What to Consider When Dressing for your Age

First and foremost, style is about inner confidence. If you are 50 and dare to wear a mini, more power to you. If you tend to err on the safe side but still like to be in the fashion game, there are plenty of interesting and chic options out there for you, no matter what your age.

20s There are no boundaries for twentysomthings when it comes to fashion. It’s about personal style and adding whimsical touches you can get away with only when you’re young, whether that means playing with color, mixing and matching, or wearing high heels and high hemlines.

30s More pulled-together, serious looks are what your 30s are about, but you don’t have to be a total square. The trick is to experiment with fashion-forward styles while maintaining a level of polish.

40s Classic silhouttes and colors may start to dominate your wardrobe, but each piece should be full of personality. Think interesting embelishment, feminine volume, and bursts of rich color and pattern.

50s Refined, tasteful choices are the foundations of age-appropriate dressing. Tailoring and structures are key, as are clean lines and fuss-free pieces in a simple palette.

60s Elegance is the idea, and so timeless, traditional pieces are the mainstays. Tweed suits, trousers, and coatdresses dominate the closet. Constrasting hues–black, white, and red–are most chic

70+ Looking dignified and distinguished is of the utmost importance–and that means spurging on a little luxury. Fabrics shuld be of the highest quality, and tailoring should be precise.
