Should You Wear Linen Over 60?
The good news is that most of the dressing rules mature women should follow are based on comfort and self-awareness about what works best for them. Women over 60 who choose to keep up with the latest trends, be classy, flashy, or sporty — or all of them together — should remember that age is just a number, and whatever they would do before, they can do now. So, while artificial age limitations are out of the way, there are a few suggestions to keep in mind for women over 60 who are concerned about their fashion appearance.
Simple denims and a basic T-shirt made you look glowy around your twenties, now gaining peer visibility calls for more effort. As harsh as it sounds, you’ll gain no attention in your sixties if your clothes don’t shout Not exactly what you expected the first piece of advice to be? Add color and texture, and make your outfits smarter by saying goodbye to basic T-shirts and dull pastel cardigans. Trade these must-have «eternal» pieces that hide you from sight for whatever turns eyeballs. You’ll know when you see it! After all, the most popular fashionista, Iris Apfel, was over a hundred years old and didn’t say «no» to anything other than boredom.
It’s an excellent strategy to keep your clothes fitting after turning 60. Despite an urban legend claiming that baggy clothes hide unwanted curves, nothing is further from the truth. In many cases, loose-fitting apparel shows that there is much to hide; it just leaves people wondering how much.
Moreover, being over 60 isn’t the time to drastically change your style. Instead, be clever and sharpen the style you have loved for all these years. If you’ve always adored loose trousers, there’s no reason to abandon them for dresses after turning 60. Yet, you can upgrade this style by experimenting with gorgeous, delicate kitten heels and designer belts. Add top-notch jewelry, and welcome the new you!
