Replacing high street clothing stores with on-line retailers.

There is an article in todays Telegraph magazine about the demise of large high street clothing retailers like Top Shop (not that I shopped there anyway) and how some of the big brands are being bought up to trade solely on line or to be subsumed into other brands.

I was wondering if you have changed to on-line brands and what they were. I have changed where I usually buy from e.g. I used to buy a lot from White Stuff but as they have been closing their high street shops and their quality has dipped I have migrated to Mint Velvet and Boden. Can anyone recommend any others to try please?

You might like Mistral if you like White Stuff . Thought and Nomads for ethical, fair trade items .

I bought a really nice Joe Brown's dress on line last summer but the majority of my shopping has been charity shops or TK Maxx. I buy second hand clothes from Ebay - usually ones that I've seen and probably tried on in the past, but decided they were too expensive new.

I have spent many hours wandering around Zara, two of my granddaughters are eleven, and I can come out with big bags of clothes, without having spent too much.
Some of their stuff is a little weird, but it’s very good value.
