They say there is a time for everything. We don���t blame SATC for your newfound boldness to sport an oversized corsage like Carrie but once the curtains fall and the lights are on (quite literally), you���ll realise anti-wrinkle products aren���t good enough! In fact, you shouldn���t defy age rather you ought to define it.
Never too old for faux pas Are you ���stuck in a beauty moment��� that hasn���t been updated in years? To be more precise think Rekha.
For the actress, who���s seen at every award ceremony in wedding attire (minus the to-be-groom), is quite literally stuck in time. You know botox can reverse your wrinkles but it can���t stop you from counting your age (or at least others from doing so!)
Big Changes One of the most challenging fashion aspects for women over 40 is how to dress for the changes that are occurring.
It is important to realise that in today���s day and time women must update their wardrobe and look, and not just feel good, in what they���re wearing. For some, lifestyles are changing while some are becoming empty nesters, divorcing, starting new jobs and so forth. As your body is changing, so must your clothes.
Fashion Sins for Over 40 Don���t dress too young. The worst thing you can do is to dress younger than you are
Skip baggy clothes and look for pieces that give you shape.
Don���t think you can wear the same colours you did in your 20s (at least not against your face).
By relying too heavily on the media to rule your wardrobe, you run the risk of being a fashion victim.
Fashion and Beauty FixesGravity takes its toll on women of a certain age, but fashion tricks can camouflage most of these problems:
Thinner hair: Your hair has to suit you. Get a fresh cut. There is a reason why most women (and we���re talking about the stylish ones) have short hair. Think Sharon Stone or Shabana Azmi. Shorter hair gives more of a lift and the variety of new products can improve your hairstyle
Focus on shoulders and legs: They are the slowest to age. That doesn���t mean wearing miniskirts but you can bring attention to legs with a knee-length skirt and sexy shoes
Change in colouring: always wear a bit of white close to the face. Soft colours ��� pale pink, white, beige, ice blue ��� bring light to the face.
