Which brands do you think are aimed at cool, smart (maybe slightly older) women?

Inspired by the phone-in on Woman’s Hour(that probably says all you need to know about my demographic.) I’m wondering which brands nowadays are aimed at women like this in the UK.

I feel I’ve been through my quirky mum of toddlers, vintage 50s dresses and casual work from home phases and I’m a bit stuck as to where to go next.

I guess I’m like a lot of you (although obviously we won’t all share the same tastes.) Professional job, older kids, richer, but not as slim as I was, reasonably urbane interests and way past wanting to look cute and sexy.

Which brands do you think cater for those of us who want to look cool, clever and, on a good (or bad) day, maybe a little intimidating?

I also am not boho leaning and like your recommendations! Also love Róhe, Toteme, Acne Studios and wear some of Essentiel Antwerps less out there stuff. Discovered Rabens Saloner recently and like their trousers. I love Maison Margiela and occasionally pick some second hand. These brands are all pricey so I buy less and get what I can second hand, and wear to death. Supplemented with Cos, Arket and By Malina, with Zara/Massimo Dutti.

We have similar tastes, @TealReader.

But why on earth have you resurrected a zombie thread from 2023?

Oh it was linked in another thread and I didn’t realise!

Easily done, I guess!
