Hi
I think i'm getting old and unfashionable. I'm 30, i used to shop in topshop, burtons and next, yet these days i can rarely find anything in these places i like.
I hate the fashion clothing fits, skinny jumpers, jumpers which are thinner than what i'd expect from a summer t-shirt, jeans that begin half way down your arse, have flared legs or have so many silly bits on them that they are impossible to iron, work trousers with small pockets and which are very tight around the crotch area and shoes with soles the thickness of a sheet of paper and no grips.
Where should i be shopping though, i can't seem to find any decent, comfortable suitable clothing these days.

I do like some fashion clothing stores, but they are getting less and less.
To be honest, im in the middle at the moment. Im too old for Top Shop at the grand old age of 36, but im too young for Principles.
Personally I have never rated M&S. I like their knickers and a few accessories .... but i never really liked their clothing.
As for shoes. The best workshoes i've found were Rockport ones from Amazon. They make me laugh when i look at the shoe offerings in Next etc these days ........... seriously, what is with the practically no sole and zero grips? ........ how do people manage to not slip in these? ....... and they must wear through them simply walking from the car to the front door !!!
Carhartt do nice casual pants
A.P.C if you wanted to go bit more expensive
I havent heard of any of them. Now i KNOW i'm getting old
You're right.
A couple of months ago I saw a couple of beautiful Schott jackets in my local charity shop, for a tenner each. They were in excellent condition and probably would have cost around £150-£200 each new.
They also regularly have brand new unworn shirts from T.M.Lewin shirtmakers, several of the same colour etc.
I buy nearly all my kids clothes in there too and I am forever being stopped and told how smart they always look.
Agree with all saints for 'going out' shirts and also Massimo Dutti does really classic but not old fashioned stuff if you have a nearby branch.
Try George at Asda.
