finding the middle ground

[vanfurgston]

hi i have been in uk for a few years now and am still struggling to find a style that dsnt stick out as much.
i would really appreciate help regarding dress as i feel very limited. all i wear are jeans and longish shirts and a coat in winter. any ideas regarding dresses and headscarves which are stylish?
i m from an asian muslim background thanks

To vary your current look without going outside your comfort zone, you could wear tunics over skinny jeans or leggings.
For dresses, Dorothy Perkins might be a good place to start?they have lots and they're quite cheap, so it wouldn't cost you too much to experiment a bit and find out what you like and what suits you.
But what colours/styles appeal to you? Roughly what size and shape are you? Whicj bits of you would you like to show off or hide?

Would second the longer top/tunic with jeans/leggings look. Have you got some good boots for winter?

For scarves most of my hijabi friends are doing a two tone look with an under scarf/bonnet in one colour with a contrasting colour as the main scarf. Adding pretty hijab pins on the side or getting the double plaited head bands (primark a couple of quid) and putting them over just peeping through.

To be honest I haven't seen anyone wear a dress since the weather turned!

i m size 10 and i love pale greens and pinks. well pale colours in general
and i have a a bit of tummy which i like to hide. and the best thing for me are my legs i guess.
i love wearing jeans but was wondering if there are any pants which i can wear and dnt look too formal

yep mrs snow but i am thinking ahead to the next summer i dnt want to wear the same boring long shirts.
thanks for the suggestions

Oh, you're a summer, then?at least your tastes are.
For summer, what about something like this? It has a vintage feel.
Found a few others that are more wintry but could carry you through to spring:
