Warehouse
Warehouse seems to have a less defined sense of styling. They are not particularly chic nor are they striving for a vintage, ethnic appeal. Often, they are used for work wear because their styling can be less imaginative. They are good at simple, muted basics and silk printed garments but are less good at flouncy frilly stuff and complicated tailoring. A general rule for shopping at Warehouse is to keep it simple!

Purchase With Care
Watch out for the lack of imagination!
Skirts and tops can lack imagination and are often less good value than their dresses. Tailoring is less imaginative for trouser bottoms.
Bling Alert!
Avoid fussy jean additions like patches, creasing and bleaching. Warehouse tends to do fussy less well!
