  6. Smooth fabric will make the skin visually fresher and “smooth out” wrinkles. Crinkled fabrics are not suitable for mature ladies.
  7. Hide forearms. In your summer wardrobe you want to have more revealing clothes. But older ladies should avoid exposing their forearms, so you need to select products with sleeves.

Important! For women with leg problems (varicose veins or spider veins), trouser suits and stylish jeans are the best solution. They should become the basis of a wardrobe to hide existing flaws.

Stylists fully recommend exclude various retro style items from your wardrobe. Even in the case when the item is completely new and has recently come off fashion catwalks, it is still categorically unsuitable, since it visually ages a mature woman.

Reviews and comments
R Raida:

Hello! I always look at all the notes about clothes 50+++... They all show beautiful, slender women with a maximum size of 48-50 and good height.Not everyone can look like this, but you want to dress decently and tastefully. Show more real models!

N Natalia:

Dear author, Elena Evdokimova! I don’t know how old you are and what country you live in, but the fact that you have never seen women over 50 is OBVIOUS! Firstly, there are practically no curvy women with a pronounced waist at this age, because menopause completely spoils the figure, gaining 10-12 kg to the usual weight and losing weight at this age is not only impossible, but is categorically not recommended. Even with active sports and other problems with the body at this age, the figure deteriorates. The legs are often covered with varicose veins, the knees are very ugly, the neckline and upper arms also have loose skin according to age. But everyone, absolutely everyone, stylist bloggers, persistently post photos of youthful women (maximum 40 years old) with ideal forms.. Are there really no 55-65 year old ordinary women in your environment on whom you would show your talent as a stylist? And we would be very grateful to you for real advice in choosing clothes, and not ideal ones. I can offer you 10-12 of my peers with different weights and heights - dress us beautifully, PLEASE!

IN Faith:

I constantly look through the sections for those who care.... But, practically, in the overwhelming majority, there is no desire to take anything into account.
I completely agree with Natalia’s opinion about us, Russian women, and recommendations and photos!
And further. In your article, as in many who subscribe to the term “stylist,” advice and photos often contradict. Look through the article again: for example, ruffles, ....
It’s somehow sad from such presentation of material by specialists.

AND Irina:

I agree with the three previous comments.
