Problem
‘Over the past five years, I’ve tried to revamp my wardrobe to suit my changing body shape and age, but what I end up wearing doesn’t reflect who I am. I want to recapture the years when I felt confident, so I need guidance and a fresh perspective.’

Solution
Lisa wants a minimal look that is stylish, works every day and is easy to put together. As she is a petite 4ft 9in, I’ve chosen tailoring options that elongate and flatter.
The ruching on this Rails top sits in all the right places and has a slight peplum, which shows the full length of the trousers while also lengthening Lisa’s silhouette. The neutral palette makes these the perfect capsule wardrobe items.

Lisa’s verdict
‘Stephanie listened to what I needed and gave me a simple, tailored, classic and functional outfit that will work for my day-to-day. I felt modern and, dare I say it, youthful.
Growing older graciously and gratefully has been my midlife mantra. Now I can do it stylishly, too.’
