Completely Lost!

I'm in desperate need of advice. I feel like I've lost my style direction (if that's a thing!)
I'm 43, size 18 and carry most of my weight in my tummy (I also hate my arms).
For work wear I'm pretty sorted and confident in my choices, but casual and the occasional night out I'm at a loss.
I'm tall aswell, which makes things a bit more challenging with what shops I can get trousers, jeans and leggings in. Tops are fine from regular shops though.
I need some ideas or tips for casual day to day spring/summer and some inspiration for a cocktails type night out. The last time I felt confident in going out clothes it was straight jeans, heels and an elbow length sequin top.
All autumn/winter I've loved oversized sweaters with mom jeans or jogger but I need to change it up a bit for this coming season. Any suggestions very welcome!

Weird fish are good if you have a bit of a tummy, I love their shorts, and I have a couple of jumpsuits from them which are very flexible IE dress up or down.

I have a tummy too and am experimenting with jumpsuits for going out ( provided you can get to a toilet quick!). I have one from Thought but also seen nice ones everywhere from Zara to Oliver Bonas.

With jumpsuits I find that to hide my big belly I look like a clown😂 What style do you go for?
