West One is situated in the newer part of the Milton Keynes shopping centre- Midsummers Place and…read moreit is one of my favourite shops in the whole centre. It is a good sized clothes shop that sells really lovely fashionable women's clothes and I always think that they look really classy too. The shop looks like it will be expensive as it has an expensive look to it, but really the clothes are not too dear at all. They are a bit more expensive than places like New Look, but on the whole I think the clothes are good quality and affordable. The store has a really nice layout to it and the clothes are often displayed in a colour coded fashion so if you are looking for a red top, all the red tops would be in one place. It gives the store a great look to it and is easy for customers to find what they are looking for. There are plenty of changing rooms and the staff are helpful in this store too.

This store I believe is good value for money, yes it does sometimes seem a little pricey like a pair of black trousers will cost you £30 but then they do last a long time, so its values for money. The store is pretty big inside and has plenty of room if there is a sudden rush of customers, there are also plenty of changing rooms and someone is always manning them so there is help there if you need it. They sell dresses, trousers, smart tops, casual tops, skirts, shoes and accessories.

LK Bennett is a shop full of beautiful shoes and bags, close to being accessory heaven; there is…read morealso a small range of clothing. This branch is located in Bicester Outlet Village and offers substantial discounts on the main range. It is also worth noting that this shop sells off sample items, so you can purchase bags and shoes that you are very unlikely to see on anyone else. The stock is organised both by size (shoes) and by colour, (bags, shoes and a limited stock of clothes). It is easy to narrow down the selection if you are searching for items for a special occasion. Don't be put off coming in here if you have large or wide feet; my feet are frog shaped, and I have still been able to buy some lovely summer shoes here (although the boots are far too narrow for me).

I would rate Jaeger number one in Bicester. The staff are very helpful, the clothes are swish and…read morethe range of sizes is excellent. I'm a regular-legged 36 and I can always find something I like to fit me here (try doing that up at Paul Smith). I love Jaeger quality - looks great for ages. My favourite jumper is a lovely mid-blue cashmere round neck I bought here, from a really lovely lady assistant. The jumper is amazingly warm and comfortable, but I have just worn a hole in one elbow after three years (working at a computer all day), so will be back to Jaeger for another one when I get time, in the December sales maybe.

The staff are all knowledgeable and helpful without being pretentious, rude or condescending in anyway. If, by chance, what you're after (size-wise) is not in the shop, they are more than willing to try and locate it at another of their stores. The sales -when they happen-are fantastic (excellent value for money) One of the better, if not THE BEST, shops in the Bicester Village complex

Make sure you join their mailing list as they regularly send offers for 20% off and invite you along to special evenings where they decorate the shop, provide free drinks and give you a discount! The last one I went to was a hawaiian theme! The staff dressed up and there were inflatable palm trees everywhere! While I was waiting to pay I helped myself to free fairy cakes and they gave me a goodie bag! Can't ask for much more.

They sell a wide range of women's clothes and compared to the Topshop above I would say that it is aimed to slightly younger girls/ladies and their clothes are certainly more 'dressey'. Everything is reasonably priced to quite expensive, but I have never had anything of bad wuality from there. Staff are nice and helpful and it is nice to be able to wander into topshop with your shopping. Worth a visit.

If i find an item i like, i find it impossible to find my size. It seems that the staff have been told by their managers that NOTHING can be put in the stock room, so it is ALL crammed out. Looking for a particular size is HARD because you can barely move the items without throwing them on the floor first. I fail to understand why a store would possibly need 12 size 8's out on the shop floor at one time. What happened to stock rotation and replenishment? There is a bell on the desk to make yourself known when you are waiting and there is nobody at the till. When i worked in retail, you would NEVER leave the till unattended. Big fail. One time i was stood at the till for a while longer than expected, and people behind be began to put their items down and leave. I had rung the bell several times, and a member of staff looked at me as if i was asking the world just to be served. I only shop in this store if there is something i really, really want. Its not a pleasurable experience for me.

This rather posh shop is excellent for really good quality men's shirts. Nothing too outrageous,…read morebut a nice range of inoffensive colours and sizes. Personally, I don't find it too interesting, but there are men who swear by them for their office shirts and they certainly seem to last a long time. The shop does smart coats and suits as well and the service is impeccable. If you want the city look without city prices (it's still far from cheap, but the clothes here are often quite heavily discounted), definitely give it a look.

This is another good place for presents for people, although it doesn't really scream 'Oxford', and it's probably best for people who appreciate unusual, decorative things. It's a great shop to drag friends who like that sort of thing into, although it's another thing trying to get them out again! The prices are generally quite reasonable, and the staff are friendly, even if it's crowded.
