one of the most common statements I hear from Kiwi women is, “I’m too old to wear fashionable clothing.” They say they would like to look more current, but feel unsure of how to translate trends to work for them. These lovely ladies shrug their shoulders and settle for second best, but feeling self-assured and confident on the outside will allow your inner beauty to shine through. To me, being the best you can be means working on yourself from the inside out. No matter what your shape or age, you will be amazed at what a little focus on yourself and your appearance will do and you will be uplifted by the positive response.
You can feel fantastic at any age in these five simple, wearable trends for all Kiwi women. These looks cover day, night and workwear. You can easily mix and match garments from each look to give you endless options. Just be confident and use your imagination.
Hot tips:
Leggings are a staple item in most women’s wardrobes – they are the perfect layering garment and work well under tunics and dresses.
I just can’t get enough of blazers. over spring I like wearing slouchy ones as an alternative to a cardi. Even though a cardi is lightweight and practical, a blazer will give you a more edgy look and is perfect for sprucing up little dresses.
Stripes are always in style. They make a statement and look fantastic at any age. Horizontal lines can add curves, but if you want to minimise using stripes, try a statement scarf. This will draw attention to the face.
Bootleg jeans are a girl’s best friend. They are the most flattering option for most women, creating a nice curve on boyish figures and balancing out bigger hips and curvier shapes. Keep your bootleg jeans looking age-appropriate by going for a style that’s shaped but not super clingy across the bottom and thigh areas. To maximise leg length, wear your bootleg jeans with a pair of wedges.
