Inspiration needed - outfit ideas

I need to buy new clothes but need help. I’m 6ft tall, size 14/16, just about to turn 50! What would you wear to 1. Pub with partner and 2. Lunch with friends?

I usually start with shoes - it doesn't matter what outfit you pick, if the shoes aren't appropriate, you'll struggle.

I'd dress the same for the pub or lunch with friends.

My basic no fail outfits are, but everyone's different, I like separates, some of my friends only wear dresses:

Leather look leggings, boots and a long hip length jumper. I've got boots in lots of colours to co-ordinate with my jumpers, black, khaki, tan, stone, grey and leopard.

Midi pleated skirt with thin roll neck, long boots and a biker jacket

Straight leg jeans in black or blue, v neck skimming T-shirt in black or white and a blazer in camel, black or navy with either loafers or boots.

I've also got a tan leather shirt dress and longer length shackets that I wear over jeans and longline cami

Knitted dress with boots and a flying jacket

Can I ask what sort of boots you have? Chelsea, biker…?

I have quite a few pairs of boots, I normally buy 2 pairs every winter, they seem to last and my feet don't change size, unlike the rest of me! I have lace up ankle boots, biker boots, sock boots, cowboy boots, knee high boots and chunky heel ankle boots. I think the black leather lace up and biker boots get worn the most, they seem to work with dresses, skirts, leather or normal leggings and straight leg jeans.
