I’m 65 and use the high street for clothes shopping and don’t have a problem finding clothes . M & S has got much better the last few years . Order online and return if necessary. Next is good and Crew Company . Boden also has lovely dresses .

Ohh ladies you are so lucky to be able to wear dresses, I'm 5ft tall but a bit busomy & hippy. If I wear a dress It actually wears me! I sorry I'm no help at all.

Why not just go and walk round your local M&S and see what they offer, or browse different sites online.

Not knowing someone's precise taste in clothes, it is very difficult, to know what to recommend. What you consider young ladies clothes, I, at 81, may be wearing, considering them just what i wanted,

Personally, like others, I think age is irrelevant when shopping for clothes. My most recent buy was a sundress bought in a supermarket in France and a dress from Culture Vulture.

Bought a lovely loose dress from Gudrun Sjoden a few weeks ago. Ideal with a long sleeved T-shirt for winter. Two of her models are quite old and look fab in her dresses

You are only 64 littlenananj. Buy and wear what you like, I do and I am a lot older than you. Happy shopping.

Seasalt, Damart, Cotton Traders, JD Williams. Bon Marche,
Have a look at local boutiques, they usually have some nice different clothes to the usual stuff you see around in larger stores. Ask friends whose fashion taste is similar to yours where they shop.

Hi, I'm looking to update my winter wardrobe but I don't know where to start! In the winter months I usually opt for dresses, tights and boots but my old faithfuls have seen better days sad I'm 64 and I feel like the high street only caters to young ladies or ladies in later life, I want to feel great in what I wear. If anyone could share any recommendations for where to buy comfortable and casual but stylish dresses, it would be much appreciated
