Bored of Boden - what else?

[Dancergirl]

I do still like Boden a lot, but their clothes seem to be dominating my wardrobe. I also shop at White Stuff and M&S Per Una quite regularly and occasionally Hobbs.

Where else can I try? I suppose I like the mail order aspect of Boden - I prefer to buy and try on at my leisure at home and send back what I don't need. Traipsing round the shops for hours on end and not finding anything is a right pain.

Joules
Noa Noa
Manta Ray (Debenhams)

Whistles!! they are my favourite. How old are you? If you are more mature, like myself, but love fashion then Whistles are they way to go. Ive got fantastic dresses from there and their leggings are amazing.

I do Boden but am bored of the same old and its not going out dressing is it? I do still love their basics but, for me , Whistles are the way to go!!

IKKS

I have this Superdry shirt and the cut is fab - very sexy!

Love this waistcoat

Why do almost all of these clothes shops specialise in grey? Do they think women over 20 don't wear any colour?

It's my main bugbear with Isabella Oliver.

Agree with the grey/black/neutrals thing. You have to spend a lot of money in Marni to get a really great colour palate, IME

Yes I agree

I don't like buying cheap clothes, just because I can't find any bright colours elsewhere.

Have descovered hollister after searching for weeks for a colourful good quality gilet that didn't make me look like a rambler.

BikeRunScream I love Ness!! Thank you for posting that.

The red check Superdry shirt is really great and mixes and matches well with more expensive clothes.

I'm always on the look out for relatively inexpensive tops that are colourful as they seem to update a look more quickly than trousers/skirts.

Whitles leggings are £55!!

Sorry. Whistles. The shock sent my spelling to pot.

all online or concessions in JL or H of F

plus perhaps Debenhams designers Jasper Conran, Oasis & Warehouse

The said leggings are more like jodphurs. Their dresses are really flattering so you do get your wear out of them. I wouldnt bother with the tshirts.

I got a silky skirt from an Animal outlet for £5 - and then hoody x 2, hoody for DS & hoody for DD oops - they are really thick and snug....

what a grunmpy looking model in your waistcoat Bonsoir

*grumpy even

I think different shops suit different body shapes. I am short - 5ft and fairly petite.

Warehouse works well for me for knitwear, tops and dresses
Monsoon works well for knitwear
M&S Autograph / Limited collections are good for short length trousers
Next petite is good for jeans and coats
Joules is good for tops and tunics

Unfortunately I love Ness too.

They have got me wearing skirts again.
