I feel completely lost these days when it comes to clothes. I'm early 30s and size 16. Pale, brown hair. I dont know what suits me. I went shopping today and just wandered around feeling lost. I dont know what shops to go to or what to try on. Im so short on clothes and I want to feel nice in clothes and feel good about myself and Im also trying to date after 6 years single but I just feel shit because I dont know how to bloody buy clothes.

You cant go wrong with a nice pair of well fitting jeans, and same for a pair of black trousers. Pair with comfy tops, so a couple of nice teeshirts, a couple of fine knit jumpers or cardigans then accessorise with jewellery and scarves. Have a couple of dressier tops for casual nights out where you want to feel a bit smarter then for posher days choose a dress, midi length, plain that you can dress up with accessories and a jacket or find a pattern that you like. A denim jacket or a leather one keeps it more casual, blazer for smarter. All can be worn with the jeans and black trousers too. The key is finding stuff that you can mix and match together to give lots of outfit options, so choose similar colours or hues that contrast well. Chat gpt will suggest colours that will suit you if you want to find options, of course you can always pay to get this done or book a sty;ist session at one of the bigger department stores. Suggest a shopping trip to a friend you trust and ask for honest feedback on outfits before buying. Have fun.
