Over 50 and fabulous: Fashion tips for stylish, older women

Following on from our “Over fifty and fabulous” posts, here’s a look at some beautiful fashion

See those posts here:

 

Invest in a few good pieces, then add accessories

Create your own capsule wardrobe of plain staples in basic neutrals, such as:

  • plain black shift dress, plain wrap dress
  • smart black or navy trousers for the work and cocktail parties
  • comfortable but elegant casual black pants for casual events and travel
  • black or navy skirt, just above the knee
  • white blouse, white or black casual long-sleeve top, white or black 3/4 sleeve top, white t-shirt, black t-shirt
  • selection of plain, coloured cardigans and jackets eg. red, navy, pink
  • elegant camel, beige, white or black coat
  • nude, white and black shapewear
  • one investment handbag and an evening clutch
  • nude, white and black shoes, including casual flats, ballet flats, heels and boots.

With a bit more money, start bringing in colourful printed tops, skirts, pants and dresses which can be mixed-and-matched with the capsule items, then play with shoes, hats, scarves, belts, jewellery and shoes.
