Looking for stylish clothes that fit (and don’t break the bank either)? We hear lots of people moan that they trawl the malls and go home empty-handed because the sizings aren’t quite right, so we asked around our readers to come up with suggestions to save your feet. Take this list with you and you’re guaranteed to find something on your very first excursion to the shops.
Marks & Spencer scored for underwear and the basics, while Esprit, Zara, Wallis, Gap, Oasis, Bysi, and Dorothy Perkins all got a mention as high street brands that cater to those who can’t quite find the right fit for their bodies. Here are some more:
