(Okay, full disclosure, flying to Venice to review a fashion show might be up there too). It’s not just your trust I value, but the granular detail: from how to tweak a uniform that’s become too defined by dog walking and vacuuming, to what to wear when you’ve jacked in your high-flying job as a court judge and are looking for a sartorial release. This week’s question: how to move on from floral dresses and trainers (without ditching all the constituent parts) is a particular favourite. Not just because it shows how tuned in our readers are to subtle style changes, but because like so many of your personal questions, it turns out to hit on something universal: a desire to find “our” style while acknowledging that nothing can stay rigidly the same. Open minded, questioning, sensible but ready to take a risk – that’s the spirit of so many of our readers. Keep those questions coming.
