Just that! What additions to your wardrobe do you want and where from?

@Josephincluded

I’d like a leather biker jacket but still trying to find the one.

Dresses for work that work on my body shape. An ongoing battle.

I have just bought this from Outnet with another 15% off with FIRST15 I use this code with every purchase and it has always worked.

TK Maxx can be good for biker jackets. I bought a dove grey DKNY one in there last year that is heavenly.

As well as finding specific garments, I'd like to have somewhere to go to ear nice things. Somebody get married!

I'd be happy just to fit back into all my existing clothes Grin I'll be going back to the office in a few weeks, probably only a couple of days a week, but everything is too tight and I really don't want to buy anything in a bigger size so the calories are being counted very carefully.

I did have a weird hankering for a fleece aztec patterned oversized shirt thing I had back in the 90s, couldn't find anything with a similar pattern but I've ordered a couple of check ones from Pull & Bear to see if I like them.

Also wondering whether I'd like a pair of barrel leg jeans from Whistles or something similar from elsewhere.

I really want some shirts, a nice navy one and a few florals. I'm so sick to death of tshirts etc. I want to look a bit more glam/put together.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 05/02/2022 18:38

Just coming back to say my H&M order came and I love my new jacket! It’s really nicely oversized which looks so much more modern than my Whistles one, and the leather is hood quality for the price.

I have this one. Its love it. Really has a decent weight/qualitt to it, almost like a man's jacket.

I want a bit of a wardrobe revamp. The clothes I wore during the last 2 years of lockdowns no longer feel like me now I’m free again!

Over the next few months I’ll be planning a capsule wardrobe- key pieces in the same colourway which all mix & match. The last couple of years did help me nail down the colours : neutrals - black, white, charcoal, beige, accents - coral, hot pink, cornflour blue. So I’ll be going through my current wardrobe & see what still works. I wear the same clothes inside & outside of work - smart casual - so I’m looking forward to planning what I’m going to buy!

ChocolateChocolateEverywhere · 05/02/2022 19:42

I want some grey trousers, high waisted, possibly slouchy shape. I'm a short arse and I can't find anything!

Cover up/evening wear for holiday
I was looking for a jumsuit but then I had a word with myself and put that idea to bed .

SagelyNodding · 05/02/2022 20:27

I'm looking for the perfect jumpsuit, with culotte legs and a v neck to flatter my huge boobs and plain sleeves- no puffy shoulders or ruching...it's not easy!
Also a 'summer' blazer and a load of work dresses.

Beekindbeehumble · 05/02/2022 20:33

I am looking for work clothes… two years of gaining weight has not helped! Would like a jacket to go with work outfits. Suits seem to be out where I work but need something structured over dresses.

A bit of a marmite brand but popsy have a lovely plain black culotte jumpsuit that might suit you. I keep looking at it myself

I have a minimalist wardrobe. I usually replace items when they have worn out, which is one or two items a year. It's been increasingly difficult as quality is pretty dire these days, styles are not for my body shape and colours on offer do nothing for me.

I haven't bought anything in the last 3 years.Whilst my winter wardrobe is good, my summer one is really on its way out. I have to replace 3 skirts, 1 pair of trousers and about 5 tops. I don't shop online for clothes at all, I have to see and feel fabric.

I've seen a the following and I love the style and know they would look great on me but not sure I like the colours on offer

I am looking for a leather biker jacket, ever since I did that JL styling session last year.

Magpiecomplex · 06/02/2022 20:19

White t-shirts with v-necks or scoop necks which aren't severely plain. Got a nice one from Boden already with broderie anglaise overlay on the sleeves but still looking for others. I have a lot of patterned summer skirts and white tops go with them all.

namechangeanonymous · 06/02/2022 21:17

Some nice maternity clothes, the high Street doesn't seem to think pregnancy and looking nice goes together.

BigSkies22 · 06/02/2022 21:26

Marni sandals - bought them.
Cos big cashmere jumper - bought it.
Cos sleeveless navy jumper - bought it.
Cos navy blue wide-legged high waist cotton trousers - bought htem.

I want:
maybe 2 short-sleeved linen shirts - have seen one on Etsy, thinking about getting one in 2 different colours.
a linen summer dress - seen nice ones on Etsy.

Maybe a cotton summer knit
sleeveless gilet - Uniqlo have good ones
decent lightweight waterproof.
Haven't worn jeans in years, but having seen Penelope Cruz in the current Almodovar rock Levis, quite interested in trying some out.

Come next autumn/winter, I will be looking for a replacement black cashmere polo neck and a properly warm coat.

I'm trying to keep my purchases to things that are replacing stuff I already have and really work, or that I can wear with things I already have and will last.

LunaTheCat · 06/02/2022 21:33

Nora that sounds amazing - I admire your thoughtfulness and discipline .

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 10/02/2022 08:17

For those that have mentioned linen, have you ever looked at nettle as an alternative? I love these clothes. I would love the green nettle coat, but would prefer to be slimmer first. They also do bamboo long sleeve t shirts. Not a huge range, but what they do is really nice. Kind of scandi-boho vibe, IMHO.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/02/2022 10:57

I want a black cotton summer midi dress, with short or cap sleeves, fitted waist and a v or sweetheart neckline.

New trainers to wear with jeans or with sheer-ish black tights and a mini. Can't find what I want but will know it if I see them. Not white.

A black fabric biker jacket or some other sort of casual jacket - for dressing down a 'nice' dress without it being a cardigan.

Freshprincess · 10/02/2022 11:43

Boots love all the black chunky boots around at the moment, just need to narrow my wish list down
Jeans, all my old ones appear to have shrunk in lockdown Blush. I’d found my holy grail ones from Oasis, but they are no more so it’s back to the drawing board.
Long sleeve casual winter/early spring dress

I recently bought a long sleeve cotton top from M&S which is nice and washed well so going to pick another one up.

Top of my want but don’t need is a smart tailored wool coat. Have wanted one for ages, but they aren’t really in fashion at the moment and I’ve had nowhere to wear it for a couple of years.
