Style as self-care and pandemic fatigue

Can you reinforce for me the difference between cool and warm greens. I know olive is warm but it is those greens that are somewhat sage and those that are mint greens that confuse me.

I would love to know how to stay stylish and warm in a cold office? I feel my style is ruined as everything nice I wear leaves me cold and I have to always wear a big cardigan. My other issue is that I am slim but often get bloated so what looks good in the morning has me wanting to cover up by evening. Any hacks for this other than more cardigans?

I don’t know how to put things on that are actually flattering. I need clothes that are comfortable and practical as I live on a farm, but when I do go out and want to look more stylish when I see pics of myself I can’t believe I went out looking like that.

I' m having trouble working out how my wardrobe needs to change, heading towards planned retirement. I”m Still struggling to reduce the size of my wardrobe. Particularly knowing whether it's really worth keeping the items that only get worn once in a blue moon.

I feel that I do not fit in and have had people comment on my relaxed style being not feminine and being told that I should wear more dresses and consider wearing makeup. I have short hair and I am considered to be weird and strange as I love the outdoors, watersports and rugby.

I am such a natural enthusiast that I tend to be all over the place. I need to hone my wardrobe down – any tips on how to do this?

How do I know what patterns suit me.

I'm a farmer's daughter / farmer / farmer's wife / farmers mother so my lifestyle has always needed comfortable & practical clothes. I'm now 70 & recently retired.

I still want my clothes to be comfortable & practical but I want to wear pretty & smart things as well. Your quiz says Relaxed but the colours you link to that are revolting.... they belong down the paddock up to my ears in mud or dust. Please can we have some Nice, Pretty, Smart & Practical style suggestions with no heels in sight?

My neutrals are black, navy and grey in the autumn/winter, and beige in the spring/summer. I've got a good capsule wardrobe and I look after my clothes. I am definitely a classic but being retired, it's mostly casual. I always wear jewellery and makeup.

However, to make everything work better together I need to get over my aversion to wearing black and navy together - do I need to drop one of these colours? My accent colours are reds and turquoise/teal, both of which I love but, again, I'm not so keen on wearing them together in an outfit.

I have a few handbags in neutral colours plus tan, but have recently settled on a good grey leather bag, which seems to go with everything, and means I don't need to change my bag very often, something I'm bored with doing.

How to introduce color (not primary) into my basically black wardrobe.

I'm 5 foot tall. Even where there are petite ranges, the 'petite' element seems only to apply to width, and not height as well. I know I'm well under the average, but I find it difficult to believe that a size 8/10 is likely to be for the same height person as a size 16/18. Plus sizes have whole ranges - petite seem only to be a percentage (and not a large one) of a store/line's merchandise. Finding something that fits - it's a challenge, and often dispiriting.

In light of the pandemic and my gaining more weight than losing it, I believe my shape has become an “O.”

I am of Caribbean descent and therefore have inherited more behind than hips. How should I take this into account when figuring out what to wear. I can’t seem to find anyone — either online or in books — who takes this into account. I don’t have wide hips just a big bodacious backside.

I've lost 70 pounds in the last eight months. I'm not sure I even know what is supposed to be stylish for someone that is in their 50's.

I’m retired, have a large bust and am petite plus have lymphedema so need compression stockings – I find it hard to find attractive clothes that work for me It’s a struggle to find items I like.

I am a petite O and recently bought a summery print skirt that is the right length ( top of my knee) according to your formula. I wore it with a solid knit top again the right length ( high hip, just covering the fullest part of my belly), but I see they are just about equal in length! Do I just go with it or do you have another thought?

I’m retired and have nothing between more formal corporate clothes and super casual as my life is now very casual and doesn't suit the classic/formal clothing style I've been living in for many years and some guidance is needed!

In This Video 0.10 How do I get a capsule together: I have quite a few orphan tops that only go with pants. Jackets don’t complement either, it’s all a bit haphazard – any tips? 3.59 I’m an overweight H shape (possibly O right now!) and it has become clear that my hips and legs…

Apparently, internet years are a bit like dog years, where each standard Gregorian year is equivalent to 7 years on the internet because technology moves so quickly.  Today Inside Out Style turns 13  (in human years) and 91 in internet years, which makes me feel like quite the granny as a blogger!
