I have no idea what to get! I could do with some new jeans, maybe slim cut rather than skinny or other wider styles. Are the Lily slim fit any good?

Or what are good basics to get from there? T-shirts, shirts etc?

Help! Thank you.

Can you afford to do a big order and send stuff back?

I have just done that to try several different black trouser options (still trying to find that perfect cigarette leg)
Ordered some T-shirts and blouses in the end of the sale too

If you can manage it (and you are prepared to send everything back if necessary) you can then have a proper try on to see what might work with your current wardrobe

Plus if you spend over £50 it's free delivery (returns are free)

The Harper cigarette jeans are wonderful
The V neck slub T-shirts fit and wash brilliantly

I had a gift card to spend there recently. I think it was £45. I bought a maternity top that was in the sale, knickers, bras and an Easter egg for DH.

i like their jeans, nickers, swimsuits and leggings in particular.

@Oly4 ooh, what’s the sizing like on the Harper jeans? I’m usually a 10 but recently got a pair of M&S boyfriend jeans in an 8 (reviews said size down) which fit perfectly but also a pair of cords from there in a 10 that I can’t even get past my thighs! Their sizing is....stressful.

Oly4 · 23/03/2021 12:50

I’d get an 8 as they are lovely and stretchy. I’m a 12 and squeeze into a 10 in those but I don’t like jeans that fall down!

I can't find the Harper jeans on m&s website. Can anyone post a link please?

Balaur · 23/03/2021 13:43

I also looked and it seems they're no longer selling the Harper jeans?

I like their beauty stuff- don't really buy clothes in their but did get some nice blouses recently.

Their formula own brand skincare (especially the ultimate sleep cream) is really good.

If you like a cleansing balm then the Rose Cleansing Balm from their Pure range is really lovely - better, I think, than Elemis etc.

I’ve also been living in their Cosy Cuff Joggers around the house for the last few months.

I just bought the lily slim fit and am really disappointed - they stretch in all the wrong places and slip down so I just have to keep hitching them up
The next size down were far too small

I’d buy loungewear but I am basically living in M&S loungewear

BeaLola · 24/03/2021 08:02

Underwear - they had a very pretty range of knickers and bras in recently

Failing that something from the beauty section
