You are about to meet (or have met and moved past) the big Four-Oh! It might be time to evolve your wardrobe for the new mature you. Mature doesn’t mean old, of course. It’s vibrant, powerful and dignified – therefore it’s important to realise a simple reality when recognising the emerging trends in the youth market:
If you’ve worn it once, you shouldn’t try to wear it again.
However, trends are everywhere that are perfect for someone who has seen it all before – in magazines, on celebrities and in every second store in the shopping centre. By now you probably know which hem-line or neck-line suits your body type best, so simply use that critical eye and look hard to find exactly which styles work for you within that trend.
A soft and sophisticated look using simple lines and shapes are key. This will help you achieve a modern look that is far from boring. I could list every single garment that would suit you in all different kinds of colours, textures and prints…but I would be here forever, the options are endless.
Casual chic is a phrase you hear all to often in the fashion world and is it not limited to the 20-30 something women. It basically means casual with a touch of high-fashion glam. Think of this phrase when choosing your outfit and to help you accessorise. Each image to the right are looks to inspire you in each setting – Casual, weekend outing, evening, work and dinner date.
