Bow for a 40 year old woman. Add more colored shoes. Find your midi

With age, it becomes more difficult for a woman to choose her clothes. The reason for this may be a change in the figure, which is “no longer the same”, and the status itself does not allow combining unthinkable prints, colors and styles in a set. Clothing style for women 40 years old should emphasize the wisdom, beauty, spiritual wealth and figure of a woman. You will learn how to do this in this article.

In life, there have always been rules that must be followed in order to be happy and successful. There are some general rules that are typical for the style of clothing for a woman of 40 years old. They are the ones you need to take note of.

• Don't use black! Completely abandon this gloomy tone. Try replacing it with dark brown or dark blue. Even if black makes you very slim, keep it away from your face. Otherwise, if the habit cannot be changed in any way, gradually move away from it and add a light scarf or collar to a black blouse or top.
• Focus on light colors! The older the age, the lighter the colors, so your bows need to be replaced with lighter and pastel colors. Among the variety of shades you will certainly find a color in which you will look advantageous.
• Follow the style of clothing and your own silhouette, choose stylish accessories for them. Supplement cardigans and long shirts with a belt to emphasize the waist, do not forget about small geometric bags, watches, jewelry, shoes.
• The quality of clothing, accessories, cosmetics and perfumes. Everything should feel like a luxury that you can finally afford! The children have been brought up, the career has been built, so now the moment has definitely come when you don’t need to save on yourself, but step in front of your life partner in a chic way. Refuse cheap materials - synthetics, leather substitutes. Preference should be given to natural materials, mixed fabrics are acceptable. Only sportswear can remain synthetic, and it is characterized by the use of only high-tech fiber, which in many ways surpasses natural compounds.
• Add embellishments to your look! Semi-precious and precious stones are welcome, jewelry must be of high quality and not look "prim". Bright shimmering crystals will draw attention to you.

To the above, add a good hairstyle, discreet makeup and the exclusion of endless experiments with your own hair, dyed in different colors of the rainbow. In this case, you will already begin to look younger than your age.

Having familiarized yourself with the general rules, you can move on to the details that will allow you to form a clearer and more complete picture of the style of a successful woman after 40 years.

• Clothing color. The key colors in the wardrobe will be dark brown, beige, gray, white and cream. Bright colors can be included in bows, despite the prohibitions of some stylists, but in this case, it is necessary to place accents correctly so as not to show fine wrinkles and other imperfections. Red tone should be used only in evening sets, and in everyday life, either exclude it or replace it with dark burgundy shades. A sign of elegance will be the rejection of things with flashy and fantasy prints and unusual patterns. Permissible small cell, thin vertical stripes, but in small quantities. Dark shades are relevant for winter and autumn, and light shades for summer and spring.
• Cut of clothes. After 40 years, a woman must look elegant and in no way defiant. Therefore, completely throw away sexy things that expose the chest and back, as well as mini and leopard print outfits. It is not necessary to wear trousers and skirts with a very low waist, tops that do not cover the stomach and other products that are typical for young girls. If the dress does not have a long sleeve, it must be supplemented with a bolero, cardigan or jacket. Pants should be preferred over skirts more often to hide the imperfections of the legs. Tight-fitting clothing should be avoided and fitted models should be worn. From the tandem narrow bottom-narrow top you need to step back completely.
• Minimalism. Clothing sets should be created in the spirit of minimalism and be simple. There is no need to combine several styles in one bow - this will be appropriate only for young ladies who do not have their own style and life experience. At the age of 40, the style should be clearly formed as a common vision of the world. You need to match the clothes to the situation, for example, wear an evening dress and high heels for a formal event or dinner, and in the daytime wear simpler ensembles.
• Bright accents. The following wardrobe items can act as bright accents in the image:

1. 1. pearl string
   2. opaque cream or white silk shirt
   3. elegant handbag made of crocodile, ostrich or snake skin
   4. slim black leather strap
   5. coffee, gray or beige cashmere cardigan
   6. cashmere shawl or scarf
   7. sandy long coat made of cashmere or wool
   8. black sheath dress
   9. dark pencil skirt
   10. silver or gold bracelet
   11. silk scarf.

• Neatness. A woman at any age should be careful. No grunge style, rumpled and torn things, dirty shoes and dirty heels. It is also necessary to monitor the presence of all buttons on clothes, the absence of protruding threads, uneven seams and everything else that will make the image careless.

Waking up in the morning, and realizing that you are already a little over 40 years old, be sure to treat yourself to a walk through the shopping center and buy things that you must have in your wardrobe.

• Skirts in neutral tones that flatter your figure. Their length should be slightly above or below the knee.
• A pair of trousers in neutral hues with a comfortable fit. Classic fit preferred.
• Dresses that emphasize the beauty of the figure. Actual dress-case, or rather several of its variations, suitable for warm and cold seasons. The dress should be selected taking into account the type of your figure, and the tone should be in accordance with the color type.
• Blouses. Blouses in dark muted and pastel colors are acceptable. Blouses should complement skirts and dresses.
• Coat. Focus on a simple cut and a minimum of decor. Cherry and brown tones will never go out of fashion.
• Evening Dress. Take care of sufficient length and closure of problem areas. If the sleeve is short, add a bolero, scarf or cape to the dress.

In order for clothes to emphasize the beauty of a woman, it is necessary to select her according to her type of figure, and for this, determine it from the beginning. There are three types of figures.

• Semifitted. It is distinguished by an obvious difference between the hips and waist. The buttocks, as a rule, are convex, and the so-called "riding breeches" are often observed on the hips.
• Straight. Broad shoulders, an unexpressed waist and narrow hips characterize the straight type of figure.
• rounded. The waist is absent, the shoulders are wide and sloping, smoothly turning into a wide chest, the hips are wide.

Having decided on the type of figure, you can proceed to the preparation of the wardrobe and the selection of suitable items.

• Semi-fitted figure. The silhouette of clothing should be semi-adjacent and be sure to emphasize the waistline. Clothing should not fit the figure, but it should be adjacent to it. Styles with an abundance of darts and an A-shaped silhouette are relevant. It can be trapezoidal 2- and 4-wedge skirts, as well as models with a smell. When it comes to trousers, wear flared from the hip or straight. Arrows may be present or trousers may be devoid of it. The fabric of skirts, dresses and trousers should be dense, well draped and plastic. Preference may fall on high-quality knitwear, wool, gabardine, wet silk, suit fabric, cashmere, viscose. Of the mixed fabrics, the compositions of silk and linen, silk and cotton are relevant. Too loose textures, openwork knitting with a cobweb are not allowed.
• Straight figure. Geometric and angular lines are characteristic, a straight cut without drawing attention to the waist, models with a pronounced shoulder line. Blouses and sweaters must have shoulder pads. Ladies with a straight figure type will love Chanel-style suits, straight trousers with a pronounced arrow. Rigid, dense textures should be used - tweed, organza, denim, taffeta, brocade, linen, suit fabric.
• Round figure. It is necessary to mask roundness with flared and straight silhouettes. You should focus on elongated clothing, for example, an elongated cardigan that covers the problem area and buttocks. Breeches and shorts are not allowed - trousers must be at least 10 centimeters below the knees. The same rule applies to skirts and dresses. When forming the bow, the top and bottom should be sustained, if not in one color, then in close tones. If you are wearing a dark suit, add a light shirt to it. Replace the drawings with decorative trim and piping. No need to choose clothes from inelastic and dense fabrics - the material must be pliable - dense knitwear, soft wool, knitwear, viscose, cotton, linen.

Rules for choosing clothes for women after 40

Every woman, regardless of age, has a desire to look younger than her age. After all, it is always pleasant to attract the admiring glances of men. With the help of your wardrobe, you can become younger for several years. Follow these rules when choosing clothes:

1. Emphasize the dignity of the figure. If you have a thin waist, be sure to show it off by wisely choosing skirts and dresses. The right cut of clothes, accessories, appropriate belts will help you cope with this task - this way you focus on the waist and round the hips. For women over 40, it is better to give up mini skirts, fishnet tights and deep cleavage. If you have beautiful breasts, choose clothes that emphasize them favorably, but do not expose them.
2. Light shades are your choice. Dark colors always add age, but if your goal is to visually take years away, then clothes of a milky, beige, pale pink palette should prevail in your wardrobe. Such shades will refresh your skin and erase the extra years from your face.
3. Illuminate the youthfulness of the skin with the play of shades and colors in clothes. Buy some trendy and bright scarves, as well as bright collars. They need to match your skin tone. It is these accessories that will make your face more expressive and youthful. If you like dark clothes and don't want to give up your image, create a balance of dark and light shades in your image by using accessories, shoes and other details in clothing.
4. Prints and drawings on things. Ladies over 40 should choose clothes - dresses, blouses, skirts with soft, inconspicuous and small patterns. Uniform clothes with no pattern at all will suit them. Refuse products with large prints - they add age to the lady.

What to avoid in clothes for 40 year olds

The children have grown up, the career is rising, perhaps even grandchildren make you happy, and age has steadily run from the number 40. When choosing clothes, middle-aged women make typical mistakes, among them:

• choose long skirts and dresses of a dark palette for every day - give them up so as not to look like an aged lady in shapeless clothes;
• carry large bags - they are usually associated with shopping bags for going to the market. If you do not have a desire to add ten years to your date of birth, do not opt ​​for such an accessory. Buy a small elegant handbag, the size of a book;
• flat shoes - sneakers, boots, ballet flats - this is not your prerogative. To make the walk easy and the posture beautiful, choose boots, shoes or sandals with heels;
• shapeless things that hang on you like a hoodie. These are jackets, skirts, blouses that will make you an inconspicuous gray mouse - forget about them;
• raincoats - we are not talking about beautiful, fashionable, fitted raincoats and coats, but about that shapeless outerwear worn by retired women. Throw them out of your wardrobe if you do not want to become prematurely like this;
• negligence in clothes and copying youth is another extreme for women over 40, when they put on youth clothes and think that they look younger that way. But this is not so - your age will be emphasized even more by an inappropriate wardrobe;
• a lot of jewelry - several years at once are able to add massive gold jewelry and a large number of them in one image.

Fashionable clothes for those over 40: dresses and skirts

At any age, you want to remain attractive and young. It is only in your hands to choose the right style and your beauty. For middle-aged women, it is imperative to have dresses in the wardrobe. In spring and summer in 2017, elegant dresses of various colors and styles, midi and maxi lengths, which favorably emphasize the figure, will remain popular. In modern boutiques you will find plaid dresses with trendy ruffles, long and short sleeves. With the help of a dress, create stylish bows for the office and romantic meetings, images for a solemn appearance.

Looking beautiful and fashionable for a woman of 40 is quite real. There are many clothing options for her wardrobe. Particular attention should be paid to skirts. For different life situations, you should choose the ideal model. For a casual business look, the classic straight skirt or “pencil” remains indispensable. Pleated skirts of medium length are relevant, as well as long skirts to the floor - they can be plain or with a small pattern.

Pants are an indispensable item in a fashionista's wardrobe.

40-year-old women in classic trousers look stylish. This is the perfect dress for both business and casual wear. Pants complement fashionable jackets, cardigans, tops or blouses. The main thing is to choose clothes according to color and style. For work, you can choose banana trousers or trousers that are tapered to the bottom. In fashion - shortened models. Pants with or without arrows - it's up to you to choose. In 2017, fashion allows you a lot.

Of course, in a woman's wardrobe, jeans are needed - without unnecessary details and pretentiousness. They should not have prints and youth decorations. Jeans in dark blue, light blue, traditional blue are suitable for you. Depending on the condition of the figure, you can choose a loose or tight model, but remember that too tight jeans on a woman after 40 years look vulgar. You can wear jeans on the road, for a walk and even to the office to work - if the dress code does not prohibit it.

Pleasant little things in a female image

Among the clothes of fashionistas there should be several blouses - beautiful, stylish and seductive. Fashion designers recommend that middle-aged women wear blouses.

Winter wardrobe

In winter, knitwear, furs and layered looks rule the ball. These are common details inherent in the bows of fashionistas of all ages. But how to make a rational winter wardrobe for a woman of 40, in which there would be things for all occasions?

Clothes for warm looks

The most valuable acquisitions for the winter are invariably trousers, dresses and skirts of medium length made of high-quality wool. They keep you warm even in cold weather. In addition, for work, you can buy an office sundress made of suit fabric. Since under it it is supposed to wear not only shirts, but also turtlenecks and blouses, the cut of the thing should be a little loose. Do not forget about the remaining things that are indispensable for warm bows: vests made of suit fabric and fur, jackets and cardigans.

The next in popularity, and quite deservedly, are knitted things. These are sweater dresses and straight cut models, cashmere turtlenecks, jumpers, cardigans. Short dresses can be worn informally over tight trousers and jeans, but in no case should the dress be shown in such a set from under outerwear. Models of medium length can be combined at the beginning of the season with nylon, and in cold weather - with plain woolen tights without lace patterns and in dark colors: black, charcoal gray, in a shade of dark chocolate.

It is especially important for a 40-year-old woman to be able to correctly compose multi-layered sets in winter. According to the principle, one on top of the other, do not wear more than 2 things, not counting outerwear. Otherwise, the kit will turn out to be very heavy visually, even if you feel quite comfortable in it. For example, pair a sweater with a shirt or top with a cardigan for work, or a turtleneck with a fur vest for a casual outing. The exception is kits for outdoor activities. Here, the more layers, the better.

There are some things that the wardrobe of a 40-year-old should be rid of. These are knitted skirts, sweaters with cartoon prints or comical drawings, animals, inscriptions, sweatshirts with hoods. Warm clothes from a sports theme will not add chic to every day looks: pants, sweatshirts, suits, etc. Leave them for the weekend in nature, but do not wear on weekdays.

Winter outerwear and accessories for a 40 year old

From outerwear for a woman of 40 years old, it is best to focus on sheepskin coats and fur coats. A down jacket that is not too voluminous is suitable for going out of town, skiing, skating, etc. The coat, as a rule, is not able to provide the necessary degree of protection against frost and winds, but at the beginning and end of winter it may well be the case.

Winter wardrobe accessories are a special topic. We talked about hats in detail in one of the previous articles. But this is not the only useful detail. Be sure to purchase several diverse scarves and stoles. They can be bright, beg for eye color or mood. Stoles perfectly complement sets with shirts for work and evening dresses, pay attention to them.

In winter images, ladies over 40 should avoid rough and massive shoe options. You will not be decorated with uggs, dutiks, high boots, boots with embossed soles. Look for smarter solutions. Mittens have too clear associations with childhood to be present in the bows of a 40-year-old. Therefore, it is also advisable to refuse them. But you can stock up on a variety of gloves: leather and suede, in neutral colors and brighter ones, with fur trim, floral ornaments, etc.

Especially carefully in cold weather, you need to select jewelry. For example, thin chains are worn only with not very tight clothes that have a cutout: a shirt, a top, a blouse. Quite large pendants on long chains, wide bracelets look harmoniously with knitted and woolen things. Don't forget the false fur collars that can instantly transform a sheath office dress into a dressy one.

How many things will be in your winter wardrobe directly depends on the budget and the range of tasks that it must solve. A lover of outdoor activities can easily save on warm dresses, and a fan of parties can easily do without a down jacket. Determine what your winter will be like, then drawing up a rational wardrobe will become a matter of time.

Spring wardrobe for women 40 years old

The awakening of nature invariably goes hand in hand with a positive mood and enthusiasm for creating new, interesting images. Spring is a time of experiments, bold combinations, stylish finds. It's just criminal to look boring and banal at such a time. How to bring a fresh sound to the spring wardrobe for women in their 40s? Time to find out!

Colors and styles of a spring wardrobe for a 40-year-old

In order to get out of the winter lazy-sleepy mood as quickly as possible, it is enough to correctly use the wardrobe opportunities that open up in the spring. Firstly, at this time, with a clear conscience, you can hide clothes in black and gray on the far shelves. This, of course, is an optional condition, but it will help you get emotionally involved in the new warm season faster.

In spring, bright accents in bows, floral and floral and fantasy ornaments on things, as well as soft, not too contrasting color combinations rule the ball. Bright, warm and light-colored outerwear is the best way to refresh your looks at the beginning of the season. For example, choose a coat in powder pink or baby blue, beige, warm camel. For later spring, get a trench coat or leather jacket in rich colors. A light coat can even have medium or large spring prints, look at the photo.

In the spring, you can safely get bright shirt-type blouses and wear them to work. To diversify office sets, a bell skirt or pleated midi length in a calm range will also allow: gray-blue, chocolate, dark blue, burgundy, etc. Combine them with plain shirts and blouses, not forgetting bright accents in accessories (scarves, shoes, gloves, handbags). On a cool day, you can keep warm with a suede vest with short fur inside and a thin strap.

Since we are talking about fur vests, we immediately offer another stylish spring option. It is suitable for both office and informal sets. This is a vest made of pieces of short fur in different and soft colors. It is good to combine it with straight and tight jeans, trousers, as well as minimalist tops: longsleeve, shirt, thin jumper.

Favorite skirts and dresses made of denim, knitwear and chiffon, white jeans, bright voluminous sweaters return to sets for every day with the advent of heat. The whole color scheme of the natural style becomes relevant: green, blue, brown, white.

Another great trick for spring bows is the play of contrasts. Wear a leather skirt with a knitted jumper or a silk top with a fitted cardigan. Combine chiffon and lace dresses and skirts with a leather jacket. Pair your jeans with a finely embroidered tunic or a lightweight top with a Chanel wool jacket. Plenty of options!

Accessories for spring bows

The most pleasant moment, of course, is the return to images of lightweight shoe options: ankle boots, pumps, ballet flats, neat men's style boots (oxfords, loafers), including color options, models with elegant perforations and ultra-relevant for informal Chelsea sets. Classic boats in the spring looks of the 40-year-old can be absolutely any color, with the exception of neon ones.

We recommend paying attention to such elegant shoes with leopard or tiger print, with snake skin coloring, they will add a touch of sexuality to any bow, even office ones. But it is extremely important that the shoes in the set are the main focus: wear them with things in soothing colors, you do not need to select a bag with the same pattern as on shoes, so as not to overload the set. An accessory in dark red or green shades or black would be ideal.

Scarves are also beginning to be used differently in sets for spring. Firstly, voluminous stoles can now be beautifully laid over a dress, shirt, blouse, giving it the role of an accent. Secondly, finally comes the finest hour of elegant thin scarves of various colors and from different fabrics. They can be tied with a simple or loose tie knot, simply wrapped around the neck, adding casual chic to the sets.

In spring, bags become brighter and smaller, and there are more models to choose from. Clutches, reticules, mail carriers, rigid form options - everything is at your service!

If you prefer outerwear with short sleeves, then do not forget to buy

Summer wardrobe at 40

Women are looking forward to warm days with special impatience, and stylish images for their favorite season, of course, are prepared in advance. Have you already got sundresses, shorts and chiffon dresses from the far shelves? If not, then it's time to add this important activity to your schedule. In the meantime, we will tell you what are the features of a summer wardrobe for a woman of 40 years old.

Features of summer styles for a woman 40 years old

Warm weather gives more opportunities for stylish experiments. Colors become more saturated, prints are more diverse, and in the styles of things you can take liberties. Speaking specifically about the wardrobe for a 40-year-old, this primarily concerns the length of dresses and skirts. If midi is preferred in other seasons, then in summer you can safely wear models to the middle of the thigh or slightly lower. Such things are not suitable for work, but in an informal outlet, especially in combination with sandals, espadrilles or high wedge sandals, they will make excellent bows. In the heat, it is not particularly comfortable to wear tight-fitting outfits, so opt for straight, slightly flared and A-line models, as well as loose dresses with a thin strap.

For owners of magnificent forms, ankle-length dresses made of natural fabrics will be a good everyday option. They should also be slightly loose, look at the photo.

An excellent solution for the office and an informal exit of the 40-year-old are trousers in shades of white or beige-brown. Slender ladies can choose shortened pipes, the owners of the "apple" figure - banana pants, the "pear" type is more suitable for straight trousers.

Shorts in summer images of a woman of 40 years old may well be present. The main thing is to abandon short models. The optimal length is up to the middle of the thigh and below. Choose a fitted, straight or slightly flared cut (for shorts made of soft fabrics). Skirt shorts and ruffles at the waist look too childish, so don't use them for sets. Be careful with denim models, they often make the look sloppy.

In terms of the selection of tops, there are at least restrictions on styles: it is enough not to wear those models that show a lot of open body and especially the stomach. But with prints, you can safely experiment.

Prints in the summer wardrobe of the 40-year-old

The real highlight of the stylish look of the 40-year-old for the summer will be prints. Floral, fantasy patterns are suitable, bright geometry will decorate the sets of the most active ladies. Well, typically summer ethnic ornaments will suit everyone without exception. In warm weather, you can use brighter solutions in prints, although for work, things actively decorated with patterns should be calmed down a little with more concise ones.

A beach or informal set can also diversify a leopard print, but it needs to be taken in a very limited amount (in a single bow item): in the form of a pareo, scarf, small bag, etc.

As for patterns for puffs, they are better off choosing vertically oriented options, which, as a rule, stretch the silhouette.

Summer wardrobe should evoke positive emotions and a desire to leave the house as soon as possible with just one look. We hope you have found interesting ideas for updates to the warm season and hurry up to embody them in bright and beautiful images!

Without model parameters, you can look fashionable and elegant, you just need to make an effort. A woman over the age of 40 should strive to give the impression of a lady with taste, a sense of fashion and an understanding of fashion trends.

You should not shock or, conversely, be ashamed of your figure, you should emphasize the pros and disguise the cons, but you need to do this elegantly.

The wardrobe of a plus-size woman should be dominated by monochromatic clothes with an architectural cut - clear lines, strict styles, structural silhouettes.

From prints you should choose:

1. Vertical stripes are now in vogue thin, diagonal, asymmetrical.
2. A black and white medium-sized Vichy check within reasonable limits, for example, on a suit skirt or jacket.
3. Small floral print on blouse.
4. Animal prints for accessories.
5. Small geometry.
6. Abstraction with recognizable lines.

All these prints in small doses will adorn a plus-size woman, the main thing is not to abuse colorful clothes. Shoes, by the way, can be chosen with a print, for example, under the skin of reptiles, the main thing is that the shape of the shoe is structural and does not fit the leg too much.

Printed dresses are also an unfortunate choice, because they give massiveness to the figure. But a barely noticeable print, for example, a non-contrasting diagonal stripe, geometry with thin lines - this coloring is quite appropriate, especially if you focus on the waist, chest or complement the dress with a cardigan or jacket.

You should not buy a printed suit, but diluting a monophonic two-piece suit with a blouse in a barely visible flower is a must so as not to look boring and dull.

The forty-year milestone is not a reason to sign up as an old woman. This is the age when a woman is still quite attractive, so it is important to emphasize the dignity of her figure, with the help of clothes to make her younger. Many of the fair sex make a number of mistakes when putting together a wardrobe, dressing in baggy black clothes. It only adds extra pounds and years.

Wardrobe for a woman 40 years old: features of formation

Basic clothing for women over 40 is her lifeline in any situation. Properly chosen style, silhouettes, color and accessories will emphasize femininity, hide the flaws of the figure, emphasize its dignity. When choosing things, you should be guided by three main principles:

• Relevance. They should fit the life situations in which a woman happens to be, her main style.
• Conciseness. The absence of bright prints, an excessive number of elements that overload the image, are an opportunity to complement the image with various accessories.
• Combinatoriality. Purchased items should be well combined with each other in different styles and images.

You should regularly update the wardrobe (at least 1 time in 5 years). This will make you look stylish and younger. Things that are out of fashion visually age, even if they are still well preserved.

By the age of 40, you need to revise your wardrobe so that it is relevant and appropriate for fashion and age.

How to look stylish after 40?

For mature women, when forming a wardrobe, one unconditional rule should apply: it is better to have little, but expensive. This means that it is better to buy 2-3 expensive, high-quality items than a lot of cheap, low-quality ones. To look stylish, you should be interested in the main fashion trends, introduce current colors. You can do this with accessories (scarf, handbag, neckerchief).

How to choose a style: dress with taste

The wardrobe of a woman over forty should be formed based on her style. To do this, it is necessary to analyze the lifestyle, determining in what environment it happens most often. The choice of foundation for this age is small: classic and casual. But with sports, romantic and dramatic, you should be very careful, introducing them only in the form of some element, combining them with the main style.

For those who spend most of their time in the office, it is worth stopping at strict classics: straight silhouettes, dark colors, a minimum of decor. For other situations, a more democratic casual style is more relevant.

Why is style definition so important? There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, the presence in the wardrobe of things of the same stylistic direction allows you to combine them without fear of looking ridiculous. This is ensured by compliance with color requirements, specific shapes. Secondly, when buying a new item, you can not be afraid that it will not fit your other clothes. Thirdly, after 40 years, few people risk radically experimenting with their own appearance.

It is important to determine your style in which to form a wardrobe in the future.

Observation will help you decide. To do this, you can choose one of the public people whose image you like. Taking it as a basis, it is worth starting to inherit it. If there is something that, in your opinion, does not look good, replace it with a more suitable one. So it will turn out to create your own individual, unique image.

What should be avoided when forming a basic wardrobe after 40 years?

Office or modern style is not synonymous with extremes. The mistakes made will negatively affect the appearance of a woman, betray her kilograms, years, wrinkles. The following should be avoided:

• Excessively short skirts or dresses, youth styles. They in no way rejuvenate a woman, making her appearance ridiculous. It is better to dwell on the midi length, which has remained relevant for many years.
• Screaming colors. This does not mean at all that after 40-45 years you should categorically refuse your favorite red or orange, but they should not be key in clothes. It is better to use accessories of the appropriate color.
• State of the art prints. T-shirts, half-beliefs with images of modern cartoon characters, some inscriptions at this age look like a desperate attempt by a woman to look younger.
• Shapeless clothing. Some ladies, after the turn of forty, begin to fill their wardrobe with wide things that do not have a silhouette, justifying this step by the need to hide the fullness. As a result, it further emphasizes curvaceous forms, making them even more voluminous.
• Total use of black. Some believe that he is slimming, but forget that black also adds age. For this reason, this color should be avoided at least near the face - it makes the skin dull, emphasizes the presence of wrinkles.

Basic wardrobe for a woman after 40: how to choose a color?

The brightness of the natural image fades only by the age of 50, if not later. Therefore, you should not limit yourself too much by switching to gloomy shades, even if you need to create a business (office) style. On the contrary, delicate colors can make you look “fresh”, bright colors will emphasize temperament and youth.

When forming an image, certain rules must be taken into account. This will help you look young and attractive.

• Exclude black. This color is strictly contraindicated for women after 40 years. If it is difficult to do without it, then it is necessary to replace it with dark, but less gloomy ones: dark blue, chocolate, burgundy. They look good in winter looks.
• For summer looks, it is better to choose delicate pastel colors, blue, beige, ecru, pale yellow.
• Monochrome preferred. This is not a strict rule, but a recommendation. Monochromatic things are better combined with each other, it is easier to choose accessories for them. As a base, this is the best option.
• Don't use a color if you don't like it. How a woman looks depends on how she feels. Any emotional discomfort, bad mood is instantly reflected in appearance.
• Application of prints. Their use is allowed, but with certain reservations: they should not be youthful, too aggressive, or be based on flowers. All this spoils the image, significantly worsens the appearance of a woman.

Also, the concept of color types can be used as a basis for choosing the color of basic things. It takes into account the color of the skin, hair, eyes, their contrast. According to this, women are divided into winter, spring, autumn and summer. This is also a good option to choose clothes that will look harmonious.

An alternative to classic beige and white shades will be soft peach, mint, pale blue, pink, lilac. They can be used even in a business style.

What should be in the basic wardrobe of a woman of 40 years old?

A woman can have as many different things as she likes, but what will help her look stylish and young in any situation is a basic wardrobe. It is easy to compile, you must include the following things:

In the women's wardrobe, there must be things that will allow you to quickly create an image for any occasion.

• trousers - 3 pairs of formal and casual;
• skirts - 2 pieces in business and casual style;
• dresses, sundresses, including evening models - up to 8 pieces;
• jackets, jackets - at least 2 pieces;
• shirts, blouses - from 2 pieces;
• seasonal outerwear.

Pants: cut, colors

The fashion for women's trousers was introduced by the famous Coco Chanel, an innovator in women's clothing. Today it is an indispensable component of any image. When choosing them, you should avoid narrowed models (skinny). It is better to stay on the classic straight lines or slightly flared from the hip or knee (depending on the characteristics of the female figure).

In the autumn-winter period, the fabric of the trousers should be dark, dense, in the summer it is better to wear light, light models. Their cut must fully comply with the chosen style.

Jeans are an essential part of your wardrobe at all times. Forty-year-old women are no exception, 2-3 things are enough to create an image, convenient movement around the city or informal meetings.

Jackets and blazers are a must for any look.

Jackets or blazers have long lost their status as exclusively business attire. They can be worn with dresses or jeans. It is better to choose fitted models that will favorably emphasize the dignity of a woman. It is strongly not recommended to use wide, shapeless silhouettes, this has a negative impact on the created image and appearance of a woman.

It is better to choose a jacket in universal colors: beige, white, dark blue, gray. This will allow you to wear it in a strict business style, as well as more comfortable for many women - urban. To remove the officialism and formalism of clothing, you can lift the sleeves to a level just below the elbow (looks good with dresses or jeans).

Blouses and sweaters: hide flaws

A well-chosen blouse or blouse can hide all the flaws of a female figure. Her style is matched to the chosen style. It is better to have several different options, not only in color, but also in shape.

Urban style implies greater freedom of choice; jeans and sweaters of various cuts are acceptable here.

Business style involves smooth lines, neutral, calm tones, for example, beige, peach, white, coffee. City or evening - more diverse. Here you can experiment not only with color, but also with tops. Fitted silhouettes, small necklines, a little decor. In summer, you can diversify with T-shirts, in winter - with sweaters or turtlenecks.

Dresses: for work and going out

A dress is an essential piece of clothing that emphasizes the femininity and attractiveness of a lady. At 40, it is important to find a compromise between restraint and seductiveness. Experts recommend choosing sheath dresses for everyday wear, with a wrap, with a cut along the waistline.

There are a lot of classic models, it is important not to choose too loose a cut that makes you look fat. As for the length, here it is better to dwell on the option of the middle of the knee or slightly lower. Even if the legs are quite slender, you should not choose short models, they look ridiculous and out of place.

The color scheme is dark (but not black), it visually slims. In summer, you can wear a light light sundress. An evening dress is a must. It may have a slit or neckline. It is important to emphasize only one thing here, you cannot open several parts of the body at once, otherwise the woman will look vulgar.

Skirts: how to create a complete look

The skirt has always been associated with femininity and beauty. But her choice for a forty-year-old lady also has several rules:

• Style. A classic is a pencil skirt with a high waist, the bell or sun shape also looks good. Too puffy skirts should be avoided, they visually increase volumes.
• Length. For this age, it is preferable to wear a midi length. It looks feminine and attractive. A categorical ban on miniskirts, it looks vulgar and inappropriate.
• Color. In addition to the classic dark shades, you can choose light colors, prints are also allowed, for example, polka dots or a small flower. The embroidery looks great.

It is important to choose skirts that will be combined with blouses and sweaters.

For dresses and skirts, you should not choose thin fabrics, especially for tight-fitting silhouettes (including a capsule wardrobe).

Outerwear

A coat will help to complement the created image in a classic or business style. It is recommended to choose straight styles, the color of the material is beige, brown, milky. For winter time, you can choose, in addition to a coat, a fur coat made of smooth fur. It is important that their length should not be in the floor.

Business style does not imply gloominess, it can be strict, but emphasizing femininity.

Other elements of the basic wardrobe

Shoes and accessories should complete the created image. It is obligatory for a woman to have 3 pairs of shoes: classic pumps, comfortable moccasins or low-speed ballet flats, boots made of quality materials. Here, as with clothing, it is better to have less, but quality. Cheapness by the age of 40 is irrelevant.

The bag must also be made of genuine leather. For daily use, a medium-sized bag in black, brown or beige is suitable.

Be especially careful with jewelry. Some ladies try to emphasize their life achievements by placing a large number of rings, chains, and precious stones on themselves. This, of course, attracts attention, but also emphasizes age-related skin changes on the hands, neck, face.

You can use small, exquisite jewelry, but you should refrain from costume jewelry. An exception can only be expensive products that correspond to the status.

By the age of 40, you need to pay more attention to your own health - this will allow you to look young and feel accordingly. To make an appointment with a specialized specialist or get a free consultation, use the link.
