What high street clothing shop have you never bought from

It occurred to me today that I have been in to Zara so many times but never bought anything for myself there! Previously I don’t think I would have fitted but but now It would I can still never find anything in there? Are there any high street shops that you find the same?

I also don’t think I have shopped in H and M for 20 years due to their horrible fit!

Seasalt, Joules, Fat Face, White Stuff, a lot isn’t me and the bits I do like my Mum seems to like too and I don’t want to twin with her.

I haven’t bought anything from Primark, New Look or H&M for years.
Until recently I’d have said River Island and Zara but have bought quite a bit from RI this year and a couple of tops and a jacket from Zara.

Mango, French Connection, never fit my body shape, no problem in other shops just those two always

Most of them. I've never even been inside most of them.

If you're not counting buying clothes indirectly (say from Vinted) then it'd be quicker to list shops I HAVE bought from!

In my life, I HAVE bought clothes from:
Next
FatFace
Mountain Warehouse
C&A
Tammy Girl
Debenhams
John Lewis
TK Maxx
Primark
M&S
H&M
Polarn o pyret
River Island
Bay Trading
Top Shop

I can't think of any others but there are probably a few.

If counting indirect/secondhand then also Hobbs, Laura Ashley, Cath Kidston and All Saints.

Interested in this thread?

PS I got gifted a Zara silk blouse and it fell apart at the seams after one wear, and a button broke in half. I was shocked by the appalling quality and would never buy from there as a result.

Mango
Reiss - think for tall people
