[Starlightstarbright1]

I am wondering best places to shop for age group.

thanks

I am early 50's and I mainly shop in:

Whistles
Jigsaw
Sezane
ME+EM
Wyse London
Sandro - mostly sales
M&S - underwear and plain cashmere
Noa Noa
American Apparel

Shoes:
New Balance
Whistles (ankle boots)
Tracey Neuls (sales!)
Gabor (suede chelsea boots)

I’m 53
Next
Apricot
Occasionally I get lucky in Peacocks and M&S
Hush
Schuh shoe shop
I mainly wear casual clothes and have a few going separates I mix and match.

Very late 40s - Free People, Anthropologie, Asos, & Other Stories, H&M mostly. A bit of Zara if I actually go to the shops but I don't trust their sizing and their website is shite so I don't buy online from them!

Mid 50s still like M and s .and Monsoon is a favourite also .Next also good .Do go on Ebay a lot as well.

Zara, arket, M&S for cashmere and dresses; tk maxx gold label for Marni and Margiela. Charity shops for steals like men’s cashmere jerseys and new plimsolls. ASOS for makeup.

53 and charity shops, Vinted, supermarkets, Next, New look sometimes TK Maxx. I like hippy casual look. Dresses for nights out.
It depends on your shape too. I'm quite curvy size 14 with bum and boobs.

M&S
Tu at Sainsburys
White Stuff
George Asda

Today I am wearing a Uniqlo sweater over an M&S thermal, an M&S mini skirt, M&S thick black tights and Ugg boots (changed these for Clarks boot when I went out).

I have lots of Uniqlo, Next (jeans), Mango (also jeans), Zara (also jeans...I like jeans), Primark, White Stuff (not much), M&S, Sainsbury's.
And I wear a lot of sports clothes because I WFH and do a lot of sport.

I am 51.

Oh yes, I've also just discovered & Other Stories

Age doesn’t define where you shop. Am late 40’s and usually wear skinny jeans, white trainers and a T-shirt. Same as I was wearing in my 20’s. Difference is now I buy better quality brands.

Age might not define where you shop, and of course anyone can wear whatever they like, but I think it's common for people to find that the high-end fashion stores they loved in their teens and 20s don't really meet what they want to wear in their 50s.

Not that many 50-somethings wear cropped, boxy tops for day to day stuff, or go out to night clubs wearing tiny shorts.

I think the OP wants suggestions for good places to shop when you don't want to wear what you did in your 20s.

Fat face
Boden
White stuff
Hobbs
Next
Phase 8
Monsoon

I agree age doesn't define what I wear but I do prefer to get better quality clothes now than when I was younger, so just saying "wear what you want" is unhelpful. I heard on the radio the other day that over 53's shouldn't wear jeans, well that's just plainly ridiculous. I've worn jeans my whole life, I wore them in the 70's when they became the default clothing for nearly the whole western world, I'm not going to stop wearing them now, I do however want better cut than Top Shop would offer me.

Calvin Klein
All saints
Next - t-shirts, leggings, socks, basics etc
Mango
Zara
360 Cashmere
Karen Millen
Levi
Boutiques
Superdry for gym, lounge stuff
Occasionally M&S

Why “over 53s”? That’s very specific! I cleared out my wardrobe and realised I had a lot of clothes which I had been wearing for over 20 years. I’m 49 now so decided on that basis what I’m going to buy now could last me to the grave so I might as well get what I want and the best I can afford.

Forgot to mention I’ve been shopping a bit from Brora of late. The Hush jeans I like are always for sale there and eBay but I find the sizing inconsistent which is annoying.

Hush jeans not for sale from Brora! Weird brain diversion- I meant Vinted.

Basically anywhere, 53, tall and slim, prefer the casual bohemian look.

Cos or Kin (John Lewis Cos lookalike brand) for more work-y stuff , M&S & Fatface for jeans, Uniqlo for t-shirts, jumpers and shirts, Office & TK Maxx for boots & trainers, Toast sale for the occasional treat. Oh, and M&S for underwear. I'm 61, and if anything I've started dressing more casually over the last few years, as I WFH a lot more.

Esprit mostly.

Plus Primark and H&M

54

Seasalt
Fatface
Whitestuff
John Lewis brand
M&S

I used to like Laura Ashley

Depends on your figure. I know a lot of 50 yos who buy high end designer if they can afford it / looks good & they look amazing in it

I heard on the radio the other day that over 53's shouldn't wear jeans,

What the hell station was that? And what happens at 53?

I'll have you know that I look great in my skinny flares. I am tall and slim and if I wear a small heel by legs look 8 foot long. So there.

Does wearing better cut and quality clothing make more of a difference as we get older because skin is less tight, maybe with wrinkles and sun damage?

Asda Sainsbury’s next

Sainsburys, B&Q, Morrisons, Tesco, Asda...

for clothes mainly Sains and Tesco.
