Advantages: Huge range of goods, usually good quality

Disadvantages: Not bargain prices

Debenhams has got to be my favorite department store for clothes except for perhaps the wonderful "Zara". The clothes are of generally high quality and there are dozens of designer makes to choose from; Tom Wolfe , John Rocha, Parkes and Red Herring being some of my favorites. The prices are reasonable for the quality and design, though not bargain prices, expect to spend £40 on a top and £30 on a shirt. You will find occasional bargains however, and for girls the sales are particularly good (not so good for men)

In addition to clothes (store depending) they also sell shoes, perfume, makeup, computer games, wedding dresses, kids/boys games, home lighting, dining etc, and have cafes/restaurants (I worked in one of these, very popular but heaven nows why). For gold card holders (get in store, its a discount card) there is also the gold card lounge with free tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

One very good part about Debenhams is the free personal shopper service whereby you can ask any member of staff to get you a personal shopper who will help you choose and outfit for whatever occasion or just to look good. Dont know much about fashion? get a personal shopper to help you out =).

Overview:

Not the cheapest store by any stretch of the imagination but certianly affordable and fairly reasonable for what you get in most cases.
Having a free personal shopper and makeup artist help you choose what clothes and makeup to wear is a great advantage.

Summary: A great place to shop for special occasions and when the recession is over.
