I don't know what to wear anymore!

I can't seem to find my feet with my style anymore.
I've just worn a hole in my skinny jeans but tbh I feel like o don't want to wear them anymore. I've been wearing culottes a lot and omg the comfort!!!! But I just don't know what to wear!
I'm a tight size 10 but I'm hippy. I prefer to wear long tops but they seem to be a thing of the past!
Why do 30 year olds wear now 🙈
I'm trying to loose half a stone but failing. But I want to feel comfy now, as o am!
Why do you go for inspiration?

I was going to post this exact thing today!
I read the "what's dated" thread yesterday (which covered about half my wardrobe!) and thought ok, that's what NOT to wear, but where do people get ideas/know what TO wear!
I'm in the process of losing lots of weight so wanting a wardrobe update but feel like I have no clue about fashion these days!
Will look forward to the replies OP!

Have you got Pinterest? That’s a good place to start for inspiration.
I will usually have a little scroll on there and save any outfits I like.
I think the key is only choosing outfits you know you’d wear - so I might absolutely love the look of long flowery dresses on other women but I know I wouldn’t wear them. So absolutely no point even considering it.

Then I have a flick through my style board on Pinterest and work out if I’ve got some pieces in my wardrobe that I can recreate the look from. I also can see what items I’m saving more of, so for instance I saved a lot of pics of plain black trousers with black silky blouses tucked in and I realised I didn’t have either of those things so I went and bought both and now I have an outfit I love and have worn a few times both dressed down for work and up for a night out!

Hahaha yes I saw this thread too!
I really want to venture away from skinny jeans. My old faithful park have deceased and I bought some more today but I literally don't want to wear them! But then what tops do o wear with mom jeans etc?!
I feel so old fashioned 🙈
