If your question isn’t answered here then check out ‘Ask Caryn', where I’ve answered another 10 this month.

Question: “Dear Caryn
I am looking for something that I can go out with the girls that is sexy but not over the top and definitely not clingy around the midriff and hip area. I usually wear t-shirts but think I should change that look. I am also size 16 and 5ft 3"
Sarah

Hi Sarah
Why not try a jersey dress which, teamed with a belt will accentuate your curves. The 80’s are still in fashion and a one-shoulder top like the picture below will also give you perceived height. It still has a soft t-shirt like look to it though and won’t move you too far out of your comfort zone. If you feel leggings are too much then go for either slim fit jeans which will appear more like structured and longer length leggings, or straight leg jeans, which have a more casual feel. Team with your fave footwear flats or heels and you are good to go.

Question: “Hi Caryn
Can you suggest a jacket that I can wear this summer? I get cold in the evenings and need something that looks good and is comfy. I don’t want to wear something that is too fitted as I don’t have a waist and hate my wide arms."
Helen, 42

Hi Helen
Jackets such as denim or cord are great for the summer but are usually fitted, so what I suggest is something like a piece of lightweight knitwear, which can be smart and comfortable to wear as well as practical. Marks and Spencer have crochet knitwear (very on trend); it has bell sleeves so it will give your upper arms great balance. This shape of sleeve is one of the many clothing tricks we give in our body shape e-books.

Question: "Dear Caryn
I am almost 55 years old and am celebrating my silver wedding anniversary in a month’s time. My husband is doing all the arrangements for a big party where we are going to re-new our vows so I want to make an effort to look stunning for him. I am a typical pear shape with big hips, waist and 34C. I would really love to wear a dress, any ideas? "
Helen

Hi Helen
Congratulations on your anniversary! You should check out places like Monsoon and Debenhams who offer a great selection of bias cut tops, skirts and dresses that are perfect for your pear shape. Also a favourite of mine at the moment is Country Casuals, who have updated their look recently and have a fabulous selection of designs, I have found that bias cut dresses, especially with a cowl neck are great to help diffuse and distributed weight evenly, such as the dress below worn by my former co-presenter of the BBC’s Clothes Show Selena Scott. Here’s to another 25 year together!

Question. “Hi Caryn
I am fed up with wearing black trousers and jeans. I know white trousers and jeans are in fashion but they get filthy so quickly on me I don’t think they look good. Please advise. Oh yes and one other problem I am also 6ft tall! "
Katie

Hi Katie
It’s not a problem at all. Love your height – you are a supermodel my leggy diva. Black trousers and jeans are great as a staple but yes it’s great to ring the changes. You say you don’t think white jeans look good, but have you tried a pair with a longer length bold print top or tunic. (It’s usually the bottom and pocket area that attracts the dirt). Protect this area and keep them looking fresh and white. However, if you are still not convinced why not try a bolder colour to go with the bold prints on trend such as this bootleg red jean. I’m loving these and the are going to be so versatile – I promise you will be wearing them all summer and on into the autumn. PS Just got to tell you about www.thoxsox.com for socks for shoe sizes 8-11 – handy for all you gorgeous tall types.

Question. "Hi Caryn
I hate wearing vests in the summertime and want to know if you can suggest something that covers my shoulders and is loose fitting around my hips. I also don’t want to wear a sack. "
Kim

Hi Kim
The great alternative to tight fitting t-shirts and vest is the slouchy t-shirt, not too fitted and definitely not a sack! Choose one with capped sleeves that will flatter the tops of your arms and go for a darker colour to really hide those extra pounds. Finally wear with long beads to add a touch of glamour.
