I have been watching street style videos on YT including French, Danish, Italian and British. I feel most drawn to Danish style.

Tropical, lots of linen light bright colours some patterns ie block print, wide leg trousers with straight bracelet length tops, lot of kurta type style (stops sun burn), long lightweight cotton dresses, never wear shorts or vest tops. Chunky jewellery, wood some ceramic, only silver jewellery.

Bag filled with mozzie spray insect bite cream and sun lotion only factor 50!

Oh should of said, Tropical as that where I live in the Tropics!

What’s it like living in the tropics? I’ve always fancied it as I love the climate. Do you get hurricanes and things where you live? Is it unbearable in the summer?

Yesterday was described as French and chic ! (We are both 60’s but it was nice anyway😁)

Nothing about being in your 60s means you can’t be either French or chic!

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu is in her 60s!

Fantasy me is Italian - slightly ott glamour, high heels, gold hoops and swishy hair - that mixture of smart casual.
Reality me is scruffy Brit - too much black and cheap shit from the supermarket because I'm too fat.

No hurricanes but Tropical Cyclones, and of course always the threat of Tsunami. Floods, landslides with heavy rain.

Yes, it can get hot (38) but not unbearable so if you can manage it, you do get used to it. Different parts get different weather at different times of the year so at times no sea swimming in places. The threat always hangs over with being bitten by mozzies and the dread of Dengue fever. Many other things to think about as well, living somewhere and having a holiday are very, very different!

Thanks! Interesting.
