I really rate the high street for jeans, especially H&M, Zara (surprisingly) and (keeping it OT) Topshop. I’ve been a slave to designer denim in the past but I don’t think there’s any need to buy expensive denim these days as the high street does it so well. I think the key is to try a multitude of cuts and sizes until you find what works for you.

I’m too small and big arsed for Zara and H&M, nothing in Zara has ever fitted apart from shoes (they seem to cut for wide flat builds past size 10 which is not me). H&M occasionally turn up good jeans for my small but long legged teenager though. I have a really good pair from M&S but I think they were a random misshape as I’ve not felt anything nice enough to try on since! They were all thin and cardboardy 
Oh FFS 
These companies are doing SO badly it’s scary

im not even sure why boohoo is running to be honest when its exactly the same as plt
It’s a really bad name too? Just makes me sad
AllSaints have this "too many returns" policy, the cheek of it when their quality control is getting worse.
I made a series of orders and returns last summer where every single item had a quality issue -- dresses arrived stinking of perfume or stained, some had holes in them, and a coat arrived covered in pet hair. I emailed them with a formal complaint so that if my returns set off any alarms they know in advance what the issue is. I think it was around 5 orders all placed and returned over the period of 1 month.
Style-wise AllSaints is my go-to. Shoes and leathers are still great. Knitwear is awful -- I sold all my cashmere jumpers from them because the pilling was insane. Now, I look at the item in store before ordering online. There's a nice cardigan in the shop now (white with hearts) but the ones they had in store had already started pilling! Their prices are pretty absurd at this point. There's a polyester made-in-China blazer they were selling for around £300 & is now on sale and still fully stocked. Madness.
love this channel and he's done one on Topshop. very interesting
Can anyone tell me why NeverFullyDressed have such peak notions about their clothing?
They charge like 120€ for a shirt? Or 185€ for a dress?
wtf? They look like ASOS or Zara quality?
I do love the dark haired girl styling their socials
she would see me clothes
love her style
more than the models 🫢 wonder does she have an insta?

Hello peops. I need some clothes advice- what can I wear on my bottom half that isn’t skinny jeans? I have wide hips and a big butt but skinny legs.
Maybe take inspiration from the Kardashians? I’m serious.
Funnily enough I did think that, but they live in heels etc which doesn’t suit my life.Maybe take inspiration from the Kardashians? I’m serious.
Mollys were a great Jean! Good bit of stretch they were my go to Jean for a good 5-8 years of my life or more?
Outfit ideas:
Midi shirtdress + knee boots
Flared skirt + jumper + knee boots
Chemise midi dress + jumper on top + ankle boots
Eee! I found a Topshop jacket that I used to own in the noughties on Vinted and it's just arrived, in fantastic condition and beautiful. It maybe wasn't worn much by the seller, but is in excellent condition for being from that long ago, it speaks to the higher quality that they used to have. I'm so happy to have found it! Takes me right back 
I wish I'd kept more of my clothes from back then, everything was so much nicer than these days. I hardly like anything that's out now.

The high street is so boring now. We didn't know how lucky we were in the noughties. Better choice and quality on the high street. I've no interest in PYT, boohoo and that crapEee!

It's a shame that Boohoo is masquerading as Debenhmas now.
Social media has really enabled fast fashion and shite like PYT and Boohoo. Wear an outfit once on a night out post it on Instagram. Outfit is never worn again.
A day out shopping and lunching on the high street used to be a pleasure for me, no more. There is so little quality left.
