I am slightly lost in my style and need some new stores to look at /browse online.

I like:

  • earthy colours- dark green, dark orange, navy, brown, black and white
  • Jeans- I wear mom style or wide leg/baggy. High waist as I don’t like a cold back ☺️
  • shortish tops that meet the high waist trousers
  • like winter skirts/dresses. Short, as I short!!
  • I am size 10 mostly. And 5ft 2
  • defined waist, small chest, larger thighs as I weight lift

typical outfit would be slightly cropped mon jeans, slightly cropped t-shirt then Hoff coloured trainers or flat ankle boots.

I normally shop in H&M, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Zara.
but I can afford more quality now and want better things.

Please give me some brand ideas !!

You have to pay a lot more for true quality but I'm an Autumn who dresses in earthy colours (not black and white!) and find Mango quite decent especially at the moment when browns and other earthy tones are in (but even when they're not).

Uniqlo.

Zara's sister brand Massimo Dutti could fit the bill, also the H&M group brands Arket, Cos, & other stories? They all tend to use better materials but many styles are shared across brands.
