Where do over 55's buy their clothes?

Im a bit baffled by your post. Do you think that past a certain age everyone suddenly changes where they shop? I shop in any shop I feel like where they are clothes that I want to buy. The security shutter doesn’t suddenly metaphorically descend in front of me because of how old I am 😂

WRT Next, I agree that their stores are not always filled with the best stuff, but their online offering is very varied and they have certainly nailed the online shopping experience. I don’t think physical stores are as good any more. If you work for M&S, don’t you get a discount? There is loads of choice there too and again online is best

Yep, all of these for me too (esp Reiss) . Plus Mint Velvet, Hobbs, Phase Eight, Karen Millen, even Oasis in the sales recently. Next (on line) has a huge range of brands these days, though I never shop in store.

I don’t think age matters - I just buy what appeals to me and suits me.

More expensive stuff is always in a sale/Vinted/Ebay

Someone I know was rating Sahara.

I love The White Company, and Poetry online. I do have a very good independent shop nearby which has a variety of well known and not so well known names.

Better makes for occasions.

My local charity shops - I live in a v fancy area and these are packed to the gills with high quality designer brands. I have Agnes B, Joseph, Armani etc lots of occasion wear so try hard not to get too distracted with that. Shoes, boots, trainers, underwear and sportswear are the only things I buy new. I haven’t tried online / Vinted - I enjoy the instant gratification. Also some of the best buys are scarves, belts, bags, jewellery - it’s nice to have a collection of nice accessories to pull an oufit together.

I'd love to buy a few new things but can't seem to find anything in the shops as the colours are all horrible and tops are all short in the body.

I hate Internet shopping as you can't feel the quality and I hate the palaver of returning stuff.

Can't see me buying anything new this year.

It doesn’t matter what age you are. It’s about your size and shape. I’m almost 60 and buy from all sorts including:
M&S
Mint Velvet
Roman
Tu
Phase eight
Jaegar
Lands End
Uniqlo
Jigsaw
Sosander

I have always shopped in these types of shops. I didn't start looking in new shops once i turned 50!

I love french / scandinavian style!

I'm well over 55. In the last 3 years or so purchases have been a mixture of in shop and online from these shops.
