Sense of style

People who know about this sort of thing, which shops are best catering for those in their 50s?I live out in the sticks, so I dont come across all the names I see for womens' fashion, but I wouldnt mind knowing, so I can at least google.

It is what you feel comfortable wearing. If you look at women you consider to be stylish, you will probably find that is not what they wear but the way that they wear it. Standing tall, looking confident and once they are dressed not giving what they are wearing another thought.

OP you're a whippersnapper!

I'm your age and I wear pretty much anything that suits me, regardless of fashion.

However I find a lot of stuff that's in the shops now is cheap, droopy, and in awful colours.

I stick to jeans, brogues, boots, short jackets (I'm short) vest tops and big jewellery. It's"my" look. I also wear lots of too much makeup.

Seriously, age and size is no barrier to stylishness. Have a look on Pinterest. Plenty of examples there!

What were her words Galen?
"'Tis the season to be jolly"???

Too late!!

I remember trying to buy a dark dress for my grans funeral. The assistant told me 'it isn't the season for mourning!?'?

Look at people like Judi Dench, Jenni Murray, Dawn French, Fern Britton, and others who are mature, have their own individual style and pay very little attention to "fashion" specially those you think look stylish. Do not be afraid to admire what somebody else is wearing they will usually say where it is from!
Think about what you feel comfortable (and smart) in, styles, colours, shapes, etc and experiment!!
Do not close your mind to "younger" trends if they suit you but "try before you buy" with internet shopping.
Look for labels like EAST, Joules, Phase Eight, Mint Velvet, not forgetting the supermarkets (Tu may surprise you) Bon Marché and Mackays. Even M&S has its moments!
If you need to, take a (good) friend or a DD with you , but if you have your doubts about an outfit, send it back
Good luck!

Mine's gone too.

And me!! I'm looking for funeral clothes - help!!!!!

I don't think I ever had any, so if you find yours, please can I have some? ?

Try more expensive shops?
Or look what others your size and shape wear?
