Adult Clothes are so BORING! Where is the fun stuff?

[ShinyMe]

AIBU for wanting non boring clothes? Mumsnet is insisting on advertising loads of wonderful Boden kids outfits at me, including a pink stripy cardigan with applique hamsters wearing flower hats! I want to wear things like this! It's the same everywhere, fabulous colourful kids outfits, nothing for middle aged women. Someone please start making adult clothes that are fun!

YABU - adult clothes should be sensible, navy blue or black, or perhaps a nice floral
YANBU - yep, I too would wear a reversible sequin dinosaur t shirt

Just ordered a couple of cute tops from Sugarhill (plus one for a gift)

Bumping to see if anyone else has some suggestions.

I bought a couple of nice dresses from Kath Kidson last year. Definitely fun and not just 'not grown up' though.

Scandinavian brands have some great patterns for adults (and kids) - funkylittlepeople.co.uk/collections/adults-1 . I'm also hoping to get a set of PJs from Hanna Anndersson for Christmas - www.hannaandersson.com/pajamas-adult-women/ - colourful and fun.

I have some lovely Lucy & Yak clothes, they always make me feel happy when I wear them! Fun clothes do exist, just sadly not on the high street.

Isn't it strange? Everywhere I go, I see colourful, frilly, sparkly, star-emblazoned, puff-sleeved, over-sized, flared stuff, when I like staid neutrals in normal cuts. I'd kill for some 'boring' shops where I live. Instead, it's all hoodies with ears and rainbow-emblazoned coats.

I really like a lot of the Duns Sweden stuff (not the ridiculous puffed trousers though, wtf is that about?) but omg their sizing is hard to work out! I've ordered a dress, no idea at all if it'll fit, but we'll see!

There’s a millions of colours in the world, why are black and grey clothes so popular?

I have some Hannah Andersson pyjamas on order (baby Yoda!). My DSis in the US used to send DD pyjamas from there most years for Christmas.

Another one for Sugarhill Brighton. I love a good dinosaur jumper!

Lucy Locket loves for leggings.
Snag for lovely colourful tights.

I'm going to have a look at some of the other websites now.

Baggies are comfy as hell. Certain prints become like gold dust in the biggest kids sizes as a small slim adult can fit into them for half the price of the adult ones

Carolina Dress Room - fabulous!

Has no one mentioned truffleshuffle yet? They have lots of retro tops/T-shirts

I miss babycham shoes and my vans 😁

Hiccups and Juice
Lucy and Yak
I always wear bright clothes, you just have to shop about.

I'm often complimented for my Frugi leggings with rainbows on them :)

I sew occasionally and made my own blouse with funky, colourful fabric. Quite a few people said they liked it.

Beyond Retro (all branches) are worth a root through.

I am a full on Popsy convert. I love their stuff.

Look at Popsy

Their dresses have multicoloured elephants on, or Russian dolls or puppies. Cardigan of foxes. Lots of bright colours and they look like stretchy flattering designs.

Love this thread! Always on the lookout for bright and colourful things, I agree OP most adult stuff is so so dull.

I buy lots from Lady V, mostly prints yes cats...I'll go and take a few photos

Cats, Alpacas, flowers and more cats, just a selection of my prints

They've already been mentioned, but I've also recently started buying Joe Browns and Frugi. Frugi do some lovely children's clothes too.
