Fashionable maturity: casual style for women over 50

Casual is an excellent choice for women of any age. Both girls and ladies over 50 can find their source of inspiration in this style. If an 18-year-old young lady allows herself to go out “to the city” in bright and provocative clothes, then those who are older should choose something more modest. Exactly casual will help you look fashionable and “expensive” at the age of 50, as they say, stylish and tasteful.

Features of casual clothing

This genre is something mixing fashion with classics. It is also called “urban” for the opportunity to be dressed up on the street. Casual is an eclectic look at fashion, a mix of desire and following current trends. Women over 50 are happy to choose this interesting, noble, practical and, most importantly, beautiful style of clothing.

Its characteristic features:

“Muted”, “matte”, restrained shade range

The colors are not flashy. White, milky, black, brown, gray fit perfectly here.Rich “expensive” colors are also quite suitable - burgundy, malachite, dark blue, chocolate, dusty rose. When choosing, you must be guided by the color type of appearance and the event that you plan to attend in this ensemble.

Allowed noble prints of dim contrast. Geometry looks good - checkered, striped, small polka dots. It is better not to choose various inscriptions and tiny images. Plain clothes of two or three colors in the outfit would be ideal.

High-quality materials, the durability of which is beyond doubt

These are all types of fine wool, matte leather, expensive cashmere, pashmina, as well as linen, cotton, silk, knitwear, tweed, Chanel. All fabrics must be good, and clothes must be perfectly tailored and fit well.

There are no deliberately seductive details

Deep neckline, thin straps, open belly, for example. It is better to hide areas that have lost elasticity and youth under clothing.

Relatively loose styles

You don't need robes, but you shouldn't have too tight fitting parts either. It is quite possible to create a feminine image with the help of certain elements.

Bright details, accessories, and decorations are used to a minimum

The latter are preferable in small sizes and quantities, made of noble metals. You can’t add a cheap bright bag or scarf to your look.. Only expensive materials and preferably without flashy decor.

General style recommendations

Pastel colors are the number one choice. Any color is best combined with white, milky or other light “airy” tone. Dark shades “close to the face” are not recommended, as this will age and highlight skin defects. As a last resort, let it be a bright color, but not black or gray. Of course, this applies to the underwear and does not affect coats, jackets, jackets, cardigans, etc.

Fashionable today total onions must be used with great caution, because he is very obliging. It is better to combine different types of clothing, then the image will be divided into parts by “invisible lines”, making the figure appear slimmer.

An excellent choice would be adding discreet expensive accessories to your look. This could be, for example, a silk scarf or stole. It’s worth buying a few classic “noble” things to dilute this or that onion.

Choose a tunic-type top, leg-length or straight trousers. Yes, wide palazzos and culottes are in fashion, but putting on such an obligatory thing is quite dangerous at this age. But there is always room for experimentation.

Welcome A-line, loose medium-width trousers, classic jeans, comfortable low-heeled shoes. Any look should be complemented with accessories; a “naked” ensemble of clothes will look sparse. You can have a blast with a spacious, fashionable, expensive bag.

Taboo – excessive decoration, an abundance of ruffles, flounces, pendants, fringe. There is no need for things strewn with rivets, pyramids, zippers, buttons, iron and plastic elements, appliqués and glued parts. This also includes holes in jeans, an abundance of bracelets, and huge jewelry.

Important! Carelessness and deliberate “understatement” in the image, so fashionable this year, should not be present in the casual wardrobe of a woman over 50 years old. All her clothes and ensemble as a whole should look neat, “brand new.”

Items for a basic wardrobe

The basis of casual style looks for a 50-year-old woman can be:

1. Classic jeans. It is better to have several copies. For example, narrow dark ones for creating strict looks and light loose ones for casual outfits. A minimum of decor, abrasions, stitching and bright appliqués.
2. T-shirts and long sleeves. It is better to purchase monochromatic items in light versions. Striped, discreet prints look good. Excellent as an underwear in looks with a jacket, blazer, sweatpants, or skirt.
3. Shirt – classic and fashionable. All-white, milk, perhaps striped, denim are desirable. Black or dark gray is not recommended. The bottom of any model should not be classic straight - a small trapezoid, small slits on the sides, a hem in the form of a circle is a priority.
4. Blouse and tunic. We recommend a simple straight ¾ sleeve, lowered bat, with a rolled-up cuff. Raglan and T-shirt bows are not recommended for non-sports bows. If the shoulder line and arm skin are without flaws, you can try a sleeveless blouse. It is better to choose loose styles, maximum semi-tight.
5. Jackets. But not classic ones, but so-called smart models. Slightly narrowed, with rounded shelves in front, fitted, shortened - these options will fit into any casual look. Choose plain jackets made from quality materials.

8. Straight or A-line dress. The ideal option is knee-length and denim. As a belt, you can choose a leather cord that does not tighten, but lies on the hips. This item is perfect for both summer and off-season outfits. In addition, denim is slimming and does not restrict movement.

Main “refreshing” details

Of course, at 50 you want to look younger. But we will not achieve this with bright colors and vulgar clothing. And some wardrobe items can help you look fresher. Recommended items:

1. White or off-white blouse, shirt, tunic. That is why we recommend using such a detail “as close to the face as possible” in any ensemble. Thin cotton, opaque chiffon, crepe, and linen have proven themselves to be excellent.
2. Scarves, stoles made of guipure, silk, pashmina. Neutral colors, expensive materials, and shades according to the color type of appearance are welcome.

5. Sunglasses. Choose something between a fashionable and classic model. For example, a great choice is rei-ban. Black, brown, metallic glasses look great. In summer you can use white ones.
6. Thin gold or silver decorations. Jewelry in small quantities will emphasize the nobility of age.
7. Beads from small stones. An excellent choice for thin knitted items and minimalist blouses.
