Clothes shopping?

Losan

I struggle to find clothes I like for work (senior, professional, female)

Of course, I hate shopping in a shopping centre. Online shopping is much better but it's still difficult. The filters are about colours and patterns - where I'll have at least some preferences, nothing too bright...  What I'm really looking for is something comfortable - so would love to be able to filter by material as well. Suits just don't work for me and as a woman the dress code is more flexible than suit and tie thankfully)

I've researched personal shoppers online. I don't want to go round the shops with one. And online services tend to be limited to a small number of couture brands. Or are very focused on personal style and image. Rather than something that looks fine while being comfortable and practical. 

At the moment I cope by spending time looking through online shops and infrequently finding something I like. But I'm time poor.

That leads to three questions:

- Does any else struggle with this?

- Does anyone know of a good online personal shopping service that might work?

- Would anyone be interested in doing the research for me for a modest fee?!

  • I can only wear cotton so that limits things a bit for me. What tends to happen is that find a brand I like and then end up being quite loyal to that brand once I know it suits me. Right now it’s a company called ‘Naked Generation’. Comfort is my absolute priority when it comes to clothing. In the last 2 or 3 years I’ve also made a conscious effort to go for quality over quantity. I don’t by clothing very often and therefore even if the few items I do buy are quite expensive it’s cheaper overall.
