M&S sale has started

Bacman

I used to be able to buy shirts and trousers pretty much without trying them on at M&S, however since they changed their sizing a few years back the shirts are baggy at the top and tight in the midrift and the sleeves are too small. If you're an XXL size you don't have dainty arms! Trousers are too tight on the bum too now. I'm still using M&S clothes I bought 20 years ago; and Ciro Cittero from 25 years ago; still fit me nicely.


Underwear - also used to be M&S, now I use Asda or TU (Sainsburys) - they are about 1/3 the price and also better quality - M&S ones the elastic seems to fail quickly.


M&S sizes have gone useless, quality of clothing decreased and they are expensive - they are destined to fail. Their food, which they rely on, is "ok but expensive", nothing great. They have lost their way...

Couldn't agree more - much the same here, and I've gone over recent years from buying absolutely all clothing at M&S to absolutely none.

Grossly overpriced, boring and indifferent quality.

The current '50 shades of beige' ad campaign says it all - it may be ironic, but it's a pretty accurate summary of what's gone wrong with their women's clothing range over recent years. My wife just finds their clothing now so totally dull and boring.
