Recently, Questions raised the question of how a woman aged 40 and older should dress, what she can wear and what she can’t. And although I still have a very long time to live until I turn 40, the topic struck a chord. After all, the point is not in a specific number - 30, 40, 50 years old, but in a rather contradictory trend among our women. On the one hand, after 25 years, our girls strive to look younger by hook or by crook. It seems to me that in no other country are they more concerned with the question of “how to look younger than your age” than in the CIS countries. On the other hand, many women very early develop boundaries and taboos on the topic “how decent (respectable, status-worthy, appropriate) it is to wear certain things at my age.” Add here a list of age-related myths and legends like:

Every woman after n years should have a mink coat
- after n years a woman should wear only gold (and diamonds)
- after n years you need to use only complex, heavy perfumes; green, citrus scents are only for young people
- shoes and bags should only be expensive and only leather, unless you are a teenager. And sneakers and sneakers are only for the gym or hiking, for life only elegant shoes
- after n years, long hair needs to be cut off so as not to look like an “aged mermaid”

My mother is 46 years old. She is slim, fit, well-groomed, she has shoulder-length hair, and she wears about the same thing as me. Sometimes we change things, our sizes are the same. At the same time, she looks appropriate and good. Not as a young middle-aged woman, but as a modern adult woman, beautiful and confident. When I turn 46, I want to look like her. And not only me, many of my friends want to look the same at this age. But they are often embarrassed by their mothers, who are respectable and dressed “expensively and elegantly.”

Wardrobe for a 40-year-old woman - what should not be there

Now I will list the things that turn a woman in her prime and age into a middle-aged aunt.

- Mink (astrakhan, fox, etc.) coat. For some reason it is believed that the real and successful woman there must be one. Even if it is sewn from pieces and bought on credit. It seems to have status and beauty. Another argument is warmth. Although now there are a lot of other clothes that are lighter, warmer and more modern than a fur coat made from stretched pieces. It is inconvenient to ride in and public transport and in the car. And I’m generally silent about the walk. Abroad, fur coats made from natural fur are worn mainly by older ladies; it looks appropriate on them. And for everyone under 65, it adds not respectability, but years. And if the fur coat is from the budget sector (for mink up to 150 thousand rubles), then it all looks like a pathetic attempt to look like someone you don’t like. Only in one case is buying a fur coat justified. If your work involves pretentious snobbish clients and partners, and you represent your company. But in this case, the fur coat must be expensive, and not an economy class mink for 70 thousand rubles.

- Gold jewelry in the “Soviet chic” style or “designer’s” silver jewelry with gems. Although jewelry and its lovers are very different in style and message, they also have something in common. Old-fashioned. Although many people confuse old-fashioned with classic or ethnic. No, classics and ethnics also change over the years, fashion affects it in the same way as other styles. And classic design jewelry, just like the author-designer-folk has also changed over the years. Nowadays there is a lot of gold and silver jewelry that looks modern and fashionable. You can even find inexpensive options. But don’t forget that fashion for them will change over time, and it’s unlikely that your daughter or granddaughter will want to wear them. Therefore, it is easier to buy good jewelry, cheaper and more practical. And the choice of stylish jewelry is much wider than jewelry.

- Ladies' crocodile leather bags in rectangular and square shapes. Another piece of trash, codenamed “Italian bag”. I don't know where they actually make them. Maybe in Italy, there are many small handicraft firms that will sew anything. But it looks like something from the last century, when such a style and workmanship were an attribute of a chic foreign lady. In the eyes of our Soviet women. And now 30-40 years have passed and finally our ladies can wear something similar. But the problem is that fashion has passed, and today’s “chic foreign ladies” wear a different style. And such models are left only to thrifty European old women over 70. And yes, it doesn’t even look like a Birkin.

- Silk scarves. Another attribute of European grandmothers of deep retirement age, as a reminder of the fashion of the last century. These scarves look appropriate on them, tied in 1000 and 1 ways. On a modern woman, a silk scarf looks old-fashioned. No matter how expensive and beautiful it is. I have a friend who collects Hermes scarves. But she is a modern woman, so she collects them, not wears them.

- Knitted tight-fitting blouses with print. Our women love them so much. Not only are tight knits suitable only for those with slender and toned figures, but these prints are real style killers. Even a well-groomed, youthful woman turns into an aunt in them.

- Classic classic. I don’t even know what else to call this trend. Plain straight trousers, a classic knee-length coat, a white classic shirt, a plain classic jacket, a pencil skirt, a sheath dress, a chiffon or silk blouse. It seems that there is nothing criminal in the things themselves, I’m not against the classics. The trouble is that many ladies choose “eternal” styles. You look at a blouse, jacket or skirt like this and you won’t understand what year it is. It could have been worn 20 years ago, or 30. There are no identifying marks of the time. Especially if such things are not diluted with anything, but are worn all together. Given that there is modern classics. It seems to be the same classic things, but with trendy details and accents. And of course, they are diluted, if not with trendy things, then at least with a modern base. Otherwise, you get the feeling that you bought these things 20 years ago and still wear them, and how old are you then...

- Highlighting, “Soviet accountant” haircut, scorched perhydrol. Hair length does not directly depend on age. Someone in their youth may go short haircuts, and with age they will only emphasize all age-related imperfections, but long hair will hide everything. And for some people a haircut will refresh them. There are no ready-made recipes here. But whatever the length of the hair, the haircut should be modern, whether for short or short hair. long hair. Even classics like bob or pixie have their own trends. If you've been wearing the same haircut for many years, this is a reason to change something. Too contrasting hair colors can also accentuate wrinkles. Not to mention the fact that naturalness has long been in fashion. Radical colors - black, white, red-red, eggplant - look old-fashioned. And the highlighting is so trashy, it’s as if you turned gray overnight.

- Caps with rhinestones, berets and hats. Hats with a scattering of rhinestones were supposed to be intended for teenagers. But teenagers don’t wear this, but 30-40 year old ladies actively wear them. It looks neither modern nor mature. If you like tight-fitting beanie hats, take them without rhinestones and in the current style, it also changes. Berets are our favorite accessory for pensioners; they wear them en masse. Therefore, when you see an older woman in a beret, associations do not arise with France. Hats will wear out old-fashioned. The older the woman, the more old-fashioned they look on her. Because the hat is also a greeting from the last century. In the current day-to-day trends, she has never gone beyond staged photographs of fashion bloggers.

Of course, this list is not complete. But these are the things that many women over 40 love to wear, sincerely believing that they look more respectable and better in them.

How to dress stylishly for a woman over 40.

The trick is that there are no specific things that should make up the wardrobe of a 40-year-old woman. You can wear any thing, the main thing is to follow a few rules.

You can adhere to any style - from hipster and trendy to classic and retro, the main thing is that the things are modern. You don’t have to chase the latest trends, but there shouldn’t be anything old-fashioned or outdated. Nothing ages an adult more than old-fashioned clothes and details. One gets the feeling that, firstly, the person bought this thing once a very, very long time ago, in the era of his youth, which means that he is already years old now... Secondly, that the person is already so middle-aged that he cannot keep up with the changing world, and lives with his past, his youth. Many people believe that with age, clothes should be more respectable, more elegant, and more status-worthy, because... This is exactly what is a beacon that a person has achieved success and can afford some brands or things. But in fact, people dressed in irrelevant “status” things look as if they spent half their lives saving for this thing, and the second half they wear it. Wealthy, accomplished man walking first of all, keeping up with the times, because he can afford it, and if you don’t keep your nose to the wind, you won’t achieve much.

Clothes should express your personality. It is understood that by the age of 40 you have already understood yourself and become established as a person. And clothes should reflect this. When the external and internal coincide, any image looks harmonious. When what is worn does not correspond to the internal content, it causes bewilderment. For example, the image of a fatal woman on a modest woman, or the style of an infantile fairy on a quite serious and adult lady. And if it doesn’t reflect it in any way, then you see in a person not an individual, but a representative of some group. A beret, a quilted coat or raincoat, a bag on wheels - the “grandmother” group, because this is almost a uniform for many pensioners. Highlights, a knitted blouse with a print and a neckline, black faceless trousers or a skirt - an office lady, a sloppy ponytail, slightly flared jeans and a short, tight-fitting quilted jacket - a housewife. Yes, there are a lot of such types, although behind each “grandmother” and “aunt” there is a personality hidden, but due to the fact that they dress exactly like their friends, this personality is not visible. And they dress the same because they are guided by what things a woman should wear at this age and what not. If your image screams “I am an aunt,” they perceive you as an aunt, and not an accomplished woman in the prime of life.

Frames should be set based on your characteristics, circumstances, and not age. I often read that women give up certain things just because of their age. For example, after 40 years old he doesn’t wear shorts because it’s too late. But if a woman beautiful legs and the environment allows you to wear shorts, then why not? On the other hand, if your legs are crooked or circumstances require more formal clothing, then even at the age of 18, shorts will not look any better. So what does age have to do with it? Yes, after 30-40 years, your figure and face may change, which is reflected in your wardrobe. My mother, despite her toned figure and well-groomed face, no longer wears any styles. Because age-related changes have already affected her there, and she doesn’t particularly want to demonstrate it. The same goes for relevance. Many women over 40 often dress too seriously or formally, even for simple events, where it looks inappropriate. For example, when I was still in school, my parents were gathered for a cleanup day. What do they wear on a subbotnik? Something convenient and simple. For example, jeans, sneakers, T-shirt. So many mothers came in dress pants, blouses and heels! Simply because they don’t wear other clothes. After 40, these ladies simply excluded sports shoes, simple T-shirts or shirts, and jeans from their wardrobe! They looked very ridiculous and stupid in their uniforms at the cleanup event.

Age does not make boredom, tediousness, or lack of sexuality attractive. Often women at the age of 40 dress rather boringly, which in their understanding means respectable and elegant. Those. everything is adjusted, not a step to the left or right. Usually, women who are not very confident in their taste dress this way, so in order not to make a mistake, they take the “proven classics”. This proven classic also often kills any signs that this is a woman. How is an aunt different from a woman? The woman is sexy and feminine, the aunt is not. Although the aunt can wear a translucent blouse with ruffles, a huge neckline and a super mini. And still, it won’t make her sexier, only more vulgar. And this is not the same thing.

Well, I'll stop here. It is very interesting to read your comments on this topic. How should a woman dress at 40? What should and should not be in her wardrobe. What rules do you follow when choosing clothes and style?

There are often situations when the closet is full of clothes, but there is nothing to wear. This means that things were chosen incorrectly and are not in harmony with each other. To compose basic wardrobe for a woman over 40, it is necessary to take into account three main postulates: style, elegance, classics.

Basic wardrobe style

There are several main rules that will help a lady become fashionable and look appropriate in any situation. The first goal is to determine style directions.

Classic items are relevant at all times: pencil skirt, formal suit, dresses, straight trousers, shirts.

Elegant clothes are the same classics, but more feminine: fitted silhouettes, rich palette, luxurious texture of fabrics.

Combinations called “urban style” - a skillful combination classic options with casual items. For example: jeans, T-shirt, jacket.

Coco Chanel style. This is the notorious “little black dress”, rich materials, luxurious finishing, clear cut silhouettes.

A 40-year-old woman's wardrobe should not be filled with useless items of clothing.- everything is thought out as much as possible.

Making a list: selection rules

An approximate list of required things:

Trousers. Several options are allowed: for formal occasions, everyday wear. In the first case, it is better to choose one product with a straight cut, the other with a tapered cut. The main thing is to take into account the features of the figure.

Jeans. Items with an excessively low waist, excessive abrasions, cuts, or patterns are undesirable. It is better to choose the color black, dark blue, and in the second option blue, white.

Skirts. Any styles are appropriate, except mini. Preferable is a classic pencil skirt, a small flare that reaches the knee or slightly below.

Dresses. Strict styles come in the form of a sheath, office sundress, or shirt dress. Too tight, short options are undesirable. It would be useful to include evening styles in the basic wardrobe of a 40-year-old woman.

Cardigans. Openwork, knitted or warmer. The length varies, as does the appearance (for example, with a belt, wraparound).

Jackets. Best option, which is allowed to create an urban, business style - a fitted jacket of medium length (a short one is appropriate). It is necessary to avoid rough details, false shoulders, and nuances that weigh down the image.

Sweaters, knee socks. Any style and style can be used, the main thing is that it is in harmony with other things. But the rule of average length remains in effect.

Outerwear: raincoats, coats, down jackets, fur coats, sheepskin coats. It is more advisable to be guided by the principles of the classics when choosing semi-fitted items. Options with a belt are also allowed. The length of a demi-season coat is usually just below the knee - it always looks elegant. Jackets are preferred slightly below the waist or to mid-thigh.

In order to correctly assemble a wardrobe for a woman of 40 years old, you need to be aware that at this age elegance and softness of image are valued. Well-chosen accessories, luxurious fabrics, rich, muted colors, and stylish prints add charm. The basic wardrobe is not overly rich in decoration - it is formed to create combinations with more eye-catching items of clothing.

Important! The cut of any item must be impeccable.

A lady at forty is especially beautiful, but she needs to skillfully emphasize this, learn the rules of combination, giving the image individuality and femininity. Below are tips on how to do this, taking into account the time of year and the characteristics of your figure.

Autumn wardrobe

An autumn wardrobe needs to be selected, paying attention to the quality of materials and cut.

Natural fabrics and shades always look decent. In the fall, woolen, drape skirts in warm colors, for example, brown, slightly muted yellow, and chocolate, are suitable.

Sweaters and cardigans can significantly diversify your everyday image. They are selected taking into account the products available. The combination is considered classic: a bright top plus a dark, neutral bottom. It is better to choose sweaters with an attractive pattern and a high, not too large collar. Natural fur vests are also trending.

Dresses and suits- the basis of the image. A business woman over 40 can afford a strict, elegant casual dress of medium length in the best traditions of the Chanel fashion house. On office employees, good quality wool sundresses in neutral colors look great in tandem with cotton knee socks in terracotta or any other rich shade. Suit trouser options with and without arrows are also possible. It is better to choose a straight cut for the bottom.

Trousers– an important item in a young lady’s autumn wardrobe. Considering the weather, models that are too long or flared are best used in early autumn. Dark, skinny trousers look good combined with a long cardigan. Shortened options will be convenient for walking through a slushy city.

Coat: bet on the classics. Medium length is preferred. You can create a silhouette hourglass", choosing models with a belt - this will add charm and femininity. The ideal filling for your wardrobe is two coat models: for everyday wear and a walking option, brighter and more interesting. In the second case, a short coat with a belt is appropriate. The proposed bow goes harmoniously with straight trousers.

Winter wardrobe

A winter wardrobe is distinguished by the fact that it is dominated by warm, cozy things that can wrap you up and warm you up. But don't forget about style.

Knitted clothes. This is a mandatory attribute of the winter set. Cardigan, jumper, sweater, dress - everything should be natural, maybe with a chunky knit if the model allows. A winning combination is a slightly baggy bright sweater worn over stylish, tapered trousers in a dark color. But it should be remembered that long cardigans should not be visible from under outerwear. A 45-year-old woman's wardrobe may include the listed looser-fitting items.

Vests and jackets. These things are also relevant in winter. You just need to remember that it is not customary to wear sweaters with a ribbed knit under a jacket. In addition, two things are enough - a shirt and vest, golf and a cardigan - otherwise the image will be too heavy and heavy.

Headdress. Special attention paid to color and style. To competently create a wardrobe for a 40-year-old woman, there is no need to focus on the headdress, especially on its color scheme. It is better to choose neutral colors, avoiding models with voluminous textures, details, and rhinestones. If the hat is fur, then it is more advisable to choose a short-haired one that is not too large. These options go perfectly with cashmere coats or fur coats. Knitted hats with cuffs will be forgiven, but the classic French beret is worth paying attention to.

Outerwear. Fur coats are always in trend, so the selection of a model is limited to your own taste, body shape and financial capabilities. But there is a nuance - an overly trimmed sheepskin coat, huge collars and other large details do not look good in the wardrobe of a 45-year-old woman, as they look vulgar.

Accessories. Minimalism is the motto winter period. Therefore, it is better to avoid beads that are too large, and also do not forget that thin chains are worn only in tandem with knitted sweaters that have a neckline. But a bright, stylish belt, well-chosen to a woolen dress, or a chic, fashionable stole will be more than appropriate and will perfectly complement the look.

Spring wardrobe

When the time of rebirth, blossoming and love comes, women finally hide heavy, rather boring winter clothes in the closet. So, it's time to pick out your spring wardrobe.

Skirts. We start with this piece of clothing, because it’s time to open the legs. Of course, a mini will look a little infantile, so it’s wiser to choose knee length. A knitted pencil skirt, pleated, slightly flared models look very seductive. You can experiment with the maximum length, but you just need to think carefully about the color. It is better if they are light, gentle, non-weighty tones.

Dresses. The choice here is great both in styles and in terms of palette. This can be a sheath dress, straight knitted or flared version, fitted models. Color – the richer and richer, the better. A combination of different textures and ornaments is allowed. These dresses look great with light raincoats and coats.

Coats and raincoats. This is an irreplaceable basic item in the wardrobe. early spring. Styles can vary depending on the characteristics of the lady's build - trapezoid, fitted, straight. It is not necessary to choose dark colors: you can try warm brown, chocolate, and mustard shades. Do you want an enchanting palette? It is worth deciding on wine red, terracotta or noble burgundy. Medium length looks most appropriate, although short, frivolous coats with a belt also look charming on fragile young ladies.

Trousers. In spring, everything is acceptable: unusual carrots, bananas and gauchos, elegant, wide flares and strict classics - straight, with arrows. The last two options can be safely chosen by a business woman over 40, as it is always appropriate and fashionable. You don't have to wear a jacket as a top; for a more informal setting, a light knit sweater is perfect. An attractive combination of colors - light gray bottom and red, rich top.

Summer wardrobe

When it’s time for vacation, thoughts swarm in your head like seagulls, you don’t think about work, and you feel the salty taste of the surf on your lips. We must hurry to form a summer wardrobe.

Dress. If a woman has not yet plunged into the blissful embrace of relaxation, then she has to obey a dress code that does not allow wearing too revealing, short, transparent outfits. For a young lady of that age, such things would only be appropriate on the beach. Snow-white options look great and perfectly highlight your tan. In an elegant summer dress that included in the basic wardrobe for a woman over 40 years old attention should be attracted by one significant detail: an original drawing, a beautiful brooch, a fashionable silhouette, rich color and the like. If we return to the office environment, then there is no place for floral prints - outfits should be strict, plain, with covered shoulders, of medium length. The same rules apply to blouses.

Trousers. They also have a place in summer wardrobe. Particular attention is paid to fabrics and color - preferably plain, breathable, lightweight materials. Linen possible. Regarding the style, the good old flare is perfect. Of course, light, light-colored jeans are always in trend.

“Sea, sea...” Shorts are quite appropriate on the beach. They are selected depending on height and type of build. But preference is given to models of medium length. Don't forget about hats - it's elegant and also guaranteed to protect against ultraviolet radiation. Wide-brimmed ones will add charm, cowboy ones will add enthusiasm and intrigue. Magnificent images can be created with.

Wardrobe of a plump woman 40 years old

People are different from each other - this is the beauty and diversity of life. In accordance with the characteristics of the build, growth indicators, and other nuances, it is necessary to select items of clothing. For ladies with a royal figure, it is recommended to use some tips. What does a plus-size woman's wardrobe consist of?

Cut. Horizontal cuts and massive, decorated belts should be avoided. It is better to choose a dress with a high waist, the length of which will be up to the middle of the knee - such a silhouette visually reduces volume, distracts attention from an overly full waist, showing off luxurious breasts in a favorable light.

Textile. Boucle, satin, materials with pile or too textured - they make you look fat. Thick knitwear would be a viable option.

Color. Doesn't have to be black or dark blue tint. Can be taken as a basis white fabric, combining it with dark vertical stripes. Overly decorated outfits are not suitable for a plump woman.

Style- the basis of the image. These are mostly loose dresses, with a minimal amount of detail. Low-necked models look advantageous. Tunics, wide cardigans, ponchos with straight or slightly tapered jeans are perfect. Bell-bottoms are not recommended for curvy ladies. The size of the skirt is selected as precisely as possible, and the most successful style is a knitted pencil skirt. The forearms are hidden under the sleeves because they are problem areas. Choose a shirt size larger to achieve a loose fit. Capes, vests, sleeveless vests, and multi-layered outfits are welcome.

Short woman's wardrobe

Taboo for Thumbelina. You should not wear floor-length outfits, tunics, or long cardigans, as this visually reduces your height. An abundance of bulky decor, ruffles, flounces, and lush collars are also not suitable. Color moderation is preferable - an abundance of bright ornaments will not show the figure in a favorable light.

Tips for short women. Short and fitted styles. High-waisted flared trousers are ideal. By the way, the last nuance also applies to dresses, jackets, and skirts. For office style, a cropped jacket combined with a classic knee-length skirt is ideal.

Image of a 40-year-old woman: 5 main things

If your image at 40 is important to you, we offer 5 basic wardrobe elements that will never go out of style and in which you can safely invest.

Bag. You'll never regret buying a classic tote that only gets better with time (hello, naturally worn leather). Stick to it neutral colors, such as black, beige, navy or gray to avoid your “candy” becoming outdated.

Trench coat. Trench in classic style Suitable for all seasons and with almost all outfits. You're guaranteed Parisian chic on the street, even if you're panicking inside.

Both at eighteen and at thirty, we changed our approach to creating a wardrobe. After forty, many women notice that their usual clothes begin to mature them even more or, on the contrary, it seems that you have long “grown out” of the clothes you wear. It becomes clear that dressing as before will not be entirely correct.

One thing is unclear: what should women buy and wear after 40?

Many stylists advise to submit to age and wear strict and classic things. Let’s say right away: we are against such advice!

We believe that you need to clearly “know by sight” those things that add extra years to your passport, and also be able to choose what will emphasize individuality and style.

How to dress after 40 years?

And to do this you need to follow a few simple rules.

1

We say “NO” to clothes that are too formal.

The myth that as you age you need to change into clothes is nothing more than a myth! If you start wearing boring suits, you will definitely not look younger!

"NO"

2

Revealing outfits with revealing necklines, deep slits and short skirts, as well as thin, overly tight knitwear, will most likely have to say no. You want to look young, and not be one of those who “get younger”?

Excessively Feminine and sexy clothes only emphasize age, and we don’t want that, right? Sexuality can be conveyed much more aesthetically, without vulgarity. And, frankly, there is nothing sexier than a woman who is confident, loves herself and accepts herself as she is.

"NO"

"YES"

Frills and ruffles, floral prints and polka dots in most cases add age. Feminine style is good. And the “woman’s style” is no longer very good. Do you agree?

"NO"

"YES"

It is important to understand that a young and well-groomed appearance, as well as a style that will be admired, begins with the right basic things, not burdened by complex tailoring or a completely unnecessary business dress code.

If by “basic” you for some reason mean a black and gray sweater, then I’m waiting for you to visit Shopping School. :-)

"NO"

"YES"

YES! Modern styles and shapes. We’ve already said it and we’ll say it again: classics can visually add many years!

Dress modern!

Follow fashion, but adapt the trends to your own appearance, figure and lifestyle. If you don't know how to do this, seek professional advice.

The need for this information for self-assessment and appearance difficult to overestimate!

4

YES! Proper cut and fit of clothing. There MUST be “air” between the body and clothing. Modern women look stylish and feel comfortable because they know how to buy the right basics. There is no need to “tighten up.”

40–50 years is a wonderful age for a woman. She has already matured as a person, the children have grown up, and she can devote more time to herself. But after 40 years, you need to pay attention to how warm clothes fit on you, because they can easily add a couple of extra years.

And at such a luxurious age, you need to emphasize femininity and elegance, in no case should you look younger at the expense of teenage trends, because it’s so easy to turn into a laughing stock.

Today the editors will tell you about the main modern rules selection of winter wardrobe for women 40–50 years old, as well as what things should never be worn. This way you will always look feminine and stylish.

Winter wardrobe

Women 40–50 years old usually work or take a fairly active social position, and they are not housewives. Of course, trousers are relevant for them. This season you need to choose high-waisted trousers.

Midi skirts and dresses are simply ideal for this age, regardless of height. It is better to choose straight and semi-fitting silhouettes - they will be perfectly slimming. And choose natural fabrics: wool, a mixture of cotton and wool. They look noble.

Choose deep colors: burgundy, black, red, marsala, crimson, emerald, blue, sand. But it’s better to avoid very bright and acidic ones, because often an adult woman gets lost in them.

Be careful with gray things. With them it is very easy to turn into a nondescript mouse. Therefore, it is best to follow the rule: one gray thing in the image. And if there are more of them, then make your lips bright, for example, or add accessories.

Fur vests and tightly knitted items also look good. Outerwear should be either hip-length or below the knee. The main thing is that the dress or skirt does not peek out from under the coat or fur coat. Of course, nothing emphasizes a woman’s status more than a fur coat or sheepskin coat. Jackets cannot be worn over rib knit items.

One more thing golden rule- tights should be plain and thick. No drawings, droplets, meshes or other patterns - they look good only on girls 16–20 years old.

Ladies over 50 should not wear trousers with short dresses or tunics. Together with winter outerwear This combination makes the look heavier and adds years. To prevent the silhouette from becoming heavy and overweight, you should not wear more than two things, one on top of the other, without taking into account outerwear. Multi-layered looks are welcome only for outdoor recreation.

Pay special attention to accessories and headwear. Instead of a hat, use a warm scarf: it keeps your head warm and looks very elegant. Now let's move on to the main trump card - sunglasses. They immediately make the look fresh, stylish and very sexy. An elegantly dressed woman in a headscarf and sunglasses is chic.

As for shoes, you should forget about massive options - dutks, ugg boots, boots with embossed soles. Elegant shoes endow their owner with the same quality.

Now let's move on to what you should exclude from your wardrobe.

DANGEROUS THINGS FOR WOMEN AGED 40–50 YEARS OLD

1. Sweaters with large collars. They make a woman look a little squat. It is also better to remove scarves and stoles with complex draperies and lapels.
2. Knitted skirts and voluminous knitted pants.
3. Cartoon print on sweaters, sweatshirts. This also includes inscriptions, images of animals, comics.

Of course, a lot in choosing warm clothes depends on your figure and overall appearance. Someone can afford to wear leopard prints, but on some it will look stupid. But these basic rules apply to everyone, so feel free to follow them. And also share with your friends on social networks!
