How to be stylish over 50

You've seen it. Those women that never age, always fashionable, always stylish, always beautiful.

What is it about these women and how can you cash in on this ceaseless style that's the envy of every women?

Can all women age gracefully?

All women can age gracefully, but just how wonderful is it to see women looking better than just aging gracefully?

How good is it to see women looking spectacularly beautiful and confident with a look to attract positive attention?

What are the top tips you can attend to that will keep your glow throughout your aging seasons?

Nothing beats health and wellness

Genetics play a major roll in our appearance, but we can enhance or hinder, what the good Lord has gifted us with.

We see the ravages of time upon womens' looks with years of neglect.

Our bodies and our face will only reflect, just how kind we've been to them over the decades.

So first things first. Health, wellness, fitness and strength are the underpinning for a super stylish nanny.

All the money, fashion and style tips in the world, won't help if we neglect the fundamentals of looking good by not attending to our health and well being

It's also so much better to dress a fit body rather than one that's neglected and overweight.

It's never easy as we age but staying fit and strong and keeping our weight stable is always a good goal.

Be your own style guru.

There are only 2 things that really matter for mature style.Being true to yourself and wearing your colours.

As a colorist and stylist my aim is to guide women toward the right colours

Most women wear the wrong colours most of the time, and this makes it extremely difficult to dress well as we mature.

Having your colours sorted, makes the world of difference when it comes to being a glamour granny. 

Get groovy

We all can be predictable, boring and ordinary when it comes to our image, but why should we be?

Once you have your colours done and 1000's of colour options are available to you, it's surprising just how creative you can be with your fashion designs.

Get imaginative, try new things, try things you think may not suit you, as long as they're in the right colours.

Did you know, the most beautiful outfit can look ghastly simply because it's in the wrong colour?

Those super stylish women are wearing the colours and styles that look amazing on them.

So what are you waiting for ?

Have a colour analysis and get super creative with your style.

How to dress this Summer

With weather warming and Summer's sizzling ,start thinking about how you're going to have some pizzazz this season.

What's hot, and how are you going to look up to date, smart, crisp and chic?

Linen is lovely

Europe sets the trend, and this season Linen is runaway style, not only for it's casual comfort but also for it's coolness factor and that lovely chic and effortless effect.

What you'll find is linen carries all the colours, that a well informed colour fan will be searching for on the shelves or online.

Begin with those casual sun dresses. So cool and friendly and just a delight to wear on those scorching days with a gorgeous raffia hat and sandals or summer espadrilles, which feature again. I guess it's because they are so easy to wear, light, comfy and great with shorts, dresses, pants or 3/4 pants.

For mature women, the straight shift is such a flattering style, because it  bypasses the belly, which is a consideration for many mature ladies. Go anywhere by including a small heel and a light jacket. 

Many designers are making styles like this up to a size 20, so keep your eye out online for these great staples if you are looking for those sizes.

Neutrals go with neutrals

Build your look with your neutrals first. Gain the colour knowledge from your colour consultant and always start with a professional colour analysis.

Colour is the key. There are so many stunning neutrals for you to choose from in your colour palette, so be informed about the sort of neutrals you should be wearing.

Add some colour

As a colour consultant, my motto is "when you look great, you're wearing your colours", simple as that. So after you have a professional colour analysis then explore the amazing world of colour and brighten your wardrobe with an array of magnificent shades.

With over 2.6 million shades or more, colour is a skill to learn , and a tool to use, when it comes to fashion and style, so gain as much knowledge as you can about the right colours for you to wear.

Yellow, green, red and many other colours dominate the season, so be sure you get these colours right. Wearing the wrong tones in these colours, will create a very drab and aging look.

Those night's out

Fortunately, for those hot evenings, smart casual can just about take you anywhere. There are so many lovely flowey dressy looks, that are light and cool and look fabulous.

Long dresses are fashionable for Summer 2019 and there are a lot of beautiful styles around, so shop around or check online for your options.

If you prefer mid length dresses, choose a style that flatters your body shape by highlighting the smallest part of your body. Eg. If you have a slimmer waist select garments that cinch in at the waist. If you have smaller hips, select items that are more fitted to the hip. Often higher waists are flattering to the curveless figure.

Hope this gives you some inspiration, to have fun with your Summer wardrobe.

Remember - have your colour analysis first.

Cull your existing wardrobe

Shop your wardrobe and then make a planned inventory on what you need to inject when you go shopping with your colour swatch
