Taking a buddy along will be of great help during this kind of shopping. He/she will be able to help you choose the right kind of combinations that look great on you.
Here are 14 smart tips to help you look sexy at 40
- Stay away from figure-hugging clothes; they only emphasize your age
- Stay away from teen brands; opt for brands made for your age group
- Buy that kind of clothes that essentially boost your confidence
- Do not wear deep necked dresses
- Wear the top un-tucked – it will camouflage a heavy waistline
- Wear vertical striped patterns rather than horizontal to create an illusion of being slimmer
- Wear clothes that emphasize what is attractive about your figure and hide what isn’t
- Well cut clothes make you look more attractive than the revealing ones at this age
- Buy different clothes for different dos; you cannot wear bright colors and dare-to-be-different suits for your children’s school events! Keep the attire sober, without appearing dowdy; keep it trendy without appearing loud. Your children will love you for this
- For parties and evening dos choose a backless gown; a long gown with a slit is fine too if it makes you look cool and stylish
- If you have great legs, a mini skirt is not a no-no at all; if you have nice calves, wear a knee-length skirt to show them off
- Remember to polish your toenails and wear shoes that show them off
- Wear trendy but sensible shoes like sandals with kitten heels (shoes with a two-inch slender heal)
- Style your hair in a manner that accentuates your looks; seek the advice of your beautician for more tips about your hairstyle and make-up
Whatever you wear, take care to see that the general style emphasizes class, dignity, and elegance. The right diet, enough sleep, regular exercise, and a generally healthy lifestyle will help maintain your attractive appearance …maybe you will be sought for advice about “how to look wonderful even after 50” eventually!
