A friendly thread about styling out the (peri)menopause

Anyone fancy joining in?

I’m 46 and have gone from a big 10 to a middle 12, but my weight has also redistributed and what looked good 5 years ago, just doesn’t now. Otherwise, I’m fit, healthy, happy, strong (HRT saved my mental health.)

I still want to look stylish and feel good in what I wear, and I’m having to totally rethink my style. Anyone else?

So far I’ve:

Convinced myself that no jeans will look good again, ever (Boden wide leg crops are okay.) I hope that can change.
Discovered the brand Collectif which makes bright, flattering, vintage inspired clothes.
Realised tucking tops in can look good, provided the waistband isn’t tight.
Found that natural fabrics are more comfortable, regulate my heat better and sit better on my body.
Discovered that I’ll never, ever look as good as the Toast models in muted shades. Cobalt is my new black.

Any thoughts, views (please, not on weight loss) or inspiration would be great.
