on line shopping for the over 60's trendy but suitable

Very happy with anything I've got from Sahara, Seasalt, Gudrun Sjogen , the last very good for me as I live in the EU and don't have to pay taxes or wait ages for delivery Also like Poetry for plain, wear-for -ever linens. I used to be obsessed with Toast, and bought a lot from them, but they seem to have lost that" oooh I must have that" factor. And now very expensive. Lately I've been disappointed rather than thrilled with my purchases from them. Anyone else agree ? Same goes for Boden, and there's too much polyester.Still great for swimwear though.

I am another Joe Browns lover and also Seasalt. I am an average size but due to a condition called lipodoema, l am smaller at all top than bottom and my hips are particularly affected so I need fairly fitted or skimming designs - no loose, floaty numbers for me because I will drown in them and any semblance of figure would be lost altogether. I like Fat Face and Sainsbury’s TU too. M and S are fine for underwear but seem to have lost their way in other clothing. I think they have been trying to court a younger market that does not usually shop there while forgetting their core 40+ customers. The problem l had trying to buy a basic pink summer cardigan! I could not afford to buy many clothes from the brands I mostly like but eBay is brilliant if you know your size as you can buy new with or without tags or nearly new at a fraction of the price you would normally pay.

George Asda and other supermarkets like Morrisons Nutmeg & Sainsburys Tu (I think someone else mentioned that one) They also sell Tu clothing at Argos.

NEXT they have loads off brands on their website, they even sell Tesco's F&F clothing.

Matalan, Peacocks, New Look

All the above are online too.

Online ... Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, Zalando.

I like Gudron S and White Stuff. John Lewis are excellent. I often buy shoes from Hotter. Their size 4 fits me perfectly.

I’m a larger lady and I buy from
Box2
Ulla Popken
Sea salt
100 hundred stars
Froxx

Unfortunately there’s not many places that cater for us larger ladies anymore so we might end up walking around in our birthday suits if they keep closing our stores down!

A company called Kettlewell has filled my wardrobe in the past few years. Bright colours, not heavily patterned. Pack wonderfully

Uniqlo are the best for basics- T-shirt’s, jeans, sweatshirts , linen shirts and dresses. Reasonable prices and good quality and reductions. Cos good in the sale.

Damart are surprisingly good - inexpensive - I even have their shoes! All colours and styles - try them!

My favourite is Walkers.Style. Rather expensive but wonderfully quirky and they have good discounts in their sales plus everything I've bought from them has been an absolute 'keeper'. I can eventually justify the initial eye-watering outlay by knowing the cost-per-wear price is really good.

For me Monsoon, Boden, Hush and occasionally Baukjen (expensive, but superb quality, so the garments will outlive me).

Bon marché and EWM both online

I've bought a lot from MandCo. Lots of choice , reasonable quality and prices. Two friends also use them I lot.

Nomads is nice stuff and they have a sale on at the moment.

No one's mentioned Desigual. A particular style so not to everyone's taste and not always mine. I started buying from them during lockdown and have some lovely unusual things all bought in sales. XL usually fits me perfectly- I'm normally 14/16! UPS collect returns and refunds arrive promptly.

I like Gudrun Sjodens too but having bought a few items over the years I do think they’re very overpriced. Very basic clothes, hardly ever lined but the colours and patterns are lovely. I think she charges Swedish prices!
Having said that they do last.

Didn’t Bon Marché go into liquidation?
Some people failing in their duty??

I have used Kaleidoscope for many, many years and still do. But I do occasionally shop in Bonmarche they have some lovely summer dresses.

I buy a lot from Hush and I agree that some of their clothing is sub par. I’ve just returned some horrendous slippery culottes
Zara are good but their website is “challenging”

...and I love Bon Marche! Very reasonably priced, lovely varied styles and excellent customer service. They do lots of bright patterns and designs which I love, and I notice now they stock other brands as well as their own. Excellent value - it's all in the name...

I disagree regarding Hush, I’ve had some lovely things, very good quality.

Joe Browns will make you look older.

Hush is over rated and over priced. I’ve had some awful quality tops from there, the fabric is so cheap.

Seasalt and Joules have ‘outlet’ shops on EBay - worth a look.

Seasalt is a particular favourite of mine.
I love Kaftans especially in the hot weather we have been having. Tutunbankem (spelling might be slightly off ) are very good especially when they have a sale. They never go out of fashion. I have four or five of them..
Lands end for stretchy trousers and good quality pima cotton V neck T shirts for exercise classes, gardening shopping.
This thread is a brilliant idea. I wish we could have a permanent one dedicated to this subject. When I get time I am going to explore all of the names that I am not familiar with.

House of Bruar, have lots of different ranges, sale on at present. I like Bon Marche for everyday t shirts and like some of the more unusual Masai clothes.

I buy pre loved cotton and linen clothes from ebay. All good brands at a fraction of the cost.
