Do you buy a range of clothes, whatever takes your fancy, or are you like me of late, I keep buying different versions of clothing I already have. More jeans, more 7/8th trousers, more shirts, more t shirts. My purchases are now very predictable. Once upon a time I had an eclectic range of clothes. not any more. What about you?

I tend to use the same very few online retailers, and buy much the same things.

I’m going to need new summer trousers soon (last lot pretty much worn out) and am already hoping that it won’t yet again be largely a selection of mostly very-over-wide leg, barrel leg, crops and ankle- grazers, non of which I want!
🤞someone will be offering good quality cotton/linen/a mix, in a slightly wide, straight, ankle length style.

I recently came across ROMAN and it's just right for me ie not too expensive and fits well. Really pleased

I think the point is that the older you get the more you realise what styles suit you. My clothes now tend to be jeans for winter and linen trousers for summer. I have a couple of long skirts for summer and half a dozen long dresses for summer. Jumpers or tunic style tops for the winter, and T shirts and vest tops in the summer. I have a it of M&S, although I don't like much of their stuff at the moment. Lots of Joe Brown, either bought in the sales or on eBay. And my favourite at the moment is a Whitestuff dress which was £6 at a carboot sale!

This thread is over 10 years old and, as can be seen above, revived by a scammer.
