With non-essential retailers still months away from opening, supermarkets have become a go-to for shoppers looking to refresh their wardrobes.
And Sainsbury's and Tesco have risen to the occasion and impressed customers with their selection of clothing and accessories which look just like pieces from high end brands.
Sainsbury's Tu Clothing has a £20 blue boyfriend shirt nearly identical to one for £306 by Altuzarra, and a £20 suede skirt similar to one by designer Alexa Chung for £395.
Are you having a fucking laugh? Who wears this shit?

They are horrible. I sometimes walk round M&S and wonder who the heck they are designing for. Apart from the underwear, a lot of their stuff is rubbish too.

You're dead right there. It's so shapeless and the designs are so busy and vile. I remember when Next sold the most exquisite tea dresses... I used to buy their clothes all the time in 80s. And the Gothic coat dresses from Wallis were beautiful. I still have a black cashmere Victorian dress coat that I bought in Wallis around 1989. It's mint condition because it's such a lovely coat and I've hardly worn it for fear of ruining it. I wear it when I go somewhere special in winter. Which has not been anywhere for the past 12 fucking months
I like Gabrielle Parker designs. Her little gypsy dresses are so cute.

Next was good but they went downhill. I've bought a few bits from Sainsbury's though. Those leather look leggings are horrible, so's the other stuff, yuk. 😯

I loved Wallis, their materials were so classy, , then around 20 years ago they started selling crap, much like lots of other highstreet shops.
I also loved Richards for dresses, my cousin worked in the one on Market Street and I got some great bargains.
Now if I am going anywhere I can dress up (pre lockdown) I wear clothes I have collected over the years. They dont date, and they are nicer than the stuff you can buy nowadays.

Richards... I'd forgotten about them. They were slightly more conservative. Burtons went for a burton too.

It was in Piccadilly Manchester, not London.
I bought the dress I was married in from there, they sold trendy stuff as well as dressy clothes.
It closed in 1983....hardly before your time....both of you.

Mags thanxs for asking how I was can't find the post now.
I'm OK apart so far from strange feelings right hand side of my face which is what led to the tumour findings.
I didn't just get the tumours.
The doc said for me to now just start getting these sensations about a year now means the tumours must have been there a number of years but as they get bigger they will start to affect me more in various ways.
They are slow growing.
Where they are I won't be affected cognitively.
The threat is hearing and eyesight but that should be a few years down the line.
So I'm not lying on my sick bed or deathbed just yet am still driving when allowed out and can't wait to get to see family in Manchester Liverpool Anglesey some of which I haven't seen for over a year now.
I reckon I'll outrun the worse part of this by dying before they get me after all I'm 68 now so I won't be around beyond ten years anyway.
