Let’s talk essential clothing pieces for women over 50.
You may stand in front of your closet full of clothing and still feel like you have nothing to wear. Believe it or not, you don’t need that much clothing to always have something fabulous to wear, you just need the right pieces.
So, what are the right pieces? While this will vary from woman to woman, here are some helpful guidelines that will help you build a wardrobe that you love!
“Believe it or not, you don’t need that much clothing to always have something fabulous to wear..”
4 Essential Clothing Pieces:
1. Essential Pieces You Know Will Always Fit You:
For most women, this seems impossible since it is so common to have at least three different sizes in your closet to suit your ‘skinny self’, ‘fat self’ and everything in between.
What you are looking for are items that give you shape but are not tight. This may be a wrap dress that has plenty of wrap that allows you to wear it tighter, looser or even open as a duster with a top and jeans. It may be a top that has stretch in it that you can belt, half tuck or wear it loose depending on the day.
2. Styles That Suit Your Body Shape:
This is so important, because while something may still fit you, if it’s just a shapeless sack, you won’t look fab. Look for items that give you some waist shape.
This doesn’t mean tight. There is a big difference between shapely and styles that you are so tight they look like a second skin. If your shape has changed recently, as happens for so many of us, it may be time to reassess your closet and invest in items that suit the shape you have now. For more on this, read this article.
3. Versatile Pieces You Can Style In Various Ways:
You need a closet that supports your lifestyle. If you work in an office, it may be dress you can wear with formal shoes and a blazer to work or a denim jacket and dressy sneakers for weekend.
“You need a closet that supports your lifestyle.“
If you work from home, it may be a dress you can wear for your zoom meetings while barefoot at your desk or dressed up with chandelier earrings and heels for a swanky party. This will ensure you always have something to throw on and feel fab regardless of the occasion.
4. Essential Pieces That Represent Your Personal Style:
When you have a closet that truly reflects your personal style, you can always feel fab. Since this may change overtime, it’s important to reassess your closet on a seasonal basis to check that what you have still speaks of the woman you are today. These essential pieces belong in every woman’s closet.
