I’ll usually get bits from

John Lewis
Marks and Spencer
Mint Velvet
Sometimes, Phase Eight and Next

I’m looking for suggestions for online shopping that I don’t know or are unknown.

Thanks.

Used to like going into Debenhams as they had various makes plus their own clothing range but sadly the one closed last year for good but that some remain still open and do on-line as they used to do. Next do on-line as well as regular stores up and down the uk, and saw the other week a nice range of clothing in my size for a change. But bought a couple of items yesterday in Mountain Warehouse, not necessarily for outdoor + walking - pair shorts, a breathable top, and some nice dresses were on a rail which were really nice.

Really enjoying reading this thread and getting ideas!
55 and I shop Jigsaw, sweaty Betty, M&S and their new on board brands, a little Boden, some Trouva (independent boutiques online), and Finisterre for outdoor gear.

@MrsElijahMikaelson1 I'd love to shop Brora but can't quite stomach the prices. Is there a trick to finding deals? Or is the stuff simply totally worth it?
