I have bought both tops and trousers this summer without any problem. I did however want a skirt/dress and that was more difficult to find.

There is nothing in the shops at all,this year I have not replaced anything as the styles have been dire to say the least.

I was surprised when looking for school uniform cardies that I found a couple of tops and a swimsuit that actually fitted me in Sainsburys clothes dept. Other than that I agree and now we have Winter clothes everywhere it seems Summer clothes are no longer available anyway.

Stansgran, you're right - that just about sums up today's latest attempt to find something. However, I've been trying all summer without success sad

I'm surprised that you can find ANY summer clothes at all. I wanted something to freshen me up for late summer and it was either tired returns in the sales section or fur trimmed.

Is anyone else struggling to find basic everyday clothes that they like this year?

In particular, I haven't been able to find any summer tops that I like or that suit me. They nearly all have round necks this year, and round necks just don't suit me. I haven't bought one single top, though it's not for lack of trying!

I also find that shorts are either too short (mutton dressed as lamb) or too long (old women's shorts), and the same applies to summer skirts.

Is it just me?
