Clothes shopping

I know what you mean — a lot of the shops feel quite samey these days. If you’re after something a bit different but still classic, I’ve come across Milan Clothing in the UK. They focus on Italian-made pieces that are timeless and good quality rather than fast fashion. It might be worth a look if you like styles that last for years rather than seasonal throwaways.

I am 82 but dress the same as I always have. I need petite sizes and find White Stuff useful for trousers. I also shop at crew, Boden and sometimes M&S. I recently bought t shirts from Masai and French Connection. I’m

I'd forgotten I'd started this thread. I've lost nearly 2stone since then, another stone to go.
Thank you for the suggestions. I'm only 5ft 3 (possibly 2 now lol) . New wardrobe soon 😁

Seasalt, White Stuff and, occasionally, M&S. I’m interested that a few have recommended Kettlewell as the only thing I’ve bought from there was a very strange fabric. But that was years ago and I’m going to have another look as I’ve decided my wardrobe needs brightening up.

Yes I've lived too long in jeans, jumpers and t shirts. Time for a change

I don’t believe there is such a thing as clothes for 60+ women and if there is I probably won’t be going out of my way to buy it.
However I have almost given up on any trousers with a zip -I just don’t see the point I’m not a man, and have quite a few drawstring waist types summer and winter. I Prefer dresses to skirts but colourful skirts are very “in” at the moment in silky prints or faux suede and leather,corduroy, or mixture of soft fleece and leather gillets. Long coats too.
They can keep the high heals though- just a small platform or wedge for me and my personal hate is pointy toed shoes or boots so the hunt is on!

The too long jumper doesn’t pair well with flairs and wide trousers though so softer skinnier knits with nice necklines and shirring wasted tops and lots of long sleeves.
It’s just a case of trying them on. Return if you don’t love them

Has anyone used an online company Lintico . I have recently ordered from them - my order is 5 days late and supposed to be be with Yodel but cannot get any response from either of them.

Have always bought in charity shops.

Oxfam, Dogs Trust, Rabbit and Cat Rescue, Age UK to name but a few.

I think half of my wardrobe has come from charity shops. I don’t buy much now, but like finding one offs in my favourite cancer charity shop and it’s pleases me that my money helps a worthy cause at the same time. I am often complimented on my dress style.
Currently just back from t’ai chi. Am wearing an Asda fleece jacket, M&S charity shop trousers and a 15 year old M&S tee shirt.
I do have a couple of seasalt dresses and like Next.
The rest are mainly from Asda George, or Sainsbury TUI when I do the shopping. Sometimes because they do different lengths, and I am short, M&S. Preferably when they have a sale. I dint spend a lot on myself but happy with what I have.

M&S for trousers but I like a tunic top and jumpers find them on line. I like Box2 tops and saloos for tunics. Think there’s a gap in the market for us over 60.

I'm 77, size 10/12. T-shirts and jeans from M&S. The occasional dress from Boden or Seasalt. White Stuff, Celtic & Co, Joules for tops, jumpers, etc. It annoys me that tops are often very short - I really don't want to show my flabby middle to the world. Going to France in May, so looking forward to a different choice.

Love TKMaxx - unfortunately it’s a good half hour away and they have made the roundabout sooooo complicated. I can never find my exit. The last time I went, I almost had a panic attack !

Toast ( in the sale) Seasalt, M&S. Boden now too colourful for me.
