Is there anything good in Next

I am heading to a Next tomorrow and will be the only place to have a peek before I head off on holiday. I don't atually need anything and am absolutly not normally a next person. I like a funky indie chick look and always thought Next was a bit old fashioned. Is there anything I need to look at while I am in there? Just had a quick look online and nothing stood out.

I've liked recently
The spot black shorts - floaty, shirred waistband
Oversized t shirt - drapes nicely and long enough to tuck and I keep wearing it so bought more!
Summer sun perfume - bronze goddess dupe

I get jeans from Next as I need a 34" leg and there is always a good choice. I also buy their Forever Comfort shoes and boots as I now have old lady feet, otherwise the clothes seem mainly market stall tat now bar the odd gem. I do use them for next day delivery every now and then for branded stuff like Seasalt.

Lol I wouldn't go near anything from Primark. Neither new or second hand. Cheap crap literally designed to be worn a few times & thrown out.
I've got loads of stuff from Primark that's lasted years and still going strong including a fake fur cream jacket several blouses, a decent swimsuit and gym wear. I've got a few sets of PJ's I like and are wearing well.

Primark's kids' stuff actually washes and lasts really well. I bought a sweatshirt with embroidery and sequins for DD1 (then about 1) not expecting much - she wore it loads, then passed it on to very messy DD3 and it still looks great. I've bought more from there on the strength of that one and found the same.

Agree re Primark - any of the clothes I've bought (including for children) have lasted well. I've received Primark hand-me-downs for my daughter - she's worn them and they're still in great condition to pass on to cousins. I have tops, cardigans, PJ shorts and a jacket that I'm still wearing a few years on from purchase.

I have a Next beside my Tesco and keep a regular eye, a lot is dreadful but have got some lovely stuff there at times also, particularly summer stuff - dresses, handy linen trousers and white and broderie tops and tshirts. I also remember when it was so much better, I worked there as a student.

I have half a dozen colours of those cap sleeved t-shirts too; there's a mango one I especially like. I have a couple of denim skirts from there, one blue one black, but until I bought those a few months ago, I hadn't been in Next for myself for years (I buy pants and socks for DS there). Try as I might, I can't find anything else. Next is not recognisably Next anymore.

I only shop in next when I'm a bit fat as there sizing is ginormous and makes me feel better.
