Ageless Style: Help! I have no idea how to dress, says Heather Green, 60, a supermarket cashier in Bradford

Problem

“I feel like I’ve lost my way.” I turned 60 in January and other than work clothes or gym clothes I have no idea what to wear. I’ve put on weight since having my colostomy bag reversed and starting HRT so I don’t know what feels good anymore.

Solution

Heather’s self-confidence has taken a hit and she struggles to like how she looks in most clothes. Being petite also means she struggles with the length of dresses and pants. Heather loves bright colors and wanted to feel smarter, so I looked for bold pieces with structure.

The vibrant green of this jumpsuit is made for Heather and the tailored details flatter her frame with the bodice pleats and seams accentuating the waist. You can dress it up with jewelry and heels or dress it up with a straw bag and sandals. It’s the perfect item for your holiday wardrobe.

Heather’s verdict

“I would never have gone for green, but as soon as I put the coverall on my eyes, they looked a lot brighter. I love it and am so grateful that Stephanie helped me step out of my comfort zone. I started looking at clothes in a very different way and realized that I have to believe people when they tell me I look good.
