TipseyTorvey · 01/06/2019 16:54

I am worried now that ittooshallpass and I have identical wardrobes but yes those plus a bit of lk bennet for work. I lust after Reiss but just can not justify £80 for a t-shirt type prices.

hollieberrie · 01/06/2019 16:55

H&M, Cos, Whistles (although gone off it recently), the odd bit from Hush & Jigsaw. I like plain scandi style clothes. If i had more money I'd shop at Arket and Baukjen also.

MassDebate · 01/06/2019 16:56

About to turn 40 and almost all mine are from Anthropologie, JCrew, Hugo Boss and the Outnet (sometimes Net a Porter, but rarely these days)

Halimeda · 01/06/2019 17:02

Cos, Margaret Howell, Oska — but to be honest, I more or less have a ‘uniform’, and I buy hardly any clothes and keep what I do buy for ages.

Halimeda · 01/06/2019 17:03

I forgot Baukjen. Plus I have a few things from Kin.

LoveTheLakes40 · 01/06/2019 17:05

H&M, Gap, Mango and Office for shoes and trainers.

Rainatnight · 01/06/2019 17:07

WhoKnewBeefStew · 01/06/2019 17:08

Next
Tesco

nelsonmuntzslingshot · 01/06/2019 17:10

I’m 39 but M&S, Next, Tesco, Gap and TU. I’ve recently bought a couple of bits in the clothing section of Morrisons and they are really decent.

Dippypippy1980 · 01/06/2019 17:11

Boden,
banana republic,
Hobbs
oasis
Next

I am short so need shops that have a petite range

Madbengalmum · 01/06/2019 17:16

Matches, 24sevres, outnet.

VenusInfers · 01/06/2019 17:16

Charity shops
John Lewis sales
M & S or did until ours closed down

missyB1 · 01/06/2019 17:20

I’m 51 this year. I’m struggling with where to shop these days. I tend to stick to Joules, Oasis, Crew clothing, the odd thing from GAP (but wary about their quality) and the occasional rare find in M&S. feel like I need to branch out a bit!

hollieberrie · 01/06/2019 17:25

Oh i forgot Mango. There's a nice one just near my workplace. I muuuuuuch prefer it to Zara.

Hammondisback · 01/06/2019 17:25

H&M mainly, Topshop (surprisingly wearable recently), M&S sometimes, Next occasionally, Boden (usually in the sale.) Zara now and again.

DuchessOfBallybrack · 01/06/2019 17:29

Dresses - Phase Eight
Jeans Mint Velvet
Tops - Jigsaw

But that's not carved in stone, just three shops I like most for those items of clothing. I like simple things. If it's JUST PERFECT I will spend a bit more but I think Hush is over rated. You can get the same slouchy clothes anywhere on the high street.

Occasionally I like Hobbs and have bought the odd thing there over the years but although the quality is lovely, the clothes can be a bit formal for MY lifestyle.

I like oasis but I hate that so many of their tops are made of that slimey material.

DuchessOfBallybrack · 01/06/2019 17:29

yes yes to Mango being nicer than zara.

DuchessOfBallybrack · 01/06/2019 17:30

Also, not loyal to any one brand. I often go to the JOhn Lewis site and just search Tops, then filter for 'red' and v-neck or whatever I am looking for. Get inspiration that way.

Pinkarsedfly · 01/06/2019 17:32

Hush
Boden
Next
Marks
Random internet companies like Om and Ah, Lucy and Yak, and N and Willow.

Pinkarsedfly · 01/06/2019 17:33

Oh yes, Zara for coats and jackets.

MarniLou · 01/06/2019 17:33

eBay for bargain 'branded'
Top Shop (jeans & trousers, I'm tiny)
Ted Baker
& Other Stories
Finery

Primark for PJ's!
