Which clothes retailer going bust would you be most affected by?

[TheOGCCL]

I’m not sure as the last ten items I bought were all from different places, but maybe that is the challenge for retailers these days, they have lost their identities and with it their loyalty and clear customer base.

Potentially Next. Turns out I could easily live without M&S.

M and S

H&m. I get all my basic tshirts from there and it's great for dds clothes with the adjustable waistbands. Other than that asos as it's where I get different brands of jeans from.

I think if Uniqlo went, that would be the worst because I don’t think there’s something similar whereas Next/M&S/various are a bit interchangeable.

It would be the DDs who’d be tricky as there’s only a few places that fit their tween size and style - they live in New Look, H&M and Zara.

I wear all sorts, I don’t think I have more than 3 items from any one shop.

Next. Virtually everything in my wardrobe is from there.
M and S for underwear

M and S

Probably Next and George at Asda. Would have been M&S but their clothes quality these days is dire.

M&S for sure.

Yes, they have some rubbish. Yes, their knickers are now useless. However, for basics, jeans, etc. they take some beating, and there is some cracking more 'on trend' stuff too.

I was surprised how much I missed them when we couldn't order.

H and m. 100%. Almost all of my clothes are from there. And when I used to buy clothes for me, husband and 4 kids of varying ages, I could order everyone's at once.

M&S

Fat Face. Especially since I stopped buying M&S’s crappy knickers and switched to FF.

But then M&S, I buy my toiletries from there, plus lots of stuff for DH and DD.

Next for clothes and pants. M&S for the bras.

Fatface. I wear a lot of their dresses. Bravissimo for Bras

M and S for husband. He is tall and gets a lot of shirts/jackets/coats from their tall range

Cos. I’d say two thirds of my wardrobe was bought there and I’d be gutted if it disappeared. It used to be Zara but it’s gone downhill since it first came to the UK in the 90s. In fact I still have (and wear) a trousers suit I bought in 2000. Ditto Mango

M&S
Try as I might, I rarely buy from anywhere else.

Yours Clothing
TU from Sainsbury’s
George at Asda

I shop at these stores quite a lot, though since I discovered Vinted I buy most of my clothes there.

Next/New Look

Superdry and Fat Face.

Uniqlo

I’m surprised that you think Next quality is better than M&S. I think Next quality is shocking. So much polyester, jackets unlined, loose threads etc. It used to be good many many years ago but I think its cheap materials now.

Mand S quality has declined too in some aspects. T shirts so thin for example. But I get most of my stuff from there as its the nearest shop for me.

Yes, Next. It's been essential in my life since my son was born. Tesco clothes are handy also

M&S John Lewis

H and M - nearly everything from there . I find the quality really good overall and the price is reasonable. DD also a big user

M&S (I love their no vpl knickers and lace shorts), John Lewis, Jigsaw
