Let’s talk some midlife fashion hacks to help slim our silhouette.
Fashion trends often seem crazy and unflattering to most of us in midlife. But this year, there are some fabulous trends that are easy to wear and are very flattering.
3 Midlife Fashion Hacks For Fall:
1. Tailored Vests/Waistcoats:
Yes! Vests are back in and when you find one that fits you well, there is nothing like it. Avoid the boxy menswear looking ones that just have lining at the back. You are looking for a feminine style that will cinch your waist and give you some coverage and support around your midsection.
How to wear this midlife fashion hack: Wear it over any item that needs a little extra waist shape or a slightly too tight top that needs some extra coverage. If it is well tailored, it will give you shape and create the illusion of an hourglass shape.
2. Wide Leg Pants And Jeans:
Wide leg pants can be a girls best friend and a great midlife fashion hack. They can balance your curves and make your legs look way long! However, you do need to find the right shape for them to work their magic. Look out for a cut that fits well in the waist and hip and flare into a wide leg from there. If they are wide everywhere, it will just add unwanted bulk. If you can find a pair with stretch, that will be the ultimate in comfort and style

How to wear this midlife fashion hack: You want to balance the volume of the pants by wearing shorter, more fitted tops, blouses and jackets. If you are comfortable to tuck your tops in, this will work well to give shape to your less than shapely tops.
3. Wide Belts Worn Into The Smallest Part Of Your Waist:
Belts are huge this season. Now I know for many women this sounds counterintuitive when you want to disguise your tummy, but it actually works. Wearing a wide belt high up in your waist often draws attention to your waist and away from your tummy. Try it, I promise you’ll be thrilled with the results.
How to wear this midlife fashion hack: You probably have dresses and tops in your closet that could use a little extra shape. Try belting them and then moving the extra folds of fabric to the places you want a little more coverage. It may feel weird at first, but trust me when I say, the discomfort you feel at first will be outweighed by how you look.
