I would like to add dress in layers. I’m always hot. I love this discussion. I’ve been searching for something like this that is for the real world women. Thank you!

At 47, I always get compliments from the 20 yr olds! Generally, I try to appear classy yet trendy. I wear nice suit jackets or blazers with pencil skirts, pantyhose or tights and nice heels. Accessories are a must.
I also like to bring back the 80′s. I once wore a long white dress shirt (my husband’s) with a belt around it, and fitted slacks and 3″ pumps. The 20 yr olds at work loved it and some imitated it the next day.
My inspiration is women of the 1940′s like Katherine Hepburn- that timeless elegance with no need to show your goods.

HI,’
This is one of the best post i have ever seen in my life. Fashion is such a nice thing but it can be vary from age to age. So your post is the best resource for those who are more then 40. I like it very much and i think this can be a great and inspirational post for most of the people. Anyways keep it up and keep continue with your valuable thoughts.
Thanks!

I have to agree, the solid color strategy works really well. There is a lot of power in solids. I think the most difficult thing can be finding a comfortable heel! As for accessories, I highly recommend Persona charms (http://www.personaworld.com). I’m able to change the beads on my bracelet to match all of my outfits. It’s a no brainier for me. I also helped my daughter design one for herself online which was a lot of fun. She’s under 17 though so she doesn’t have to start worrying about difficult clothes yet!

Thanks to be in here after I have through the google search and found your sites.
Well,I am going to be 49years this year, in this August, so surely, very choosy when come to dressing myself. I do love to wear traditional dress. Besides that I love to wear silky long skirts with any blouses (any fabrics) (rolled up long sleeve). I don’t like wearing jeans.
I use to prepare myself for the next day….what to wear to office.
That is all from my experience.

I agree with the author. But i have to add that the problem is not only for women over 40. Im in my twenties and I like to dress fashion forward but I also look for modesty, quality and age appropriateness, and i have to say that it is not easy to find all of that together. yes there are lots of things out there,and i work in a departmental store, but i am not willing to lower my standards, so the tips are helpful. I will add: Look for the missy department. buying from the juniors dept. it is not flattering after certain age, and it does not make you look younger either. Believe me, I see it all the time.

Hi
I have to agree with Sherry. Have you ever tried to find a pair of jeans that are not going to be falling off your hip bones? Impossible. My mall here in California is over flowing with youth oriented everything.
