just like good quality, stylish pieces, such as pure wool and cashmere.
I’m not adverse to shopping in charity shops because it often allows me to buy high-end stuff I ordinarily couldn’t afford.

I don’t have one, I just buy things that I like.

I buy a lot of second-hand stuff online. I also really like charity shops, especially those on Perth Road in Dundee.
