White stuff or fat face?

[licquorice]

Are either appropriate for a 40 year old mum of 3?

I think that's precisely their market isn't it?

i like fat face. I'm 28!

I'm a 39 year old mum of 2 and have a few bits from both White Stuff and Fat Face

yes adn they are the same place really. so i defy anyone to come on and say one is suitable for a 40 year old mum of 3 and the other isn't

I am 39 and I worry that it is too middle-aged hippy for me !

think whitestuff stuff is odd fitting tbh.

I'm 42 and I live in White Stuff. Virtually.

not so keen on FF, but they're ok.

You won't find many 20 somethings going in there. It is exactly 30s and 40s.

( and personally I find it [bleurr] and [shudder] because of that. Women of my age trying to look surfer cool. [shudder] again)

I am 38, mum of 1 and am wearing FF jeans as I type. I LOVE them. Was wearing FF shorts this mroning, but it went cold.

what is the difference puppymonkey?

or maybe it is just I am too old

the generous sizes are a give away. most surfer chicks are lithe girlchilds, wearing cotton sarongs they picked up 'travelling' they are not generously hipped woman in mock boho pleated skirts.

Both! I think they're both aimed at that sort of age group.

I like White Stuff - FF sizes seem really huge.

Thanks for reassurance.~I was worried they were both a bit surfer ish

Anyone know when their sales will start?

I like the skirts, dresses and tops better in White Stuff. FF are a bit

Btw, I don't surf, I can't even swim. Their stuff looks nice for work and is comfy and not tarty and not boring. That's all!

both are very appropriate, I prefer White Stuff

I'm not that keen on both, tbh.

as a former lithe young boho, sarong-wearing camper van hippy, i have to say FF usually looks a little more boho (though do NOT go and copy all their layering As It Is Seen In The Catalogue. Is a dead give away...

WS is a little more ''quirky, grow-your-own bunting, want to look different but NOT too different'' IYKWIM.

I think FF stuff is very disappointing in the flesh. Go into the shops with high hopes but never buy anything

yes they give the impression of having nice stuff but then the whole surfboard and fraying rope decor gets to me and i have to leave

I agree fat face is just that bit more hippyish. You can imagine a crusty with a dog on a string wearing fat face style clothes, but less so WS.

I find the occasional thing in WS that I really love and I think the stuf is definitely appropriate - but I'm wary of the WS clone look (as with Boden).

Though one reason I do go into fat face is to swoon over their overpriced camping/picnic whatnottery.

this year's FF is stuff IS dissapointing.
I had some vouchers and vouldn't find anything whih looked nice on.

I was hankering after white, cotonny and cool but everything seemeed very odd kimono style styling, and looked like butcher's apron rather than floaty cute tunicy top I was looking for.

i also think if i want to wear faded clothes i will just go to a charity shop.
