Fashion Over 50: Tips & Tricks
Aging gracefully DOES NOT mean you have to compromise on style. Fashion over 50 is about embracing changes, finding comfort, and expressing your unique personality. Emilie Christenson, Jaffi’s Owner, shared her tips on the Uncluttered and Unfiltered podcast to help women over 50 feel fashionable and confident. Here are a few of our favorites:
Embrace Change and Comfort
Finding the right silhouette that flatters your current body type is crucial. Think comfortable and stylish. Choose fabrics that feel good against your skin and suit your lifestyle – HELLOOO NUD Apparel. We are obsessed with NUD Apparel’s bamboo fabric for its breathability and eco-friendliness.
Layering and Accessories
Adding personality to your outfit by layering multiple pieces of jewelry can make all the difference in the world. Invest in versatile items like a tank dress or a denim jacket aka “butt jacket” (you have to listen to the podcast to get this one) that can be worn alone or layered with other pieces.
Dressing for Confidence
Focusing on parts of your body that YOU feel good about can boost your confidence. Stick to colors that make you feel confident and comfortable – for Emilie, it’s always black.
Organizing Your Closet
Keeping your closet organized by color and season can simplify getting dressed (I’m a ‘sectioned by color’ kind of gal, but whatever works!). Move items you don’t love out of your main wardrobe space. Invest in quality pieces that you love and will wear frequently.
Experiment and Seek Help
Experimenting with different styles and combinations, even if they are outside your comfort zone, can lead to pleasant surprises. Seek help from stylists or boutique owners who can offer personalized advice. Fashion over 50 is about finding what makes you feel good and confident!
