Casual wear can be a particularly tricky area for mature women. Let’s face it, everybody looks good in a nice frock, but when it comes to snappy every day wear, it’s much easier to fall into the trap of dressing too self-consciously ‘young’ – or to go to the other extreme and end up looking like your grandmother. A few key pieces, such as cropped trousers and t-shirts can help you to stay on the right side of trendy.
Cropped trousers are a great casual choice for mature women as they’re dynamic, versatile and flattering to almost all body types. If you have slender legs, cropped trousers that stop mid-calf are a great way to emphasise the length without making you look too skinny. Curvy or plus sized women can buy cropped trousers that are more flared towards the bottom to help to balance out your figure.
In general, overly clingy clothes are best avoided as we get older, so pair your cropped trousers with a T-shirt that drapes attractively over your figure. Avoid anything overly loud or patterned, stick to rich, deep colours such as blacks, and dark reds and blues, or attractive neutrals such as white and rose-pink.
In terms of footwear, cropped trousers can work with almost any kind of shoe, from sandals to derby shoes and loafers. This means you can build an outfit around them all year round and for almost any everyday occasion, from the office to casual weekend wear. However, try to avoid heavier looking shoes as these can sometimes create too much contrast, leading to a slightly mismatched look.
Another major problem that older women can have when shopping for trendy yet age appropriate casual wear is where to buy them? High street stores tend to cater only for women from 15-35, and there’s a real lack of stylish, affordable stores that cater to an older market. That’s where online catalogue shopping can be a really good resource. You can generally find a much more varied selection in online stores, often at much more competitive prices. Plus you don’t have to brave a changing room filled with women young enough to be your daughters!
Look out for reputable and well-regarded online catalogue stores that offer an extensive range of clothes for older women, and offer free return policies in case you’re not satisfied with your purchase. That way you can shop at your own pace, from the comfort of your own home, with no risk of wasting money on an unflattering item. What could be better than that?
