Yep, I’m going there. However not the way you assume.
I’ve thought lengthy and laborious about methods to write this publish with out ‘yucking on another person’s yum” and I don’t prefer to s*$t on one other lady simply doing what she thinks is correct, however I noticed a caption on social media the opposite that REALLY aggravated me.
It was one other stylist mainly telling everybody to put on the identical factor. She had a go at “shiny colors and kooky prints” , calling them previous and outdated and just about mentioned everybody ought to put on outsized neutrals. and it received my again up.
I didn’t like being informed that there was solely ONE look that was ‘cool’.
That my love of color and print is in some way ‘much less trendy” than greys and blacks.
SO It made me assume, I needed to write down my very own checklist of issues that you ought to be serious about while you dress, and notice, this doesn’t apply to simply us over 4o’s – this is applicable to everybody (however I needed to write down a click-bait headline so that you’d learn the weblog haha!)
1 Put on garments that deliver you JOY!
Who cares in the event that they aren’t ‘in vogue’. If you happen to love color, and it makes you’re feeling good, put on it! If loopy prints make you smile, rock them each single day lady!
Solely put on issues that offer you that heat fuzzy feeling inside – be it black and gray, or denims and jumper, or sequins and heels! So long as it makes you’re feeling good, that’s all that issues.
2. Gown for YOU, not anybody else
I believe that’s what aggravated me about that social publish the opposite day…. this stylist was telling us what SHE cherished to put on, and what she thought was ‘cool’. Nice! If you happen to actually love that look, put on it, however don’t put on a development as a result of another person informed you to.
And for that matter, don’t cease sporting one thing that another person doesn’t like – what you put on is your corporation and ONLY your corporation. Nobody else will get a say, and also you don’t have to impress anybody else.
3. Put on garments that FIT you nicely
Ignore the quantity. If it’s important to go UP to get the match proper, then get the match proper. If you happen to go down a dimension, does it look good? Or are you simply happening a dimension to honour some form of false magnificence normal that smaller is best?
Take note of how issues suit you – are these skinny denims uncomfortable your tummy? attempt a large leg pant. However for those who ROCK your skinny denims and so they look superb, maintain rocking them.
4. Put on good (and supportive) underwear
Good supportive underwear can fully change not solely your outfit, however your posture and confidence! Get correctly fitted in your bras not less than yearly (they’ll actually stretch out and cease providing as a lot help for those who flog them like I do!).
Put on lingerie which might be snug, and that breathe. My greatest underwear tip is to put on lingerie that sit on the similar top because the waistband you’re sporting. It offers a terrific line, you’ll really feel supported and garments will look higher.
5. Put on traits, ONLY in the event that they work in your distinctive model
Now I like a development as a lot as the subsequent stylist (howdy neon for Spring, however that’s one other weblog), but when the development don’t match into your distinctive private model, you don’t should do it!
So a lot of my shoppers are nervous about not “trying cool” of their skinny denims as a result of some Gen Z made a tiktok about how straight leg denims are in, and skinnies are out. Bugger that! Put on what YOU love!
On the flip-side, if a development actually talks to your sense of favor, GREAT! go for it! work it into your on a regular basis appears and get pleasure out of it.
Now I hope you don’t really feel like I’m now being patronising (like I discovered the social media stylist) by telling you what to put on. However finally, it’s so simple as this….
