What you can and cannot look like after 50

Fashion for women over 50 is no different from trends for the fair sex, who are a couple of decades younger. What is important is not the clothes themselves, but the attitude with which a person wears these things and how competently she knows how to emphasize her advantages. Therefore, style largely depends on the psychological perception of the number in the passport.

Clothes color, prints, sequins, sparkles

Often women 50+ believe that fashion is for young people. Taking their favorite spectacular dress out of the closet, they habitually put it back, mistakenly believing that the time for dressing up has long passed and they need to dress in something more inconspicuous and baggy. Of course, this is the biggest misconception: even at 50+ you can look fashionable and stylish, just by choosing the right colors and excluding some details from your wardrobe.

The main fashion trend for women over 50 involves a minimum of bright accents and frilly details, such as sequins, massive prints and sharp transitions from one color to another.And even more so, you need to immediately abandon too revealing outfits - miniskirts, dresses with a deep neckline or open back, too transparent blouses and short shorts. Soft lines, strict cuts, conciseness and conservatism – this is what makes a woman 50+ fashionable and stylish.

Do not think that bright colors are not suitable for advanced age. The right combination of shades in clothes is the most important thing in choosing a wardrobe. For example, juicy and fresh shades will help you look visually younger: light green, terracotta, beige, soft lilac, pale raspberry. But you can emphasize the image with a sharp touch - a bright belt or scarf.

To hide figure flaws, wear dark-colored clothes with a classic cut.

Style Tips

1. Always give preference to high-quality clothes that fit well on your figure.
2. Whatever style you prefer, you should still focus on the classics. This applies to both evening wear and sportswear.
3. Buy clothes in soft colors. For example, classic dark blue, noble olive, fresh pearl pink, rich green.
4. Eliminate from your wardrobe such details as beads, sequins, fringe (if there is too much of it), chains. It is also worth paying special attention to accessories. It is better to make one appropriate accent in the form of bright beads than to hang yourself with many rings or bracelets. The most successful combination is beads and a bracelet or earrings and a ring.
5. For a casual look, you can choose cropped trousers in a neutral shade and complement them with comfortable ballet flats. This outfit, combined with a light blouse, is perfect not only for a walk, but also for a business meeting.
6. Black is, of course, a universal color, but don't make it the dominant color in your wardrobe. Believe me, a woman over 50 looks amazing in clothes of any neutral shade, if she chooses the right style. Wear loose-fitting trousers in bright vibrant colors, complement the look with a warm tweed jacket and low-heeled shoes, and you will undoubtedly attract attention and catch admiring glances.
7. Linen clothing is characterized not only by comfort and quality. In it you will look light and feminine.
8. You should avoid multicolors and cheerful prints. Calmer, pastel shades in clothes will make you look stylish and elegant.
9. Avoid tight, tight garments, shapeless robes, revealing tops and any other clothing that makes you feel insecure. The main requirement for a wardrobe is convenience and simplicity.
10. Also, forget about lush and massive things that will make your figure look baggy. But you shouldn’t give up shirts in your wardrobe. When skillfully combined with trousers or jeans, your look will become simply irresistible.

And the main rule of fashion for women over 50 is to always wear a smile on your face. This is an integral part of your femininity and charm at any age.
