If you are going through a fashion crisis, then don’t worry, 50 is not a death sentence. It's just time to choose a completely new look for you. You'll learn how to dress better, how to understand your body, and other tips to help you pull off that fashion magic.
Understand how you like to dress
Get to know yourself and your fashion taste. Look for inspiration in magazines, social media or Google.
Think about yourself. Explore your taste, the clothes you prefer and how you style them. But most importantly, be confident in your choice. You can create any look as long as you feel comfortable and happy in what you wear.
If you're not sure what your fashion taste is, find inspiration that's right around the corner. Pick up a magazine or cell phone and start browsing.
Re-evaluate your figure
When choosing an outfit, make sure it fits your body well. Oversized, small or tight clothing will make your body look ugly or bulky.If you don't know what clothes suit your body shape, we'll help you figure out the 5 body types.
In people with an apple body type, the stomach and bust stand out, while the waist is less noticeable. Focus on the waist, neckline, legs and vertical lines. Add a belt over your belly to define your waist. Wear shorts and V-necks to draw attention to your legs and upper body. To avoid unwanted bumps on your sides, wear clothes that drape.
Women with a pear-shaped body have hips that are wider than the shoulders, hips that are round, legs that are shorter than the upper body, and a prominent waist. Make your clothes work for you by focusing on your upper body. A bright colored top with dark jeans makes your thighs look missing. Wear dresses with the top half tight and the bottom half loose at the hips. Wear long cardigans or coats that do not hug your hips.
The inverted triangle figure has small hips, large legs, the top half is larger than the bottom, and the shoulders are wider than the hips. Unlike the pear shape, the inverted triangle requires you to focus on the lower half of your body. Wear brightly colored pants, attractive shoes, jackets that add structure to the shoulders, and belts that add structure to the waist.
Those with an hourglass figure have a well-shaped waist, large hips and bust. Wear clothes that hug your figure to show off your exemplary curves. For evening outings, choose tight dresses. To show off your waist, wear a coat with a belt. Wear tops with a V-neck or boat neckline to show off the curves of your collarbone.
A rectangular body shape has equal width hips and shoulders, a small bust, a flat bottom half and fewer curves.Find clothes that shape your body. To create curves, wear wide-leg pants and a belt at the waist to create an hourglass shape. To add volume to your bust, wear shirts with a halter neckline. This will add volume and elegance to your back and shoulders. If you have a certain body part that you admire so much, show it off with pride! If you love your arms and back, choose sleeveless and backless tops. If you think your legs are attractive, wear an open-front skirt. More on this later.
Know which colors suit your skin tone
When choosing outfits and jewelry, think about what colors go well with your skin tone. If you don't know what skin tone you have or what colors go with it, let's get straight to the point.
There are 3 types of skin tones:
- warm;
- cold;
- neutral.
For warm skin tones, red, orange, golden honey, amber and golden yellow are suitable colors. Those with cool skin tones should choose bright blue, deep shades of purple, lavender and sapphire. As for neutral colors, soft pink, calm blue, light peach and dusty pink will suit you. The color wheel is a lifesaver when choosing colors that should go together.
How to determine your skin tone? Good question. There are three ways to do this:
- First, look at your veins. If your veins are green, you have a warm skin tone. If they are blue or purple, then you have a cool tone. If you cannot distinguish the color of your veins, then you have a neutral tone. You can see this if your complexion (natural skin color) is olive.
- Secondly, if you have no luck with the veins, try the white paper test. Hold the paper close to your skin. If your skin turns yellow next to white paper, it means you are hot. If your skin is pink, bluish-red or pink, then you are a cold person. If none of the above, then you are neutral.
- Third, determine your skin tone through jewelry. Take silver and gold jewelry and see which one complements your skin. Gold always goes with warm tones, and silver with cool and neutral tones.
Go through your closet
After assessing the first 3 points, go through your closet. Choose pieces that complement your style, body shape and skin color. If your closet is overcrowded, it will be too cluttered to find the things you need in your life. Not only that, but you're wasting space on clothes you don't need in your wardrobe. So feel free to go for new looks and perfect clothing combinations.
