Dressing Sensationally at 40
It’s time to develop a look that’s slick and streamlined. For the office lady a pencil skirt that stops just below the knee which has an element of stretch works for all – it keeps everything in place and gives you a sexy wiggle. It’s best to keep your overall image simple but to add one or two status-symbol pieces, such as an embellished jacket, a shirt or some bold jewellery.
Just because you’re 40 it’s definitely not the time to hang up your style and bring out the mum jeans! The styles you have always loved can be updated and refreshed to reflect your new sense of self. The key to looking your best in your 40s is all about garments that fit well and are tailored.
If you love black, by all means add it to your wardrobe, but ensure you keep some colourful pieces.
Wide legged trousers should be a staple in almost everyone’s wardrobe. If you have wide hips, these are great at keeping the secret. If you are a little on the thin side, they also do a great job of giving you curves where you had none.
When you are shopping, ask yourself, does this tell people that I am classy, sophisticated, and put together? Or does it scream desperate, in denial, or too revealing? Trying to dress like your 20 and 30 year old counterparts will not make people think you are this age.
Don’t wear any articles of clothing which you did 10 or 20 years ago, unless it is an amazing winter coat still in great shape. You do deserve some new clothes, and while you’re at it, get a chic new hairstyle that makes you feel gorgeous.
In closing, don’t be a slave to fashion, and don’t be a slave to your youth. Embrace your growth, and celebrate that you are still around to strut your stuff! Maturity does not insinuate you are ancient, so get rid of those hangups and start dressing appropriately for your age.
