Fashion Guide For Women Over 50
No matter how old you get, one thing remains the same – you can look stylish. To have the sensibility of how to flaunt your body is the key to being chic and sophisticated. We have gone through the guides from top stylists and rounded up some helpful fashion tips for women over the age of 50.
So let’s explore the world of over 50 fashion, starting from… Jeans and jackets!
Shop for the best fitting jeans and jackets
Fitted jeans are a must to look rightly styled. The length and cut of the jeans are crucial. Jeans can either give a perfect shape to your body or ruin it, so get them tailored, in case you don’t find the best fit in a store!Also, wear belted trench coats or snug jackets to the length up to your hips, as they look great. Style them with everything from pants to jeans and dresses to skirts to create a polished appearance.
Remember, fitting is the key!
Invest in classic colors
A good selection of colors is essential for every mature woman. Go for colors that are young but sophisticated and safe. Black, white, and grey are timeless colors, and so are beige and pink. So next time you step into a store, look objectively at such classic colors. You can mix these with other beautiful colors to feel more youthful and jazzy.
Do note that it is a big no for immature or obnoxious hues, as they can hurt your styling and make you look a little out of place. Also, make sure you avoid printed clothing, as it can look quite unflattering.
Get yourself a beautiful bag and comfortable footwear
Accessories are love! While bags are functional, of course, they are capable of transforming your outfit too. Beautiful designer bags capture attention and reflect your lifestyle choices. You can play around with their sizes and designs – oversized or super tiny, quadrilateral or round, pick the ones you like to create your personal style.
Furthermore, when it comes to styling, forgetting footwear is not an option! You need to choose footwear that is comfortable and supports your posture, yet matches the rest of the outfit and its color scheme. We say kitten heels, wedges, and casual sneakers are all that you’ll need!
Choose dainty jewelry
A lot of women like to wear big statement jewelry and sure, it works sometimes, but other times it may look unsophisticated and over-styled. Big and bold jewelry pieces sometimes pop your outfit in the wrong way. A wise choice would be to wear dainty (small and lightweight) jewelry most of the time. Studs, delicate rings, bracelets, and necklaces can complete your look and let you get many compliments!
Shapewear is a good idea
With age, our body starts to look saggy – it is quite natural. This is the reason why you should invest in good-quality shapewear. To see yourself in the right shape, shapewear gives a perfect helping hand. It is comfortable and makes you look sexier. Proper shapewear helps you get smooth lines, provides support to your body, and prevents humpback, flat hip, bosom prolapse, bosom flat, and pail waist.
Nevertheless, that wouldn’t mean always wearing it – Just use it when you feel the need to be more shapely, or when it fits your outfit idea!
Take good care of your nails and hair
Having your hair done and nail manicured can take your style a long way. Just a little care for your nails and hair makes a huge difference to your looks. Visit a salon for regular haircuts and manicures. Ask your stylist about the best hair styling options to achieve a feminine and elegant look.
You can even ask your stylist for the best options for the specific outfit you’re planning to wear! A different perspective can go a long way.
Last but not least … Always look for clothes that make you feel elegant and confident!
Nothing makes a woman more attractive than her confidence. When women at fifty understand their persona and know the best of their style, they feel confident and comfortable in their skin. Pick clothes and accessories that make you feel smart and attractive – that’s all that matters.
To sum it up, trends may come and go but what makes you stand out is your charm and confidence. Stay elegant, stay confident and stay classy!
