Fashion advice… HELP!!

[twokittens25]

Hi everyone, I’m hoping some people on here might be able to help me with my wardrobe woes!

I’ve recently put on quite a bit of weight and am now a 14-16. I hate all of my clothes and just feel frumpy all the time. I’m only 25 so I’d like some age appropriate outfits that still fit my style.

I have a £500 ish budget to refresh my wardrobe and buy some items I really like.

I hate anything that shows my tummy or clings to my tummy. I feel like everything I find is for an older woman and just makes me look like I’m trying to wear my mother’s clothes!

I love things that are loose and flowy. Also would love some jeans recommendations that don’t cling right to the tummy and highlight it!

any colours but pink is my favourite. Happy with any patterns etc etc but again nothing that makes me feel like someone’s gran.

im after personal clothes and also some office outfits as I work in a corporate role.

please please please give me lots of recommendations of anything you think I may like!

Also just to add I don’t buy from anywhere like Shein etc. I do prefer slower fashion brands if possible but will also buy from Hollister, Next etc

congratulations on your weight loss.

id recommend popping over to the style and beauty board for more advice.

my tips

1. Spend some time working our your body shape and dress for that. there is lots of advice online. work out which body parts to highlight (shapely legs, etc) and which areas to avoid (you have mentioned your tummy). the online advice will show you the types of clothing that may suit you.
2. Dress for the life you have, rather than the one you would like in your head. for example, there is no point in buying loads of flowery dresses if you rarely wear them. buy items you love, but wear regularly.
3. i worked out my colour season and most )but not all) of my wardrobe is in my season, so i can mix and match my clothes.

happy shopping.
