View Full Version : Help - cheap but smart work clothes? rayray 23-09-2003, 10:05 Please can anyone help. Where should I go in Sheffield to buy smart work clothes (female) without spending a fortune? I start a new job on monday and the dress code is much smarter than the place i work now (jeans/cords and a t-shirt!). I think i need a whole new wardrobe! cheers ray max 23-09-2003, 10:15 TJ Hughes or TKMax. One's in Orchard Square and the other is in Castle Square. I can never remember which is which. Good luck with the new job. rayray 23-09-2003, 10:23 thanks max, i'm going into town at lunch Lindseyw 23-09-2003, 10:54 Dorothy Perkins - very smart - very cheap rayray 23-09-2003, 14:11 tried matalan at lunchtime and brantano - bought sensible shoes from brantano for 30quid but not much to catch my eye in matalan. mostly really synthetic shiny material suits so didn't buy anything in there. off to meadowhall tonight then. anyone know what time it is open till? mikey 23-09-2003, 15:04 10pm I guess My beloved goes to a shop called More Posh Than Dosh - its like all decent brands but seconds, she has got some good stuff from there. Trouble is its on Eccy Rd (Just up from Endcliffe Park)........lots of murders and dodgy people selling TV's in pubs and its a red light area (Only joking.............its a long story) TKMAX is good for designer stuff at cheap prices. tinajones 23-09-2003, 16:02 get yer sen ta 'new look' wi' all ovvers. or theres that 'cool surge' on chapel walk that has knock-off brand names. *Twinkle* 23-09-2003, 16:37 New Look always has a kind of "Work wear" section with some nice ladies suits and fancy work tops. Cheap too. alchresearch 23-09-2003, 17:09 Primark is good. hullmackem 23-09-2003, 20:16 Definitley go to Asda for work stuff, its cheap and smart. Shirt and ties are £7 !!! a pack.:o babygem 21-04-2004, 13:37 Primark is great for clothes. I used to know somebody who works there and their ladieswear comes from the same place as the stuff in Topshop and menswear from Burtons factories - at less than half price! I got my dad some modern trendy jeans for £10 in Primark last week, and saw an almost identical pair for £34 in Burtons - ridiculous! Ladies vests are £2 compared with £6 in Topshop and Miss Selfridge, and they do workwear too (ladies trousers and skirts for £6-8 each and jackets for £10-17 each - bargain, and good quality too). Hope that helps :) qazitory 22-04-2004, 21:09 I would try Primark, Asda or Tecos. mimicraze 22-04-2004, 22:15 i got quite a few tops from tesco for my interviews and work but the best place ive seen (as i was having the same problem) is Dorothy Perkins sale Hillsborough, got some gorgeous tops for a fiver. so id go there :) dont get too stressed about it :) Mimi x fuzzy 22-04-2004, 22:45 Originally posted by mikey 10pm I guess My beloved goes to a shop called More Posh Than Dosh - its like all decent brands but seconds, she has got some good stuff from there.

More Posh has a branch in Crosspool too. Other than that agree with Asda, Primark, and Matalan. |
