Whats your brand personality?

[henlake7]

Just curious....do you have a particular brand that is just 'you'?
Somewhere you can spend hours window shopping and know you will love almost everything or are you more of a varied shopper.

Im abit of both. I have 1 favourite brand that I tend to live in (and feels like my personality in a nutshell!) and another that is my 'bit on the side', both of which are abit spenny for me so I stalk the sales and Vinted.
Vinted is also where I branch out, alot of brands I'll happily buy second hand much cheaper but never go to the actual sites.

Hmm, the only high street store I can think of where I'd have happily worn pretty much anything was Gap in the 90s/early noughties. But even then, it didn't satisfy everything - I still went to Top Shop and vintage shops for a bit of glitter and glamour.

If money were no object, I'd wear a lot more Margaret Howell but I don't like everything she does so it's not quite the same, plus I'd still go somewhere else to 'top up'.

I have a habit of getting very into a look and wearing it more or less constantly, sometimes for 10 years or more, but I always get bored eventually and move on. So that's probably my style personality and I can't think of one brand that deals with that.

I do seem to have an issue with buying too much from Hush.
It used to be TopShop. I literally cried when it closed

Usually love everything Sisley.

Monsoon Twilight on Vinted.
Disturbia has some midi/maxi dresses I love.
Fitted jackets at Joe Browns.

It’s coming back. In John Lewis. Will be interesting to see what that looks like, I was a huge top shot fan too, and think about it often

Topshop! Edit button won’t work for me.

I'm probably too old for TopShop now at 57 but i still have fond memories of the Kate Moss collab.

miss Selfridge was my shop in my mid to late teens then a oasis girl with warehouse on the side in my 20s right up to Covid , then it all changed both went online and got shit .. now I’m loving disturbed and a few other like asos

The first thing I thought of was 90s GAP!

90s Ted Baker was HEAVEN.

Another vote for topshop. If I was ever in desperate need of an outfit, guaranteed would find one in there, every time. the make up was amazing too.

20 years ago,I would have said Joe browns

I loved 99% but they went weird with their cheap fabrics and dresses that fade after one wash

Now,I love lindy bop,lady vintage and hell bunny (thank God for vinted)

In the late 80s/ early 90s, I absolutely loved Jigsaw. The silk shirts, the polka dots, the suits. I had a plain navy dress in a heavy jersey that i loved. It had covered buttons up the front, long sleeves with cuffs and a rounded collar. I also remember a black fitted velvet dress with a long flared skirt, a scoop neck and long sleeves that I wore and wore. I turned it into a skirt once I’d worn it to death. I still have it - nearly 40 years on.

Want Marina Rinaldi.
Can afford Very and Simply Be.
Plus a bit of supermarket chic.

Boden in the late 90s and early 00s. I bought pretty much all my clothes there for years. Loved that it was natural materials and colourful.

Nowadays I love COS with a passion but buy clothes in lots of places.

My brands - Ralph Lauren & Max Mara
Bit on the side - All Saints & Loewe (the latter is more of a dream than a reality apart from a belt!)

Stradivarius is usually a win.

Me+Em & Max Mara / MM Wknd, then Dea Kudibal silk dresses in the summer

Thinking about it some more, probably Vivienne Westwood when she worked with the likes of Harris Tweed and John Smedley, particularly in the late 80s - the blend of innovation with respect for tradition and quality,

Vinted 😂

Sweaty Betty
Gym stuff obviously
Day to day wear including jumpers, T shirts
Coats, gilets and fleeces
Beachwear

I even have a SB dress - a slim black column dress that looks a bit like a swimsuit at the top - that I can wear with a casual heel to go out to dinner in on holiday

I rarely buy anything with a pattern and I don't like clothes that are stiff and restrictive

Zara

My main brand is Joanie. I'm a huge fan of quirky or retro and it really ticks all the boxes.
Second tier is Disturbia. It has lots of nice prints and I love little details on clothes like embroidery which it does well.

Lastly for CBA/at home days I love abit of Primark, it's never going to regarded as quality but I still have a few things from there that have held up really well over the years.

Lol I was going to say Next as I can buy without trying on and about 90% of my stuff is from there.
However I feel a bit odd compared to all these other brands, most of which I've never heard of 😅

Places I can always find something I like: Anthropologie, Toast, Free People, Agnes B, & Other Stories.

Back in the 80s/90s, definitely TopShop, Hobbs and Jigsaw. Jigsaw seems very middle-aged these days and I don't really wear that kind of clothing. Can't remember the last time I saw a branch of Hobbs, and I don't think a teenager would be seen dead in there these days!
