...will nearly always go to Jane Norman.
---Accessability----
I find it very handy that they have an outlet in Debenhams, as there is a Debenhams department store very close to me - meaning I can shop at Jane Norman when ever I want to with out having to worry about transport.
There is also a Jane Norman just a car journey away from me in Kingston, so either way and a couple of large store near where I work in London -- so I would say , for me, these ... ...their level, I find that Jane Norman own brand jeans are very hard wearing.
Because it is likely that something will get spilt on my jeans in my line of work, I tend to just wash the same pair every couple of days.
My current pair have lasted a good six months and are still going strong.
I find them a good, comfortable fit and they don't always need a belt -, a good fit - not too tight (I am quite thin, so wary of wearing clothes which make me ...

Advantages: Range of clothes, Dresses, Sale Rail, Clean shop. Disadvantages: Some clothes tacky, bigger ladies not catered for, some things bit pricey.
...if you didn't know already Jane Norman sells clothes and the like for females. I would say the target market is probably 16- 25, although some clothes would be suitable for 30+ easily. The shop is found in any british high street and shopping centre, with the prices being in the middle, not too expensive but definatley not cheap.
Walking into my local Jane Norman, the lighting is quite dim, and the colour scheme is all black sparkles, with plush ... ...of my favourite things about Jane Norman is the fact that it is always so neat and tidy, even the sale rail is put into sections. Okay so onto the products themselves. Jane Norman sell every type of clothing there is, for me personally their dresses are the best thing.

Advantages: Has some nice items, prices are reasonable enough Disadvantages: Not a lot of variety
===INTRODUCTION===
Jane Norman is a boutique like high street store for women. Their clothes seem to be aimed at young, reasonably slim women from teenagers to late twenties. The chain has been around since 1952 and at the time of me writing this there are 157 stores in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
===THE PRODUCTS===
Jane Norman sells clothes, bags and accessories but does not sell shoes or underwear. Their style is formal, but with a ... ...to shop very often in Jane Norman as I used to find their clothes wouldn't last very long as the quality was below the standard I'd expect for the cost. However, more recently I have been drawn to their store and have bought some very nice things. In terms of pricing, the clothes seem to cost about the same as other similar high street stores aimed at the same age group, for example, Topshop & River Island. Their tops on average seem to cost about ...

== For Starters == Jane Norman to me as a teenager was always slightly too expensive and if you bought anything in there, you used the bag for your PE kit for at least a few weeks!! Now i'm older and earning, I realise that Jane Norman isn't drop dead designer, and is actually pretty affordable, and always up to date on trend. So as you can imagine, on this discovery I started popping in there every time I pass. You can actually commonly spot Jane ... ...'''Clothing Range''' I find Jane Norman a great place to go if you have a little party lurking round the corner and want something trendy and beautiful to wear. But apart from a great range of party wear they also design a lot of casual. Infact to name a few - * '''Tops''' - As the summer season is coming in Jane Norman has started doing a good range of casual tops which are great over jeans or shorts. All their designs are long in shape at the moment ...

Advantages: Clean shop Disadvantages: Rude staff, packed stores, no space to look
I first found Jane Norman when I was shopping in London! I found my experience at this shop satisfactortory. I found the shop rather over-crowded with stock and because of this there was NO space to move around and have a snoop through. At this visit I bought one pair of jeans and a dress both of which have been great products. The jeans are about the only thing I would be happy to buy from this shop. The experience that put me off though was after ... ...average products. I bought 2 wool type jumper dresses and a top. I went to wear the jumper dress the morning after I bought it and discovered a considerable hole in the front of the dress(which may I add had not been caused by me) we proceeded to go back to the shop. When we got there we were fobbed off with some lousy excuse about the jumper and that it would have to go to their 'factory' to be tested to see if it was MY fault or a fault in the ...

Advantages: Gorgeous clothes Disadvantages: Most clothes must be handwashed, expensive
Jane Norman is well known as the classiest women’s high street clothes shop out there. Although I suspect it’s aimed at young women in their twenties, it really caters for everyone. My mother is 43 and size 14/16, whereas I am 15 and size 10/12, but we can both find well fitting, trendy clothes here to suit us.
The majority of Jane Norman clothes are dressy going-out attire. You’ve got the sexy, the smart and the outrageous, depending on what occasion ... ...that you can often spot Jane Norman clothes from a mile away. I saw a similar top and dress this year, only they were light blue and had criss-cross backs.
A lot of the tops are made of the same flimsy, expensive-looking material made of over 80% polyester. Even the trousers (both wool and cotton based) feel really soft on your skin and I always feel assured of the quality when I try anything on.

Lucky for me (and my partner lol) there was a sale on.

Was rather small to be honest and it was packed so my partner had to wait outside with the kids and pram. But the store was laid out nice not much room to get around things but nice.

...visit and I didn't put Jane Norman on it but when I passed the shop I had to go in.
I have seen many Jane Norman shops but I didn't go in because I wasn't sure of the clothes. I know usually you go in a shop to find out what is in them but I decided not to because I didn't really know much. In London I saw a nice top in the window display and with the money shouting at me to be spent I decded to go ahead with what my money was saying and spend.
... ...one thing I love about Jane Norman is the bags, last time I checked they were nice pink bags with rope handles which don't break easily and are not cheap. They were great and I am sure they are still the same but I may be wrong. There were lots of nice clothes and the staff were helpful and the shop was in great condition, changing rooms were nice too.
The shop doesn't do very big sizes but not all tops are small fitting and when they say e.g a ...

...assistant to find out why Jane Norman never goes on sale. She explains it is not necessary to go on sale because all their products are popular and sell out well before sales time. I am a bit disappointed as, although not expensive, it does feel nice to claim you have purchased a bargain. I am very happy with myself for resisting to buy a pair of trousers I did not need. Really and truly though, you can’t have enough white trousers. I decide ... ...top.
The sizes at Jane Norman come up a bit bigger I find that’s why I never have trouble with the bottom part of trousers there. Price wise it is not cheap but much cheaper than Ted Baker, Miss Sixty and Firetrap. The style is urban-sexy and caters for women of ages between, I can only guess from the style, 14-55.

Advantages: Nice clothes, Good quality clothing, Great sales! Disadvantages: Overpriced, Sizes run small, Refund/Exchange policy.
Jane norman targets individuals of ages: 16-30. There sizes range from 6-16. They offer a wide range of quality clothing and accessories- especially in tops, jackets, dresses and bags. They do not have a wide range in footwear, coats and jackets. Their clothing is of good quality so it is worth the price you pay. However, most of their items are overpriced and expensive so you may get a similar product of the same quality cheaper elsewhere. Jane ... ...blouses/shirts and fitted fashionable blazers. Jane norman don't really sell casual clothing such as t-shirts, combats, jogging bottoms, or baggy jeans.
Jane Normans sizing targets slim individuals of average height and is not particularly great for the tall people. As i'm tall most of their tops come up quite short above my jeans which is notable as it looks as if the top has gone small.
Jane norman's sizes run small so your most likely do buy ...

Jane Norman. The name doesn’t sound particularly trendy, or catchy for that matter, so what should you expect to find if you were to find yourself outside this store, looking in?
* The Shop Layout
Plus Side – The two different ones I have visited (West End & Wood Green) have been identical layout, so I would guess they all might have the same style decoration. The walls are quite dark, and the rails are silver giving the shop a ‘modern’ feel. But ... ...went shopping for myself in Jane Norman on Saturday. There was no wait for the changing room, which is a bonus for Saturday shopping!
Down Side – The fact it was a shared room. There were no covered sections for those who prefer to change in private. I really hate using any changing rooms and this put me off even more.
* The Products
Plus Side - The clothes are vibrantly colourful, good quality material and well fitting. They create a smart or ...

...cried as i walked past jane norman. there it was, in the window, a dark blue and silver kilt, absolutely gorgeous and what i had been looking for for ages. So in I trecked excited as ever that i finally would own the perfect skirt. But, alas, the skirt was nowhere to be found. They had all sold out, a disappointment as it was still on display in the window.
So a few weeks later i returned, no blue kilt, but a beige one. so in a ran to the changing ... ...size 8. I did, yay! Jane Norman make their clothes a decent size, so that when you go in and say you are a size 8/10 there 8/10 clothes will fit you (unlike some stores i could mention). However there was one problem. the skirt was very badly made, falling apart at the zip and dodgy on one side. I'm sure this is a one off though, as some of my xmas gifts were from jane norman and they are all fine

These are plentiful, with nice ...

The quality of Jane Norman clothes is average, it isn't brilliant but better than some, however I do think it is a little over priced for the quality that it actually is, but who cares, once a month isn't a lot really.

Jane Norman is probably well known more for it's carrier bags than anything, I always see the school girls put their P.E Kits in them! I think it is mainly a shop aimed at skinny women but I'll push on with my review.
Price: The clothes are not so much pricey, I'm willing to pay the same prices in River Island but that is because the clothes are a better material. A pair of jeans is about 34.99-39.99 in Jane Norman and tops are usually over twenty ... ...jeans I have had from Jane Norman have faded fast while from rvial high street shops like RL and TopShop my jeans have lasted years. I also find most of their clothes are hand wash only which is a pain in the bum if you work a lot like me.

Advantages: Gorgeous clothes, fashionable, unique. Disadvantages: Sometimes overpriced, some of the fabrics tend to go bobbly, bad customer service.
...all of my jumpers are Jane Norman. The reason for this is that they always look better quality than other highstreet brands and their designs are often unique. I love 'off the shoulder' style tops and girly styles, and Jane Norman definately caters for this. I have to say however that some of the fabrics used for their sweaters/jumpers tend to go bobbly.

But they offered no exchange or refund.
Personally I've only had this problem with one of my jumpers and this was minor. Therefore I took the decision to handwash all of my Jane Norman jumpers and I have not had this problem since. This is a bit of a pain, however, I love the design of Jane Norman clothes. I also own a number of skirts from Jane Norman and have never ...
