Seriously, where are all the mid-range clothes at?

[Raisedbed]

Looking to boost my autumn/winter wardrobe a bit with some smart casual knitwear. Need natural fibres, so high % of wool and cotton. No acrylic SHEIN shite, and no £300 Jigsaw jumpers either.

Does what I'm looking for exist for around £50-£60 an item? I'd like it to last, and have found some nice bits in & Other Stories and French Connection before, but they're a bit bland and colourless I find. I love bright block colours and classic slim fit stuff, so find the trendier shops pretty hopeless.

Following for inspiration!

And me

Seasalt

Try woolroom? Pure?

Vinted.

Oliver Bonas? M&S had some nice knktwear today. It looked different and a bit fresher.

Woolovers is your best bet for reasonably priced smart/casual knitwear in natural fibres.
The staples come in loads of different colours

Thanks all. I've looked at M&S, Woolovers and Seasalt. I'm a bit young for their styles yet...and Oliver Bonas has fantastic colours but they're a bit too on the nose for my style 🤔 I'm gonna get roasted for being too fussy...

The styles are awful though.

Next?

Maybe it's time I stopped avoiding Boden!

Boden is a bit weird now.

It seems Cos and Arket have collared this market.

But their styling isn’t for everyone.

I like Mango for jumpers.

Zara had some nice bits the other day including cashmere cardis that were on the spenny side

How old are you Op to think you’re too young for M&S? I agree Boden also good for knitwear

Uniqlo?

Abercrombie!

Love Joe Browns. Bought a lovely coat and jumper yesterday. But I also called into Tescos today for some bits, and thought they had some lovely styles there. Was half tempted to invest in a few staples. Might call back in when I have more time..

Cotton Traders? I just bought a lovely chocolate brown cardigan.

I've just looked at the clothes on the Boden site and need Botox now, I've been frowning so much.

I'm in my 30s. Just had a nosy around Nobody's Child (Iast year I bought a bright summer dress in the sale from there which I love) and it's OK; loads of cream cardigans but also some fun among the boring.
COS is really expensive!! Will try Arket now.

Personally I think M&S has some great pieces for good value and definitely wouldn’t discount them in your 30s

I’ve recently had nice things from Palome.

I keep seeing ads for joules new heritage range and can’t decide why it looks so meh, reasonable quality but not quite right.

sugarhill Brighton might have something?

I don't think Arket is any cheaper than Cos to be honest.
