I’m tall with broad shoulders, and therefore, I like clothes with a bit of a swagger – mannish clothes that you can wear with a lot of feminine, sweet tops. I put my own looks together – a favourite coat, a bit of vintage, a bit of high street. Joanna Lumley Read Quote
Clothes that are too tight make you look bigger. If you’ve been trying to shed pounds, and it doesn’t go, buy the next size up. I never care what size my clothes are. Joanna Lumley Read Quote
