Fashion Tips For 50+ women



If you are a fifty plus woman there are a few fashion rules you might find helpful in achieving a sexy, stylish appearance:

Re-evaluate yourself

Lots of things change with age, so make sure you re-evaluate your figure type and face shape. You need to dress to flatter who you are now, rather then trying to get back what's gone. Your bra size, or lingerie needs may have changed also, so get fitted again for these items.

Don't be a bag lady

Getting older doesn't mean it's time to hide your body under baggy smocks, or sweat suits. Choose well cut tailored clothing, or pieces that drapes nicely. Fabric is often they key so don't scrimp in this department. Look for silks that hang beautifully on the body without clinging and wool blends in tailored pieces, because they offer structure. Palazzo pants and stretch jeans are comfortable, but not dowdy in the pants department. Floaty silk blouses, or semi fitted button front tops look great. In the dress department semi fitted styles tend to work best.

Enlist some support

There are lots of clever fashion garments today that can help lift and shape your figure. These can help take years off your body. There are supportive swimsuits that offer tummy panels, stockings that reduce the width of your thighs and butt, and virtually every imaginable lingerie solution to improve your appearance.

Ditch anything childish

If you want to look stylish stay clear of anything obviously juvenile, for example cute looking prints, logos and trends you only see in stores aimed at teens. Dressing in young women's clothing won't make you look youthful; it could actually make you look silly. It is far better to stick to

Wear color on top

As we age, we have a tendency to loss pigment in both our hair and face. Some of this can be counter balanced with hair dye and make up, but it is also beneficial to wear a flattering color on your top half. This will help you to avoid looking washed out and tired.

Finally some key items to avoid wearing; pleated high waist skirts, fleecy vests, pants that are baggy through the bottom region but tapered at the ankle, and over sized, shapeless tops and cardigans.
