everything was beyond awful. Horrible colours, shapes and materials. I really just wanted a new plain long sleeved t shirt but left empty handed. So uninspiringSad

I really don't like that shop, I always find it very drab somehow. Zara for basics like t shirts

My Next is always stuff full of stuff too,but none of it nice.The office wear looks cheap and dated.

I did however try on some skinny jeans and they were sooooo comfy.But I heard that they bag after a few washes.

I dunno what's happening to Next I use to like alot of the stuff in there.

Alongside their absolutely hideous work clothes, there were a few 'Christmas office party' outfits. Utterly depressing. Could have easily been at BHS.

I don't get Next.

At 33 I've never owned a single item of their clothing.

So dreary and frumpy.

I saw a few ok things in there today but anything halfway decent was out of most sizes! I'm generally pretty unimpressed with much of the A/W stock that I've seen anywhere and some of the prices are eyewatering Shock

Usually I'd agree with you but I've just bought this black cord skirt and I really like it. It's short-ish, sits above the knee and fits really nicely.

But I have just bought a lovely skater style work skirt from there and it's great quality and fits really well. I'll shut the door on my way out!.....

itsnothingoriginal · 02/10/2013 20:29

That's one of the things I was actually keen on InsertBoringName! They had one left and not my size - obviously popular Smile

It used to be really good for basics but I struggle to find anything there now. And the lines are the same, year on year. Have you looked at their kids clothes lately? Awful colours and so expensive. I picked up a duffle coat for a 6 year old, it was £62. WTAF?

I usually really like Next and always get vouchers for xmas but last few times I've been in I've been so disappointed. Garish, odd shapes just horrible.

Sadly I haven't found an alternative at the same price point.

I would agree with you in general. Don't normally like Next at all, but bought a couple of their T-Shirts and they fit perfectly, good length and shape etc.

Not sure if the log sleeve ones are the same fit.
