Fashion Over 50: Outfit Inspiration & Tips On How To Dress Well If You're Over 50

The most important rule of dressing for everyone at any age is choose clothes that flatter you and fit your figure. If you've got a killer figure at 60, there's no reason you can't wear a slim dress or slim fit jeans.

Whatever your age, wear clothes that you look good and feel good in and that complement your sleek and impeccable style.

That said, here are 3 dressing tips to help you get more outfit ideas.

Do trends

At some point after 50, a lot of women turn away from trendy clothes. Because of a feeling that society tells them they should "dress their age", many women over 50 steer away from trends and fashionable items. Don't! Sure, maybe hopping on too risky or revealing trends is not a good idea, but don't give up on trends. Do the trends that you like and that match your mature style. Check out Linda Fargo sporting a fur scarf, Julianna Moore wearing wide leg pants, and Linda V Wright rocking the oversized trend.

Don't be scared of color

Don't be afraid to wear bright colors. Incorporating a bright color into a monochrome outfit will create a powerful effect.

Opt for bigger patterns

Stylists generally advise that the older you get, the bigger and bolder the patterns should be. The exception is the notoriously tricky animal prints. So leave leopard spots and zebra stripes for shoes and accessories.
