If you are 45 - 50, where do you buy your clothes?

[TheChocolateTeapot]

I don't want to look like a 16 year old and yet I'm not quite ready for Country Casuals.

Am going to try Uniqlo when next go anywhere where there is a branch.

I'm 53 and default outfit is: skinnies in neutral colours, plain sweatshirts/sweaters/ t shirts/plain fitted shirts, boots, scarf, messy-ish up-do, gel nails and enough make-up to look a)alive and b)smart.

I meant T K Maxx.

I like Jigsaw, Phase 8 and Hobbs for work and M&S for casual.

I think it depends on your size, especially with some of the 'younger' shops that have been mentioned.
I don't tend to shop where my 17yr old does. Skinny jeans and hot pants are not my friend.

Next (their skinny fit jeans approximate to a good straight fit on those of us with no waists and don't bag around the lack of hip too much), Sainsburys (good basic tees), Lands End (good for avoiding basics in unflattering seasonal colours, since they stick to the same palette, constantly). Occasionally M&S and it's almost always regretted because it's all too short and boxy.

Great question!

I hardly ever buy clothes and I love a bargain.

(And although you didn't ask, my mother wears quite a lot of Hemut Lang and Cos.)

TK Maxx for the odd bargain

I'm trying not to buy clothes at the moment as I'm saving up for something but I'd look in Boden, Mint velvet, baukjen, brora, TK mAXX, White company, celtic sheepskin.

I'm struggling to find much that I like at the moment, but have done quite well in Whistles. Their more casual stuff, rather than the dresses, which always look too boxy on me.

Toast, usually in the sale, but it very much depends what they have each season. The summer stuff this year did not work for me at all.

Gap for Ts and merino cardigans.

Bits and pieces from department stores and small independent shops.

Thanks for so many replies - seems I'm in the right kind of place after all, but there are some new names for me to check out!
