Sweaty betty jumpsuits, always look good on, try to get them in the sales though and can’t afford to buy multiples thereof sadly

Icebreaker merino T shirts.

I've got ten Levi Perfect fit t-shirts.

RavingStone · 20/08/2023 12:11

New look boxy fit t-shirts in two different sizes as I like the fit of both. There's only a few colours of the plain ones ( can't stand pointless logos) but I'm going to dye some of the white ones. They're the perfect fit for me. Not quite cropped but ending near my natural (high) waist. In a normal length t-shirt I look like I don't have a waist.

New Look is weird. Can be a sea of polyester awfulness and yet there are often absolute gems hidden away. Great denim too. The cut of their clothes can be amazing, I wish they'd do a premium line which was ethical and better made.

Niftythrifter · 20/08/2023 12:13

@RavingStone agree about NL of you look closely you can find cotton dresses perfect for summer.

Bretton tops with the Mango ones and Other Stories particular favourites.

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie

How do you find M&S merino jumpers? I bought 2 last year, washed them on wool cycle with delicates detergent and both have shrunk a tiny bit. OK in the body still but arms are now tight, I kept them as they look good on video calls for work but it put me off buying more…

Icedlatteplease · 20/08/2023 12:17

Uniqlo long sleeve dresses
Uniqlo trench in Black and tan
Next tapered leg joggers. Although I can never find them in the shop so it's always ebay. I have the nearest thing from the shop but they aren't as smart.
Black lace top tops h&m (although I think they've stopped stocking them)
t-shirts and vest tops primark (yes they wash and wear absolutely fine)
hoodies For primark
Pants and bras from primark (but not the local one

Doggymummar · 20/08/2023 12:19

I used to have multiple pairs of Boden Richmond trousers, but I have gone off them a bit now.

Hush basic black leggings
Hush v neck vests
Both nice quality and very comfy
Whistles midi dresses

WhenIWasAFieldMyself · 20/08/2023 15:59

M&S Autograph t shirts
Cos t shirts
Arket t shirts
Uniqlo thick cotton t shirts

Variations of the above in navy, white and black. Always the better quality ones so I don't need to replace every year.

M&S wide legged jersey trousers navy and black. I have about 5 pairs of each colour.

M&S supersoft jumpers. I have about 10 in various colours. Perfect for when you need something but not a massive chunky jumper.

Fitflop Rally trainers. Worn to death every summer so replaced each year.

bingohandjob · 20/08/2023 16:04

Finisterre woollen jumpers in the winter sale. Have a lovely collection from over last 6 or 7 years.

Uniqlo supima t shirts - buy them in black, white and navy and wear them on rotation then repeat a good few years later when they are looking worse for wear and regulated to housework/dog walking.

Gossard Glossies bras. Reliable fit, good colours, I much prefer the sleek look they give to fussy bras under t shirts etc.

M&S cool comfort slips - one to sleep in, a few different colours/lengths for dresses as they hang and move so much better with a slip. I hate dresses/skirts lined in cotton as they bunch up and hang strangely.

EwwSprouts · 20/08/2023 16:10

As a PP, FitFlop Rally trainers. Currently have two ordinary pairs and one hi-top. Only those ones because they have a fab sole & never had a blister from them. Buy in the sale!

M&S Heatgen thermal long sleeve t shirts. Work in a cold environment and most us swear by them

WinniePig · 20/08/2023 19:31

Whistles V neck tee with buttons down middle (in white, green and pink)

Toms (orange, navy and black pairs)

Matalan v neck t shirts

Precipice · 20/08/2023 21:20

When I find summer tops that work for me, I buy multiples. I struggle for summer tops, because almost all of them are too low cut for my preference (in t-shirts, I only wear crew necks) or if they're not, they usually have some weird cut fabric elsewhere, or ruffles. I have multiples of these simple tops I bought in Sinsay years ago, of a Superdry run two or three years ago when they were doing loose-cut 'surf tops' (at least, the ones without the massive logos they slap on a lot of their items), and of a linen sleeveless shirt with a half placket I got off Etsy.

lindyloo57 · 20/08/2023 22:20

m&s ribbed highneck vest tops, brought 4 last year, but this year they changed the style,
Levis jeans
M&s heatgen thermal tops, I like the thicker polo neck style.

Mine seem to have been okay so far on a cool cycle. I will be sad if they shrink!
