Stores we cover

The deepest catalog of the group, and the hardest to search. Strong for maxi dresses with real sleeves, occasion wear, and modest knits from house brands.

Best quality per dollar in the mid range. Excellent for wide-leg trousers, longline blazers, and pieces that hold their shape.

Where the everyday basics live. Consistently good for long-sleeve midi and maxi dresses under $40, and layering pieces.

The layering backbone. Opaque fabrics, generous cuts, and long-sleeve basics that work under almost anything.

British, print-led, and unusually strong on shirt dresses with real sleeves. Also where a lot of the midi and maxi skirts come from.

Plain, heavy, opaque fabrics and a wide-leg trouser range that runs deep. Short on prints, long on things that layer.

Mid-range prices on natural fibres — linen trousers, cotton maxi skirts, and cashmere knits with high necks.

Workwear that happens to cover: full-length trousers, midi shirt dresses, and cardigans meant for an office.

Loft's more formal sister. Tailored full-length trousers and mock-neck knits, with a good petite and plus range.

Casual and fabric-first. Reliable for relaxed knits, overshirts, and wide-leg trousers in heavier cottons.

Soft, everyday knitwear. Useful for long-sleeve layering pieces rather than anything formal.

A small range, but the shirting and trousers are cut generously and the fabrics are stated clearly.

Expensive and quiet. Relaxed knits and wide trousers in cashmere and heavy cotton, in a narrow colour range.

Romantic and often long-sleeved, with high necks and a lot of cotton. Prices are high and stock moves quickly.

Long-sleeve midi and maxi dresses are most of what they make, which makes a small catalog worth reading closely.

Bright prints, and more full-length pieces than the brand's reputation suggests. Worth filtering hard.

Best known for one dress shape, some of it long-sleeved and full length. A short list, checked often.
