When does your body shape change from one to another? What’s the turning point from an 8 shape to H shape?
I have recently gained some menopausal weight. Since I have always been very skinny, this is a challenge for me because I now have lost my style and do not know how to dress anymore.
I just don’t know how to transfer my style into something that fits and flatters my body.
Biggest challenge is finding clothes I like in shops that suit my age and figure.
I struggle with learning to dress a very short, kinda curvy (61kg) body with very short legs in a way that is not girly, looks good and powerful in flat shoes.
My biggest issue right now is finding age appropriate clothes
In This Episode 0.08 My concern is how do I feel stylish AND comfortable at work! I have a 1 hour commute, with some walking, and sneakers are not an option at the office… I am curvy, 5’6″ a UK 16 up (big bust) and a 12 down. So it is not easy to find…
How do I create outfits that respect my natural style, my soft cool light colouring and my curvy X shape body with the season of winter.
How do I feel stylish and comfortable at work – I need to be able to walk easily, but sneakers are not an option at the office, I’m also a very top-heavy body shape (2 sizes different top to bottom)?
My biggest problem with my style is that I seem to have lost it! I began dressing casually when I had kids and I just never seemed to get my flair back. I am also a theatre nurse so when I go to work I get changed into my “pajamas”. So I haven’t put much effort into how I look as I just get changed. I guess I’ve just lost my spark and aren’t sure how to get it back. I see lots of stuff I like but at 51 I’m not sure what works for me and I find it easier to just fall back into track pants/active wear.
If I wanted to put it in a nutshell, my biggest style struggle is overwhelm. I’ve been told that my colouring is Clear and deep winter, and true winter and bright spring and vivid winter and so I’m totally confused and then as far as body shape goes there are so many systems, from Kibbe to Trinny and Susannah (What not to wear) and so many more. I’m so confused I don’t know who to believe and what to do. I wish had the self-confidence to dress with certainty rather than always feeling confused about what is right.
In This Episode 0.08 If you want to wear analogous colours how can you get your colour contrast if you are medium-high colour contrast? 2.21 Silhouettes are changing in fashion and new proportions are key to looking current’…I’d love to hear your perspective. How can we stay true to our own personal style without being…
In This Episode 0.10 My lifestyle is very casual and my personal style is relaxed/romantic/classical. While relaxed is easy to style as casual. how do I add romantic and classical elements to my outfits? Do I use specific colors? Warm pinks maybe? Specific shapes in Jewelry or shoes? 3.38 Could you share about finding a…
The relaxed personality style report you sent to me is 100% me but little of my wardrobe reflects that. I have recently retired at 66. I haven’t really transitioned into my style from work clothes, dead easy to buy, Reiss and Hobbs and silk blouses, these still fill my wardrobe yet are unworn. I’m slobbing around in shorts and tees hirts or black leggings. When I pluck up courage to go shopping I can’t decide what to buy, I dislike buying on line as depending on brand and cut I might be an 8 or a 10. Often I am overwhelmed by choice. So really where do I start?
My biggest problem is I am short (1m58), curvy (but not curvy enough to fit in plus-size models) and that’s sometimes hard to find. Help
Footwear issues: what to wear with each kind of outfit? I can’t wear heels because of a bad back and I never know what type of shoe to wear that is both stylish and season appropriate (warm in winter. etc) and what kind of leg covering goes with what: leggings and socks, just socks, foot leggings, what? The regular panty hose is not warm enough for the cold winters in my region.
Your colour questions answered about colour palette, high contrast, matching shoes, and colour values.
I struggle with prints in general – what to choose. I’m a bit scared that they won’t work so I tend to avoid them. Any tips?
How do I dress practically and attractively, being comfortable but still in an interesting but not crazy way, so vibrant but not aggressive?
Why is it that I am tempted to follow trends even when they don’t fit my lifestyle or body type?
Why is it that even though I’m average height at 5’6” petite size tops fit me better?
I hate shopping. Cannot find my favorite colors and I find that clothes off the rack fit poorly. Any tips?
How do I improve my style consistency – some days I look great and others I feel like a slob
I want to learn better how to express who I am without being obsessed with my appearance and not to be invisible unless I choose to be. As an older women, it is easy to be overlooked, but I’m not interested in being dramatic as a means of countering that bias. I don’t object to it in other, but my own style is more understated. I struggle most with hair and makeup.
I’ve no idea what is suitable for my age – which is 52 – I’d like to be more elegant.
I have too much stuff that I picked up on sale that is now so unorganized that I can’t see what I have. How can I organise my wardrobe?
I like too many clothes! I am a mood dresser, and sometimes have too many items!
How can I develop a core capsule for my style?
Help me transition away from a predominantly corporate wardrobe to more smart casual- retirement; and help with my colors as I move to grey hair color
I feel like my style is on constant repeat I find it hard to locate any variety anywhere not in my wardrobe or the shops How can I find something different?
How do I Look smart without being too formal?
I’ve been hiding in a very basic “uniform” for a long time and am nervous about showing who I am through style.
I’ve retired now and in my working life found it easy to dress smart. Now I’m more into dressing casual but I really don’t know where to start.
I need to find clothes that don’t emphasize my stomach or hips.
I suppose my biggest style challenge at the moment would be, what am I going to wear ?
I’m a retired person now living in Mexico, my greatest challenge is making the transition from the work wardrobe to the more casual, climate appropriate style.
The body shape challenge is crazy because of all the conflicting advice.
I sew and design my own patterns, so I can make anything happen. As soon as I figure out what “anything ” I’m aiming for.
I can’t find a bra that fits, the cup size is not right when I choose a larger band size to fit my more expanded waist. Any tips?
I really do not know what style actually suits me. I am over 60 approximately 5ft 6in tall have salt and pepper longish hair and a pearish body shape with short body , short waist and long legs I have gained weight in the past 12 months in the hip abdominal area and have a pot belly and lost my side/hip definition therefore I don’t know what to wear and I prefer trousers
12.48 My biggest challenge is that I live in the wrong climate for my style LOL!!
I’m currently living in the UK, but I like to dress in soft, silky, lightweight satiny lacy things as well as cute kitten heels and pointy shoes. I’m either always freezing to death or dodging puddles and mud.
I just moved here 4 years ago and tried doing the lumpy sweaters and rubber wellies but I feel so *UGH* in them.
I can’t afford a total wardrobe redo, but I need to get some “sexy” back in my closet!
I just watched your post about flattering necklines and how matching your jawline is best. I do not wear the types of necklines I would look best in due to modesty reasons. How does wearing something under a v-neck or scoop neck affect the “ideal” neckline of the scoop or v-neck? Can I use necklaces over boat or crew necks to get this ideal neckline instead?
I struggle with finding clothes as there is so much Inconsistent sizing between stores.
My weight which has settled in my middle. I am attempting to lose weight but even if I do. I believe I will never have a waist again. I am a rectangle . At my best I will be a small rectangle. It is quite a change since my youth when I was an hourglass I am also short so when I attempt to hide the middle with longer tops I have no legs. I do not think it is possible to dress this and look attractive in any way. I try to be moderate and so have lost interest in clothes
The big one for me atm is ageing — I don’t want to give up, any tips?
My biggest issue with fashion is finding ready-made clothing that fits well enough to wear comfortably & look good. I wear a size 8 jean, but need a 14-16 top to fit the bustline. However, the 14-16 shoulders, neck/sleeve openings, sleeve lengths, etc. are too big to look nice on me.
How can I combine my feminine style personality with a relaxed lifestyle? I love florals, lace, pink, skirts and dresses, and feminine details, but as a stay at home mom with five kids (including a baby that I’m breastfeeding), I need my clothes to be practical, comfortable, and casual. I also have (I think) medium high value contrast and medium color contrast, so the very low contrast pastel look of many feminine outfits doesn’t work for me. I would appreciate any tips.
How exactly do colors need to match when you have an outfit with multiple items in the same color? For example, I have a pink and beige patterned skirt. I would normally think to wear it with a pink top or cardigan, but none of mine are exactly the same pink. Is that okay, or is it better to wear a top that’s neutral or a different color?
How do I create a perfect capsule wardrobe where everything goes together for all changing seasons and no thought about what to wear everyday?
How do I edit my wardrobe so it’s just my best clothes?
I just wonder if you can be value contrast dominant although your ideal value contrast is medium? But what if you have medium value contrast and neutral features?
My biggest style challenge is getting out of the rut I’m in with my clothes – I feel like my clothes are boring, dull and lack imagination and creativity.
Would you please recommend some clothing styles that would work for someone petite, creative (but in a business setting), and will let me look my age or younger?
