Fashion Help

[3wonders]

Hi,
I havent posted on here for ages and ages.

I am touching 50 this year - and lost all my confidence with clothes, as I have put on about 20 pounds over the last couple of years.

I work from home and my daily outfit consists of gym leggings and a sweatshirt.

I need some help please to find some outfits that I can wear when I leave the house. Just generally going out in the day out for lunch into town etc.

I wear jeans and trainers but dont really know what suits me ontop. I am a size 16-18

And then I need help with clothes when I go out for dinner

Thank you all!

I'm a bit older than you, but I love a tunic dress with opaque tights and flat shoes, or ankle boots.
Sea Salt is currently my go-to, but I like White Stuff too.

(Would this not be better placed in Style and Beauty??)

Otherwise - budget? Shape? Lifestyle? Perhaps you live in Eaton Square with a retinue of hair and facial specialists at your command and unlimited money to spend? Or do you live on a farm and cycle into town for lunch?

Do you want to stand out, or blend in? And where did you usually shop pre-pandemic?

Also - do you only want to use your nearest High St, or are you happy to explore online?

I am the same age as you, and have also piled on weight since start of covid and therefore live in gym gear. I am starting a new job next week, and here is my new work wardrobe.

Wide leg trousers from M & S, with T shirts and blazer (s

Sorry! Several options of each.

Black jeggings, biker boots, chiffon shirts and cashmere cardigans.

Midi dress with pumps - again several options with suede jacket or cardigan

Smart ankle grazer trousers and nice jumpers with long kimono jacket over and a chunky necklace.

All can be dressed up with heeled boot or shoe but I’m happier in flats personally.
