I like shopping here, they have a lot of things in my price range and dress size. It's a bit packed but not too bad and the dressing rooms are big enough. Not a trendy fashion shop, but something for most mums. read more

Huge department store right in the centre of town!…read more This Debenhams boasts a beauty and perfume department, large mens, womens and childrens clothing departments, as well a large homeware, electronics and toy department! Great for birthday or xmas shopping, you could easily have all your needs met in this one shop. There are easily accesable toilets and even a good, well priced cafe. Parking is close by, and staff are eager to be helpful. Can get busy near to xmas though!

I find it a bit of a chore to work my way around the store to find anything but at times I have found a good bargain. The store is generally clean and tidy, just has a lot in it. There is a large range of gifts, especially now in the run up to christmas but I would say they are a bit pricey. This is made easier by the fact that they seem to have a sale every other week.

Its a little bit smaller but just as lovely and they have some different stuff here from the one in Chichester so thats why i get tempted to visit both if i can. The prices are reasonable for the quality and the uniqueness. Some of the cheaper styles aren't so unique but i think you get what you pay for. I got my prom dress from Pushka and i know i had one of the most unique dresses there, as loads of girls went for the tacky princess look and regretted it when they saw my French corset dress. The staff are really helpful and friendly and if they don't have something in your size they try and get it for you. They also do bags and accessories, oh and i got some nice jeans recently.

This is a large Next store selling womens, mens and childrens clothes. As it is an outlet store it…read moresells last seasons goods that didn't sell elsewhere. That said you can pick up a good bargain here if you are willing to look hard. I find Next clothes very good for work and as such it doesn't matter as much if it isn't up to date fashions as blouses and suits change very little between seasons. The store is spacious and offers plenty of room for browsing. When there is not a sale on the prices are still good but the store is a lot more tidy. As in all Next stores when a sale is on you have to rummage hard to find what you want. Unfortunately there are no changing rooms in this store which means that you might have to gamble on something fitting you. However the staff are willing to exchange goods if you find an item does not fit when you get home.

They have everyhting you needs, lingerie and socks, suits and shoes, accessories, and both quirky bright and funky to smart casual clothing. The staff are bright and helpful, although sometimes the popular items sell out really quickly so they can't help with requests. The only real issue i have with this store is that the changing rooms can be packed full on busy daysbut i suppose that is to be expected by its popularity!
This is probably tied with Topshop and Jane Norman for the best place to buy clothes. The designs…read morehere are just as unique and sometimes the shapes are offbeat in a haute couture kind of way, but what sets it apart from the other two is the extremely low cost along with the high quality. Sadly, because of this a lot of the popular stuff sells out quick, and because this is a 100% allocation branch they rarely get stock back in once they sell out, as I used to work there and they have a huge stock room to house their one batch of a particular top/dress/jacket etc. The staff keep to themselves and don't bother you, which is nice, but they're too busy tidying up the constant piles of clothes strewn across the store. This is because the shop tends to cram out as much as they possibly can, which also makes for difficult browsing if you've already got a handful of stuff. Be wary of going on busy days, as the fitting rooms will be a distant possibility, and it's best to head for the children's area as the tills there don't tend to get too busy. Lastly, a good thing about the company is that they don't use sweatshop labour; if they find a young child working in a factory they will take them out and pay for their schooling. This is a nice thing to know in light of the low cost of the clothes, as many will think it's from exploitative labour. I'd recommend shopping here in general, but be prepared to hunt for some good bargains, especially during the sales.

I like next, some of their clothing is really good quality, plenty of items in stock this summer just gone, and no matter which store you go to in any city, it's always consistent really, offering the same throughout. This store is nice and large and offers all womens and mens range as well as little ones. Only thing i dont like, is the annoying catalogue person on the door asking you to join up and pay for a catalogue each time i go it, bin it next, and move on to the NEXT one!

The staff always seem to be working very hard to keep the cutomers happy and they are always very friendly and helpful.

The Body Shop sells toiletries with various fragrances. This means the store smells lovely and I often find myself wandering in after deciding to treat myself. It also sells a wide range of gifts if you are short of ideas for female relatives. The staff in this store are very attentive and friendly. I have had them approach me on entering the store to see if I need help. As the store is often quite empty this can be quite intimidating to have the staff watch you browse but at least there is someone there to help if needed.
Before QS moved to it's new postion on the high street it was always a pleasure to shop in. However…read morethe new internal design is quite dingy and dated, and doesn't give off a pleasent atmosphere. There is also now only a tiny changing room as opposed to the nicer ones it had before! The clothes for men are very good, and good value. However the clothes for women can sometimes be quite hit and miss in terms of style, but you can normally find good accessories like hats and scarfs. They don't seem to cater for a wide market in terms of clothing. At the back of the store there are a few homewares etc, but nothing remarkable. The staff are friendly and efficient, but there is normally only a couple on the tills and none wandering around the store helping you.

The designs, cut and colours of the clothes are always unique but accessible, so you feel like you're wearing something high-fashion in that it's different from other stores, but without such a ridiculous price tag. The shoes and accessories aren't bad either, but the absolute best thing to go shopping there for are the underwear and socks - they often have really cute designs on them (pandas, cartoon policemen etc) and always have offers if you buy in bulk (3 for £7 etc). The staff are aways really helpful - my Dad said he had printed off a 30-page (heh heh) wishlist of clothes from their website that I wanted for Christmas, and one of the sales assistants gladly took him round the shop and helped him find whatever they had in stock - and this was on Christmas Eve!

My experience here is definately take a friend with you to help decide your outfit as staff are minimun and rarely wish to venture on to the shop floor! This is, however, a great place to buy shoes and boots for ladies whos feet are longer than the average i.e size 9 or are wider round the calves for most other boots , as they will fit comfortably.

Will actually be going to Reading in a few days, and can't wait to visit Bonmarché there! I agree with other reviews here on QYPE - the clothes are generally for the more mature woman (I'm 51) - and a lot of it I didn't like. But that's the kind of shop I like - something for everyone! Brilliant! Can't wait :-)
This is a large store based in Gunwharf Quays. It sells womenswear, menswear and children clothes…read more It has quite a good selection of clothes for reasonable prices. The clothes they sell are quite plain but are good quality basics. The store is designed well with each section easy to identify and the tills located in the centre. There is plenty of space between the shelves so you can have a leisurely browse without getting too stressed. As it is an outlet store it does not have all the up to date lines, however as it is best for basics these never go out of fashion. The only downside to this store is that I don't believe it has any changing rooms which means you may be faced with a trip back if something doesn't fit you once you get home. However that gives you an excuse for another shopping trip.
