I totally agree with your comments - i hate Next clothes with a passion. All their clothes are overpriced and fit really badly - I would much rather spend my spondoolies in River Island or wait until House of Fraser have their spectacular. I think one of the reasons people seem to like Next is that they can provide the basics to many peoples wardrobes (not mine) and due to the fact that they are overpriced to start with means that when they have their sale, people think they are getting a bargain - Fools
for menswear, i think next is probably the best on the high street.
everywhere else justs stocks, in my opinion, chavvy clothes.
next is the only place i can find a shirt which is just a shirt, rather than a shirt with bits cut out and sewn back on or big faded emblems on the back or bits that are nearly worn through, etc.
i think you can get a few good pieces in there - i've got a great evening dress and some really nice shoes. but as for jeans - dont even go there! They're cut really 'sensibly' i.e extra material on the thigh, and the waistline is so high i thight they may have got simon cowell in to design them... urgh!
I agree with shaneystar - please don't tar all council tenants with the same brush jridgeback! We own our own home, but I do know some very nice, smart people who have live in council houses.
Anyway, I used to buy most of my work suits from Next - they fitted well & were of a very good quality. However, I didn't used to buy many other items from there, so can't really comment.
I agree that I don't know why Next has got such a great reputation. The clothes don't seem to be any better made than in other high street shops. I personally like Principles.
I used to work in a rich area of London and I'd just like to say that the rich often look awful as well. I'd see these money wearing several thousand pounds of clothes and still managing to look ghastly.
Well I love Next - their clothes fit me perfectly, I find many trousers & jeans too short as I'm tall but only a size 8/10. I have never found any problems with quality & my son loves their things for the same reason as secretsquiz. I don't have a House of Fraser in my town so I can't comment on their sales.
I agree with shaneystar & smudge your comments about council estate people are out of order, I wonder why you felt it necessary to say that.
