Where Do You Buy Clothes?

Where do you buy most of your clothes?
The last couple of years I've started looking in charity shops more and I'm on the lookout for a new coat there.
I mainly shop at Asad, Matalan and Primark. Shoes from new look as they do a wide fit and trainers online, usually sketchers. Fit flops, my special treat are from John Lewis. I also buy loose harem jumpsuits from eBay, they are very versatile and good value.
I look in charity shops but can never find anything. I also look on fb marketplace but again can never find anything for me.
My go to places for clothes are Asda and Tesco. I also go to Matalan, Primark and New Look. I don't buy clothes often, usually during the sales when I actually need something.
MrsCraig That's the thing with charity shops, you need to be looking in different ones quite often sometimes
SamGoodship I go in all the time. Can never find anything for me or my son. There is one where I can occasionally find toys for my son but I find the ones near us lack items for children.
MrsCraig Have you ever tried looking on vinted.co.uk/ ? You have to pay for shipping and 'Buyer protection' on top of the sellers' price so you'd need to price compare but plenty of people sell used (sometimes new/unwanted) clothes and other items on there. I hardly need to buy things, but there seems to be a lot of decent quality items and I think there can be more variety than fb marketplace - so you might be able to find something.
I don't think you need the app, just an account to buy something.
My sister has been using it for the past yr or 2 - mostly selling kids clothes, but she came across a decent pair of boots for herself and a pair of Next trainers for my niece once.
Oh, I think you can do a bit of haggling - like ebay, giving 'offers' as well and see if you can buy something a little cheaper.
hky in terms of buying, items were overpriced, postage was extortionate and items were not as described.
In terms of selling, people will make ridiculously low offers, like 75% off what you are asking (happened to me and a friend on a regular basis) and will ask you to pay the postage too!
Fb marketplace is brilliant where I live. Never had any issues on there.
I look in charity shops, Asda, Sainsburys, Tescos, Peacocks (don’t have Primark), Matalan. I did buy a proper winter coat online though from Cotton Traders but only because there was a less than half price deal at the time.
Used to trail around all the shops in town, m&s etam Richards new look etc etc nowadays mostly Asdas George and Tu at Sainsbury's wiyh a few bargains from Lands End
I love a bargain so its always a charity shop for me unless I'm buying underwear or bedding then it has to be new...
Vinted is my go to at the moment - I sell some of my old items I no longer need, then look for a great deal from someone else, so I often spend what I've made if I don't withdraw it. (I don't usually sell clothes, often just odd bits and pieces that are allowed, I wear my clothes until they fall apart 
)
If they have multiple things I'd like, then it saves on postage, so I order from that one person.
I got a great bundle of things for my niece a few months ago. 6 clothing items, 2 plush toys and 4 books.
3 of the books and 1 of the plushes were brand new, worth over £30 just for those 4 items alone. The clothing items didn't look like they had been worn but didn't have the tags. Got everything including postage for just over £10.
I like Peacocks,George at Asda,Tu at Sainsburys,Florence & Fred at Tesco,Apricot ,New Look,Dorothy Perkins & Next...
Discovered Roman & have bought a few dresses, Jackets & Trousers,NEVER been disappointed, Roman send Discount Codes regularly of 15% ,20% or even more!
Adidas is my go to clothes shop, I only order online, I've had some bits from Amazon when I see a decent deal on here
I will buy from anywhere really (within reason) I’ll have a look in charity shops but I do find the men’s selection in most of them lacking, compared to the women’s
I mainly buy from Sainbsury’s and M&S only when I see clothes that I like and they are on sale lol 
I keep wearing the same clothes a lot!! 
Charity shops and vinted. Got a beautiful wool and cashmere coat with faux fur collar and sleeve cuffs for £7 on vinted and an ankle length next 100% wool coat in a charity shop for s tenner. Its amazing the quality you can get for a great price when you shop 2nd hand.
Mainly from Boden, Phase Eight and M&S. I do think Boden are getting a bit pricey so I’ll most probably stick with M&S.
I love asda and primark clothes you can get some real bargains asda had a sale on and got top for £2
