Fashion Over Forty

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

It is really a challenge keeping up with today’s quickly changing fashion styles.
You don’t want to dress like your mom and you definitely don’t want to dress like your 15 year old daughter, even if you can fit into her clothes. There is a fine line in looking like you are trying too hard.  Styles that are too young will only make  you look older. Please……no more mini skirts, even if you have great legs.
Our bodies are always in transition so your clothing should change as body begins to change. Don’t continue to wear clothing or colors near your face, that worked for you in your twenties. The key is to constantly refresh your look. Wear silhouettes that flatter your shape and learn how to adapt the trends that work for your body style. This is more important than wearing stylish clothing that doesn’t work for you. Don’t hide behind big, baggy clothing, think curvy. Shoulders and legs are the slowest to show signs of aging so play them up. Hand bags and shoes are the fastest and easiest way to update your look. If your hair is thinning, get a new haircut. Concentrate on developing a signature look rather than looking trendy.
