How to Keep Yourself Looking Fabulous and Fashionable As You Age

By  | 

Many people think of fashion as a young person’s world, but the truth is that fashion matters to people regardless of their age. If you are a gorgeous, fashionable woman, you don’t have to give that up just because you’re getting older. In fact, aging often opens whole new areas of fashion up to you. Things you would never have been comfortable trying in your youth may now seem reasonable or even exciting. You can take certain steps to ensure that you will always look gorgeous, no matter what your age.

Fashionable and Trendy Are Not the Same Thing

Looking fashionable means looking put together. It means that every component of what you wear plays a part in the overall look you hope to achieve. Generally, fashion is supposed to say something about who you are. Looking fashionable means expressing who you are in a way that is engaging and attractive to others.

It’s important to understand that being fashionable and being trendy are not the same thing. In fact, as you age, some trends may make you seem desperate to hold onto your youth instead of embracing the beauty of your current life stage. Just because everyone is wearing a certain thing this season doesn’t mean you need to. Instead, look into building a wardrobe that is timeless and classic while expressing the inner you accurately.

Dress for Your Body Type, But Understand It May Change

If you care about your appearance, it’s likely you already know that many people recommend you dress for your body shape. In other words, you highlight the best aspects of your body and downplay the ones that you don’t enjoy as much with the best fitting clothing. Over time and as you age, the way clothes fit you and the overall shape of your body is going to change. You should prepare for that and commit to reviewing your body shape every few years as you get older. That way, you can catch on early if you need to start making changes to the styles that you wear.

There’s No Such Thing As Age-Appropriate Clothing

Regardless of how you view your own personal sense of fashion, you likely also rely on outside sources for information about beauty and clothing. You can just go ahead and ignore every article you come across that indicates there are certain clothes you can’t wear after a certain age. It is true that some styles just work better with certain lifestyles and body types, but there are no rules in fashion. There certainly aren’t any age limits on clothing or makeup. Be true to yourself, and use your outside to express what’s in your heart. That is the epitome of being fashionable and fabulous for the modern woman.
