If you're in your 40's where do you shop?

[notonmywatchyouwont]

Shamelessly copying another post but for us 40 somethings...

Gap and Uniqlo.

Fat face, Oasis (so sad it's now gone), Next, Ted Baker, Dorothy Perkins are my go to shops.

Boden, Hobbs, Cos, Fat Face, Jigsaw.

I'm not badly turned out, but hardly cutting edge. I look like the archetypal middle-class part-time working mother.

My go to shops (embarrassingly) seem to be supermarkets, next and silk Fred

I’m 43.

Hush for some things, some is poor quality.

Uniqlo for some basics.

Used to love warehouse for dresses!!

A bit of H and M but I am careful as some can look cheap. Have a couple of terrific sweaters from there though.

Monsoon for nice summer frocks sometimes, they have quite a bit of cotton and linen compared to many. Also I like their pretty viscose summer tops.

Occasionally Zara. Some Esprit tops as they aren’t too polyester-ish.

If money was no object (I do try not to spend too much on clothes) I would add some Jigsaw, Whistles for dresses (avoiding all the polyester), Me and Em.

I’m much the same as @BoogleMcGroogle. Sadly realised recently that all my favourite clothes come from Sainsbury’s.

White stuff, fat face, sainsburys, next, joules, and tesco!

I also have quite a bit from sainsbury as they fit well especially their jeans.
Otherwise east for trousers, adini for tunics/dresses. Occasionally per una for long skirts.

I'm almost 45 and like what I like lol

Used to love charity shops and a good rummage too!

I'm so glad you started this thread.. I need inspiration.. Haven't bought anything but jeans and t shirts for probably 3 years because stuff in my wardrobe looks better than anything I try on.... Getting the stage need replacements

Had a personal shopper at John Lewis week before shutdown in hope that would give me options.. Some things better fit but oh my the patterns... Everything looked like I was wearing 70s curtains...

I do quite like some of the stuff in Sainsbury's. I can't afford to spend lots so I go where I can afford. ASDA is ok for basics. I really like Joe Browns but it has to be a rare treat as it's so expensive. The local charity shops have some good finds, especially the one where DS1 helps out.

River island,boohoo,asos

Dorothy perkins primark debenhams for summer stuff and don't laugh but bon marche for their jeans I'm under 5ft and they do leg lengths and are comfy I am all about the comfy.

I like Asda for t shirts and underwear.

Late 40s, formal-wear job.
I shop at Jigsaw, GAP, Uniqlo, Hobbs, H&M, the late lamented Oasis, Reiss, occasional basics from M&S, Massimo Dutti sale, a bit of Ralph Lauren diffusion, dresses from Joy and lots and lots of charity shop stuff (the key is to know your colours, and drop in for a speed browse at promising chazzas whenever you’re passing and have 5 minutes to spare, and be really really picky).

Recent purchases have come from H&M, FatFace, Joules, Dorothy Perkins, Monsoon, TKMaxx and Asda. I also have a lot of Sainsbury's Tu in my wardrobe.

I tend to buy my basic t-shirts and vests from H&M. My jeans on the whole are from River Island (I'm petite but with an athlete's physique so their short length jeans fit). Everything else is what I like. I'm not concerned at the age range the store is targeted at if I like the item.

I'm 45, casual dresser for home and work.

Cos, Top Shop, Zara, jeans I tend to buy in the US (we usually travel there once a year and I stock up - jeans by Paige from designer outlets or Levi's , Ts from J Crew and Abercrombie & Fitch), occasionally Whistles if a good mark down. I browse in And Other Stories but don't buy much. Suspect I'd like Arket but none nearby and I like to get a feel for an outlet's clothes before online shopping. Underwear from Victoria's Secret (usually when in US).

Occasionally I'll see something I love on a blog/ Instagram and go out and buy it.

My friends think I shop loads, but actually I don't - but my style (and size) hasn't changed much over the years, so things last (I'm a bit picky about fabrics).

I suppose the most appropriate shops for you depends partly on how you spend your days and what sort of colour/pattern palette you like. I find lots of shops have a particular style that runs through most of their collections. I like clear, fresh colours and don't shy away from a pattern. I shop mainly at Boden and Hush, with basics from Uniqlo and sometimes M&S. The odd piece from H&m is still age-appropriate I find, and the odd thing from Co's, though I generally find their stuff a bit neutral for my taste.

Ditto Arket, which is a sister brand of Cos

I’m not at all fashion conscious. Have tried to cut down. T-shirt’s supermarket/DPerkins. Trousers/jeans M&S, not stylish just because I’m short and cans can’t sew to take stuff up. Mantaray is good for me but too much the same style.

Boden, John Lewis, Toast, Sugarhill, Seasalt, i think in that order. But my wardrobe isn't very varied, i want about 5 different items so i just check in from time to time if they have new versions of these.

Toast, Anthropologie, H&M, M&S, People Tree

H&M, Hush, Arket, Me & Em, NavyGrey, White Company for jeans as they fit me well, Cos, Boden (but less of this recently), Gap, Uniqlo, & Other Stories.

Mint velvet, Reiss, jigsaw, pure collection, phase eight, some Zara and warehouse tk maxx (got some amazing bargains there).
