Stop hiding your age!
Let's talk about fashion for women over 60. The big myth for women over 60 is that they are no longer interested in looking stylish. It is believed that women over 60 are invisible, misunderstood and not interested in sensuality and beauty - old, devoid of sexuality and no longer part of the world of fashion, art and creative life force.
Some useful tips for ladies over 60:
Accept your age! There is a popular TV show in America (based on the British show of the same name) called "What Not to Wear". It is led by fashion experts, who in each episode dress a man who makes terrible choices in terms of personal style.
One of the interesting truths about this show is that it is common among the participants, especially women - many try to look younger than they really are. But this is a mistake!
When older people make images that are more suitable for younger people, they paradoxically look much older. If you wear short skirts or high heels or tasteless clothes that look like a woman half your age, you will probably look "older" than you actually are.
The same goes for wearing sneakers, which, although comfortable, are one of the least suitable for women over 60. If you dress "according to your age", it makes you look younger - people will not be distracted by clothes that are not suitable for your age, but instead can assess how fit you are, how healthy your skin is or how much you look good.
Choose a classic look, stylish hairstyle - one of the advantages for women over 60 years.
We went through fashion and short-lived trends - simple elegance and freedom. We can choose classic styles that really suit every age. Do not think that you have to succumb to the latest fashion trends. After all, most "trends" are for young people. If something seems silly to you, don't hesitate to say no. You'll look more elegant if you focus on practical clothes rather than the "perfect look" you see in a favorite fashion magazine.
This is the key to mastering fashion for women after 60 years. You can convey style, health and status not only with clothes. Sometimes you will radiate more confidence and class if you prefer the classic and conservative options.
"Dress for the role you want to get." There is an old saying in the career world: "Dress for the job you want." This means that clothes in the workplace must inspire confidence in order to have career advancement.
But choosing classic styles doesn't mean you can only dress conservatively. When it comes to women over 60, there is a similar idea: to dress for the role in life you want to have.
Do you love adventure? Do you like travelling?
Choose accessories or extras from other cultures in the countries you've visited. If you enjoy outdoor sports, find a way to reflect those interests. This does not mean that you constantly dress for sports, but you can dress "sporty" while remaining stylish.
One of the great things about women over 60 is that they have more role models than ever. Women over the age of 60 are still too often marginalized and invisible to the media and our culture, but there are some exceptional women of this age who are fashion icons.
For example, Lauren Bacall - starred in a film as a young woman with Humphrey Bogart and looks beautiful and modern, even at an age that most people describe as a time of aging.
Tina Turner - a style icon for a whole generation and still looks healthy, beautiful and modern. It should be borne in mind that celebrities often wear certain clothes, not because it suits them, but because they have an agreement with advertisers. So watch the stars, but always evaluate their outfits according to the rules of style.
Maybe the fashion industry will soon start serving women over 60 - after all, fashion is not just for 22-year-old models on catwalks.
In fact, there is no "impossible". There are recommendations in 2022, but there are no strict rules for which you can be convicted or expelled. Stylish women over the age of 60 do not try to hide their age at any cost, but they learn to emphasize their strengths, regardless of height or weight.
It looks very ugly if a 60-year-old woman tries to dress to look younger! It is also very important to take into account your figure - many at this age begin to gain weight or lose weight dramatically. So the clothes should fit the figure.
So many beautiful things are on sale now that there should be no wardrobe problems for women of all ages.
