Wise, mature and stylish

As per request , I am bringing you couple of tips, how to dress, once you got more mature and wiser:)

Let's say we will talk about  look over 40.I have chosen pictures of celebrities that are over 40 and still look chic. Uma Thurman, Jennifer Aniston, Salma Hayek, Cheryl Crow or Nicole Kidman.

General rules to follow:

1. Find your style based on your personality, play with colors that are in your seasonal group and buy clothes that compliments your body type.These rulers should be followed, no matter what age you are in.

2. In general, forget mini skirts if your legs are not looking their best like in your 20th or 30th.

If they are still  looking great and you are for example a  fitness trainer or you are exercising regularly, you probably can afford to take mini.There is also couple of celebrities that wears mini well.

It depends also on the country you living in.I would not wear mini in Dubai but I can easily wear it in Europe.

  3. Have more classic items in your wardrobe:

• dark jeans fitted to your body shape -straight or boot cut is flattering for any type of body, 
• cardigans,
• long well fitted coat if you living in cold climate,
• knee length or above the knee  black dress,
• knee length or above the knee straight skirts,
• well fitted blazers,
• pair of black classic high heel shoes  
• well fitted underwear especially bras

 4. If you invest in to some high end bags, dresses,  jeans, scarf, shoes or whatever you love, don't forget to mix it with some less expensive pieces.It is a little too much if you are dressed in designer's pieces from top to toes.

5. Don't mix tight skirt or jeans with tight top.It would be too much and will look rude on you.

6. Stay up to date with trends but don't buy clothes that doesn't fit your figure. Choose some trendy accessories instead and show your sense for fashion.
For example: If flowers designs are in and you are winter type so flowery blouse or tops would look funny on you , buy something else with these designs. Bag , belt or shoes..Something that is away from your V.

7. Buy yourself a big mirror where you can see entire figure before you leave the house.Trust me it helps to avoid looking terrible.

8. Dresses, skirts or shorts should be knee or above the knee long. Length also depends on your vertical body type. If your legs are short do not go for longer lengths as it will shorten your body and can add some more weight.

9. There is nothing wrong with wearing sleeveless tops if you feel that your arms are good enough to show, even if you are over 40.

In respect with local culture in Dubai ,cover your arms once you go to shopping malls no matter what age you are.

As we are all different, these are only general rules to be followed.Personal consultations would have helped you to find out more about appropriate style for yourself.


Wish you a great day.........
