As we age, changes in appearance and body are inevitable. However, regardless of age, women can still create their own charm if they know how to dress appropriately. What is scarier than getting old or gaining weight is mixing and matching clothes haphazardly. Especially when entering the age of 40 - 50, following fashion trends without considering the suitability for yourself can make the overall look out of tune and cheap.
Evidence of knowing how to dress and not knowing
Different overall temperament
Choosing clothes based on trends without considering the suitability of your body shape and personal style will affect your overall temperament. The difference between the two ways of dressing can be easily seen through the comparison images.
Body shape is enhanced or suppressed
When choosing clothes, it is not only the style that matters but also the cut and overall design. The right clothes will help to flatter the figure and hide flaws, while the wrong clothes can make the figure look unbalanced. Through the comparison pictures, we can clearly see the difference between someone who knows how to dress well and someone who mixes clothes without purpose.
Knowing how to combine clothes is the deciding factor.
Whether you have a good sense of style or not can be immediately recognized by the way you combine items together. People with a sense of fashion will immediately imagine how to combine clothes when buying a new item. On the contrary, people who do not have a fashion mindset often just follow trends or mix and match clothes randomly, leading to a messy and unsophisticated look.
Choosing the right outfit is the first step to expressing your taste.
Important criteria when choosing clothes in middle age
Choosing clothes for the lower body: Prioritize long designs
Even though the body changes over time, middle-aged women can still maintain an elegant style if they choose the right outfit. When choosing clothes for the lower body, especially dresses, you should prioritize long designs that are above the knee to create a sense of elegance and help hide flaws.
High-waisted outfits will create a flattering effect.
High-waisted designs are a smart choice, helping your figure look more balanced and slim. If you are short or have an unbalanced body proportion, high-waisted designs will help elongate your legs and create the effect of a taller figure.
Make sure the garment has a clean silhouette and minimalist design
When choosing an outfit, just make sure of two criteria:
- Clear lines, stable shape: Even though it is a spacious design, it still has neat lines, creating a sense of neatness and elegance.
- Minimalist, sophisticated design: Prioritize outfits with simple but luxurious designs, not too fussy. This is not only suitable for many body types but also helps the overall look more elegant and modern.
How to use color – An important element in fashion style
Don't just wear black, white, gray – Neutral colors create a more luxurious feel
Many middle-aged women have the habit of choosing outfits in black, white, and gray tones because they are easy to coordinate. However, these basic colors can sometimes make the overall look monotonous and lifeless. Instead, prioritize neutral colors with high gray levels such as beige, brown, light moss green, or smoky gray. These tones not only make the outfit look more luxurious but also create a sense of sophistication and elegance.
Choose colors that are not too bright to create an elegant, gentle look.
Besides neutral colors, you can also choose soft colors such as pastel blue, nude pink, lavender or light yellow. These tones help the overall outfit look harmonious, not too bright but still exude sophistication and femininity. In particular, this color is suitable for many body shapes, helping to hide defects such as excess fat or a lack of body firmness.
Know how to coordinate to create a more diverse and quality style
Focus on body proportions: The most important thing when dressing well is to ensure a balanced body proportion. To do this, you can apply the "short top, long bottom" rule - choose a short shirt with long pants or a long skirt to create the effect of longer legs. If you like seamless outfits such as jumpsuits or long dresses, prioritize designs with a high waist to elongate the body proportions.
Create a harmonious overall outline: Creating harmony between the lines of the outfit is also very important. When layering, choose items with reasonable width such as "tight inside, loose outside" or choose a straight-cut, straight-leg outfit to help the body lines look neater.
A little skin exposure makes the overall look more elegant: Even in cold weather, you should still apply the method of coordinating clothes with a little subtle exposure to increase elegance. Details such as V-neck, half-sleeves or slightly slit hem help the outfit have more highlights, making the overall look more comfortable and natural.
Style suitable for middle-aged women
Elegant and effortless: At middle age, the ideal style is a combination of elegance and comfort. Choose refined designs like long straight-leg pants, simple midi skirts or cropped wide-leg pants to flatter your figure and allow you to move easily.
Simple but elegant: If you want to look sophisticated and modern, you should choose clothes with clear and minimalist shapes. Items such as suits, straight-cut blazers or dresses with sharp cuts will help the overall look become neat and elegant while still maintaining the necessary comfort.
Even though your age and body shape may change over time, choosing the right outfit can still help you maintain an elegant and attractive style. Always adjust your fashion style to suit yourself, and don't forget to follow the next shares!
