More important is how they cater to my STYLE sensibilities, and do their clothes fit a small frame. &nbsp;So: JCrew.com, Outnet, Pret-a-porter, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Maje.com. Uniqlo.com.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites/page/2#post-1505932 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 20:58:24 +0000 tulle 1505932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in my 60s, and tend to avoid stores skewed toward "older" women because they tend to be too big in the chest and shoulders for me, and often too "sportswear" for my preference.&nbsp; I do shop on most of the&nbsp; sites mentioned so far, and now that I spend most of my time in the country and have few retail opportunities, I also check DSW for shoes, and look for bargains on designer clothes at Gilt, Outnet, Yoox, and Nordstrom's Haute Look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites/page/2#post-1505930 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 20:55:10 +0000 retailgirl 1505930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another perspective on Talbots...I work with a woman, my age, ( over 50!), who has great style and I asked her if she ever shopped at talbots. She said no but started to investigate it and is now a huge fan! Her style is a basic pant and top, a column of color, with a statement jacket, or a more basic jacket with a statement necklace. She also favors great looking sweaters and cardigans. My style is more classic and preppy and we've actually bought some of the same pieces, but we style them differently. So Talbots is what you make of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites/page/2#post-1505927 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 20:40:59 +0000 Wendi1984 1505927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Online?

That being said I also shop at Banana Republic (on-line, retail, and factory outlet stores).&nbsp; I find that Old Navy is great for basics, and love Lucky for their Sienna Cigarette Jeans (for my curvy figure/athletic legs.) Marshalls is great for deep discount fashion pieces but I truly think that Talbot's has very high quality basics that can we incorporated into most wardrobes regardless of age.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites/page/2#post-1386076 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 17:05:30 +0000 Deb 1386076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I order from the USA sometimes and like Net-a-Porter, Scoop NYC and Shopbop generally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites/page/2#post-1386027 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 15:21:10 +0000 Anonymous 1386027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No matter where I shop, I have to hunt through a lot of frump to find what I want that's in my size. I've had good luck this year at Amazon, Nordstrom, Macy's, 6pm, Onlineshoes, and Stein Mart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites/page/2#post-1385831 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 03:08:45 +0000 eds 1385831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny the opinions on Talbots...I do think the catalogs sort of promote the frump for some reason. I've gotten so many high quality pieces from them, though, and I feel like I do a good job of wearing them in a nonfrumpy way. I've picked up some great pieces at Chicos, although for the most part, I don't feel like that store is "me". I agree that there is no reason to limit shopping to stores that cater to a particular age group. We've just moved from an area with very limited shopping to one with loads of great shopping, including Nordstrom...what fun it has been exploring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites/page/2#post-1385810 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 02:01:47 +0000 Elizabeth P 1385810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's also lord &amp; Taylor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites#post-1385802 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 01:47:13 +0000 rosinaricci 1385802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always like to buy dresses from dressspace.com .I love all the dresses from this store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites#post-1384873 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 13:59:43 +0000 retailgirl 1384873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm over fifty and I like talbots, ( surprise). My credit card says I've been a customer since 1982. But I like to think I choose the unfrumpy pieces and put them together in an unfrumpy way! Anyway, it's a good resource for basics and tall length pants, for me. Plus, I like some of their jackets. But I would never shop Chicos or Coldwater Creek. And Coldwater Creek may have gone out but it's going to be reincarnated as a catalog only operation.</p> <p>I also shop Brooks Brothers, but mainly in the stores. Their website doesn't do their beautiful clothes justice.</p> <p>But my favorite is Nordstrom...great selection, free shipping both ways and the same wonderful service that you get in the stores. </p> <p>Also, I have a Nordstrom bank Visa, (love those rewards points) and there is no comparison when it comes to the service you get compared to other credit card companies. You can talk to real live people! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites#post-1328641 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 00:00:58 +0000 citygirldc 1328641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My top 5:</p> <p>Nordstrom<br /> Anthropologie<br /> Ann Taylor<br /> Banana republic<br /> Ebay </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites#post-1328639 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 23:57:42 +0000 bj1111 1328639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>barneys, good sales. &nbsp;free shipping both ways </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites#post-1327943 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 01:40:47 +0000 Truecolors 1327943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, this is turning into a really good list, so let's specify whether or not these sites offer free shipping and returns.</p> <p>So far, for free shipping both ways I've got:<br />Nordstrom<br />Zappos<br />Shopbop (within 15 day return)<br />Asos (orders over $25 free)<br />Zara (free returns; free pickup at store locations)<br />6pm (free standard shipping; pay for returns)<br />Chicos (free shipping and returns???)<br />Macys (orders over $99 free; free returns U.S. only)<br />Athleta (orders over $50 free; free returns)</p> <p>Flat rate shipping:<br />J Crew ($5 flat rate for shipping; returns free to store; pay for shipping returns)</p> <p>Fee for shipping:<br />Jjill.com</p> <p>What other sites should we include in this list?

And if your a member of amazon prime, you can use it on the site.<br /> I would caution that some of the sites you've listed don't offer free returns, so be sure to check before placing your order. And if your ok with it, then I'd add boden to the list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites#post-1327729 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 17:40:37 +0000 Truecolors 1327729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, thanks for the additions. I, too, am over 40, and I don't dress conservatively by any means. I still have the same body shape as when I was in my 20's (better eating habits? more regular workouts?) In any case, I still don't like to wear really short dresses or babydoll tops as I feel silly in them. I strive for a more sophisticated, chic, but still fun, signature style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites#post-1327669 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 15:55:25 +0000 Mo 1327669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Revolve <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.revolveclothing.com/">http://www.revolveclothing.com/</a>&nbsp;for a hipper, trendier look. &nbsp;It's better quality than H&amp;M or Zara but along those lines, style wise. &nbsp;Asos is good, too. &nbsp;I'm 44 but don't like a lot of things targeted for over 40. &nbsp;I am not a conservative dresser simply because I fall into a certain age demographic &nbsp;6pm is good, too, for deals.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites#post-1327658 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 15:32:37 +0000 Truecolors 1327658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm getting a GREAT list of online (and brick and mortar) shopping destinations from all of you, and a lot of consensus. Shopping by age, per se, is limiting, so most of you choose your shopping destinations because they cater to either a) your body type, b) your style preferences, c) business-appropriate garments, or d) price, return policy and customer service. Did I miss anything?</p> <p>Here's the list I've compiled from you so far:</p> <p>Norstrom<br />Net-a-Porter<br />Zara<br />Chicos<br />Talbots<br />Ann Taylor<br />J.

While I subscribe to the idea of leaving no retail stone unturned, I generally have to be pretty desperate to go into some stores! The music and cologne blasting out of Aeropostale and Abercrombie are enough to keep me out forever.</p> <p>Nordstrom is popular for a reason, and that is primarily customer service and, generally speaking, quality merchandise. Likewise with Zappos, who will ship for free and return for free like Nordies (and Zappos carries far more than shoes now). I like White House Black Market and&nbsp;Saks Fifth Ave (and Saks Off Fifth, just like Nordstrom Rack). Larger department stores are convenient because they tend to sell a good variety of formal wear, casual, lingerie, gear and even housewears, so it is one-stop shopping on successful days.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-favorite-online-shopping-sites#post-1326597 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 23:57:14 +0000 greycat6 1326597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm over 40&nbsp; as well and shop all of the sights above.&nbsp; I also frequent Shop Style, which is a shopping&nbsp;aggregation site.
