Help me choose an evening outfit

[Toddlergrumps]

I’ve absolutely no fashion sense! I want to get an evening outfit for a cruise to Spain. I want it to be versatile so it can be worn again, I had a colleague’s retirement do a few weeks ago and realised I had nothing to wear, so just didn’t change after work 😳
My husband buys me clothes as gifts as he knows I hate clothes shopping, but he tends to get skirts/jeans and casual tops.

I can wear trousers, but I’m tall, I need a 34-36inch length so struggle find trousers that fit. Im a size 10, around 5’10 with a short body and long arms and legs.
I get most of my clothes from Hobbs (for work) and white stuff/ sea salt (for casual) because I know they fit and also have great shop assistants who choose things for you 🥳 I’m 39 and I’d say my style was conservative - I’m definitely not fashionable.
I have a £75 love to shop voucher which I’d like to use (I’ve had it about 10 months so not sure when it expires). It works at a lot of high street shops.
Hopefully someone has a suggestion, for an evening outfit.

If I were you I would look for a really nice well fitting pair of black trousers. These will look good on you as you have long legs. Then find one or two black lace or white/ivory silk tops plus an evening jacket, perhaps a tuxedo style. Then you can cover all evening / occasion dressing!

A jumpsuit would probably look fabulous on your long legs! Go to John Lewis and try some.

M&EM is also a good shout for your body shape.

I wore this dress recently on a cruise and it was perfect for me. It has.a silky sheen to it that makes it look a bit more glam then it does in the photos!

John Lewis Monsoon Dress

This is an evening gown from CATCHALL. It should suit you very well—perfect for tall figures, with a fitted waist that flatters your shape, very elegant. The same style also comes in black, white, and pink, all of which are quite flattering.
