What does a 50th birthday change in a woman’s life? It’s just a page in the calendar. Every woman, regardless of age, has the right to wear what she likes. What she feels good in. A dozen or so years ago, a woman over 50 was mainly associated with a suit. Today, mature women wear jeans, biker jackets, and oversized clothes. They experiment with colors and patterns. Internet forums are heated by discussions about what what not to wear after fifty?! Some people believe that everyone can wear whatever they want, regardless of age. Others say a definite no to shorts, minis, tight dresses, skinny jeans for over fifty. How to find the golden mean?
We debunk myths and suggest why it’s worth having fun with fashion at a mature age! After all, statistically you still have about 30 years of life ahead of you!
Shorts – give to a younger friend?
Absolutely not! Wearing shorts does not depend on age, but on figure. Many mature women take care of their bodies, regularly visit the gym, run and do other sports. They have great figures and nice legs. So why cover them up in the summer?
Shorts should be of appropriate length ć. This means that the buttocks cannot be visible. This rule applies not only to mature women, but also to young girls. Shorts that are too short are not perceived well.
Another issue concerning shorts is the choice of footwear. Contrary to appearances, they do not make an ideal duo with high heels. Therefore, wear them with sports shoes or flip-flops. This will allow you to create a summer, sporty style that will really make you look younger.
What is not appropriate to wear after fifty: mini, tight dresses?
A mini skirt is similar to shorts. If the figure is slim, a woman of any age can wear it. It is important that the remaining elements of the styling are not flashy, because the whole thing can look caricatural.
Women over 50 can also wear a tight dress, but of course you have to have the right figure for it. It’s not a question of age. Just as a thirty-year-old with extra pounds won’t look good in a tight dress, neither will a fifty-year-old whose body has changed.
What looks good on your body?
What you shouldn’t wear after the age of fifty is clothes that don’t fit your figure.. The body changes over the years. So don’t cling to a skirt from 10 years ago, but go on a hunt and try on different styles of skirts, dresses, and pants. Choose clothes that hide imperfections and emphasize assets.
Are colorful clothes reserved for younger people?
The generation of mothers and grandmothers considered the age of 50, or even turning 40, as the time to wear more subdued colors. Black, gray, not standing out from the crowd. Today, these unwritten rules are fortunately becoming a thing of the past! After all, a woman over fifty can still wear colorful clothes.
Black adds years. That is why after the age of 50 it is better to choose light colors, pastels, but also more expressive ones. Remembering one rule. If you decide on color, let the style of pants, skirt or fashionable suits this season, be simple. The more classic, the better.
Is there anything you shouldn’t wear after 50?
There are some clothes like that, but these rules largely apply to everyone, not just mature women. Avoid:
- wearing clothes that are too small and too tight (!), if your body has changed, you should definitely change your wardrobe,
- shiny tights in brown color (!), have long gone out of fashion, choose the most flesh-colored matte tights,
- trends, which do not suit your figure (!), if you do not look good in a pleated long skirt, do not buy it just because it is fashionable,
- clothes aimed at teenagers, youth fashion is governed by its own rules.
A woman over fifty can wear anything, within the limits of good taste and style. The ideal combination is simple elegance with a touch of extravagance. The best adviser is a mirror and how you feel in a specific style. It is worth being guided by this, regardless of the opinions of others.
