Is this outfit classy?

[Inmydreams88]

I’m 36, size 14, 5’5 and pear shaped. Trying to find my style after having a baby last year. I’ve been trying to dress “trendy” but I don’t think it’s working for me.

I’ve got lots of basics/staples but I can’t seem to put outfits together.

I’ve bought these jeans, coat and bag. What colour top and what shoes would go with this?

Those a lovely basics! I don’t tend to wear much color so you could mirror what the pieces are already styled with, so neutral tops in black, white, beige, navy etc. For shoes, ballet pumps, trainers, biker boots would all work. Small details like wearing a black belt with gold hardware to match the bag make a difference. Then accessorize with whatever jewelry you like - I wear gold, and this would look good as it also mirrors the gold hardware on the bag.

They're lovely OP, so lovely.

I'm not the greatest with colours so I won't advise you, apart from saying a crisp simple white top is always a winner.

You could wear almost any colour top with that outfit. White looks nice on the model. I’d probably wear black. For shoes I’d wear clumpy-soled ankle boots, but brogues would also be nice.

I have some harper jeans, love them! And the bag is gorgeous.
If you're going for classy I would stick with black or white tops. Or if you want something a bit less plain maybe a black/white stripe but to keep it a bit more modern I would go for a boxy/relaxed or drop shoulder top. Something kind of like these

I'm gonna buck the trend as I have been watching (too much) Trinny. Orange and Lime green would look great. As would Camel, black white, Breton stripes, leopard print

Yes totally and so good for building other outfits with.
