You have to choose ONE shop to buy clothes from, for the rest of your life...which shop are you choosing?

[Spicymisosoup]

It has to be a stand-alone brand, so no asos or zalando type choices.

Mine is a close call between Cos and Uniqlo. I really like that monochromatic, vaguely Japanese, minimalist but striking look. I only rarely achieve it though.

It'll have to be Uniqlo, I don't really have a Cos lifestyle I don't think. I find the clothes aspirational though.

So what are you going for?

Mountain Warehouse

Assuming you could buy specialist things like underwear/shoes/outdoor gear elsewhere, then probably Hobbs. Not high fashion but usually good fabrics, a decent range of styles and clothes for different occasions, good for hourglasses, and have even started doing petites. I have lots of wardrobe basics ranging from everyday skirts and tops to workwear and beautiful wool coats from them, and would really miss them if they went under. My only complaint is that their skirts and dresses are often two or three inches too short, especially for things that are clearly designed as workwear, and that's speaking as someone who is not exactly gifted in the height department.

Me and Em. So long as I can also be given the budget to do so!

Toast

I want clothes I could still wear in my 80s.

Ooh, tough one. Probably All Saints going by my current wardrobe

Morrisons. It's where I've bought most of my clothes over the last 18 months and they've done me fine!

Tu *@Sainsburys*. They know how to have a sale.

yes i agree

John Lewis- or is that cheating

Otherwise Fat Face

M&S as I can shop the men's section as well as the women's.

I'm going to go mumsnet classic and say Boden. It's the place where I can order stuff and its fits, feels comfortable and looks flattering on my old meatbag.

I suppose it depends what your job is, if you wfh or are a sahm with toddlers etc.
I'm at work, dress code with no jeans, trainers, casual wear etc so the shop out of necessity has to have a bit more formal clothing.
My favourite is Toast, but maybe I'd go for Jigsaw or Whistles.

Sézane probably if you also give me the budget to match

Uniqlo too but love the idea of Vinted too !!

Brora

Monsoon although I don't know what they're like for basics so I might have to live in mid budget occasionwear for the rest of my days.

But if I were rich and slim enough then it would be Dior all the way.

Freepeople

Arket... if they closed down it could be & Other Stories if high street.

Hard one! I narrowed it down to 4. Joseph,Cos,Zara or J.Crew.

Marks & Spencers. I've always been a fan of their clothes, even when people roundly panned it on Mumsnet! I even like their bras now - they were shite before. Also love their jeans and they are meant to be a bit better than other high street stores in terms of sustainability, I think. I even but from their menswear section.

M&S. I'd need underwear and socks and could also buy some food.

50/50 between sea salt and joules

M&S shoes are pretty good for the price.

Interesting answers! I'm definitely going into M&S the next time I walk past it. It seems there's good stuff to be found in there!

Killstar or emp

Levi's. Went to their shop today and could literally have bought everything
