How to be stylish in countryside?

[Ceramekin]

How do you express your love of style of fashion, living somewhere semi-rural? I live in the market down with lots of lovely canal and hill walks, these main leisure activities outside own garden and a coffee in town. I dress up for work and days out but day to day struggling to find a formula. Also WFH at least 3 days a week.

Practically, anything goes here but needs to be a mix of comfort and style. Kids are all out in Barbour, Fairfax and Favour, wellies, boat shoes, you get it. Looks like a cliche but I get that they want to belong with their kind.

But how does a 45 years who loves SATC fashion adapt to this environment?

Please shares your experiences!

I was coming on here to say hexbys & a schoffel, but I think your town is very very different from my rural setting!

Go back 30 years and live near a City with a Droopy and Browns … (Nothing like SATC, entirely distinct country look.)

If I were to move back to the country I’d probably stock up on

Cool country dressing defined for all time.

Batsheva doesn’t seem to be in the list the Monty Don thread produced, but I must put in a special word for this, because it’s so gorgeous and does actually remind me of Droopy and Browns:

Admittedly it would only work if you harbour a romantic vision of country life.
