Give your closet a thorough look and decide which styles are not in fashion any more. It is time to put those away. Do not wear clothes that are a decade old. Of course some pieces are all time favorites: well fitted jeans, plain shirts or classic skirts. Don’t go for every new trend in the market. Determine which style compliments your way of living. The styles should be according to your taste, affordability and your figure. Try to buy those items which enhance your good features. For example; if your legs are well shaped, wear knee length skirts.

Showing a lot of cleavage doesn’t look appropriate, so avoid plunging necks and go for other options like v-necks. Moderation is the key to look perfect according to your age.

At this age look for comfort and style. Buy shoes which will balance your clothing. Medium-high heels should be preferred as they are available in various styles. When you are going out to run some errands, wear comfortable trainers. Crocks are not a very good option; they are more for the younger lot.
