Which shops cater to 'invisible women'?

[LanaorAna1]

I rather like White Stuff, but it has been royally slated here as an Invisible Mum Army styleless supplier of shapeless greige.

Are there any others? Which makes get your goat?

I'm horrified to find I can't condemn anything, except M&S, and then only some of it, so my fear is that I'm not fussy enough. Put me right, ladies, please do.

Zans (great username), I love your points about the negative perceptions of a woman caring about clothes etc. I like choosing and wearing nice clothes, and I sometimes feel bad about it.

Thanks space (love your name too!).

I think it's really important. I too got sick of feeling bad because I like nice nail polish or will splash out on a fab print dress. I really love design, I love colour and I love expressing that in what I wear. Then I realised that it's really hypocritical, this sense that women who like clothes and make-up are fluffy-headed and trivial or betraying feminism. The reality is everyone cares about their appearance to a greater or lesser degree and design and appearance in all kinds of other fields are celebrated - art, architecture, fonts, posters, interiors, logos whatever.

If a man is allowed to do things to his body hair, choose a nice shirt or suit, wear shoes he likes, etc etc without being seen as an airhead, then so can I.
