More and more often, we think that now it is even more interesting to look at the pictures of 40-year-old fashion designers than very young fashion designers: the latter often sin with bright labels and fashionable looks without bringing something individual to them, while the former know how to look unique.
But of course, that’s ideally when you don’t get lost in a bunch of “age wardrobe” problems by the time you’re forty. And they exist! Personal stylist Rachel Dickerson confirms: the first biggest mistake is to think that your style is already “settled” and should not change, like the good old sweaters, jeans and shirts that you will not get out of for 5 years.

Yes, yes, you understood everything correctly: sometimes excessive care in choosing clothes for an outfit is harmful, especially if you cling to old fashion stereotypes. For example, you think a bag has to match your shoes, and a brooch is the surest way to dress up an old sweater.
In fact, today such gimmicks look outdated and instead of decorating an outfit, they add another 5 years on top of you – and who needs that? Rachel says: To keep yourself from getting old, try to get any “rusty” rules out of your head and avoid the urge to mix and match anything and everything. This habit is called matchy-matchy in foreign glossy magazines – and this is a bad reception.
It is not necessary for a striped jacket to be combined with striped trousers. It doesn’t matter if you wear the floral print dress with sneakers or moccasins rather than romantic ballet flats – the contrast looks cool! And you definitely don’t need to look for “company” for your pearl bracelet: it can easily do without a pair of necklaces and earrings. This is where the great Coco’s advice will help us: what you put on, take off last. And maybe even the penultimate one.
The “cleaner” the image, the better – and you’ll look fresher! This is the secret of the “forty-year-old” wardrobe.
