How to look amazing as a middle-aged woman? Fashion experts recommend, first of all, getting rid of clothes that do not add to your femininity and attractiveness.

Find out what things should be excluded from your wardrobe after forty and what is better to replace them with. The UAportal team tells about it.

Tight jeans

Once upon a time, tight jeans were the pinnacle of fashion, but now they have lost their relevance. For women over forty, this style can create an uncharacteristic look, as it highlights all the flaws in the figure, which can spoil the overall impression. The best choice would be straight-cut jeans with a loose fit that optically lengthen the legs and hide figure flaws, giving it a flawless look.

Clothes with logos

Today, clothes decorated with logos are considered bad taste and are going out of style. Such items often look cheap, as logos signal low quality. In 2024, the trend for "quiet luxury" continues, so clothes should be made in monochrome colors, from high-quality fabric, and without cheap accessories.

Dresses with decorative elements

Dresses with ruffles and flounces are suitable for young girls, but mature ladies should prefer clothes with a minimalist design and without unnecessary decorations. This style emphasizes elegance and sophistication, and the simplicity of the dress can be emphasized with high-quality jewelry made of precious metals or by wearing high-quality costume jewelry.

Youth clothing

Clothes in a style that imitates youth fashion will not take years off your life, but can age you and make your look cheaper. Women over forty are not recommended to wear short tops and high heels, as it may look inappropriate. Stylists advise choosing suits, dresses, pants, and blouses made of natural fabrics, straight cut, and pastel colors.

Capri and Bermuda shorts

These clothing models, which were popular in the early 2000s, are now considered outdated. Even though some women over forty still prefer this style, capris and Bermuda shorts can visually shorten the legs, make the waist less attractive, and cheapen the look. To create an elegant and impressive look, it is better to choose pants that reach the ankle, which will emphasize the slimness of the legs and make the figure more graceful.
