Where to shop as 33 year old?!

[Wheretoshop1]

This summer has been a disaster, wardrobe wise.

I literally couldn’t find one nice thing to buy.

I’m a 33 year old married mum of two. Relatively slim and attractive. Very average dress sense.

No matter where I went, I found things were either clearly aimed at size 6 young 20 somethings, or were hideously mumsy and old

Where am I going wrong? I don’t want to dress older than I am not look deluded about my age 😂

Joules, Mint Velvet, Fat Face, New Look, H & M, White Stuff.

I am going to follow your thread closely, I'm a couple of years older than you but totally in the same boat! I've no idea where to shop, I'm stuck in a style rut.

I've been looking around too. Oliver Bonas has some nice things. Quality seems good too, although i haven't washed much of it yet.

Also following with interest. My taste seems to have changed to M&S of late and I don’t know if that says more about me or them

Zara, And Other Stories, Cos

I buy a mix of warehouse, oasis, h&m etc. i.e. I dress like a teenager. If I had more disposable money I would buy from Reiss.

And Other Stories is worth a look. People have some mixed feelings about it on here, but you can get some lovely things at Boden. I find them good for pretty tops and knitwear. Joe Browns have some nice dresses. It really depends on your style though as much as anything.

Other Stories and Warehouse were my go to places this year.

Hush, Whistles, Jigsaw, Oasis (but their jumpers shrink!), Boden, I find Joules hit and miss and have definitely been tempted by fatface recently, although avoid the heavy prints.

H&M, Zara, even Primark are good for basics.

Give up on fashion and go for style and quality. A few good pieces that do you favours are better than a huge wardrobe of cheap tat.

If I had the money I’d be buying MaxMara. As I don’t, I buy things that look like they could be

I rather like frocks from Seasalt and have bought a few in recent years but I’m decades older than you

Reformation, Zara, Reiss, Fat Face is hit and miss for me (their PJs are nice), Other Stories.

Another vote for Joules. I've spent a ridiculous amount in the online store over lockdown think whole new wardrobe some basic bits are from New Look, Next and M&S!

ASOS, H&M, stories, monki, french connection, mango, Zara.

Mango is one of the best places I’ve found for dresses that aren’t made of fucking polyester

I'm going to throw in some alternatives as I buy most of my clothes from Lucy & Yak, Bam clothing and Run & Fly. Ive had some bits recently from Seasalt and also a hoodie from TenTree that is gorgeous and I cant wait for it to cool off so I can wear it.

Oh i am 34

Yep...mango. Good quality, good price, and the right side of fashion.

ASOS was my saviour last year!

I like the 'surfy' type shops- white stuff, fatface, mistral, seasalt etc. Expensive but I tend to wait for sales. I went in new look recently and it was just full of cheap overly frilly tops and jeans so skinny only a gazelle could fit into them

Sainsburys, Joules, White Stuff, Dorothy Perkins

&other stories, Ganni sales, Whistles

I did a similar thread just the other week! I ended up getting some new things from H&M (loads of bargains in store), Oasis (ditto), Topshop (which suprised me), Asda and TU at Sainsbury’s.

I’m 30 and shop mostly in ASOS, topshop, H&M, zara
