'Old Lady shops'

I don’t feel any shops are “off limits”, if I see something I really like and the price is right (& it’s in my size), I will buy it, irrespective of which shop it is.

That's what I'm doing now , mainly because a lot of shops all have the same stuff !

Was it Damart? A leaflet from them came today and I just put it straight in the bin on the basis that it's an old lady brand......and i'm definitely not an old lady!!

Ha ha kittylester , now that would be telling (yes) ! This is EXACTLY what I meant !

I don't have any big shopping centres near to where I live which is why I love to stay with my daughter and go shopping. I'm 77 and have bought clothes from Mango, Zara, and Monki (just to name a few) when I've been with her. If it fits, looks good and makes me feel great then I'll buy it!

I buy my elastic-waisted jeans from Edinburgh Woollen Mill, which my children definitely class as being for older people. If they have to accompany me, they wander off to look at the whisky selection side of the shop!

Good plan foxie48 !

There are quite a few I see as too old for me so avoid.
Bonmarche, Hotter (I don’t like those grown on soles, and find the shoes uncomfortable), Chums (my 95 year old dad buys his trousers from there), Roman, Edinburgh Woollen Mill. I’m not a flowery patterns person, and I don’t like synthetic fibres, I have an aversion to clothes that combine the two.

I have recently discovered the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn. (I know you won’t tell anyone, but they are pull up ones from Cotton Traders 🫣👵🏻 )

I wear clothes and shoes from all different places. Depending on what I’m doing or where I’m going I dress accordingly. I don’t sneer at shops like Hotter or Bonmarche as they provide some nice clothes at reasonable prices. Whenever I pass our local ones they are full with happy shoppers. You have to choose carefully but that’s no different in any shop. I also like Seasalt, local boutiques, vintage, and most importantly I dress to suit me and my body shape. Nobody has ever said I look ‘old lady’ and with daughters working in fashion I’d soon know!
