Trends in style for women are about putting your best foot forward with clothes that suit your body type. You will want to dress in a way that makes you feel both stylish and comfortable, which is why the key is finding what works for everyone. While there are trends in fashion coming up all the time, most of these trends do work well on stylish women. A few great ideas might be to wear simple jewelry or blouses with fun patterns paired with classic jeans or slacks.
Here are some of the hottest tips when it comes to being fashionable at any age.
Fit is the key
When shopping for new clothing it’s important to remember that fit is what matters most. Quality and fabric are important but when in doubt, go with what fits your body the best.
Stay simple
When you’re wearing a neutral color such as black or brown, add detail with accessories such as gloves or scarves so it’s not too plain. For example, if you were to wear a pair of skinny jeans and a blouse, add some chunky jewelry and matching shoes so it doesn’t look too flat and dull.
Colors
Trendy colors for this year include: neutrals like gray, silver, cream and white; bright blues; deep reds; purples; orange-reds; golden yellows; coral pinks; citron (yellow-greens); and emerald green. These colors work well for women over 50 because they are bright and will give you a fresh look without looking too young for your age.
Makeup
The key to wearing makeup is to use it in moderation. Be conservative, so foundation & lipstick are enough, rather than lots of eye makeup or powder.
Quality
Quality is the most important factor when it comes to fashion so invest in good clothing that will last you a long time, rather than going for something cheap that won’t last or fit well. With these tips you can update your wardrobe in a way that doesn’t make you look too trendy and young but does allow you to show off your sense of style in a new and fresh way.
Accessories
Accessorize your outfits with bangles, belts and scarves to make them look more stylish. They are a foolproof way to pull together any outfit. Stick with neutral colors such as cream, white, tan and black for these accessories.
Hair
Long hair can be a pain sometimes but it’s worth it if you have the right style that suits you. Whenever possible let your hair dry naturally because blow-drying can damage it greatly leading to split ends later on down the road. If this isn’t possible, invest in a good hair dryer so there’s no risk of damaging your hair from overheating.
Shoes
Shoes should always be comfortable first and foremost. If you’re purchasing new shoes, remember to bring a pair of your own so they can be sure it’s the right fit for you before making the purchase. Trendy styles include ballet flats, thigh high boots and wedges as well as lots of colorful sneakers.
Jewelry
There are thousands of different styles available when it comes to earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets these days but keep in mind that simpler is usually better because you want them to compliment your outfit not take away from it. Stick with neutrals like golds, silvers, cream/ivory colors or black because this will work better with more outfits. Avoid shiny metal finishes since these are too flashy for women over 50.
Body type
When choosing clothing it’s important to take into account your body type. For example, if you’re short it’s best to avoid high heels and focus on long jackets that skim the ground instead of shorter ones. Clothing for women over 40 should be comfortable and easy to move around in, not tight or restricting.
Confidence
Always own what you wear because confidence is the key factor when it comes down to style. Follow these tips but keep in mind that there are no rules so don’t worry about sticking to every single one all of the time. You can always mix & match different styles as well as flip flops with tights depending on the occasion and what makes you feel good at that moment.
Conclusion
These tips work for women of all ages because they’re simple and smart. Remember to keep your outfits classy and sophisticated and use bright colors and accessories to make them stand out, not be over the top like lots of younger girls tend to do. With these easy suggestions you can easily update your look without looking trendy or too young, giving off a more confident air instead which helps you feel better about yourself in the end.
