A few years ago, I found myself stuck in a style rut.
I wore the same dark suits to work, and at home, I lived in athleisure. I had nothing in between—no cute casual outfits, no personal style. It was either business or boring.
So, I hired a stylist. And it changed everything.
She introduced me to color, contrast, and confidence. She pushed me out of my comfort zone—yes, even sequins!—and helped me realize that style is more than just clothes. It’s about showing up for yourself.
That journey inspired me to become a certified international stylist and a 4x4 color expert, so I could help other women find that same confidence.
Here’s what I’ve learned: Fashion isn’t about hard rules. It’s about feeling amazing in your own skin. But there are some key style shifts that can make all the difference.
What to Avoid Over 50 (And What to Do Instead!)
🚫 Mini skirts & shortie shorts (unless you’re feeling rebellious—then go for it!)
🚫 Matching bags and shoes (too outdated—mix it up instead!)
🚫 Clinging to old trends from high school or college (keep one piece for nostalgia, but refresh the rest!)
🚫 Dressing too safe or too neutral (add a pop of color—style should feel fun!)
The Must-Have Style Updates for Women Over 50
✔️ Flats & Sneakers are IN → Heels were the standard for years, but now? Sneakers and flats are chic—and our backs, hips, and feet are so grateful.
✔️ Oversized Sunglasses → The easiest way to add instant glam and confidence.
✔️ A nod to your younger self → Instead of dressing like your younger years, pull elements from them—a fun graphic tee under a blazer, for example.
✔️ Dress for your body silhouette → If your body has changed (which is normal), the key is wearing pieces that enhance your shape now.
✔️ Find YOUR Color → The biggest game-changer in style? Knowing the colors that make you glow.
Style is about freedom, confidence, and celebrating where you are today.
