Fashion is, of course, also about interpretation. The fact is that there are no concrete rules, but what we have to consider is that the body changes. And so do our face. What we wear in our twenties is not what we might wear now. Also, in the middle of our life, life has changed and it is very common to have other needs and tastes, so the crucial thing is to adapt, as always in life. Let us see the most common mistakes women over 50 are making these days.
You are never too old to wear a trend
As I wrote before, when we get older the body changes, but you can still have beautiful legs at 60 or a super nice, flat stomach, so why not? You can wear everything that makes you feel good, just make a quick check of yourself in the mirror before you live. Confidence and love for yourself are your guides.
There is not just black
I know, they say it is the slimming color, but even if you have curves, don’t choose always black. Wearing black head to toe after 50 can make you appear as if you already have one foot in the grave. Look to the fit of your clothes rather than the color if you are trying to look slimmer. The effect will be much more dramatic.
Capri pants and flat shoes
It is just not a good combination. I know ti can be super comfy and quick, but it doesn’t look good. There are so many women choosing this particular fit of pants, but in reality the look good just on Gisele. You have to have super long, thin legs, a very nice tan, no hips and, well, this is not real life.
Invest in a good bag
A statement one is always the best. Don’t wear the same one in summer and winter, because the materials and shapes change. Use black and brown in the cold season, white and pastels in the hot one. An evening bag and a crossbody bag make for perfect additions to your collection.
Choose the right pair of glasses and adjust your make-up
It is super ok if you don’t have just one pair of glasses, different shapes and colors can be combined with different dresses and styles. If you always wear glasses then you have to adjust your make-up. Use bolder colors, but keep the mobile part of the eyelid in white.

Underwear is everything
Yes it is. You have to wear the right bra, body or modelling underwear to look amazing. You can experiment with lace and colors, but black, white and nudes are always the best choice. Boobs do not stay the same size your whole life. They fluctuate just like your weight. Feel free to find a new shape of bra and body, when the old gets ugly on you: it is a super normal fenomena, it is life.
