    I would choose Next or Debenhams. Actually I would go to Debenhams - find the suit I wanted then come home and order the same thing online - going via Quidco for 4%, using one of their 15% off and free delivery vouchers (which can be found on Hotukdeals) - and you've saved 19% on the price!

    I like Debenhams trousers - their hems don't fall down like Dorothy Perkins (I swear that every pair of trousers I've ever bought from DP has managed to last about a week before the hem comes away!).

    Thanks for your reply. The only suit I own presently is from Next (which has been wheeled out for interviews for the past 3 years) and I do like it, but may treat myself to a new one for an upcoming interview. (If I get the job I may be buying a couple more as it may be calling for suitwear more often).

    I'll defo check out Debenhams- thanks for the suggestions. (BTW New Look's hems also fall down all the time)

    Good luck for your interview! BTW Laura Ashley (they have a nice blazer with a white outline if you are looking to make a statement: http://www.lauraashley.com/Jackets/CONTRAST-TRIM-BLAZER/invt/jk223blackp&bklist=) also have some nice well made suits - so do M&S - have a look at these online. However, I would still opt for Debenhams for choice and the online discount! :T
