Marks Expensive. Now I use John Lewis.

Goawayquickly · 02/11/2019 13:25

Dorothy Perkins, it just doesn’t occur to me.
Marks - I always look but rarely find
Accessorize- used to like it but prefer unusual jewellery from holiday or charity shops

AlwaysOnAbloodyDiet · 02/11/2019 13:29

New Look
Less frequently in River Island

HappyHarlot · 02/11/2019 13:31

Next. Primark quality for Next prices.

FurrySlipperBoots · 02/11/2019 13:32

Tammy girl, because I'm no longer 11, and it's not existed for some time now... I lived there back in the day though!

Next. Not bought anything from there in at least 10 years. The quality isn't what it was, and the styles aren't my cup of tea any more.

White Stuff. Until 2 or 3 years ago I bought half my things there, but I really struggle to find anything that appeals these days.

I buy nearly everything from Mistral now, and a few bits from FatFace (nowhere can beat FatFace on adorable socks!). I'm 30.

jcurve · 02/11/2019 13:38

Hobbs. My entire work wardrobe used to come from there in my early 30s... but they’ve gone proper frumpsville (even more so!) recently.

Volvemos · 02/11/2019 13:38

I no longer shop in Whistles or Cos
I now shop in Monki, the White Company, Asos and Beaumont Organic
I’m 44

PH30B3 · 02/11/2019 13:45

Early 30s I no longer buy from Primark or New Look and have never brought anything from Topshop I was too skint now im too old.

Phoebesgift · 02/11/2019 13:47

No longer shop in New Look or H&M. Quality has gone down the pan.
Go to Fat Face and French Connection.

Lambzig · 02/11/2019 15:56

I no longer shop in White Company, Zara, Toast, Hush.

I now shop in Me&Em, Baukjen, Arket, Joseph.

I am 51.

SunGem · 02/11/2019 16:11

I used to be obsessed with Topshop and half my wardrobe was from there in the 1990s. I haven't bought anything from there in about 10 years.

I now shop in a mixture of places including Uniqlo, H&M, Monki.

CognitiveDissonance · 02/11/2019 16:17

River Island, these days I can usually be found browsing ASOS instead

ReginaGeorgeous · 02/11/2019 16:20

River Island. Its been a long time since I saw anything I like in there.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 02/11/2019 16:21

Anywhere other than charity shops. I won't buy fast, cheap fashion for environmental reasons, but my inner skinflint baulks at "investment pieces."

Fortunately I live in an affluent area so the charity shops are full of lovely bargains. Currently wearing a fab pair of J Brand coated jeans that cost me £12.

I'm 41.

SpangledBoots · 02/11/2019 16:24

I no longer shop in Primark, New Look or Dorothy Perkins.

I shop in Monki, H&M (online only - much better!), Cos, ASOS and M&S.

I'm 30.

blazerbranch · 02/11/2019 16:24

No longer shop in next white stuff, joules or Hobbs al seems a bit dated. Now prefer primark for basics and h and m for other things. still like warehouse and oasis seems a bit better now after a phase of very short floral overload.

bluebell1981 · 02/11/2019 16:26

Primary, new look, Dorothy Perkins....

Pushing 40 and need better quality!

bluebell1981 · 02/11/2019 16:27

Primark even...

Fantababy · 02/11/2019 16:28

Topshop. I'm too old and fat.

New Look. Shit service and crap quality.

TeaAddict235 · 02/11/2019 16:28

I have never bought anything from Topshop as I have never liked Philip Green or his daughter. I have always found them over priced and over rated.

I find new look's clothes cheap. Ditto for H&M

Primary has never been a regular place for me.

I shop at Jaeger, Benetton and charity shops. I get most of my stuff for free from my big sis!

wildhairdontcare · 02/11/2019 16:31

Dorothy Perkins, coast, river island, next (still use for kids), H&M, Hobbs, LK Bennet... Phase eight is going to frimumpsville too!

wildhairdontcare · 02/11/2019 16:31

Oh and Wallis!

Dandelion1993 · 02/11/2019 16:35

New look
River Island.
Topshop

I've had children and their clothes are clearly designed for people with no tits or hips!

Chottie · 02/11/2019 16:35

I refuse on principle to buy anything from any shop that comes under Philip Green's umbrella.

cheesenpickles · 02/11/2019 16:35

I no longer shop in Primark as the quality is crap and I'm veering away from fast fashion. Likewise New Look as the last four things bought from there get trashed as soon as I was them and they argue over returns despite not being fit for purpose. I shop at ASOS and indie places now because I like the Klarna option and individual bits that are helping local firms.
