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

[notonmywatchyouwont]

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

MeandEm; Whistles; Wyse London; Winser London; Hush; Gap; Pure Collection; Boden; jBrand for jeans; the White Company.

Cos, Arket, Toast, Sunspel mainly for everyday tops, trousers, knitwear
Gap for plain t shirts. I like some All Saints coats and jackets.
Sweaty Betty, Fashercise, LNDR, Sports Edit, Varley, Adidas and Nike, all online for gym and leisure wear
Cos, MiH, JBrand, Re/Done, Toast for jeans
Matches and NAP, plus I have a load of independent boutiques with an online presence bookmarked where I buy the following:
YMC, APC, Isabel Marant Etoile, Common Projects, Joseph, Soeur, Grenson, Birkenstock, K Jacques St Tropez, Ancient Green Sandals

I also mainly buy in sales and am really good at Quidco, signing up for newsletters and googling discount codes!

I have a lower budget so I tend to shop in:

F&F at Tesco
Dorothy Perkins
New Look
River Island
Accessorize Beach
Primark
Zara
Next
Topshop
Schuh
Office
I did like Oasis

The thing is I wear a uniform to work so I can dress how I like out of work.
Basically for I dress for home, going out during the day, going out at night & the gym.

I avoid some of the styles that are too young or cheap looking & go for basics & stuff that looks nice quality if possible which you can get from these stores cheaply if you look carefully.
I have lots of items I've worn for several years so the clothes do last! But I tend to change things like jeans regularly as styles change.
For example I've got a white cot

Sorry. I've got a white cotton embroidered dress from New Look that I've worn for 4 years, it's really pretty!

Aldi or Lidl. Sainsbury's if I want mcvities digestive biscuits.

Ohh, you mean clothes?! 😂
Sainsbury's TU, eBay, Joules

Zara, Reiss, Massimo Dutti, H and M, Ghost etc... same as always! 49.

Asda, New Look, are my go to, occasionally Sainsbury’s & Dorothy Perkins. I’m late 40’s. Recently purchased a couple of casual tops from Look Again online.

I still get a lot of my clothes from charity shops, but I'm also a fan of M&S, H&M, Dorothy Perkins, Monsoon, LK Bennet, Zara...

Toast, Cos, Arket, Otherstories, Uniqlo, H&M, Olive & Meadows. Oh and Ebay because I love a bargain.

Monki, Beaumont Organic, Aspiga, Patagonia, Cos, White Company

Mainly Oasis, Warehouse and Zara.

Will also visit any shop not extremely expensive available where I live, but don't buy from them so often: H&M, New Look, Top Shop (the odd jacket that's for all ages), M&S, Hobbs in sales, Primark, Matalan, Fat Face, TK-Max, Gap.

Terralee - I always go in to River Island just in case, but can never find anything for my age group.

White Company, Boden, Tommy Hilfiger (plain stuff), Hobbs, Gap (amazing long lasting cotton), Jigsaw, Ted Baker

Jigsaw was great for me last year, also Boden for staples, Hobbs, white company.

Little DD and I spent 30 minutes today admiring the Boden catalogue, I love the summer dresses this year (after several ghastly Boden years) but I have no reason at all to buy a summer dress this year. We picked out clothes for our imaginary holiday.

I buy levi jeans every year on a trip to USA, but not this year so will have to hold over.

Right now I am living in Sweatty Betty and some very old lululemon cotton 3/4 yoga leggings.

I get most on Etsy. Things are a little more expensive but they are natural fabrics, made to my size and good quality. Also, I like supporting small businesses. Otherwise, I get a stuff at Seasalt and from New Look Curve mostly. New Look has some dross, but also some great things if you keep an eye on their stock.

Anthropologie - for the odd thing
H&M - basics
Winser London - work stuff
& other stories - jumpers
Whistles - again only the odd thing
Cos - work stuff
Zara
Asda jeans - straight leg stretch - have many pairs..

It’s an eclectic mix tbh. I Love independent boutiques tho for individual pieces, prob the majority of wardrobe... love some of the danish brands...

COS, TOAST, and other stories, Zara, monki, eBay and occasionally urban outfitters and depop ( I blame my teen DDs), some independent brands too that I follow on Instagram.

44 here.
Mostly H&M
A few bits from Cos
Kin (John Lewis)
Free people
ASOS
The odd thing from Urban outfitters
The odd thing from Top shop
Small boutique type places

Sainsbury's, Apricot, H&M, superdry. Primarni.

Anyone mind giving the name of the independent brands they follow on Instagram? I need inspiration!

45. Zara for about 70% of what I buy, Whistles for barrel leg jeans and coats plus the odd top, &Other Stories sometimes, mainly dresses, jumpers from M&S cashmere when they are in the sale.

I normally work just off Oxford Street so I'm saving an absolute fortune during lock down!

Zara, Hush, Massimo Dutti, Gap, Boden, French Connection (sometimes), Reiss (sometimes), LK Bennett (think it’s gone now 🙄), Boux Avenue and Rosie for M&S for lingerie

Hush, Whistles, Jigsaw (not much), Zara, & Other Stories, H&M sometimes.

Have a couple of nice boutiques near me and I buy a fair bit from there. I recently bought a Lily and Lionel dress and some Veja trainers from one of them. Thankful they've had a brilliant online service in lockdown.

Reiss, Hobbs, Boden, Jigsaw, Jaegar, Gap, Diane Von Furstenberg, whistles, Vivienne Westwood, Zara, J Crew.

Jeans - I have a high waisted pair from both Levi’s and Betty Barclay.

water jungle I like kemitelford on Instagram and thefrugality and wearandwhere and wearsmymoney for great suggestions and ideas and links to lovely things.
