Dressing Well in Your 50’s Hitting the milestone of a middle-age marker is no reason to let style fall to the wayside. In fact, it's more of a reason to step up your game and dress sleeker than ever. While you may feel like your body isn't exactly working with you like it used to, there are so many tricks out there for how to dress over 50 and enjoy your sixth decade in style. Confidence levels spike with age, and now that you're well seasoned, let your wardrobe reflect that self-esteem! 1. Choose small prints that work for you
3. Leggings are for the gym
Ladies, a large, bold pattern can unfortunately be your downfall. A smaller print, however, that’s not worn head-to-toe can do wonders for slimming the body and serving as a bold conversation piece.
Fine, you can wear them around your house, too, but that’s it. Leggings are officially no longer appropriate.
2. Go for the chicness of a pocket square
Now that you’re in your 50s, you can likely afford better quality stuff. But just because you’re indulging in more well-known, expensive brands, doesn’t mean that you should be flaunting it across your chest. Choose pieces with subtle branding only–as in the form of a small logo rather than a large print word.
Men, you’ve been waiting your whole life to be mature enough to pull of a pocket square. Now that you’re in your 50s, you’ve aged like fine wine and there’s no better time.
4. Choose subtle branding
5. Keep heels to a minimum Too-high heels sometimes encourage bad posture behavior. And worse: They can create the illusion of saggy boobs, which let’s face it—no woman in her 50s wants! Instead, keep heels age-appropriate and on the lower side.
