No matter how old a woman is, she always wants to be beautiful, well-groomed and fashionably dressed. It is difficult to meet the last criterion, because fashion is very changeable and capricious. If just yesterday the trends included total looks in black, today everyone is simply obsessed with animal prints - leopard or tiger prints.
It’s easy to imagine a young girl in leopard print trousers, and in most cases she will look more or less good in them. But you want to be fashionable even after 40... So, you are 40, or even 45, and you desperately want to wear leopard print clothes, but are afraid of looking like an “overripe berry”? Take a look here and you will find out why leopard print is dangerous after 40, and how you can, and even should, wear it.
When “leopard” is prohibited
Leopard print is considered universal and can be worn by almost every woman and even man. However, in trying to dress “expensively and richly,” ladies of Balzac’s age often make typical and unforgivable mistakes:
- Selecting a total look with one print.Any outfit where each of its components is either polka dots or flowers greatly hurts the eyes and creates the effect of an overloaded image. Is it possible to overload the image of a woman over 40? No, and again no, so you will have to give up wearing all the things from your wardrobe with a leopard pattern at the same time.
- “Upper” made of thin knitwear. Bodysuits, turtlenecks and sweaters of fine fabric, even with fashionable patterns, look killer (in the bad sense of the word) on a no longer young figure. It shines through just where it is not needed, absolutely not emphasizing what we would like.
- Love the leopard print bottom. The Internet is full of videos and memes in which women in leopard print leggings become objects of ridicule and discussion. Don't want to join their number? Avoid wearing trousers, leggings or jeans with animal prints.
- Ignoring details. Even the most boring and monotonous “look” can be refreshed with well-chosen details and accessories. For example, the top and bottom in dark colors can be highlighted with a belt, neckerchief and bag in popular colors. This option is perfect for older women, allowing them to look stylish and fashionable at the same time.
- Neckline and mini. It is a priori forbidden to wear short skirts and dresses with huge cutouts on the back or chest after 40, and if these things are also decorated with an animalistic pattern, it is forbidden to go out in them.
Interesting! Oddly enough, but, according to fashion designers, the items prohibited in popular colors include not bodysuits and leggings, but socks.
When the presence of “predatory” colors in an image is appropriate
Have you still not given up on the idea of joining the ranks of fashionistas, and still want something with leopard print? Check out the following tips:
- Choose a loose top. An oversized jacket or loose-fitting blouse will look great in this color. Fashionable, stylish and youthful, because this is the effect we achieve.
- Experiment, but wisely. You should not dress too pretentiously and shockingly; this is the destiny of Zhanna Aguzarova, and not an adult and wise woman. Leopard print items should complement and refresh the look, and not make it too unusual.
- Buy a green leopard. Or yellow. Or red, generally not the same as usual. A blouse or top with an animal print in an unusual color can be worn under a jacket or spring trench coat and will look stunning.
- Pay attention to details. Fashionable colors may be present on the cuffs and collar of a shirt or jacket. Visible on the lining or cuffs of trousers - in either case, fashion rules will be followed.
- Buy shoes. Pumps with ombre flowing into an unusual color look unusual and very sexy. Low boots, ankle boots or sandals - it’s very easy to choose shoes that are fashionable.
Even at 40 years old, you can follow fashion trends while remaining an elegant and sophisticated lady. The main thing is not to forget about the advice of fashion stylists and take into account the features of your appearance.
