Usually I would say DP's clothes are reasonable priced, decent quality and great for work, every day wear. They also do nice costume jewellery and accessories and pretty good shoes.

I have a big mixture of jeans in my wardrobe from designer to high street. My oldest pair are 10 years old from Internationale. They cost next to nothing, fit perfectly and wash like a dream! Not all their stuff is like this but it is worth a look. Beware though, you probably have to be under 25 to get away with buying most of their stuff and under 20 to get away with lots of it. One thing I do still go in there for is tights. £2 or £3 and just as good as Marks more expensive pairs.
