I need inspiration

7 replies

I'm a size 20, most weight around my middle.

I need outfit/style inspiration, but most places I look it's all about skirts/dresses or massive prints/patterns & I'm not a big fan of either.

Can anyone recommend shops/stylists/instagrammers who may be able to nudge me in the right direction please?

Lucy and Yak and Run and Fly both use a variety of different sized and shaped models on their website. The latter is much much more pattern focussed but L&Y has some quite neutral bits in amongst the patterns.
I appreciate that dungarees aren’t to everyone’s taste but they sell other bits too.

Don’t know if that helps you at all but at the very least hopefully this gives your thread a bump.

Is it tops and trousers you want op? As in no skirts and dresses at all?

Is it something for this Summer you are looking for?

Hi there - yes I think so. Ideas for good combinations - eg I like flowing wide leg trousers, but can't find anything that looks good with them.

Unfortunately both tapered & cropped trousers look awful on me (I'm 5'8" but has disproportionately short legs!)

Ok so I'm 5'6 size 16 but have been 18+ I also have a long body and short legs.

I like high waisted. paper bag style wide cropped or culottes with a t shirt tucked in.

As for insta- style me happy is a affordable stylist I like who's size 18 (Emily innes), Anna casacarina is a great fashion blogger abs Fabfatand40plus (Caroline) does some high street content and uploads regularly ans Bethanyfrancesca is a bit of younger instagrammer but I love what she wears.

Once you get following a few you can build a network as they tags and post each other in their stories etc

Also search on hashtags #midsize style #size18 etc although some come up as American size which are 2 dress sizes bigger!
