I properly love the patchwork jeans. But as a non fashion conscious 50 year old, I'm probably not their hoped for target marketSmile
I'm still getting some thoughGrin

TheSpottedZebra · 18/05/2015 20:22

And they let the Per Una designers loose on those patchwork jeans!

TheSpottedZebra · 18/05/2015 20:22

Unfortunate cross post Blush

QueenBean · 18/05/2015 20:24

It's pretty much all horrendous. Especially those rank patchwork jeans. Yeuch.

Still to the work classics and decent quality basics. No "hipsters" will go and shop here.

Tweezertastic · 18/05/2015 20:24

Director I see more people looking at the limited range who are 50 plus than their target market when I am in store .

An another unfortunate cross post... Blush

Tweezertastic · 18/05/2015 20:26

Maybe the hispsters will head to the classics department and bedeck themselves in camel slacks and faux pearls

I like the dress.

RuddyHellItsSoftCell · 18/05/2015 20:27

Don't we all just want great basics? If I want an 'edgy', 'quirky' item of clothing, I'm not looking for it in m and s.

DirectorOfBetter · 18/05/2015 20:28

Lol!
I haven't bought Per Una for years and years but yes they do remind me of the most gorgeous pair of devore jeans that Per Una did in their first year or so. But that was also the time when my then 30 - something friend was sneered at by the sales assistant and told Per Una was a young woman's rangeShockGrin
Happy days...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/05/2015 20:36

It annoys me so much that they continue to get it so horribly wrong. I LIKE M&S. I want to shop there. But that stuff is ridiculous.

M&S - what we want from you is good quality basics, in sensible colours and natural fabrics. That Is All...

It really shouldn't be so difficult to understand.

Momagain1 · 18/05/2015 20:36

Patchwork jeans are edgy, again?

Seriously, nothing about jeans has been edgy since about 1972, at the latest.

Tweezertastic · 18/05/2015 20:38

I remember watching the per una programme on TV and being dissaponted that a skirt I tried on didn't fit. The per una part of m and s was a hive of excitement for per una!

liked skirt but those skinny dungarees wouldn't flatter anyone

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 18/05/2015 20:54

Gawd that pattern looks like a picture of Thelma from Scooby Doo Shock

M&S do some nice things (I'm 49 next month, I can say this ).
These don't come into that catergory.

ClaudetteWyms · 18/05/2015 21:00

Oh my eyes, this is so so bad.

Judydreamsofhorses · 18/05/2015 21:47

I really like the printed blouse. The rest of it isn't for me. There was a piece in the Guardian today about that suede skirt and M&S's strategy of designing "hero" items which create media hype which was interesting.

Oly4 · 19/05/2015 10:33

I love some of the dresses and actually the patchwork jeans!
But those dungaree things are revolting

jingscrivvens · 19/05/2015 10:53

LOVE that red voluminous skirt, but I reckon I'm a lot too fat for that. The rest I can take or leave

domesticslattern · 19/05/2015 11:18

Are their designers on drugs? We want good quality basics, not embellished out-there shite. We tell you again and again and YOU NEVER LISTEN.

woodhill · 19/05/2015 14:29

anyone wearing those dungarees would look like Spud from Bob the builder

OnIlkleyMoorBahTwat · 19/05/2015 16:24

I like the green dress but I can't wear M&S dresses because in their world I need a size 8 shoulders, size 12 norks, size 10 waist and size 14 hips.

Everything else is hideous.

enjoyingscience · 19/05/2015 17:04

The skirts are fab, but the hipster girl print is gopping. Why would an adult wear that?

I like the green dress loads too.
