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?

That should have been 27, not 37!

nicely - asos are true to size I've found.

25, I mostly shop in Zara, Mango, Warehouse and very occasionally Whistles, Cos, FCUK and Hobbs NW3. Sometimes H&M for cheap bits. Lots of things from Asos sale too, but the brands rather than Asos own stuff (variable quality).

Lailoo · 03/05/2015 23:33

Avoca
White Stuff for their pretty vest tops and knitwear
Part Two
In Wear
Sandwich
Boden
Sahara
Jackpot

SpaghettiMeatballs · 04/05/2015 07:06
  1. I like Boden, Fat Face, Gap, Superdry and the odd bargain from TU at Sainsburys.

Hobbs is my favourite for work. I adore their clothes.

Kim82 · 04/05/2015 07:45

I'm 33 and shop in Primark, Matalan, Sainsburys, Next and have recently bought a couple of things from Monsoon (my new favourite shop).

38

Realised recently I'd grown up when looking for a new pair of jeans I decided the styles in Topshop were absurd and ended up finding just what I wanted in M&S. Shock

Cos is a favourite, I could happily shop nowhere else if funds permitted. Whistles in the sale. Occasional bits in Zara. Gap occasionally has good basics (in the sale), likewise h&m. Plus I'm a bit of a sucker for impulse buys on ASOS.

Hoodedmoron · 04/05/2015 08:08

I'm 32 and mostly buy from Oasis, Warehouse, Next, sale stuff from Gap, eBay. Used to be more topshop and miss selfridge but all seems a bit young for me now!

BeginnerSAHM · 04/05/2015 08:40

40 - Gap, Uniqlo, Zara, Cos, Whistles, Pure, TopShop. (On maternity leave at the moment but I get work stuff from Reiss, LK Bennett occasionally, Theory, Massimo Dutti (silk t-shirts) - and am going to check out The Fold when I'm working again if I'm earning enough!)

Saurus72 · 04/05/2015 08:44

41

Jaeger (mainly outlet)
Whistles (usually sale or with a discount code)
Cos
Jigsaw (occasional non-frumpy items, sale only)
& Other Stories (though less so now - tired of all the viscose)
Toast (sale only)
That covers about 90% of what I buy.

daughterofliz · 06/05/2015 17:27

I am 49 with a relatively small clothes budget. I probably buy from New Look, Peacocks and TKMaxx more than anywhere else, or Primark for absolute basics, love charity shops, and occasionally get something from Mantaray and/or Red Herring (both exclusive to Debenhams, I think) or M&S. Other brands I like but can only afford in the sales are Fat Face, Phase 8, Kaliko, Laura Ashley and my dream brand that I really can't afford is Masai.

PetiteBateau · 06/05/2015 17:37

Age 40.

Charity shops
E-bay
Vintage shops ( Mainly dresses)
Mango, h&m. Sometimes Zara. Joy.

PetiteBateau · 06/05/2015 17:37

Oh and tk maxx

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 06/05/2015 18:02

I'm 28, and finding it hard to answer this. I will shop literally anywhere and hunt until I find the perfect version of what I'm looking for. I hardly impulse shop any more.

The shop I buy from the most often is the outnet (SO MUCH Blush). Lately, Uniqlo as well.

The shops I think suit my style the most are Reiss and French Connection, but I think they are overpriced at full price.

nicelyneurotic hard to say, but I think asos own brand is generally true to size. They must have so many different suppliers though.

Bodicea · 06/05/2015 19:45

32- oasis, warehouse, river island, Dorothy Perkins, reiss, boden, joules, French connection and tkmax.

MmeGuillotine · 06/05/2015 20:21

I'm 40 and mostly buy my clothes from Black Milk Clothing, Collectif, Vivien of Holloway, Coco Fennell, All Saints and Topshop. I've also been known to make the occasional forays into Oasis and Warehouse.

stevienickstophat · 06/05/2015 20:25

Gap, Whistles, Zara, Hush is pretty much it these days. French Connection sale is usually good for coats.

I might have the odd mad moment in summer and buy something from Cath Kidston to wear on my holidays.

I can't wear anything too cheap, sadly, as I look like I'm literally coming apart at the seams. I need a good scaffold.

stevienickstophat · 06/05/2015 20:26

Oh yes, Topshop for skinnies and the odd retro t-shirt.

stevienickstophat · 06/05/2015 20:27

Oh yes, Mint Velvet too, but they can be hit and miss.

stevienickstophat · 06/05/2015 20:28

And Marks is having a moment this season. Great flares.

Jesus, I'm a shopaholic Blush

beatofthedrum · 06/05/2015 20:32

I'm 39. I like White Stuff, Fat Face, Seasalt and Joules, plus I use eBay to get Diesel or Replay jeans at a decent price, and same goes for work clothes as I like Whistles, Hobbs and Karen Millen and can't afford them!
