If you're a woman in your 30s...

[goingtobedalone]

.. where do you buy your clothes? What brands?

I often end up feeling like maybe I'm looking too old for my age , then go the opposite and feel like I'm trying too hard to look young

In the last year the clothes I got were from topshop, asos, nasty gal (ignore the awful name it's great prefer it to asos as I think that gone down hill recently) dancing leopard, primark. If had some more money atm I'd do some online shops at hennes, zara, silk fred, Lucy and yak, never fully dressed and olive. Have never bought from the last three mind but their stuff looks lovely.

I’m 32 and post two DC I find the more ‘mature’ brands suit my shape better. Like Marks and Spencer (they do great jeggings which come right up over my ‘mum tum’ and tops that aren’t too tight in that area). I never would have thought to buy from them pre-DC though, regardless of age. I still get the odd thing from New Look though and I like Sainsbury’s or sometimes Asda stuff too. Karen Millen / Coast / Oasis / Warehouse for nice dresses.

Next, Joules and Very. Used to go to Oasis and Debenhams a lot but find debenhams doesn’t have a lot now (still have a look though) and Oasis significantly reduced choice since it went in to administration. Love the cardigans from GAP too for work, so simple but wash well. Have recently bought a few bits from Monsoon but I’m still not sure about Monsoon on the whole.

Topshop, Hush, John Lewis, Marks and Spencers, New Look, Oliver Bonas, Warehouse, Fatface, Uniqlo

Depends what I need!

36. I shop at ASOS, Zara, H&M, PLT and Misguided mainly.

Work, also the Fold (preferably in the sale). Otherwise, Reiss, Comptoir des Cotonniers, Whistles, Maje, Uniqlo for knitwear, and Gap for jeans. I bought some dresses in Whistles a several years ago that I still live in in the summer.

Next

Hush, Boden, Mint Velvet, John Lewis (I love the Somerset by Alice Temperley line).

Charity shops, depop, vinted, eBay and carboots. I care about sustainability and try to avoid fast fashion as much as possible

I often pick up new or barely-worn things from brands I like on Ebay. Oasis and Warehouse were the best for this before they went into administraton. Oasis is my go-to for T shirts and dresses on Ebay because the sizing is consistent. Not sure how long the brand will last now, the new website looks very tired and sad.

H&M, Gap, Joules, Next, Uniqlo... I've had some nice knitwear from Fat Face and White Stuff (another one that's good for Ebay). I like browsing in Oliver Bonas and Mint Velvet but haven't bought anything from there for years!

I'm 32 and most of my clothes are from Next, Hush, H&M and Lucy and Yak for dungarees.

Mostly from Next, a few bits from Joules and Principles too, I’m a SAHM so just need ordinary clothes nothing fancy or named or very expensive that would be wasted on me.

Lots of Hobbs, Jigsaw, Reiss, Vince, Equipment, vintage items found online (eBay usually) and both TKMaxx and The OUTNET are pretty good for designer bargains.

Asos, new look, next mainly.

Oasis, Hobbs, jigsaw (occasionally), phase 8, Sainsbury's, Boden, joules, H&M. But I'm 37 and think I dress in quite a mumsy way for my age!!

Thanks for all the posts, I've looked up some of these.
Uniqlo was mentioned a few times and looks good and not too expensive, Oliver bonas also nice , I actually just recently discovered it and have bought couple of things.
Lots of good ideas💡

I've just rediscovered Warehouse and really like most of their stuff. Also ASOS, Mango and Topshop for jeans.
