AIBU to think

Fashion is a way of extracting money from the gullible, and, for those who are not prepared to wait a few years for the same styles to reappear.

Whatever is your classification, ENJOY.

Like Sea salt too. Usually wait for sale. Going to have a look at weird fish. Love colour even though older as I think it suits me.

The 'so-called' fashions you see in the papers and mags - Do you ever see anyone wearing them?

After being in the house so long and wearing my comfies as I call them, I've started looking online as my shows and lunches have all started up again. I don't even know what styles I even like anymore, although I did get a Damart catalogue sent to me the other day and I have my eye on a few things in it, but I really need to get out of my comfies and lose a bit of weight while I'm at it.

I like sea salt too. I've just thought, weird fish do bright colours and they are very reasonable in the sale

I am 82 and buy clothes from Sea salt, White Stuff and Cotswold Collection when they have sale offers - I can usually find items that I like but of course plenty that I don't. Just have to pick and choose. I love bright colours as they make me look and feel good

Since I've never been interested in fashion, I pay no attention to it or those trying to promote it. I spent my working life in uniform and I wear what I think suits me and my purse. Yes it is boring.

I love colour as well, I find a lot of stuff I like in Zara, being Spanish they have the kind of fashion/ colours that I like.

I love Joe Brown's too. Often buy in their sales.
There's loads of lovely clothes around if you look for them, imho. The QVC website has lots of fashion names.

My friend short like me wanted a pair of trousers so told her what I had found. Put in “M&s extra short trousers ( even if You are tall) and it will pick up on a certain style that does many lengths. Kind of buckle at waist. Quite classic. Had more colours originally. Look good with bright top and scarf. We have three pairs each.

I find Gudrun a bit baggy. Sahara are good but also baggy and very expensive.
I have bought a couple of tops from China recently - they are lovely and bright and very reasonable. I have been pleased with them but of course it is luck of the draw.

I think you don’t really mean fashion which is never boring as being exciting is the whole point!
I think you mean high-street-clothing for your own personal taste!

Kit And Kaboodle has a lot of very reasonably priced stuff. I've had dresses, tunics and trousers from them that have lasted for many years. It never seems to date either.

Very true Bluebelle. I also like to find things you can wear more than one way. I have a wrap dress that has been worn as a dress, a skirt and a coat.

Indeed you can, blossoming everyone commenting here has a good income methinks.
I have a WeirdFish jacket that I like but that was a charity shop buy too in great condition and you can try on as opposed to buying online
I like things a bit out of the ordinary I guess, but not way out and definitely not dress dressy, tunics yes, but not dresses

BlueBelle you can get some good stuff on the Vinted website.

Take a look at stitch fix

I love Gudrun, but given my height and size, I'd look like a walking chintz sofa if I tried to wear her stuff.

I really like EShakti. They have styles that I like and you can adjust the length, arm length and neckline. I've had a couple of lovely bits from there. When my income has settled itself down (upwardly I hope), I'll get a few more bits. I'm a plain colours girl. A lot of black with bright coloured accessories although I'd wear a lot of green if I could find it, but it's rare.

Have you tried White Stuff, Weird Fish and Fat face. Some nice clothes, not the cheapest but well made. I've bought a few things in their sales. Have a look on line.

This company do quite jolly stuff?

I m still happy in the charity shop where I can buy ‘makes’ at a fraction of the price and can pick something different
Some of the prices in the Gudrun link make my eyes water

There are a couple of little shops in the towns near me, and also the weekly market, that sell ‘Made in Italy’ clothes. Through the summer, they’ve been selling linen tops / dresses, etc plus jewellery and bags. These are in a range of colours and styles - some very bright and colourful. They’re now starting with jumpers and tunics - with sequinned stars on them. All quite jolly, and cheap. This one does online too -

JaneJudge I use Joe Browns for the odd item, often in the sale, I do love their clothes, but with my life a lot of them wouldn’t get any use.
Sorry Maw I think Gudrun’s trousers are bit odd, I wouldn’t wear them and a lot of the rest is very ‘samey’.
But I don’t often buy clothes, the basics suit me.
OldHag maybe you could look at vintage for something a bit original?

For colours I love Gudrun Sjoden (I buy online) but recognise they are not everybody’s taste.
If you like bright colours and slightly quirky styling do have a look!

They are lovely and bright, but very expensive.

I prefer simple lines and being short I don’t suit big bold fussy prints. Doubtless some people will find this ‘boring’, but I want to wear my clothes not them to wear me.
