Im a minger Help!!!!

I'd never heard of Seasalt so have just had a look on their website 😱 no wonder i haven't heard of it, its the sort of stuff I would have bought my 90 yo nan!

😒
Please stop with the ageism!

I dislike their sludgy colours, patterns and tunics, but they sometimes have plain pieces in brighter colours. Their website doesn't do their clothes any favours, yet their shops present the clothes in a much better way. They currently have some lovely knitwear in.

I have a Seasalt near me, and 90% of the time I have a look around and don't buy anything, but occasionally they have an absolute gem. Their clothes are well made and are often made from organic cotton. Their sustainability credentials are better than many other popular brands of clothing.

Of course not, presumably you dont wear your pjs out, the others stuff you mentioned is standard stuff which I mentioned anyway. I am 47 so not young but I hope I have many years before I turn to a really drab wardrobe, if ever. I look for stuff that suits my shape, size etc which is different to the OPs, there have been loads of good suggestions on the thread.

Its bog standard, fairly boring stuff, good staples as you say but if OP wants to look better then its not the way forward. Its the opposite of what she's asking for. It most definitely is dressing for middle age which is fine if its what you want.

I'm quite old myself. I'm entitled to an option, my specific 90 yo nan wore very similar stuff, I am commenting on my experience. My 70 yo mum would say its frumpy, shes allowed an opinion also. I can only comment on their website as never seen a store before.

I dont care what people wear at what age, i hate any comments either way, eg that person cant wear x,y,z at their age, people can wear what they like but OP is specifically asking for stuff to improve her look.

@SexyFrenchDepression , What do you recommend for someone in their mid-50s?
In particular, one who has had 5 DC and has an hourglass figure.

At the least colours that are flattering, I cant answer exactly for the OPs shape, but there have been loads of suggestions on here by people similar shape and suggestions of how to find out what would look good. Definitely something with a bit more shape though and not short trousers.

I think for me the key thing is good fabrics. Now I’m older I really appreciate silk, cashmere and good cotton. I think the OP should have a look at Pinterest and see what kind of looks she likes and go from there.

I find if I’m “influenced” it never feels like me. I may be 53 but I still like clothes and need to trust my own style rather than listening to others so much! (Note to self) Pinterest is great and then you can work from there, factoring in the colours that suit. I also use reverse image on google a lot.

I get what you mean @SexyFrenchDepression , but I don't like blanket dissing of good brands.

Some of the suggestions on here are good, some bad.
I was curious as to what your suggestions were.

(Only my jimjams look 'Seasalt')

Apologies for the blanket dissing! I didnt really mean it as harsh as it sounded!

Look, I have fluffy disney pjs so I cannot talk!

Agreed.

Also, great user name
