What are your favourite brands and why? I'm trying ....

[btfly2]

to find a style that I feel I have truly lost throughout the years?!

AIBU cos Im in my early forties, look like thirty something and many times feel tired like sixty and don't bother to look the perfect chic fashionista!

I'm a great fan of Joules, sometimes Gap, White Stuff but in the end all these shops look pretty much the same when in your fourties I think....

I like Nomads.

Lovely colours, made properly and it's all fair trade.

H&M is great for over 35s.
also:
vero moda
primark - surprisingly
gap, as you said, is brill during the sales. i always pick up a few bits then.
zara

Nomads...very interesting

I love something properly made and fair trade even more interesting

Any brand please or website or place to get the style? thanx

Have a look at hush.co.uk. Another MNer recommended it to me and I've bought some lovely things from there.

Am 37, use phase eight mainly for non suit work days, fat face and monsoon for casual.

I think you can pretty much shop anywhere no matter you're age as long as you're sensible.

Even the shops such as 'river island' etc that look a bit out there have some lovely staple items once you look past the studs and glitter etc.

Agree that newlook is good, H&M has a lot of stuff although I'm never a great fan of the quality, oasis and warehouse are nice.

If you're talking about trying to regain style - I love Pinterest. It's great for ideas!

I'm currently expecting my 2nd child and it has helped no end with some 'maternity fashion' and I have even been able to be specific by season for the winter.

Hope that helps.

I love white stuff some of my friends like Mantaray in Debenhams. There is a fantastic shop near me that sells a lot of Nomad stuff and a Scottish label that I can remember the name of right now! For boots I absolutely always wear Fly.

M and S jeggings too. They are my find this winter!

Thanks ButtonBoo I'd never seen Hush before and I love it, there's nothing on there that I wouldn't wear - it's going to be an expensive day

Asos! I can't rave about it enough. At least 90% of my wardrobe is Asos. H&m isn't too bad, new look and Zara.

I love Hush - you can get 10% off at the moment with code spring15 FYI. Me And Em also good.

Thanks Strawberry I think I'll need that 10%!

Thanks Strawberry I think I'll need that 10%!

I like this thread, definitely feel it's easy to lose your way a bit. It's hard to know what still looks good. A friend buys a few pieces from Joe Browns and always looks good, though not sure it's for everyone.

Fyi on the voucher code app there is currently 20% off m&s and BHS and 25% off Dorothy Perkins.

I like H&M/New Look/Primarni.

I wear quite a basic "uniform" of black skater dresses and leggings, with plimsolls or boots depending on the weather. Anything too fussy makes me look even shorter and fatter.

It's not chic tho.

I misread as "favourite bands" and was going to come on and say u2 etc and then got really confused as to why everyone was talking about monsoon and gap...

Dear Ladies,

thank you soooo much :) Good info about brands and cannot wait to refresh my wardobre for the springtime with something different at last!

Nomads looks great and I didn't know about Hush...

Cool! xxx
