If you have a mum in their 70s or 80s....

Where do they buy their clothes?

My mum is approaching 80 but doesn't look or act it! However she really struggles to find clothes she likes, that are comfy but not frumpy etc.
We have finally got through to her that beige/fawn/taupe/cream/pale khaki do nothing for her and she is wearing stronger colours and looks a lot better for it
But she just doesn't get inspired shopping, doesn't have the energy to traipse round all day but isn't into trawling the Internet either,

She asked me to ask you where your older mums get their clothes

M&S - a lot.
Per Una- as above
Likes East.
Edinburgh Wool Mill for cardis etc sometimes.
Would buy in John Lewis and go for CC, Alexon, etc if she could get out more.
She's 86.

Mine is mid 70s and wears M&S basics, jeans, tees, vests, but shops for (sale) cashemere cardis in bright pastels, unusual jewellery and lovely scarves.
Her goto daily outfit (suitable for gardening and impromptu visitors) is M&S bootcut grubby jeans, clogs or sandals, pretty vest or T, Cashmere cardi, funky jewellery, scarf and if it's chilly, down gilet.
Chic and practical.
Mine might be similar.......

DM is 82, is a big fan of Gerry Weber - she likes to collect clothes! Mostly she buys from Department stores and small local boutiques.

DMil is 77 and is fond of George at Asda and has no real interest in clothes.

House of Fraser is a favourite and it must be a label associated with money and well made. She is also very upset if she needs a size 12 not a 10, and won't buy something in a " big" size. She doesn't care that it might be the cut and no one sees the size. She knows..

She likes m&s as well, twin sets mainly, and carvella for shoes, always low courts or sandals.

She stopped wearing trousers years ago. She took against how her bottom looked ( its all old and thin") and that was that!

She has always dressed the same, sensible skirt, twin set, queens leather handbag - like mother of the bride after the wedding:)

M & S not Per Una.
BHS
Bon Marche
Clarks for shoes - always in the sale

She's 80 and dresses OK for her age

My MIL is v well dressed and is a fan of Gery weber for casuals. I think that older ladies struggle with that sometimes, that you would spend money on clothes that are just for dotting around in, rather than going to a wedding. Also Viyella and Betty Berkley.

[BikeRunSki]

Primark, Tesco for ordinary dog walking type days
Local boutique or the concessions to Debenhams for posh.
Or whatever I give her or charity shops.
She is not a particularly good dresser, but never has been. She is 70.

My mum is 75 and is a very slim size 8. She buys jeans from M&S but gets a lot from fat face or white stuff and dresses from phase eight.

Until a couple of years ago my Mum (now 93) was quite fond of Topshop.

My mum's 76 and shops at Jigsaw and occasionally East. She likes to check out john lewis concessions as well.
