Clothing style for women over 40

In youth, hardly anyone thinks about how he will look in this or that outfit. Almost all clothes suit young people, regardless of style and colors. But with age, a woman loses the opportunity to dress as she wants. But no one forbids you to have a stylish look, you just need to follow a few rules.

Unfortunately, with age, the figure of every woman changes and not for the better. Many begin to be ashamed of their body and hide it behind wide shapeless hoodies. And this is a big mistake. Stylists and designers assure that there is an ideal style for any figure.

A woman of Balzac age can still look stylish and attract the attention of the opposite sex no worse than young beauties. In order to match the status of a woman of forty years and be dressed with taste, you need to take into account a few nuances.

• Eliminate black clothes from the wardrobe. This gloomy color, despite all its elegance, will add a few years to you. Of course, black color slims, but ages even more. Replace it with brown, navy blue and gray shades.
• Add light colors to your clothes. Light-colored clothes add freshness to your look. Incorporate more pastel colors into your wardrobe.
• Pay attention to the quality of clothing and accessories.You are at the age when it is time to think about yourself. Finally, you can afford expensive clothes and jewelry. Give preference to natural fabrics and decorations. Put jewelry aside, as well as things made of synthetic materials.

Youth styles like hip-hop and punk are a thing of the past. Now it's time to give preference to more serious images.

The main principle of this style is elegance. The name of the style speaks for itself. Classic suits most women and never goes out of style. If you are a business lady who spends most of the day in the office, then this style is the most suitable for you. But do not forget about the priority of light tones. Give a black jacket to your daughter, and get yourself a luxurious gray cardigan.

Pants with a classic cut are perfect for women with any figure and any age. You can choose from pleated trousers or straight piping. If the dress code forces you to wear a skirt, then the pencil model is the perfect option.

In summer, instead of classic length trousers, you can use cropped models with a collar at the bottom. To make the look more fun, use clothes with simple prints. It can be rhombuses, a chess cage and a thin strip.

There are several nuances that should be taken into account when forming a classic image:

• Minimalism. Leave extra details for the image of young girls starting their life experience. Don't experiment with style. If this is a classic, then your image should not contain signs of other styles.
• Neatness. Now you have to be more responsible about how your clothes look.No wrinkled blouses and trousers, keep an eye on the condition of your shoes, which should always shine. Peeled heels and worn out heels are also completely out of place.

Despite the fact that elegance is the main rule in the clothes of a woman after forty, casual style still has a place to be. At any age, you want to relax, put on simple light shoes and comfortable jeans.

If young girls can afford almost any everyday look, including casual grunge, a woman after forty should not do this in any case. The main elements of the image in casual style are simple straight jeans and a plain T-shirt or longsleeve. About cheerful and bright prints, which are characteristic of this style, should be completely abandoned.

Jeans can be classic blue or gray tones. It is best if you choose straight jeans or models that are slightly tapered downwards. Sweatshirts with a hood should also be left, since the hood in this case is a youth element and is not at all appropriate in the image of a mature lady.

You can put on moccasins of a classic cut or the same type of sneakers on your feet. There should not be any colored ballet flats with sparkles and rhinestones. Do not forget about the quality of clothes - only the best materials, mostly natural.

Unlike the classic image, the image of an urban woman can consist of both plain elements of clothing, and with the use of contrast. This style can combine the use of different types of fabrics, cotton and tweed, silk and jeans. By the way, jeans are an integral part of urban style. Denim trousers in classic blue or gray colors will be a great addition to a light trench coat.Jeans also go well with a shirt worn over a light-colored T-shirt.

For women in their forties, there are many clothing options for an evening trip to a restaurant or a special event. At this age, no one is forcing you to give up short dresses, but medium-length or floor-length outfits are still considered elegant.

If you want to create an evening look that is both elegant and sexy, opt for an open back dress. Make sure that the neckline does not cut off the waistline, otherwise the image will turn from sexy into vulgar. The open back in this case is the main decorative element. It may have an unusual shape or be decorated with a bow.

For women whose age has reached the mark of forty years, a dress with a mermaid silhouette is perfect. Such a model has not gone out of fashion for a long time and is relevant for any evening event. The main decorative element is the multi-layered bottom of the dress in the form of a mermaid tail. If you are the owner of an apple-type figure, then choose a dress of this type with a peplum.

Evening dresses with prints should be strictly avoided. They are completely inappropriate for this age range. Instead of prints, dresses can be complemented with drapery, train or embroidery. Such models look much more expensive and can make you a real queen of the evening.

In the rhythm of a big city, it can be so difficult to do everything that you have planned for the day. Comfortable clothes are a good helper for active women who are constantly in a hurry somewhere and do not sit still at all. High heels and tight skirts are unlikely to allow you to move quickly and confidently.It was for such women that the urban style of clothing was created. It is somewhat reminiscent of the classic, but is more relaxed and comfortable.

Clothing for women should be selected not only based on age, but also according to the type of figure. In women of forty years old, there are three main types:

• The semi-fitted type is a thinner waist and wider hips. The gluteal part most often has the so-called riding breeches. Speaking of clothing, it should have a semi-adjacent silhouette. Be sure to emphasize the waist, but this does not mean that the clothes should fit the figure. It is enough that things repeat your silhouette. Skirts can be double or quadruple, and smell is also appropriate.

• The rounded type implies the use of clothing made of dense fabric that can well hide all the flaws of the figure. For obese women, elongated cardigans, straight skirts and dresses are well suited. In no case should you wear shorts and breeches, their length makes a strong emphasis on the fullness of the hips and legs. Pants must be at least mid-calf.

• The straight body type is characterized by wide shoulders and narrow hips, and the waist is usually very poorly defined. For such a figure, straight silhouettes of clothes that do not focus on the waist are best suited. All elements must have clear lines. If you choose trousers, then models with clear arrows will be ideal.The jacket must have shoulder pads. Give preference to things made of dense quality fabrics: tweed, denim, brocade, linen.
