The AGE of Fashion

Every year major magazines like VOGUE and HARPER’s BAZAAR dedicate an
issue to age, celebrating women of all decades adorned in high style.
Euphemisms are born, like “30 is the new 20” and “40 is the new 30”
created by beauty editors to extend our everlasting youth. As my big
3-0 draws near, I have wondered exactly how my sense of style will
change as I move into the next age bracket. It’s not like I can’t still
rock my stilettos in the club (although I’ve noticed the length of time
I can bear them is getting shorter!) but it’s important to dress
appropriate for the age that you are. Here are a few pointers to keep
you, your mom, and grandma timeless in fashion.

20’s - Age of the Party Girl
Finding yourself and your style are virtually equivalent in your 20’s. You can
pretty much get away with anything whether it is fashionable or not.
College threads turn into club clothes and then into daywear for your
evolving career. This is your decade to rock the hot pink tights,
miniskirts, and garments with lycra and spandex.

30’s Age of the Professional
Being that you most likely will have discovered your career path by your
30’s, it is important to focus on your professional image. Whatever
your field, you want to maintain a polished, stylish, and youthful
look. Think Jennifer Garner in “13 Going on 30”.

40’s Age of the Mother
Most women who want children have them by or during their 40’s. These women
need not be caught in “mom jeans” or schlepping around in sweats
because their life is dedicated to the children. Mothers can still be
as fashionable as ever in contemporary clothing. Even chic maternity
clothes are now available by high-end designers. Be the best-dressed
mom on the playground.

50’s + Age of the Socialite
From charity fundraisers to bingo, the 50+ woman is out and about in
society. She is wearing clothes that are non-conforming to the body and
are comfortable but completely stylish. Generally women in their 50’s
don’t want to show too much skin. Wraps and shawls are perfect
accessories to keep these ladies ready for the ball!
