Fashion After 50 & Aging Gracefully

Fashion after 50 is alive and well! There’s no doubt that aging gracefully is a big part of the idea behind 50 is the new 40 , but settling on a fitting style and current fashion after turning fifty is still a challenge for many. Yet we’ve all seen them. Walking down the street or shopping in the mall, we come across an absolutely stunning 50, 60, or 70 year-old woman. They are head-turners even in their golden years! What is it that these women have that makes them so uniquely attractive? What fashion tips can you use?

Turning fifty doesn’t necessarily mean you wake up one morning and find your jeans don’t fit, your cleavage is a little farther off, and you can suddenly see more of your scalp (with your glasses on, of course!) It can, however, feel that way! And fashion after turning fifty or aging gracefully definitely doesn't mean high collars and muted colors any more!

We’ve all heard the same advice on the "most appropriate" way for women over fifty to dress. “Wear loose clothing”, “Cut your hair short”, and “avoid trendy”. Fortunately those suggestions are becoming less and less mainstream and less and less necessary for women. Life after menopause isn't nearly as scary as it used to be!! Our bodies do change, but fashion after 50 doesn’t have to mean sackcloth and ashes!

Fashion role models for women approaching midlife display the type of classic good looks and poise that make it clear they are comfortable with their age, their bodies, and their style. That type of classic fashion presence is possible for any woman who carries the confidence and self-assurance their age and experience has earned them. There are many women out there who know how to project a casual elegance in both their demeanor and their fashion sense:

Sophia Loren
Catherine Deneuve
Helen Mirren
Susan Sarandon
Faye Dunaway
Raquel Welch
Ann Margaret

And who can forget the timeless beauty and classic style of Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis, who represented the epitome of aging gracefully for all women over fifty.

Not only were these women beautiful as twenty-somethings, but time has provided them with a depth, a sense of humor, and a self-assurance that is absolutely magnetic.
