The popular store is set close in a matter of days
The news was shared on social media with upset locals describing the move as the "end of an era".
While another shopper cried: "Aw I'm gutted to see it go! Spent a good 10 years in there over the years."
A New Look spokesperson said: 'Our store in Hamilton is set close on July 1. We would like to thank all of our colleagues and the local community for their support over the years.
"We hope customers continue to shop with us online at newlook.com, where our full product ranges can be found.'
The popular fashion retailer is also set to close down a branch in Neath, Wales on August 6.
One punter blamed online shopping for the closure, claiming it has "killed the high street".
While another resident said they "couldn't believe it".
New Look has previously warned it would shut nearly 100 stores ahead of National Insurance hikes which came into place in April.
Approximately a quarter of the retailer's 364 stores are at risk when their leases expire.
The brand already closed a site in Birmingham on June 8 and another store in Devizes, Wiltshire closed a few weeks back.

In February, New Look also exited the Republic of Ireland which resulted in the closure of 26 stores.
At the time, the company said: "New Look's Irish operation has struggled for some years, impacted by a range of factors including supply-chain and in-market costs, and squeezed consumer spending".
MORE RETAIL TROUBLE
New Look is not the only fashion brand facing a hard time.
River Island revealed plans to shut 33 of its 230 stores, pending approval.
A further 70 stores are also at risk, with its future depending on agreements being reached with landlords to cut rent agreements.
Elsehwere, Claire's is mulling a sale of the business leaving question marks over the future of nearly 300 stores in the UK.
The potential sale is understood to include stores across North American and Europe.
Claire's has 2,000 stores in total across both regions, with 281 stores in the UK.
