Clothes!

Flisters who live in the UK (or anywhere, really), what are your favorite online sites for clothes?

The shops in my town are rubbish and shopping makes me ill.

I've tried amazon, but nothing really catches my eye. Ebay? I'm really looking for standard stuff, nice (ish) trousers, tops, cardigans, etc.

Help?

In the meantime, I'm really, really cold and I think I've actually got chills. I'd really prefer NOT to be sick.

It depends on your size, really - as I am both ridiculously tall and, erm, well, let's say curvy, I find that Long Tall Sally and SimplyBe are my go-to sites. But as I seem to remember you being normal-sized, have you tried Next, Top Shop, Dorothy Perkins, H&M, Marks and Spencers or The Gap? (Funny story, I went into a branch in Cardiff specifically so I could call [livejournal.com profile] searingidolatry and say "Help, help, I've fallen into The Gap and I can't get out!" Luckily, she found it more amusing than the security guard did.)

Have you considered getting one of the catalogues, like Littlewoods or something like that? Asda and Tesco can also have some nice things in their clothing sections.

*snickers* I've always wanted to say that. And I do actually like the Gap. They have really realistic petite sizes. We've got an M&S in town and I've been kinda disappointed in their quality, but I might try H&M and Next.

What the heck is up with the whole skinny trousers thing? Those things are made by the DEVIL. I always look like a homeless Oompa-Loompa.

Asos.com -they deliver in Ireland but I think they're a British site? They have everything there!

Dresses: eshakti.com = CUSTOM SIZING.

They don't do international delivery! :( They've got some gorgeous things though. I might order some to be sent my mom's house for picking up when I visit her at Christmas...

That is... so weird. Especially because they're based internationally. O.o

(Seriously tho, I have been mugging that site for months. Classic cuts and styles and CUSTOM SIZING. For under $10.)

I really like Banana Republic for classic work styling, and J Crew for more causal stuff. If you get your email on their mailing lists, they'll regularly (every other day lately) send you 30% or 40% off coupons for use online or in-store. I don't buy their clothing every season ('cause sometimes it's priced ridiculously, at least here in the States), but I get always good ideas from looking through their goods, at least. Although I'm really adoring their clothes for fall this year. Same story with Ann Taylor & LOFT, although I've only shopped at their stores, haven't ordered online. H&M is great for accessories, but it can be difficult to tell what the quality is like if you can't see it in person. Oh, and UNIQLO is amazing for everything - it's like a higher quality H&M, but with an awesome slight Japanese aesthetic.
