The op is in her early 30s!!! There’s a lot of mumsy links on here. I have DDs that age and they laughed! There are far better options. Net a porter for example!

God, it's not bloody ageism to acknowledge that 30 year olds and 70 year olds tend to dress differently.

It is "bloody ageism" by posters who go on about how awful certain brands are and they're suitable for old women. And that happens all the time on here. Why do posters assume that after 60 women lose all sense of style?

And as for describing clothes as "Mumsy", which I see has made an appearance -what is that even supposed to mean?

lol,gosh you love beating that drum. No one said 70 year olds lose their sense of style, what was said is 3o year olds don’t tend to dress like 7o year olds. We accept this upsets you. But it doesn’t make it ageist or even untrue,

@Cloudconfusion Ha! I am 70. My DDs are stylish and we all recognise they don’t dress the same as me. Although there are some crossovers! Jeans and shirts for example. We all shop at Zara. However I don’t wear short skirts or dresses. DD1 goes to kits of black tie so has a style for that. I go to far less but I would avoid high street.

It is ageist to go straight to phase 8 and Hobbs for older women and/or to say those clothes are only suitable for them not fashionable young women. It does exactly imply that older women lose their sense of style and quite frankly, looking at some of the suggestions, that it doesn’t much matter what they wear. Terms such as frumpy and mumsy are ageist.
Also, by the by, just because someone has a daughter getting married doesn’t make them the fount of all knowledge and arbiter of wedding style, they can still only speak to their own personal taste and the social sphere they inhabit.

Lots of black tie - not kits!
