Fashion How to find your style for women over 50: advice from fashion experts

But it also happens differently: you sort through your clothes and think again that there is nothing to wear – what you liked in your 30s or 40s no longer pleases you and does not give you self-confidence. This is normal – both our appearance and our tastes change. Here are the rules, according to stylists, that you need to follow to update your wardrobe to 50 and stock up on things that will make you look great.

“If you’re softer, let your clothes reflect that with tactile materials and neutral colors. If you are now much bolder than you were, it’s time to show confidence – increase the color contrast in your wardrobe, add bright shades, don’t be afraid of a cut that will put you in the center of attention,” advises stylist Josef Rosenfeld.

You don’t have to give up the clothes you already have to show your true self: Joseph believes that styling with accessories or new combinations of existing items is often enough. Don’t you know how you’ve changed? Grab a pen and paper and write down five adjectives that describe the woman you aspire to be and five more that you think people you know would describe you. All of this will help you understand where to start.

Introspection complete? It’s time for a wardrobe overhaul! “Try everything on, see what suits you, think about what you like and emphasize your personality. What do the things you like to wear have in common? Color, texture, patterns, certain fabrics, cut? You will definitely notice something similar,” Rosenfeld is sure.

Making a list of your personal trends will make moving forward much easier. If the task turns out to be too difficult, call a friend – maybe he will notice something that escaped your eyes. Also consider compliments – in what outfits do you hear them most often?

Your wardrobe doesn’t have to be super trendy – you have to choose things you’ll actually use. “I always tell clients to stay true to themselves and consider their lifestyle, hobbies and status.” If you work, then you will need more business clothes, if you are busy at home – things in which you will feel elegant and confident when walking with children or grandchildren.

Stylist Scarlett De Biz advises choosing things that can be combined with others when changing your wardrobe. “Now every woman can have a few pieces of clothing that can be made into dozens of outfits just by thinking of different combinations of things,” she says.

According to stylist Kendra Sharp, the basics every woman over 50 needs is a quality denim jacket, a good pair of jeans, a white button-down shirt, brown or black pants, a pair of t-shirts, and white sneakers or loafers.

With this base, you can match everything else – bags, sunglasses, outerwear, seasonal shoes and create many looks to match your new and improved personal style.
