Can’t figure out how to dress for your new job or your new curves? Ellecanada.com has the guide to making you look great from your ‘20s through your ‘60s.
‘40sCelebrity inspiration: Jennifer Aniston
Style mantra: Be selective
If you want to be trendy in your ‘40s, do it with your accessories and not your clothes,” Seidl suggests. Try a bold necklace or a great pair of heels, and look at the bigger picture, she says. Volume has been an ongoing trend for the past few seasons, but a bold-shouldered jacket doesn’t look good on everyone. Think about incorporating volume into your wardrobe with more wearable pieces like a high-waisted tulip skirt or wide-leg pants. This decade is about starting to cement your signature style with investment pieces that look great on your figure.
‘50s
Celebrity inspiration: Michelle Pfeiffer
Style mantra: Be tailor made
At this point a woman has already deduced what works on her body type and what makes her feel comfortable and confident. Use this decade to highlight your assets while camouflaging problem areas. “You don’t want to wear anything too clingy or show too much cleavage,” Seidl says. “You can afford the finer things in life, so invest wisely.” The one thing a woman in her ‘50s can’t live without? A great tailor. With a few minor adjustments, your favourite classics will fit just like the day you bought them.
