And a long black denim skirt and black boxy broderie anglaise shirt from Sainsburys.

Shetlands, I like your style! It seems very close to mine. I already had the willow vest in my basket but I have a couple of tops arriving today from Seasalt so thought I should wait to see what they are like before commiting to anything else. Has the willow vest met your expectations?

No proper clothes so far, but I do have lots of summer clothes including some as yet unworn. So far I have bought two pairs of Penelope Chilvers sandals, 6 pairs of cotton socks, one pair of woollen socks, one pair of cashmere bed socks (to wear in the day), one Wacoal bra and 3 Sloggi knickers. Have ordered and returned two shirts and a T shirt; all too big or too short. I have seen some nice things in Me + Em - waiting for the sale. Also, have some vouchers from Liberty so may find some things there.

I love the twist top vest @usernother. I must get that.

Nothing. Gone back through wardrobe and re-discovered some old favourites.

So far this year I've got these (I'm 62)

Belle Linen Blend Wide Trouser in DARK TAN | White Stuff

Made in Italy Pia Pillow Cotton Crochet Hippie Shirt Sky Blue (laundryb.com)

Made in Italy Quiet Luxury Como Grandad Shirt Pistachio (laundryb.com) - this in white

Tropical Leaf Print Shirt Dress in Green - Roman Originals UK

Absolutely placemarking. 53 and didn’t realise how frumpy I was. Go for it ladies, I need the help

Over 60s style? Carla Sozzani, 76. (Though maybe Spring rather than Summer!)

I'm 5ft 4in and a size 12 by the way

Pale gold footbed sandals ( birkenstock-alikes)

Some scoop neck long sleeve black t shirts from M&S autograph (good quality) and H&M (cheap but useful)

Black linen shirt H&M

Black silk popover blouse (not my usual sort of thing and doesn't look great in the pics but it's fab when on, knit cuffs and neckline, unusual)

Hellon Are the M and S ones comfortable? I just sent some Birkenstocks back as they just didn’t feel comfortable! Might go to M and S try these instead. I find as I get older I like a padded sole for walking about but like the look of birkies.

The thing about Birkenstocks - any shoe but B's especially - is that they will suit some foot shapes but not others

Yes it's great! I like to wear these kinds of tops with jeans/jeggings and a loose linen-type shirt instead of a jacket or knitwear. I need to get some light cotton trousers for hot days - I don't like wearing shorts these days as my knees have become saggy!

I have some padded sole sandals from Moshulu - very comfy.

Ive just received the tops I bought earlier this week and im really pleased with both.
3/4 sleeved Jersey top https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285444640621?itmmeta=01HXM579W2WV0RNGC56ZKA3ZEK&hash=item4275d38f6d:g:9DwAAOSw8MxmOvYv&amdata=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0EX%2BWkRoLh2LVcwMO88UFG7umKlcaZAOtH8leqiBtf3UtDZJcx7msvSCTSYcb5UUeEcTmJIAvuhaOlS8TIBCQkoeouJUDQyJRieUC3vD67t0%2FRnNMB%2FYd5Gx8g%2BTF5oJho9F30lRSll9OppsHeQ5V5jtH7ccQFYSXQTloF%2FzKXoCzLb%2BQPMCbZuraqZ7yQgI7oypRY1mpjMGlycljiOW4pjliqrTp7W6Mr3RAMfEWKClC95DEf4erJRLUhw9FoG064FfukcTIAaHJqHppaGJyPA%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMjp6dhe1j&var=587376537570

And this short sleeved jersey top https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285836242580

Also got my eyes on these flip flops because I adore flip flops https://www.marksandspencer.com/cushion-breeze-flat-flip-flops/p/clp22589246?color=WHITE#intid=pid_pg1pip48g4r6c4|prodflag_New|prodflag_plp_ts_QP_14

I find them comfortable. More so than Birkenstocks which I cant wear as I seem to be awkwardly between sizes in them.

Just turned 70, 5' 4" 12 on top and 14 on the bottom. Have just bought the following:

I don't buy new clothes each year, I buy stuff I love and wear it until it falls apart.

But I hate and detest clothes shopping...

trousers (in blue)
long sleeved top (in blue)
vest
cardigan
orange dress
plus a pair of swim leggings and a long-sleeved rash vest from Amazon!

@Mymiddlenameiscynic I don’t think anyone on the thread has suggested that we must all throw away our clothes every year and buy an entire new wardrobe?

Most people are showing the new things they have bought or plan to buy. I also showed two dresses I wore so little last year that they still feel relatively new.

I’m early 60s.

Part lost!

‘have bought or plan to buy to wear with what they already own.’

I’ve bought this in orange and navy

I have also bought a navy bikini with high waisted bottoms from M n S
Some tan Ugg sandals
A navy cardigan from white stuff and a navy white phase eight dress
I’m going away next week somewhere warm so done a bit of a capsule wardrobe to supplement things I’ve already got from previous years
I am 60, 5’4” and a 16-18 depending on which shop

I have just bought that T-shirt @usernother. The M and S I went into didn't have the twist top vest though.
