I have been buying bits from Uniqlo maybe H&M.
I need a couple of nice new bits such as cigar trousers /pencil skirts/ dresses blouses and shirts. I don't mind spending a bit more on nicer things.

I've managed to get a few nice bits out of Primark over the years, and Next but honestly I'm stuck on this too!

Dorothy Perkins have some lovely stuff in!

Justanothernameonthepage · 18/10/2018 13:17

Silk Fred, winser, Jaeger and baukjen

POPholditdown · 18/10/2018 13:18

I second Dorothy Perkins. I can only find trousers there, and Wallis occasionally, that fit my stubby legs.

katmarie · 18/10/2018 13:19

I get a lot from Dorothy Perkins, I love their ankle grazer trousers, lots of choices for colour. I've found the odd nice top in Matalan or primark, but a lot of my better tops come from either next, oasis, warehouse or Debenhams.

The Gap bi-stretch trousers are the best ever. Only trousers I think have actually fit in my adult life.
My dresses are mostly Boden and Whistles. I’m 30 and a size 12 sometimes 14, 5”2.

LadyLance · 18/10/2018 13:19

I've got some great pieces (blazer and some trousers) from mango recently. I usually get blouses from h&m. Next can be good but the sizing is very variable!

MrsZippyLake · 18/10/2018 13:19

If you can afford to spend more, I would recommend TM Lewin, Phase Eight, Hobbs, Jigsaw or Whistles.

NonaGrey · 18/10/2018 13:20

Hobbs. It is expensive but the quality is excellent.

bakingdemon · 18/10/2018 13:20

Hobbs - they have a sale on at the moment.

Jezebelz · 18/10/2018 13:22

Zara for most things and Whistles when I'm feeling flush.

LivingDeadGirlUK · 18/10/2018 13:26

I really like Hobbs but I can't afford it so buy second hand from Ebay. I'm quite curvy so find the cut so much better than H&M or NEXT.

ambereeree · 18/10/2018 13:33

Warehouse, oasis and phase eight. Zara have gone downhill in my opinion. Phase eight are good. Cakvin klein for straight trousers.

JaceLancs · 18/10/2018 13:38

Jaeger Hobbs and whistles
Sometimes via outlet stores eBay or charity shops
I also shop at tkmaxx far too much!

36degrees · 18/10/2018 13:41

Boden, Oliver Bonas, Toast, Seasalt, Fat Face, White Stuff - only in the sales.

hellsbellsmelons · 18/10/2018 13:51

I would say 60% of my wardrobe comes from ROMAN
Something for everyone.
Decent quality but not overpriced.
Sizing is good and clothes are very flattering.

HairsprayBabe · 18/10/2018 14:05

matalan

HairsprayBabe · 18/10/2018 14:05

and Sainsbury's

MaMaMaMySharona · 18/10/2018 14:07

ASOS - they have a huge selection of trousers!!

CaseStudyResearch · 18/10/2018 14:08

Asos, Warehouse, Next form the bulk of my work wardrobe, with top ups from Mango, New Look and Hobbs.

SadieContrary · 18/10/2018 14:12

Mango, Next and M&S

Laureline · 18/10/2018 14:57

Jaeger, Cos, Gerard Darel and Caroll.

Toptheginup · 18/10/2018 15:01

Bought some lovely pieces from ebay over the years, that includes lots of second hand branded items which are in good condition

POPholditdown · 19/10/2018 01:34

@hellsbellsmelons are they reliable for deliveries? I’m not sure if it’s them or SHEIN I read about having a really poor service.

I like the look of them though

JosellaPlayton · 19/10/2018 01:53

Mostly:
Uniqlo
Zara
Reiss
Whistles
J Crew
