FASHION FASHION for Denim for the 50s Dark wash, breathable denim with an elastic waist that does not dig into your tummy are perfect, but drop the old versions and go with brands that are continually innovating to cater to women over 40 and 50. Embrace colour Experiment with non-classic hues like turquoise, burnt orange, and salmon for a modern, sophisticated edge. Play up your waistline Slightly shorter tops that hit between the waist and head of your hip can create a slimming silhouette that showcases your natural curve. If your midsection isn’t your favourite, choose a higher rise pant to smooth and lengthen. Find your fit Nothing beats great tailoring. The difference between sophisticated and sloppy is all about the fit. Choose items with some structure over loose-fitting, baggy, or overly breezy styles. Fitted tops, ankle-fit trousers, and a great blazer should hang in every 50-something’s closet. Comfortable pieces Looking great doesn’t have to be uncomfortable, even when dressed to the nines. Choose soft fabrics with stretch, waistlines and silhouettes made to move. A flattering go-to dress Over the years, you’ve explored plenty of trends, and no doubt purchased some onetime-only dresses for special occasions. In your 50s, make sure you have at least one reliable go-anywhere, do-anything dress that fits like a dream. With a busy social calendar of weddings, family celebrations, and select dates, it’s worth investing in dresses that you love. A statement ring Think of this as a gift to yourself. Whether it’s an oversized, chunky turquoise ring or a showstopping cocktail cluster, whatever you choose should make you feel fabulous and unique. Investment shoes Your shoes may just become the starting point for your outfit. Dressy shoes like a brightly coloured pump, or even some designer flats can do wonders for an otherwise forgettable look. Sparkle In your 50s, embrace shimmer and subtle embellishments over loud-and-proud sequins Sequin gold dress monochrome bag 50 Embrace ‘70S Style At 50, your style game is important now more than ever. Attaining the milestone of a middle-age is no reason to let style fall to the wayside. It’s more of a reason to step up your game and dress sleeker than ever. By the time you reach your 50s, you’re a force to be reckoned with. You know your mind, you’ve figured out what works for you, and it’s finally time to put yourself first, whether that means focusing on your career, your hobbies, or learning something entirely new.

EVERY AGE FASHION 60 It is a decade of distinction and self-expression, tempered by the grace and wisdom that only a 60-something woman can possess. colourfil scarf bright colourful blouse Beaded wrap necklace betty irabor Colourful raw silk dress Embrace the unexpected Dressing in your 60s is all about the details. Like a gorgeous stand-up ruffled collar and a pair of flats with metallic embellishment. Look for pieces that feature a whimsical twist on a classic style. Balance timeless with trends Don’t let anyone tell you that you should ignore trends in your 60s! Seasonal colour palettes and fabrics are your oysters, and the perfect way to keep your wardrobe feeling current. By now, you know what styles and cuts fit you best, so start there and see what comes down the runway. Mix textures and metals Elevate an everyday look with artful layering. Pair soft knits with tweeds or raw silk with wool. Layer long necklaces or stack bangles in different metallics. The more limited your colour story, the more experimental you can get with your layers. Big patterns, bold colours By the time you have reached your 60s, your outlook is refreshing; you have learned not to take yourself or life too seriously. The smaller and safer the pattern, the more “granny” it can become. Go for a print with big, bright blooms. Eye-catching accessories Accessories like scarves, bags, and jewellery are your secret weapon. They offer an instant update to any outfit and can be a fun way to experiment with colours and patterns you do not typically wear. Stylish handbag April 14, 2019 / 7
