Natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and cashmere feel comfortable and are simply better for the skin. A pair of white linen pants is easy to mix and match with colored or printed tops.
It's not about age; it's all about the fit when it comes to wearing skinny jeans. You just need to adjust the style to your changing body shape. To get the correct fit, look at the waist rise, the upper leg, and the lower leg. Use this combination and you will get the perfect pair of jeans every time.
Leggings are one of the most disputed items of clothing for older women. Some of us over 50 swear by our leggings, while others are appalled by the fact that older women still wear leggings. I say, to each her own. There is no right or wrong answer to wearing leggings after 50.
Headbands are the best way to glam up your attire. They quickly transform you into a diva turning heads. “Headbands can be fine at any age, but as a mature woman, I'd steer clear of flowers, bows, and sparkly little girl styles,” said a fashion stalwart on being asked about whether older women should flaunt headpieces.
Pick subdued colors, rather than flashy colors. Older women tend to wear neutrals: black, grey, brown, white, and so on. (Of course they can wear any color, but these tend to be staples of an adult wardrobe). Avoid colors that tend to be worn by children, such as bubblegum pink.
Black (not graphite, grey, or faded black) is one of the most basic but fab shades to have in your wardrobe since it will always make you look younger, more beautiful, and more powerful. A black maxi dress is a perfect fit to make an impression and look younger at the same time!
No one is too old for any trend (heck, we're literally dressing in pleated, uniform-like skirts years after being in school), but in case you need a reminder, here are a few my favorite styles that anyone can wear, even if you're 103.
They are timeless, and perfect for women over sixty. Choose denim shorts that are just above the knee, and wear with a simple T-shirt, top or tunic for a laid-back look. Linen and linen-look shorts are also a good wardrobe staple for summer.
Generally, these colours will make anyone appear older: black, cool dark brown, fiery red, yellow blonde, mousy blonde and dark grey. There's a common opinion that platinum blonde and silver hair dye age you, but we don't believe so.
Clothing for senior citizens must be soft, comfortable and gentle on the skin. They should be slightly loose so as to give them a convenience in wearing them. Loose fitting clothes are also easy to dress and undress. Elastic should be provided at the waist for men's pants and for women's skirts.
“Yes, absolutely!” says Donna. “If you feel comfortable in skinny jeans, they can look very chic. A pair of dark blue, black or dark grey jeans are the most flattering and versatile in your wardrobe.”
A shimmering top, a fancy blouse, or a baby doll dress simply don't go well with a stretchy, tight pair of leggings. Resist the temptation to be too adventurous with your style, as leggings are not sophisticated enough for dinner dates or other more formal events.
Leggings look great with knee-high boots, sandals, flip-flops, or even low-cut boots. If you wear your leggings with heels or pumps, make sure that they match your shirt and that you don't look too trashy. Leggings can also look good with ballet flats or moccasins, as long as the shoes go with the rest of the outfit.
