The 5 Secrets Every Stylish Mature Woman Knows (And You Should Too!)

Just because you’re over 50 doesn’t mean you gave up your sense of style at 30. In fact, the opposite is true. You should be on your style game more than ever. Stylish mature women know this and live it every day. That’s how they do it.

• They never dress their age

We’ve all heard fashion experts say that you should dress for your age. But what exactly does that mean? What does a 55-year-old woman wear that is different from a 40-year-old? Also, not all 55- or 60-year-olds are the same. We come in all shapes and sizes. The elegant and elegant woman, however, knows this and does not dress according to her age, but she pays more attention to what looks good on her. The mature fashionista knows her body and she knows the styles, cuts and fabrics that best suit her. This is not to say that age doesn’t matter at all. In other words, if you’re over 60, your teenage granddaughter’s boy band t-shirt may be too girlish. But, her basic t-shirt or her wide leg jeans may be the things that set her style on fire.

• They are not slaves to trends

The trends, in general, are good. Wearing a fashionable garment lets the world know that you are keeping up with what is current and not stuck in a time warp. But as we all know, not all trends are created equal. If wearing a certain trend makes you feel weird, uncomfortable, or just plain silly, it’s not for you. Instead of going with every trend that comes along (and there are usually several per season), fashionable mature women pick and choose the ones they love and the ones that make them feel happy. Elegant and elegant women also choose trends that can work with their basics and easily become classics. For example, the trend of leopard print has appeared so much in recent years that black, gray, white and brown print has been added as a neutral. Be like the mature fashionista and choose her trend wisely.

• They know what makes them memorable

Stylish older women know what makes them memorable to others. It’s usually that type of garment or accessory that they wear over and over again. The item is their signature piece, what everyone associates with who they are. Some women are known for their beautiful silk scarves, others for their basic black turtlenecks, while others are famous for their collection of colorful sneakers. Whatever the item, these mature women know it sets them apart from the crowd.

• They are not colorblind

Older women who look great over and over again usually do so because they know what colors flatter them. They choose colors that won’t overwhelm them, make them look washed out, or distort their features. When someone compliments them on wearing these colors, they take notice. Look through your closet and pull out your favorite items. Most likely, these garments will be in your favorite colors. if you want to have a mature style, buy more items in these shades.

• They take style risks

It’s always nice to have wardrobe pieces that work year after year. They are like old friends and we know they will always look good. But mature fashionistas know that there is also a style routine. They know that playing it safe all the time is not for them. They know that to stay on top of their style games they also have to take risks from time to time. This could mean something as simple as swapping a pair of dark wash bootcut jeans for a slightly distressed pair. Or it could mean replacing your classic black wool winter coat with a red trench coat. While change may not always work (think of those platform heels that nearly twisted your ankle), it’s always worth the risk to try something new.

So if you’re a mature woman who longs to be as fashionable as you were in your 30s, keep these style tips in mind and you’ll be back in the style game in no time.
