Long blonde curly hair - what clothes style?

Hi all, I’ve googled and searched Pinterest and Instagram to no avail.

I always had straight blonde hair - various lengths, from bob to long. Now that I am menopausal I have curly hair 😱. I have had it in a short bob for a few years and like it. I didn’t have to change my clothing style as it suited my minimalist look - wide trousers, plain top, runners; wide jeans, short top; straight jeans, oversized jumper, boots.

But I have now let my hair grow and I like it. It’s still blonde but beach waves. I’m trying to embrace the curls because, to be honest, daily straightening is a faff and I live in Ireland so
it rains a lot.

Can any of you point me to clothing styles that will suit a wild mass of hair? I think the wide leg trousers will have to go as I am very petite and they worked best with short hair.

If anyone has had a similar transformation I’d love to hear from you.

I don’t want to go boho - it isn’t my style, I like to look polished but casual, minimalist as I hate frills and collars.

Any Instagrammers would be useful. Thank you all in advance.

I like Suzannah Lipscomb’s recent style. She’s ditched the tight red dresses and lipstick that she started out with (tbf that may have been TV producers telling her to wear sexy stuff to present history programmes. It always jarred with me) and embraced country style - tight trousers with boots, padded jackets, fairisle jumpers. Sounds outdated but I think it looks so cosy and still glam with her blonde ringlets.
