Every woman is beautiful at any age. The main thing is to be able to emphasize the advantages of each age. This is where hair, makeup, and, of course, wardrobe come to the rescue. Clothing plays a very important role in this regard. After all, it is known that people are greeted by their clothes.
Tips for choosing a style
Over time, many things change in a person’s life: environment, tastes, preferences. And this is natural. It's worse if there are no changes. The same goes for style. If you have formed your own style, then it naturally undergoes changes, while remaining in the same direction. But if you are used to following fashion trends, then at the age of 50 you will have to forcibly change your style.
Advice! In old age, you should not blindly follow the fashion trends of our time.
Current fashion trends are sometimes surprising, and not always in a pleasant way. Therefore, it is worth considering whether they need to be followed unconditionally. You can be fashionable and modern by having your own style that suits your age.After all, there are unshakable tenets of fashion that have not changed for a long time and remain at the peak of popularity. So, a basic wardrobe emerges.
Basic items in the wardrobe of a woman over 50
For each age, the base is made up of different things. If at a young age this is a tight-fitting pencil skirt above the knee and a blouse with a moderate neckline, then for an advanced age this may be inappropriate. You should also not go to extremes and switch to faceless and formless things. We present a basic wardrobe for women 50+, which will help highlight the advantages of age and create any look.
Classic pants. Classics never go out of fashion, that’s why classics are an exemplary object. At the age of 50, you should pay more attention to classic wardrobe items. Trousers can be chosen in black, light or dark gray.
Important! Pants should be straight and fitted at the hips. Forget about shapeless pants that supposedly hide imperfections. They will only make the situation worse.
You should also have light-colored, loose-fitting trousers in your wardrobe. But make sure they are not too wide or too tight. Add straight, undecorated jeans to your base.
On a note! Tapered pants are best left in the past.
Long black jacket. If at a young age they tend to choose shorter things, then to emphasize the elegance of old age, it is better to choose a jacket that reaches the hips.
Straight skirt to mid-knee. Tapered pencil skirts, as well as wide ones, should be left behind. Choose a classic option over dark colors.
Light-colored cashmere turtleneck and shallow scoop neck sweater. This pair will never go out of style and is suitable for creating any look.The main thing is to create it correctly.
Women's shirt with ¾ sleeves. Here you should also give preference to light colors.
Important! The fabric structure of turtlenecks, sweaters and shirts should be smooth. This will help draw attention away from wrinkles.
A loose, medium-length coat. Make sure that the coat is not too loose, making your figure shapeless. At the same time, you should not buy models that are too fitted.
This is the basic set of a classic wardrobe for a woman over 50. Now let’s talk about how to dilute it.
How you can diversify your wardrobe
There is no need to stop at the basics, content only with classic things and neutral tones. We advise you to add bright notes to your wardrobe, but you need to proceed with caution.
You shouldn’t chase youth and hide your age. Sometimes it looks ridiculous. There are many benefits to being 50+. And the main task here is to emphasize elegance.
If young ladies try to stand out in every possible way, creating unusual images, then in our case it is necessary to direct all means to achieve elegance, even with bright objects.
So, forget about fashionable oversized pants, 7/8 trousers, an abundance of accessories, ruffles and lace. Try to keep accessories to a minimum, but don't forget about them.
So, you can diversify the image:
- Bright plain trousers or shirt. But don’t combine them in one image!
- A checkered warm stole.
- Light tulle midi skirt.
- An elegant hat.
- A bright neckerchief. But not colorful motives!
- Long gloves up to the elbows.
- Denim shirt.
Also don't forget good shoes. If you prefer a heel, it should not be too high, and the instep should be comfortable. Shoes with wicker motifs are perfect.
Important! All materials must be of high quality.
Don't try to hide your flaws. It is better to emphasize the dignity and elegance of venerable age.
