To ask where you buy clothes from?

[Sillysausage65]

Hiya,
I am in my late 40s. not that this matters, but these days I do not know where good clothes shops are?
I understand it depends on what I like, but i mean good quality, but not hugely expensive.e

I'm 59...but agree age is irrelevant.
I shop in COS, All Saints, Zara, H&M, other stories and a bit in M&S for basic pieces and then Sezanne, Marrant, Z&V and independent labels for more special bits with a few pairs of designer shoes and bags. Also love a bit of Vinted and Vestiaire Collective, especially for jewellery, jackets and coats.

Zara, Sezanne, M&S, Reiss and John Lewis.

Vinted mostly

Uniqlo
M&S
Vintes
and a bit from Mango

Uniqlo
Hush
mint velvet
cos
M&S for underwear mainly but they do also have good jeans

And I forgot to put Sézane! Which I love

Vinted. Rarely buy new. Just no need. Saves money and the environment.

I've recently bought 2 items from Unfolded, an Indian cooperative. Its the furthest from fast fashion you can get I should think. So if you're looking for ethically produced stuff then they're worth looking at.

Uniqlo.
Collectif- timeless!
Zara.

Charity shops
Marks and Spencer
Uniqlo
Vinted

Can I hijack your thread please? And ask if anyone can suggest where I can get good quality, thick, long jumpers?

Primark, H&M, Zara and Tesco F&F currently.

Killstar, Kate’s Clothing, Blue Banana, lots of Primark and TK Maxx. Always Levi’s for jeans, but only ever from the outlet shop!

@EatCrow Celtic & Co sweaters that are long enough for me - I'm 5'8".

They aren't cheap but if you hand wash them, they do last. Today's sweater is 4 years I think.

Guernsey Woollens do really thick sweaters. Less expensive but not as long.

Thank you Meadowfinch, I’ll have a look.

Vinted for literally everything other than underwear, I buy that at M&S.

There are no good shops nowadays, and in the physical shops they just NEVER have your size (especially you, M&S). I tend to trawl the charity shops...

M&S and Poetry

Vinted, charity shops and I sew. I haven't bought anything new apart from underwear in 4 years. I made a conscious decision to only buy pre used items as the world is overflowing with stuff and the real price of clothing production is killing our planet. This is not a humble brag. I dress really nicely and often get compliments on my clothes.

Mostly next and m&S however found some gorgeous clothes from Tesco for my holidays eg dresses, bikinis and shorts which I’m really impressed with.

I know a lot of people are saying Vinted but what are you searching for when you're on there? Which stores? Do you just look randomly at dresses or tops?

You can use the filters so if I wanted a dress, I might put 'dress' or 'long sleeved dress' into the search bar and then filter by size, colour and brands. You can pick more than one option so you might put 'jumper' and then select some of the brands recommended above.

Tu Sainsbury's
George Asda
Matalan
Primark
Bonprix
Boohoo
Ebay
New Look
TK Maxx

I hate clothes shopping and am losing weight so I'm picking up some cheap bits to tide me over. I think Matalan is my favourite at the moment. Clothes are clothes to me tbh, I suspect that expensive and cheap labels were made in the same factories. I've never had an issue with quality when buying cheap. I have some leather Chelsea boots that were £40 from Asda 7yrs ago that still look as good as new.

H&M, Mango, Zara, River Island, Zalando, Vero Moda & occasionally Asos & Next.

I’m always genuinely astonished that people can find anything to fit in Zara. In all the years since it opened in the UK I have never found a single item I can wear. I am clearly not their shape. The only Zara I own is homeware! Similarly H&M, doesn’t fit.

I buy a lot from Next online but not Next brand IYSWIM. Roman fits me well, Threadbare, Fat Face, Friends like these, Love & Roses etc
