Primark
New Look
Joe Browns
Charity shops
Ebay
H&M

Topshop
Asos
Zara
Mango
H and m
Sometimes new look. Oh

It's interesting to see the same stores come up again and again. It seems to show that we don't use a wide range of stores these days though.

Early 40s; I shop at Zara, Uniqlo, Hush and Toast with occasional forays into Topshop (just for jeans) Me & Em and & Other Stories. I get completely baffled by ASOS. 3000 dresses! How the hell am I going to be able to choose from 3000 dresses?!

51

For shoes M&S (I don't wear leather, they do some good non-leather and half sizes. And I like the fact I can pick them off the shelf, try them and buy , not wait for someone to fetch them from the stockroom)

Leggings/jeggings/work trousers - M&S
Jean- Next

Tops- Tu (Sainsburys) , Primark, Matalan (I have long arms and I can't wear anything cropped), Uniqlo
Sometimes H&M but only if the fabric feels nice

Coats- Uniqlo or QVC

Jewellry- QVC

Underwear - Primark bras ( quantity over quality, I have about 12) M&S for pants, socks not fussy, don't wear tights

I have a 15.6yo DD who loves Top Shop and Urban Outfitters......there is nothing at all in either that would suit me .

I'm 30 and shop at Primark, New Look, H and M and Dorothy Perkins. And a few bits from EBay.

I'm 53
Zara
Reiss
Whistles
River Island
Mango
Warehouse

I prefer going to the actual shops than shopping online. Can't be asked with all the faff of sending stuff back.

32

New Look
Topshop
River Island
Asos for their own brands plus pull&bear who do gorgeous clothes
Zara
Miss Selfridge
H&M
eBay (mostly looking for the brands above)
Occasionally boohoo and PLT for basic tops/camis

I am 50. This is where I have to shop as I am tall and also currently poor and fat. Not where I would like to shop.

Next - Jeggings and boots in the sale
Matalan, Tu, Roman Originals - tops
Occasional bargain - Asda and Peacocks
Occasional treat/Birthday present - Fat Face
Underwear - M&S via eBay "ex chainstore" type sellers

I prefer going to the actual shops than shopping online.

Oh me too. A couple of years ago I was buying nearly all my clothes online but I'm so over it now. I'm sick of having to order at least 2 of the same thing cos I can't trust anyone's sizing; sick of trekking to the post office or the Hermes drop off; sick of waiting for refunds. Plus I find the whole online experience totally joyless.

I'm 36.
H&M
Uniqlo
TopShop (jeans)
Hush
FatFace
Saltrock
Lululemon
Ann's Cottage for summer/beachy/surfy brands
Seasalt (Breton tops)
M&S (underwear)

I wear a lot of outdoorsy stuff from Cotswold Outdoor and Snow+Rock, mostly Arc'teryx, Rab, Mountain Equipment, Patagonia and Prana.

Shoes: Salomon, Converse, Adidas, Clarks, FatFace, Sorel, Havaianas, Celtic & Co., Dubarry.

Mid 40s
I am trying not to buy clothes other than socks, underwear and spurts stuff for a year.
Before this- Boden a d white stuff for dessert, Celtic &Co for knitwear, Thought, M&S (jeans), BAM, Charity Shops. I’d just discovered Uniqlo too. I want to like Toast but my waist is too low for them -dresses always sit wrong, tops too shirt, trousers barely cover my bum. One of my favourite garments is a shirt from Plumo.

I'm surprised so many of you say fat face - what do you all buy from there? I've never had any luck there.

I bought 2 Breton tops from Fatface about 2 years ago, and they are excellent quality and fit. I have tried others since svd they have been very poor in comparison.

FF also used to be my “go to” place for jeans, but not any more. Their styles are now generally far to skinny for my muscley calves or low for my long back and middle aged tummy. They used to go lovely mid rise wide leg jeans in a really soft denim. I know fashions have changed, but I really cannot wear skinnies.
