How can I find photos for style / outfit inspo - not Instagram!

After a very long gap, 2 kids and probably about 2 stone since the last one I have 3 weddings coming up. All same family so can't rewear stuff but all quite different formats so wouldn't want to anyway.

I'm not on Insta.

Is there a good site for typing in pieces / styles / descriptions then I can browse outfits for ideas??

Eg one wedding is quite informal and might need a layer so I've started thinking about fur gilets / cropped fur coats. Maybe with a maxi pleated / very full skirt and top so want to get some photos of those sorts of combos to see if I'd look like a dickhead or if it could be a thing.

Any ideas where to start????

Another factor is that I'd like to wear flats so would search 'wedding guest ideas flat shoes floaty skirt' to see what works. My fashion
'Minds eye' is non existent but once I've got an overall silhouette / style / items to aim for I'm very good at piecing it together in real life!

Ok cool - do I literally type in 'wedding guest outfit flat shoes flowing skirt'? Then should I be trying to follow people or hashtags or save things to teach an algorithm? I literally have no clue how to use it properly!

Just save the outfits you like and it will recommend similar.

Google images have some.

You don’t want a cropped fur gilet with a full or pleated skirt. Too fussy. You’d want a long narrow skirt. At least if you’re aiming for contemporary. The full skirt look would be a sort of vintage thing.

Do you not regularly browse online shops? The editorial sections of Net-a-Porter, or Ssense, for example, give really sharp, on the ball examples of how current clothes can be worn to look good. Or just scroll through the what’s new parts of Cos, Chloe, Zara, Zimmerman, wherever you like?

In truth I get most of my inspiration direct from the Vogue Runway app …

I know this isn't quite what you asked but these are surprisingly versatile -
