Now just what is a beautiful, sexy woman who is 40+ supposed to do when they really don’t have anything suitable to wear? What clothing options are available for us when we need an outfit that combines elegance, style and form flattering fit? Apparently many designers and retailers think that stylish clothing is only important to younger women.
Sure women who are in their 20s and early 30s want to look good, but 40+ ladies share this desire. Mature women are powerful, curvy females who know how to look good if the right styles are available. Finding clothes that flatter and fit should not be an impossible task for any age group.
Is it possible that fashion designers and business owners think women lose the desire for style after age 39? Then maybe it’s time we made some noise and demanded what we want. Today women 40 and older are in their prime, and proud of it. They are too fashion conscious and self assured to settle for inappropriate and unflattering clothing options.
Many mature women look years younger but can’t find trendy, age appropriate outfits that reflect the classy elegance they want. Just because a 40+ woman looks like a 30 year old does not mean she wants to dress like them. There must be some clothing options available for women besides those made for ‘Funky Diva’ and ‘Granny Green’.
Well made clothing in sizes 10-30 seems to be a virtual impossibility as today’s designers cater to the 16-35 age range. Maybe they need to open their eyes and embrace one of the largest groups of gorgeous females in the world. There are almost 3.5 million women between the ages of 45-65, and they have a heck of a lot more money to spend than both Generations X and Y combined.
Mature women often have certain body changes that they want to address when choosing new outfits. They can flatter their body shapes if they look for tailored garments that fit well. Trying to camouflage some extra weight with a shapeless top makes you look much heavier. A larger waistline will benefit from a skirt that has a side zipper or a flat fitting front panel. Pleats will only add the look of excess pounds and should be avoided.
Tailored slacks and jeans with wide legs from ankle to hip will also give the illusion of length and make you appear slimmer. Don’t be afraid to use bold colours and designs in your outfit selections. Choose tops that are roomy enough for your bosom and those that have colourful designs at the neck also draw attention away from your body and up to your beautiful face.
Shopping online for clothing that suits their needs is one way for 40+ women to build an age appropriate, stylish wardrobe. There are thousands of stores and new designers that cater to every demographic group. Those hard to find plus sizes are now a specialty of many online merchants and thousands of new styles are being advertised. Women who have felt overlooked and abandoned by local stores can now find perfect outfits among the endless variety of fashions available online.
