A few years ago, someone told me that there's nothing worse than wearing an outfit you don't feel comfortable in. It's advice that has stuck with me ever since.

I think back to times when I've worn ill-fitting dresses or outfits that weren't quite me, and remember spending the night either adjusting the dress or worrying that I don't look good in said outfit.

Since then I've made a conscious effort to wear things that make me feel confident, and I almost always come back to the same look when I don't know what to wear.

For me, that outfit is a classic combination of "jeans and a nice top".

I pair my favourite jeans with a black bodysuit, add as much or as little jewellery as I feel like and shoes to suit the occasion (usually pointy black heels). And Ialwaysfeel good in it.

I asked ourMamamiacommunity to share the outfit they feel most confident in, so you can take some inspiration or be reminded of what outfit that is for you.

Because we all deserve to feel good in the clothes we wear.

Kee

"A midi silk slip dress always feels like an easy win. Comfy, flattering and chic. Easy to dress up or dress down and go from day to night. Blazer on top with chunky rope sandals for a dressier look, or a denim vest with sneakers for a bit of an edge."

Talia

"High waist, loose-ish fitting jeans or pants with a crop situation and some comfy heels. I am short and curvy and feel like this flatters my shape best."

Meghna

"I pretty much live in jeans but when I need to feel like dressed up, I switch back to my Indian roots. For some reason I feel very pretty in my head when I switch to traditional wear!"

Rose

"My failsafe outfit is a midi length dress and this vintage jacket. The embroidered sunflowers and bees ALWAYS get compliments and being a really lightweight denim it works with a huge range of pieces underneath."

Laura

"A blazer over jeans or a pretty skirt works every time for me! I am obsessed with blazer-style jackets and I do have quite a few - mostly from Zara, Mango and Decjuba. I love the cooler months when I can chuck on a blazer and elevate my outfit while feeling the confidence levels rise!"

Empower

"My pandemic response has been to wear more and more bright colours. I can't smile in a mask but my outfits are colourful, friendly and fun."

Lily

"Jumpsuits - you don't have to think about coordinating bottoms and tops, can dress up or down and I always get compliments on this one. So comfy, cool and chic."

Katie

"A tent dress. I know they have no shape, but HOT DAMN they are comfy. I now have a small collection brewing in happy patterns, and they make me feel like myself."

Madeleine

"Jeans, a nice top and a mule! I always feel put together and can chuck on a baggy blazer if I'm ever cold."
