in 50's where do you shop?

[Starlightstarbright1]

I am wondering best places to shop for age group.

thanks

Aldi for main shop and Tesco or Asda for the branded stuff.

I am mid sixties and I actually don’t think about age groups as long as things look nice and classy if I’m going out and not ott, I dress for my personality more than what’s age appropriate so mines Next, River Island, H&M New look, in fact what ever takes my fancy, I’m quite a confident person though!

I meant clothes .. sorry wasn't clear

I'm into retro 40s/50s stuff so Collectif, Freddies of Pinewood(amazing jeans) , Vivien of Holloway .

Ps I'm 51

Fat Face, White Stuff, Next, John Lewis (58)

Next, Hobbs, Whistles, Jigsaw, M&S. Pretty much the same as my twenties, just slightly different styles - I still wear stuff from Top Shop too.

54 and I shop for clothes in the supermarkets, I get some really nice every day items. You have to look hard for a lot of it though and by pass the more boring stuff. The same with chain stores such as Next, RI, H&M, Zara and M&S. I then have some classic pieces from Hush, Em & Me, Saint + Sofia, Forgotten Tribes, etc.
I spend a lot on good quality shoes, I think at my age I need a good shoe, lol, and they set an outfit of perfectly. I have DM's, Veja, Gabor, Steve Madden.

Late 50's, French Connection, All Saints, Free People etc I like a rustic look certainly not classic

If you google styles for over 40's, rather than over 50's and you'll find some styles you'll like. I find if you look at over 50's stuff it is more like over 70.

I'm 57 Current favourites are brakeburn and Fat face, mostly bought via eBay, for budgetary and environmental reasons, but find older clothes are better fabrics

TK Maxx, Primark.

I used to spend more (John Lewis, selfridges etc) but got over my clothes snobbery and also got fitter so now I wear clothes that are less dowdy than those I wore in my 20s and 30s.

Are we really ‘not allowed’ to wear what makes us look and feel good because we happen to be a certain age?

Please don’t tell me I need to buy one of those shapeless cheesecloth sacks that seem to be targeted at women of a certain age.

I don’t shop for an ‘age group’ - because I’m not 5 years old.

I look for clothes I like, that I think will suit me in terms of fit, aesthetic appeal, quality, appropriateness for weather and occasion, enjoyment in wearing …

I don’t like throwaway items, but I do want to look fairly ‘fashion forward’ - even avant-garde once in a while. Happy to shop in any price bracket, but not keen on High St shops that had their peak in a previous century.

Early 50s.

Mostly Boden, Jigsaw, M&S (underwear and cashmere), Hobbs, Ralph Lauren, TK Maxx, local independents with things made in the UK, Ebay. It's generally 'classic' bits which I won't get sick of and which are neither fashionable nor unfashionable - pencil skirts, dresses, jumpers, blouses. I am petite so the 'neat' look suits me - I look like a bag lady in things from White Stuff/Hush etc. No jeans or trousers as I hate them.

I tend to go less for particular shops/labels, though, and more for natural fibres (wool, cotton, cashmere, linen). I won't wear anything made of artificial fibre (God knows who M&S think they're appealing to with 'recycled polyester' knitwear), and try to avoid anything made in China, both of which rule out most supermarket stuff.

Asos
H&M
Next
Zara
New Look
M&S
Reiss, but only in the sales!

Seasalt, Monsoon, The White Company. I’m pear-shaped so Boden/Hobbs etc are no good to me. Monsoon and Seasalt are very good at doing cuts that hide the bulge!

Most of the places already listed - but I’m finding it harder to find stuff I like or that fits me (5’ 1”, pear shaped, size 10-12, need smart-casual stuff - it’s like finding a needle in a haystack)

Jigsaw, Massimo Dutti, Toast selectively (love some of it but quite a lot is hideous), Ghost, Me & Em, John Lewis.

What kind of clothes do you like? I'm 50, and mainly shop as suggested above. I don't shop anywhere like Top Shop anymore... did that close down?
I look for things that aren't too clingy but that are also fairly fashionable without going overboard. There are lots of over 40's and 50's bloggers for inspiration.

Anywhere I see stuff I like which to be fair doesn’t happen very often as I favour the teenage grunge look! Currently wearing ancient jeans, a Stiff Little Fingers band t-shirt from a recent gig and dinosaur socks. I’m 54 and should be more ladylike according to my mum.

Increasingly make my own clothes (vintage textiles) and someone always asks ‘did you get that from Free People’ so maybe try there? I’m 51.

Ebay for pretty much everything these days except underwear and shoes. I like Phase Eight, Monsoon, Hobbs, Jigsaw, Boden. Increasingly M&S for jeans.

Next or tescos

White stuff, fat face, Next (M&S for sports wear, and underwear)

Finisterre, Hush, Jigsaw
