Go to charity shops?

Most people can pick up something.
Though prices have gone up a bit, sometimes more, in some areas.

Do NOT be tempted by the likes of Shein and the many other clothes sellers on the internet.
Not infrequently the actual item bears no resemblance to the pic, it takes weeks to get here (from China) and refunds and exchanges are impossible as the companies either don’t reply or say it would cost as much the purchase price to send it back.
Have you looked at eBay or Vinted? There are often new items, with or without tags and some brands sell off their last years or remaindered items for a fraction of the original price.

Am I alone? If so please help! I’m in a clothes rut! Most of my life I’ve had a work clothes, jeans and occasions wardrobe. Since I stopped working and rarely have social occasions I’ve ended up in jeans or on gym days I slob around in leggings the rest of the day. It’s comfy but so boring. But my budget for clothes is very small. In the past I’ve bought from Primark, Tu, and occasionally sales at an outlet mall in Portsmouth. I now find nearly everything is made from polyester and I refuse to wear that. For several reasons. I prefer cotton or a mix but not 100% polyester.
I’d like some clothes that are casual, comfy but stylish. I love some of the clothes advertised on Schein but I wouldn’t buy them partly because of the polyester and partly because the materials aren’t regulated so you have no idea what’s next to your skin.
So… any suggestions please?
