[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 70105, member: 5063"] I'm not a female (did the beard give it away?) but my better half is and she's got loads of smart-wear! It's like anything really, really does depend how much you're looking to spend as you can get stuff at all different levels of the market - same goes for men's tailored gear. Next and M&S are both staples for her, although she says that Next fits pretty small, good enough quality without breaking the bank. She's also bought bits and bobs from Dorothy Perkins, TopShop etc (RIP), and it's all decent enough and pretty accessible. John Lewis would be in a similar category, and TK Maxx can also be great but hit or miss.
