DRESSING stylishly no matter your age is easier than ever. And we can do this with a dash of fun. At a certain age, women are expected to give up the heels, wear short hairstyles, and, as they say, dress age-appropriate.
But what is age-appropriate? And, should our fashion be tied to our age?
At 30 and above, society forces us to question ourselves. Is a mini-skirt still cute? Does bright colours do anything for me? Should my clothes be fitted or loose?
I say one’s idea of fashion should always change with age and trends, but more importantly, fashion should be an expression of how we feel.
It’s complicated! But how should we dress in our 30s, 40s, 50s while staying trend conscious yet age appropriate?
Select your clothing by fit, not size. If you are a Size 4 but 6 fits a little better, go ahead and get the six!
If your clothing fits well no matter the size, you will look and feel so much sexier.
I personally love colours, but not many women past their mid-20s feel comfortable and can successfully pull off wearing colours.
If you are a little overwhelmed, it’s best you leave neon-coloured clothing and vibrant patterns to the much younger crowd. However, you may add bright accessories to the outfit.
Every trend won’t work for everyone. If you are a woman who dresses with the latest trend, always remember you must consider your body type, your age and your lifestyle. And that’s how you decide what trends are going to work for you.
I believe that while it’s what’s on the inside that truly counts, it never hurts to have smart, stylish attire that lets your personality shine no matter your age.
Don’t rely solely on what’s trending; it’s important to build your wardrobe. The right dress can change your night by giving you an extra dose of confidence; a perfect pair of shoes can keep you going, if you ever feel you have fallen behind.
I hope these fashion trends inspire you to look your best whatever your age.
