Can anyone suggest some Instagram accounts that are worth following for a middle aged woman trying to be stylish? I am looking for some where there are links to the clothes which can be bought in this country and are not mega expensive.

It's just one person sorry "fab fat and 40 plus"

I tend to avoid the accounts deliberately aimed at middle aged or older women, even though technically I suppose I am one.

Here’s a few accounts I follow. Once you start following and liking the posts with clothes or outfits you like, the algorithm will start showing you and suggesting other similar accounts.

I like trinny. She's a bit mad, but she makes me think about proportions, and question my style. As in, 'is this how I want to look, is this reflective of me at this stage in my life'. I did follow a few larger, middle aged women (like me) and I liked them, but found all the dancing etc annoying.
I am a miserable cow.

Thanks everyone. Some great suggestions for me to look at.

@MillicentTheMagnificent yes found it was one person when I searched 🙈

I quite like Sarah Tomczak for a very classic, "safe" look but she never declares #gifted #paid.
Nicki Chapman is lovely and totally scrupulous.
Alex Hollywood is gorgeous - she could make a killing as a style influencer but she's all about the food - and midlife observations.

Wardrobe Icons. I have nowhere near the budget that they speak to, but very good at classic, traditional but still trendy, style.

It is very much moved by advertising - they have some tie up with Massimo Dutti at the moment so push that hard and they are forever doing collabs with brands. But I think we’re all eyes open to that sort of thing now anyway.

Also like silver kat a lot! Fortyplusandnotgivingupyet is down to earth and doesn't take herself too seriously! She is tall and does some try ons with a petite friend of hers too but I can't remember her account name - stealmystyle maybe?
40notfrumpy is another one I follow

covetingthepreciousthings · 23/01/2024 22:14

Erica Davies wears some fabulous outfits, one of my favourite accounts to follow.

LAvortonDeLaLitière · 23/01/2024 22:21

I like Erica Davies, and she is a very attractive woman, but her style doesn't work for me at all. I think we're similarly sized but I like a more streamlined, structured look or I very rapidly become circular.

GoodlifeGlow · 23/01/2024 22:26

Stylebyclairelopez has loads of styling information which I find useful. Eg taking one item of clothing and showing multiple ways of styling it.

Midlifechic is more of a blogger than an Instagrammer but she does post from time to time. She's a very elegant woman and a particularly good writer.
I have also become a bit of a fan of AnnaEleriHart - she's much younger than me (and thinner, more attractive etc.) but she is quite a compelling follow.

way2serious · 24/01/2024 22:08

Thanks everyone. I am still going through all of your suggestions and am loving exploring all of them and have already picked up lots of ideas.
