Land's End - is it stylish stuff?

[tothemoonandback]

I like their stuff but my husband reckons it's very middle aged...what do you think?

He's right.

It's OK if you are middle aged.

He is totally right. Even my mum (66) thinks a lot of the stuff is too old for her! But she says it IS comfy! Is that what you're looking for?

Ha ha ha ha. Lands end is beige elasticated waists all the way!

I bought a soft,finne micro fleece blazer/cardigan jacket from there.
I like to think it's more 'Good Housekeeping Magazine reader' than coffin-dodger.

And a soft-lined fleece and a skort (shorts& skirt thing) for DD
Fleece slipper-boots for DCs

Sizes are USA sizes so need to convert.

Guess I'm middle-aged

MIL wears it head to toe and buys it for fil too. She looks good but she's in late 50s and lives in the countryside.

Some bits from their Canvas range are ok, esp the current sale stuff - here

Nooooooooooo!

I am mid 50s and would not be seen dead in it. My Mum likes it but she is 84.

Elastic waist brigade generally though winter anoraks etc are possibly just okay.

I get the kids stuff from Lands End in the USA. Usually uniform stuff and they do great kids jackets.

But not especially stylish, no.

OK - I surrender to middle age

Their jeans are good, as is their swimwear. Some T-shirts are fine as unexciting wardrobe basics. Sometimes other stuff is good - fleeces especially - just keep an intelligent eye out.

The new children's range is very good indeed.

no

Their t-shirts are good quality and wash well, but they aren't exactly stylish. Fine for everyday though.

I really like the kids stuff though, especially at sale prices.

Land's End defines frumpy. Good quality, but you should only wear it if you are over 60 and want to look really average. It's the GAP of older adults.

I like the swimwear, which comes in long bodied. That's all (apart from kids stuff).

Noooooooo!
Please don't go there, they will sell you a polo shit (typo), and before you know it, you will be saying 'those slacks look comfy' and drinking Horlicks instead of prosecco.

Wear it with your Cotton Traders polo shirt

I love them purely for selling as crisp white, fitted cotton shirt in tall for my long torso. I occasionally get plain basic Ts for me and OH, unlike Marks they don't shrink.

Their kids stuff is good quality at a reasonable price

Nooooo, even my 60 year old mum wouldn't be seen dead in it!!

Very frumpy, I'm afraid.

Clothes frumpy but they do the best down jackets in winter. And not frumpy. Even my DD says that she would wear the one I got last winter.

I'm 47 so I guess middle aged. Won't even be wearing their stuff when I'm 60 I hope. Just go to normal shops - they do let us lod folk in you know!

Jemima, why would you be happy with a frumpy t shirt for every day? Only wear stuff you love, even if for putting the bins out.

And I'm not even trendy!!

it is middle aged, sorry!. but, they do great coats and the kids stuff is good too. i live near to one of the outlet shops, got an unlined, summer weight waterproof jacket, even has a hood, was £15. actually, the swimwear is good too, really does help suck in the old jelly belly.

Down coats - FAB. Children's snow boots - EXCELLENT. Even basic T shirts - fine.
But let's face it - no man will pursue you breathlessly, BEGGING to tear your clothes off and have you RIGHT THERE in anything from Land's End. Soz.
