What styles of dresses to choose at 60 years old

A woman at any age remains a woman. She always needs to look attractive and elegant, evoke the admiring glances of others and conquer the representatives of the opposite sex with her appearance. Both very young people and women aged 60+ want this. Some ladies believe that at such a wise age you can already forget about fashion and wear what is comfortable, but stylists have a different opinion. They believe that a woman should always look attractive, and therefore they offer a large number of clothing models for older women.

What styles of dresses should women over 60 choose?

Clean and simple lines are considered the key to the success of any look, as a rustic yet elegant dress is so versatile. It is suitable for a lady of any age and build. A combination of a short dress with an A-shaped skirt is also possible. However, this product is best combined with thick tights, leggings or skinny jeans. This is an option for slender ladies.

Important! You shouldn’t blindly buy all the models presented in boutiques, for all ages. On a lady over 60, youthful dresses can look funny and ridiculous. Therefore, you should give preference to classic outfits, and dilute them with accessories from youth fashion.

Styles for plus size

In order for a woman to feel confident in any situation, you need to pay attention to loose-fitting or asymmetrical models that will help hide all problem areas of the body. It is better to choose a floor-length or midi length; a short dress will not suit everyone, especially ladies with curvy figures.

Stylists offer the following styles for obese women:

  • an elongated floor-length item in the Greek style (a universal option for evening wear, it drapes the body perfectly, allowing you to look feminine and very elegant);
  • “case” or “pencil” midi length (strict and laconic, suitable for overweight women, as it visually slims the figure);
  • A-line (straight cut or A-line will help hide figure imperfections, and will also elongate the silhouette if you choose the right pair of shoes).

In addition, fashion designers advise abandoning a large number of decorative elements and draperies. Too intrusive display of the dress will lead to the fact that the image becomes boring too quickly and does not allow one to appreciate the woman’s other advantages.

Plus-size women always look good in high-waisted dresses, at any age. This is a great outfit for an evening out or a walk with friends. This dress can be shorter, the main thing is that the shoes are chosen correctly. It is recommended to choose simple models with a laconic cut and original shades.

Styles for skinny people

Skinny women are always distinguished by the fact that they look great in dresses of almost any style.The category of women 60+ is no exception. A triple lady would look great in a fitted piece or a mid-length peplum dress. The image of an aristocrat will perfectly emphasize the elegance and femininity of the lady.

Important! Slender women can choose short models that perfectly emphasize the beauty of their legs and the lightness of the chosen set. An excellent solution for an everyday look or going with friends for a walk or to a cafe.

For thin women, stylists also suggest choosing beautiful asymmetrical dresses or items with clear lines that emphasize the hips, chest and narrow waist. They look businesslike, strict, but feminine and sophisticated.
