Okay, I'm struggling. I'm between a 16-18, 5ft 9, 39, dark hair, loose skin on arms and carry a lot on my front. Basically I'm a mess and want to hide away, however I am going to hotter climes in August and need to find some tops so I don't pass out from heat exhaustion.

Ideally, I would like t-shirts/tunics that I can wear out during the day, but need to be lightweight, cover upper arms and longline as I'm tallish and standard length stuff cuts right off on my middle, which is the bit I need to detract attention from. I don't ask much! If anyone knows of anything suitable, I would really appreciate the help. I've looked lots, but don't seem to get much joy.

I tend to wear mountain warehouse 3/4 length trousers on the bottom, so casual I suppose? I don't know, I'm a bit useless. To give you an idea, I just found some sandals I liked and the first review was a woman who had bought them for her very elderly mother... Apparently she loves them.

If you're between sizes it's easier to go into town and try things on rather than order online and send loads back, mountain warehouse do some nice fun t-shirts

Sorry but Mountain Warehouse trousers don't scream stylish to me! How about some linen trousers from Marks & Spencer, teamed with long linen/cotton shirts. Sounds like lagenlook would suit you. Will try to find some links.

As far as sandals go, Saltwater are very in at the moment, or Birkenstocks?

Thanks Smile. The Lagen stuff looks lovely and I'll have a look at the sandals.
