Dear All

Hello

What colours do you wear mainly?
Any colours you feel that don't suit you?

Do you think you are stuck in a rut with your wardrobe?

Oh and what is your favourite outfit /clothes to wear?

Edit... Does your confidence get a boost if you wear a particular colour?

Replies welcome

Very best wishes to all

Hello Elizabeth.

Browns, fawns, orange, greens. being very fair skined as well as white hair I feel these colours suit me and give me a bit of colour, some colours drain me and make me look ill. never had professional advice so I could have it all wrong. I mix and match a lot. don't wear pastel shades, like bright cheerful colours and really suppose I go for Autumn tones mostly, like black evening wear if I go to a "do".

i love pink,
but like any pretty shades, white mainly too looks brighter against skin,

Stuck in a rut? Most defiantly, yes!

Winter clothing revolves around black bottoms (skirts/trousers) and white or cream tops. It does get a bit boring, but goes with either of the coloured winter weight jackets used frequently.

At least with summer clothes, I can be a bit more cheerful looking!

my favourite colour is green,but nowadays I slob round in tracky bottoms and T shirts. Go for comfort rather than fashion, I only have "posh" clothes for funerals.

I'm like Joan, mainly wear dark colours and only ever wear M & S stretchy trousers with jumpers or T-shirts.

Last time I wore a skirt was at a wedding about 7 years ago and I'll have to wear a dress for my niece's wedding next year.

I mainly only go out to the shops as well so don't do "dressing up". Sad or what!!

I was a late convert to wearing jeans - I used to wear black trousers a lot until I realised that so much painting on my art course did not go well with them, and I've been living in my jeans ever since! (But I'm very picky about them - I often go round the shops feeling the thickness of the denim to see if it's hard-wearing enough!)

But I have quite a mix of colours in my wardrobe - my formal dresses are burgundy and dark blue, I've got another flouncy one that's black and white, my summer dresses are generally very pale but with pink- or purple-based prints on them, and my tops, jumpers and blouses are in the pink-to-burgundy, lilac-to-blue and jade green regions!

What I'm after at the moment, of all things, are some interesting socks!

I wear Pink mainly, also like white and girlie florals, but I feel most confident in Pink.
I never wear Blue, although I do not mean Jeans, I love wearing Jeans But will wear something feminine with them, I do not feel feminine at all in blue, it makes me feel dowdy.
I do not think I am stuck in a rut with my wardrobe, however I do have my own style and certain things I like to wear, and I am not keen on change, I am always disapointed when fashion changes.
If I had to choose an item of clothing I love best it would be cardigans, I feel really cosy in them and I have quite a collection.
Although I am no fashion expert.
I was wondering though if the ladies and maybe gentlemen on here feel better with make-up than without it, I love wearing it.

late comer to make up too, i wore a bit of blusher in the 80s as teenager,
then none at all,
now i tend to put bit of conceler and some foundation on to just cover the skin a bit, and make it look even,
never ad clue how to apply it right
jeans i never wore until early 20s when i had my little girl, and i slim slim size 8, after, now i like um all time, but cant get comfy pair anywhere,

Hi Elizabeth

I love pinks and lilacs and red! The only time I wear black is for a funeral. Years ago I remember going to a wedding reception and every woman bar me and the bride had a black dress on, I was very shocked.

As a rule I wear crops in the summer and jeans in the winter, I've only got posh frocks

ark at you
lucky devil, i got one frock, and that i wore to my grandaughters christening 2 year ago, !!!!!!!!!!
oh no i got a frock i wore to a friends daughters wedding, but it white, halter neck and now chest would hurt if i wore that , well they been married gotta be 4 years

Glad it's not just me, Agatha - I often go shopping with a view to buying loads of new clothes and then I can never find anything I like in the shops.

Something really irritating at the moment is the mismatch between the internet and what's in the shops! Late in August I was browsing the offerings on Marks and Spencers' website and made a note of some the things I wanted to get, then I got to our nearest one and they still had all the old stuff in . . .

Green has to be my favourite colour,all different shades.But I do like bright colours in the summer.Always darker bottoms though.I can't remember the last time I wore a dress.Probably on my wedding day in 1981 lol.

I love red pink purple the only colour I look dreadful in is white
looking at my wardrobe I have every colour under the sun
next march we have a family wedding the theme is black & white for me it is so diffcult I am dreading looking for an outfit not really my colours

I like to wear blue. I like everyone else to wear blue as well. You've only got to look at my washing line!

I don't like to see little girls in a mixture of 'barbie' pinks but now I am diversifying....

Mabel - I wore a white trouser suit, black/white blouse and black hat for my daughter's wedding in May. Not normally the colours I'd go for (we didn't have a 'theme' as such) but I was pleased with my outfit in the end.

I bet you look gorgeous, but what colour are your flip flops

yes Mac
i have seen it lol

I wear mostly black and white

Nudge please

Thank you

I meant to add yesterday that if I find a top I like I will often buy 2 in different colours.This year M&S had some lovely linen tops and I got a pink(bright) and a lemon.

So whats wrong with black then !!! LOL

The only problem is that there are varying shades of black, no 2 exactly the same. I wouldnt look out of place at a funeral ! Just trousers and tops .
I wore one skirt once in the "heat wave" , and rarely , If I'm really adventurous then navy or brown .
No problem choosing what to wear and ready to go in 5 minutes !!!
