Where would you shop if you could?

[pleasewaitcalculating]

What are your fav quality brands? I'm putting together a wish-list for clothing, footwear, home stuff, accessories

A) Best of the worst (you need to buy something that looks nice but no funds)

• H&M
• M&S

B) Usual go-to when I've put aside a budget (good quality, somewhat fits your style)

• M&S
• Jaeger
• Hobbs
• Reiss
• Laura Ashley (vintage)
• John Lewis

C) Aspirational (good quality, very stylish, UK made, give you pleasure when you use it for years)

• Emilia Wickstead
• Barbour

I cant figure out my go-to shops. Honestly, I think it's M&S mainly because I know their sizing, quality and price are usually balance, and styles usually are more than ok. I've been wondering what I could buy it I wanted to go a step above. I want to buy stuff that fits my style much more than ok, but that also stands the test of time for quality.

I like to shop on vinted and try to stick to non-synthetic fabric and try to shop brands that are made in the UK (hard as they've obv more expensive. I think I like classic stuff: jeans, good cotton shirts, cardigans/jumpers, work dresses (plain, tailored, sleeved a-line dresses with tights etc)

I once bought a plain M&S cotton button down from Vinted-
It was the perfect weight of cotton
It didnt feel cheap
The shade of blue was perfect and looked expensive

I've bought many M&S Vinted shirts- nothing has been of this quality. It became my solid favourite for a good two years. I left it in a hotel last week, and it cost less than the postage fee to post it back to me.

Nice but no funds - Primark, H&M, Very, Mango, Matalan
Slightly more money - Arket, Reiss, Everlane, M&S
Slightly more money + - Sezane, Reformation, Sandro
