Hi, I can give you some advice from the female point of view.

If you're not sure, shirst with solid colours are easier to pull off. Shirts with simple patterns are ok, nothing too busy. Don't mix patterns if you can help it. If you do, one pattern has to be very discreet. No front pocket is nicer. If you have a front pocket, not with a button. Never, EVER, wear pleated trousers, they look awful on everyone. They make you look bigger than you are and give you wide hips. Colours for fair haired blue eyed people: light to dark shades of blue, greys, beiges, white, muted off-colours. Shoes should alweays be comfortable, and not too busy. Tricked out trainers make you look like a teenager. Simple lines but stylish, with a different detail. Same goes for shirts, you can have a solid colour shirt but with a nice detail on it that's not too big. Only tuck in shirts if it's a formal event...otherwise just leave it out. Jeans should not be too tight but shouldn't be too baggy. Nicely fitted around the bum, and a little looser on the leg, while still giving an idea of your overall shape. I hope that helps!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
