Look at knee length wool coats from J Crew, H&M, Ralph Lauren, etc. A fabulous wool coat looks great over any outfit, especially when paired with a great scarf (wool or silk scarves would both work) and leather gloves (or cashmere gloves). Also look for a nice trench coat from Coach, Coach Outlet, H&M, for fall and spring. Buy your coats first then choose bags to go with them to make the look cohesive. Coach Outlet is a great resource for bags. I have a large leather Coach outlet tote that looks great with both a trench and a wool coat. I also have a small patent leather shoulder bag that also works with either coat. Just make sure your bag color works with both the winter coat and the trench.

I like those skinny silk scarves from brands like Burberry, Coach, Gucci, etc. They look great with casual denim button downdown shirts and with dressier blouses and blazers. Examples:

Scarves like these are easy to throw on and dress up an outfit (even joggers).

Look for a blazer that you cannthrow on over a t-shirt. I recently bought a great Anne Klein blazer from TJ Maxx that looks great over a t shirt and casual pants.

Not the OP, but thank you! I like your suggestions and the links.

Not OP but love the burberry from Bloomingdales.

Start with not wearing your husband’s tighty whitey’s. 😁

I think painted toenails is an easy one. I never much do manicures but painted toenails always make me feel more feminine/pretty. You didn’t mention makeup so it’s not clear you have that down or don’t wear any. If the latter just try a tinted lip balm or a lipstick. These two would make you feel more feminine even in some comfy athleisure. Good luck OP.

First stop is not to wear DH’s tighty whiteys

Get a pair of Frame jetset jeans and some nice sweaters from Vince or Jenni Kayne, get your nails/eyebrows/hair done, wear gold hoop earrings, invest in a Saint Laurent bag (College or the new le 5 a 7 hobo) if your budget allows.

This time of year, look for a couple of cute feminine hats. They can look great and add style, all while keeping you warm and hiding a bad hair day.

Awesome sweat pants and slippers
Cashmere sweaters around the house

Ask for fancy loungewear for Christmas

I'm in a similar boat, and for me, jewelry has been a big boost!

In recent months I have bought a couple of stackable gold rings and bracelets, plus a necklace. I wear most of them 24/7 and they always make me feel feminine and put together. Look for simple, understated styles (paperclip chains, small bezel-set diamond accents, etc.) I've had good luck at babygold.com, but there are tons of options out there.

Tuck your te$ticles and wear a gaffe.

Yikes. I would rec therapy and a great gym membership first (think St James, Lifetime, Equinox) and then look at new hair cut/color and wardrobe after a few months of that.
