To wear

I agree with you Poppyred, I’ve seen some that I really hate, all floral patterns, big flounces, puff sleeves. Horrible.

I think the style at the moment is either very Amish looking. I think that the designers think that once you get to a certain age and any old sack will do. I find it very difficult not only finding nice stylish things to work but also things that will actually fit my body shape which is not quite as it was when I was 20.

I got a lovely pair of baggy cotton dungarees off one of the ‘pop up’ sites I love them They certainly have some lovely fashions on them I ve bought a few and yes they aren’t brilliant quality but they are exciting styles and what more do you want for a tenner ?
I like Joe Browns ideas although they re very samey and very expensive
But in the shops nah boring, boring, same ole

I hate the dresses that are in fashion now! They all look like old fashioned curtains to me.

I think OldHag means clothes that have been featured heavily on those pop-up commercials that get in the way of what your reading or keep flashing annoyingly. I have read not very good things about them but they do depict some absolutely stunning designs in knitwear and all sorts at prices so low that they are literally too good to be true I have a feeling that the genuine designs featured would be very expensive.
But I’m with you OldHag the most mundane of clothing seams to command the highest of price tags. Eg. Trousers that fit properly and the same styles and colours everywhere I look until that trend falls out of fashion. Nothing stands out anymore unless you are pay a fortune sad

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!

AIBU to think that fashion in the UK is SO boring these days? I'm 62 and feel that there is nothing new or exciting these days. I see the occasional thing pop up online that I get excited about, only to find that the companies that advertise them are either rip off merchants, or the quality is rubbish, etc., and end up really disappointed.

Is it just me, or do you know of anywhere that sells bright, exciting styles these days, or have I just reached an age where I've seen it all, even the colours are dreary and boring?
