Just being nosy really! I'll start;

I'm 34 and shop at new look and asos. I've just found 'anthropologie' and would love to shop there but it's too pricy for me.

You?

26, I'm skint and fat so shop at asda, asos, primark, Tesco and any other cheap shops that stock size 20.

If.i save up, I usually buy some nice jeans and a dress from simply be. I love how their stuff fits on me but it can be very expensive.

LikeASoulWithoutAMind · 02/05/2015 11:03

Shop all over the place. Gap Oasis Warehouse M&S John Lewis Mint Velvet Zara Apricot. Very occasionally Hobbs, Jigsaw, Next. Bought a top in White Stuff yesterday but it's not usually my thing.

GlitzAndGigglesx · 02/05/2015 11:05

I'm 22 and shop in primark, h&m and asos. I love Next and River Island clothes but I'm too poor to shop there regularly. For beauty products I shop in Boots

GlitzAndGigglesx · 02/05/2015 11:09

EdSheeran I don't know if you're aware of the shop Taking Shape, but they stock lovely clothes in sizes 14-26. They have some nice clearance bits online atm

MissWimpyDimple · 02/05/2015 11:09

I'm 41 and it's mainly h&m and Zara with occasional basics from Next and Gap.

I'm a bit lost at the moment to be honest. I feel like I'm inbetween styles!

Judydreamsofhorses · 02/05/2015 11:13

42, and have different "key" shops for different things. Topshop for tops/blouses, Warehouse for dresses, Whistles for jeans. Also buy stuff in Zara, ASOS and Oasis, but less often, plus odd bits from Kin at John Lewis, Cos and Jigsaw. Have recently discovered Finery London which I really like and have bought a couple of nice things from too.

AmelieinOz · 02/05/2015 11:16
  1. Anywhere. But usually Uniqlo, Zara, Mango, and H&M. Forever New, Dotti (Australia stores).
PinkTardis · 02/05/2015 11:16

I'm 26 and I shop at mainly river island then a bit of primark, next and little independent stores. I love pink boutique for going out stuff

Orangeanddemons · 02/05/2015 11:18

Well I'm older than you lot....I shop online at Cos and Uniqlo. Bits from Wrap or Poetry or Jigsaw

EuphemiaCoxton · 02/05/2015 11:20
  1. I buy stuff from H&M, Zara and vintage shops. Having a style crisis at the moment. I used to have a grungy relaxed style but now I've hit mid 30s it just makes me look like a tramp! I'm a busty hourglass shape and finding tops to fit is a nightmare
cuntyMcCunterson · 02/05/2015 11:21

32, I live in jeans and jumpers/t-shirts so my regular shops are new look, matalan, Primark and river island.

Floisme · 02/05/2015 11:24
  1. At the moment mostly TK Maxx, supplemented by H&M, Uniqlo, Whistles, Top Shop, Me and Em, Pure Collection, People Tree, Jigsaw, Boden, M&S.

I also use a local dress agency which sells high end stuff at good prices and I haven't given up on charity shops even though most of them are shite where I live.

Basically I don't rule anywhere out.

mrsdavidbowie · 02/05/2015 11:27

Im 55 and six feet tall..hard to find things to fit.
I like Warehouse, Oasis, Esprit, Mint Velvet, odd bits in Next tall ( more out of necessity than choice)

Cranagh · 02/05/2015 11:38
  1. I like Gap, All Saints, Comptoir, Shopbop for brands like Velvet, Equipment, James Perse, Rag and Bone, and American Vintage. Matches in sale time, the Outnet. Occasionally the White Company, Whistles and Me & Em - not as big a fan as I used to be.
OneLittleLady · 02/05/2015 11:40

32 and I shop all over the place. Everywhere from charity shops to vivienne westwood (VW for accessories, cant afford the clothes!). I just buy from where ever something catches my eye so long as I can afford it. Some of the stores both brick shops and online are primark, River Island, Lindy Bop, Ebay, Oxfam, TkMaxx, Uniqlo, Mango, British Heart Foundation, tesco, sainsburys, online music merch shops like 8ball clothing or blue banana, bands official merch shops, age uk, bluebell wood charity shop, cancer research, top shop, debenhams, new look, H&M and House of Fraser outlet. I could be here all day listing shops and online stores as I have such a wide shopping variety!

PeppermintInfusion · 02/05/2015 11:42

Euphemia have you looked at pepperberry? They have lovely fitted clothes to fit different busy sizes.

BleachedBarnet · 02/05/2015 11:45

I'm 27 and shop from independent stores, Cos, Zara and a bit of Asos from time to time. My regular lament is that Madewell isn't available in the UK! For denim I like Edwin or Levis.

stripytees · 02/05/2015 11:46

I'm 32 and mainly shop at White Stuff, Seasalt, H&M, Boden, M&S, and TK Maxx. And eBay.

PandaMummyofOne · 02/05/2015 11:49

I'm 26, and shop wherever I find something I like. My favourites are Jane Norman, primarni, George at asda, sainsburys Tu or river island.

StayGoldPonyBoy · 02/05/2015 11:50

24 and I shop at Zara, H&M, Whistles, All Saints, Topshop for jeans, Mango, ASOS and occasionally Etsy for vintage/handmade stuff.

WomanScorned · 02/05/2015 11:53

46 - eBay, charity shops, tkmaxx, H&M.

Flingmoo · 02/05/2015 11:56

24 - anywhere! Ranging from charity shops, eBay Primark (especially for basics like plain vests and tops) and supermarkets, to New Look, H&M, Debenhams, Hobbes, Boden, Gap... More expensive shops I try to get things in the sale.

Brambles34 · 02/05/2015 12:00

I'm 35, mainly boden, joules, fat face, whitestuff etc

Clueing4looks · 02/05/2015 12:01

I'm 34 and buy mostly from Dorothy Perkins or peacocks (if I can find one).

Although I love their clothes, I feel a bit too old to shop in topshop and forever 21 like I used to.

happybubblebrain · 02/05/2015 12:03

I'm in my forties and I don't shop for clothes much anymore as I have too many already. I don't care much about fashion, I have my own style that suits me.

Sometimes I see really nice things in the charity shops and pick them up. Occasionally I buy myself some smart new trousers in M&S. About once a year I buy some new nightwear, socks and a few basics in Primark.

But I think if I never bought myself any clothes again I would be fine as I have lots and lots of really nice clothes in my wardrobes already - plenty from Monsoon, TK Maxx, John Lewis, H&M.
