Today we are going to talk about fashion clothing ideas for women over 40. Have you noticed that in some pictures you look washed out, heavy, old than you actually are? The reason is you are wearing clothes that conflict with your natural beauty. The thing is, younger girls can easily pull off trendy outfits and still look pretty good, but the older ladies have to wear only those outfits what really make them look beautiful (the wrong style will age you fast). I have to say that not every woman over 40 can wear bright or totally printed outfits and look good, yep, some of you might look ridiculous. Nevertherless, the most important tip of buying clothes for women over 40 is to never say: “I am too old to wear this again!” Buy the things what you love and feel comfortable.
We see a cream white wrap cardigan worn atop cream tailored belted blouse styled with pleated black trousers, cute handbag and peep-toe cream patent cuffed heels. This outfit will ideally fit business ladies who are always on the rush.
Fashion tips of buying clothes for women over forty:
-Always take you body type into account, avoid buying clothes that do not flatter you;
– Avoid too much polished looks, better mix things and look playful;
– Avoid too cheap fabrics, better buy less often and look statement;
– Avoid wearing tight skirts/pants and tight tops, better go for loose top and tight bottom or vise versa;
– I highly recommend you to avoid wearing: really short shorts, miniskirts, ripped jeans, unfitted blazers and baggy tops;
– Determine your wardrobe essentials what will always be your saviors, in case if you do not know what to wear;
– You should own a long coat, beautiful dress, fitted long pants, fitted blazer, good pair of jeans, white button-down;
– You can always play with accessories: belts, hats and jewelry.
All these tips are not set in stone, that’s why it’s up to you to decide what works best for you.
