Mid to late 30s I shopped in white stuff a lot. Like Boden though it's no longer a go to store for me. Why is that? I looked at their stuff recently and the patterns are hideous and the quality of old seems to be lacking.

Similar to me, The quality just isn’t there I don’t think. I think they try to make too much so instead of focusing on a smaller better quality collection there ends up being tonnes of crazy patterns and low quality rubbish. It’s a shame as I have loads of white stuff from years past that’s really lovely and nice quality. They did do some ‘out there’ patterns but nothing as twee as there is now.
It’s a shame when brands you like do this.

High street has very little now I’d buy from. Fatface went a bit crap for a while there but seems to have improved a bit.

Their sizing is far too ‘generous’; but the proportions are off so only really suits bigger women with rectangular body shapes. I don’t know anyone under 65 who shops there & even then they only go when they want loose holidaywear.

I used to buy loads of clothes from White Stuff probably 5 or 6 years ago for both work and casual wear. I liked the So Glad and Very range for more dressy pieces too.

For some reason I just don't buy anything from them anymore. The styles and colours just don't appeal.

I’m in my mid-30s and have had a few lovely pieces from White Stuff over the last few years. Head to toe WS wouldn’t work for me, but styled with DMs, etc., it works really well and the quality has been good (despite the awareness that’s lots of peeps report on worsening quality).

You can still get the occasional lovely item, but I can’t be bothered looking at everything else to find it…

I’m the opposite, I didn’t used to see anything I liked in there, but the last 6 months I keep seeing lovely things there! I went in the other day and saw at least 3 items I wanted.
