Sometimes, you just need someone to tell you what to do, right? No? Well, I’m going to attempt to do it anyway. LOL You know how I feel about my style rules. I love doing videos like this because I think these tips are easy to remember and can be genuinely helpful.
Today, I’m sharing 15 style tips that every woman should know over 50, and I know that some of these will be completely new to you. Others will hopefully be helpful reminders. So here, 15 style tips that you may have never heard before, but that can totally transform the way you see style.
- It’s Not The Clothes, It’s How You Style Them
You can make outdated or trendy items work based on how you style them. The key is how you combine pieces, rather than focusing solely on individual items. - Avoid One-Note Outfits
For a balanced, modern look, mix tight with loose or long with short. Pairing similar items (tight with tight, long with long) can result in an unflattering or outdated outfit. - You Don’t Have to Update Your Wardrobe Every Season
Feel free to skip a season if you’re not inspired by current trends. There’s no rule saying you need to refresh your wardrobe every season. - Style is Accessible to Everyone, Regardless of Budget
Thanks to online retailers and secondhand platforms like eBay and Poshmark, you can find stylish, high-quality pieces at any price point. - Change the Jacket and Shoes to Update an Outfit
If your outfit isn’t quite working, try swapping the jacket and shoes. These elements can dramatically refresh your look. - Spend What You Need for the Perfect Fit (Especially with Jeans)
Fit is key. Invest in jeans that fit perfectly, whether they’re $25 or $250. A great fit elevates any look. - Personality Pieces Never Go Out of Style
Items that truly resonate with your personal style will remain timeless, even if they’re not trendy. Invest in pieces that reflect who you are. - Sparkle Can Be Aging
While embellishments may seem fun, they can sometimes look dated and age you. Opt for metallics or limit sparkle to one key piece to avoid overwhelming your look. - You Need Fewer Clothes Than You Think
Most women already have plenty of clothes; what’s missing is often the right pieces. Focus on quality and versatility rather than quantity. - If Your Basics Are Dated, Your Wardrobe Will Be Too
Outdated staple pieces can make your entire wardrobe look out of style. Keep your essentials modern to maintain a fresh look. - Hot Shoppers Should Shop With a List, Cold Shoppers With a Friend
Hot shoppers (who love shopping) should plan purchases to avoid impulse buys, while cold shoppers (who dislike shopping) may benefit from a friend’s encouragement. - Wear Clothes That Skim Your Body for a Flattering Look
Well-fitted clothes that gently follow your body’s contours will always be the most flattering, regardless of size or age. - Adjust Earrings Based on Hair Length
Small earrings can get lost in long hair, while bold earrings might overpower short hair. Consider your hair length when choosing earrings. - Spend More on a Good Bra Than a Shirt
A well-fitted bra can dramatically improve how your clothes look. Prioritize a high-quality bra to ensure a flattering silhouette. - You’re Not Short on Clothes, You’re Short on Ideas
Often, you already own enough clothes but lack ideas on how to style them. Search online for new outfit inspiration using pieces you already have.
