6 Things To Wear When You’re Over 60
We all know that as we age, our style changes, but our desire to look fabulous never does. Dressing in your 60s is about finding that all-important balance between comfortable, elegant and enduring style.
No matter if you’re going out for a casual lunch, a special event, or just taking advantage of the day, these are wardrobe staples that will make you feel great and look casually chic.
Here are six pieces of versatile fashion every woman in her 60s should have in her closet. With grace and poise, let’s redefine aging fashion!
1. Wear What Fits Your Body Shape
If you want to understand how to dress that flatters the figure and boosts your confidence; you need to know your body shape.
Whether you are pear-shaped, apple-shaped, or even hourglass-shaped, choosing clothes that flatter your natural shape can make a massive difference.
Choose not to wear oversized stuff or tight rags but choose a wearing dress that emphasizes the best feature of you.
For instance, A-line skirts and wrap dresses are good for most body types; tailored pieces give structure and some polish to your overall look.
2. Wear a Supportive Bra
At any age a well-fitted, supportive bra is essential, but your 60s are an age where it’s even more important.
The right bra makes these things easier! It can even improve your posture. Buy bras with full coverage and wide straps if you want more comfort, and choose underwire support.
Keeping your bras up to date for the perfect fit means you feel comfortable and confident whenever you are casual or formal wearing.
3. Wear an Updated Haircut
A new haircut can also help to refresh your overall appearance the same way as the clothes you wear.
With age, hair changes texture and volume and choosing a haircut that goes with your face shape and type of hair is most important.
It doesn’t really matter whether it’s a chic bob, a layered cut or a pixie style – the right haircut can make your natural beauty pop and highlight the best features. Ask a stylist what will work for your hair and your lifestyle.
4. Body Moisturizer
Having Healthy, glowing skin is a cornerstone to looking and feeling your best throughout. With skin getting drier as it ages, it’s more important than ever to ensure that skin is well hydrated.
A good rich, nourishing body moisturizer ensures your skin stays supple and smooth, and improves your skin’s elasticity.
To moisturize and maintain soft skin all day long, you’ll be looking for products with ingredients that contain hyaluronic acid, shea butter, or ceramides.
5. Updated Jewelry
Adding jewelry to an outfit is the finishing touch that can make any outfit complete or give your wardrobe a totally fresh, modern look.
Any chunky statement pieces, layered necklaces or a princess-worthy pair of elegant earrings can take even the simplest of outfits from bland to bangin’ in 3.2 seconds flat.
It pays to avoid all things outdated or too overly ornate and to instead choose sleek, contemporary, modern designs that suit your personal style.
Don’t forget, jewelry gives it the touch of sophistication as you wear your personality.
6. Sunscreen
Sunscreen is another everyday essential that your 60s can’t live without.
Skin from harmful UV rays is paramount in preventing premature aging, wrinkles and sunspots.
Seek out broad-spectrum sunscreen (at least SPF 30) and apply daily, even on a cloudy day. As you may know, sunscreen does not only protect your skin but also your skin – making you look younger and free of wrinkles!
