Forever-Fabulous Fashion: Must-Have Style Tips for 50-Somethings

"Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." ~Mark Twain

As the Baby Boomers in this country come of age, it certainly seems that 50 is the new 30!

The old-fashioned ideas, thoughts and images of 50-year-olds are certainly banished when these active individuals strive to live a fulfilling and exciting life.

Most Baby Boomers are reaching (or nearing) the age of retirement, and they have alternative goals and methods for their lifestyle.

Additionally, unlike some of their mothers, many women in their 50s these days have a sharply-developed fashion sense and style, always dressing their best in a variety of situations.

If you find yourself in your 50s and struggling to decide what to wear for any occasion, please allow me to offer you this simple guide.

These tips will allow you to dress for success for any situation.

Choose clothing that showcases your personality.

When it comes to finding items that should be in your wardrobe, look to find pieces that express your individual interest and personality.

Consider shopping at unique shops or boutiques to find those one of a kind items that will certainly win you a great many compliments.

Whether you choose to invest in a great jacket, sweater, dress, sweater, skirt or a beautiful shawl, you should work to adapt this unique item into a variety of outfits.

Shop for clothing that flatters your body and is stylishly age-appropriate.

While you may feel like a teenager, it might not be the best idea to dress like one!

If you find you are swapping clothes with your kids or grandkids, then maybe it's time to consider doing a little something more for yourself.

Of course, you are certainly not ready for “old lady” staples, so strive to find clothing that best fits your age and this point in your life.

Furthermore, choose items of clothing that best fits your size and shape of your body. As we age, attention may need to be shifted from different parts of our bodies and onto more flattering parts, so strive to find items that showcase your body in the best light possible.

Accessorize! Accessorize! Accessorize!

Everyone needs a fun and funky accessory that makes a ho-hum outfit completely unforgettable!

Regardless if you are looking for a piece of jewelry, super bag, great pair or shoes, or fashionable scarf, an accessory can make or break an outfit. Furthermore, you will be able to get more wear out of your wardrobe if you have a variety of accessories to keep your staple items looking different and unique.
