Where should I be shopping at 41?

I generally like clothes by Uttam ,Zara,Laura Ashley,Wallis.

But am wondering if the hippy look at 40 plus is too young for me now and who would other mumsnetters recommend as a good label adn look for a 41 year old?

you dont suddenly change after the age fo forty.

In any shops you feel comfortable. If it feels too young or old for you then it is.

Wherever you like, of course
But you'll find lots of fellow-travellers in White Stuff

Am 41 also and is a mixture for me.
White Stuff
Boden
Great Plains
Noa Noa
Some Marks (Autograph/Limited Collection)
Some Principles
Monsoon(esp trousers)
Kew(tops/knits)
I also like smaller boutiques that stock Noa/Great Plains/Avoca etc.
But...I have just bought some fab wedges in Peacocks for £6,and I have loads of Tesco vests.
Also like some dresses in French Connection and Warehouse.

I dress better now than when I was 41- and I am 53. But everyone tells me I look 43 {smile}.

I like
White Stuff
Boden ( some)
Kew
Jigsaw
Monsoon (occasionally)
Esprit

It's not about age- it is about your shape, your weight and what suits you. If you start thinking "over the hill" you will dress mumsny

It's a case of hiding the bad bits and showing the good bits- and often colours make a huge difference- I would hate to be mutton dressed as lamb- but an outfit can look great and classy say in brown, or a neutral shade and really cheap and girly in a pastel shade.

anywhere you like waitin.you are bound to find things in lots of different shops these days.

Agree GND. All about choosing carefully,and adding contemporary 'twist' in form of jewellery etc.
