What are the sexy, attractive women who are 40 and over to do when they find themselves with nothing to wear that is suitable? When we want to dress in a way that is stylish, elegant and/or flattering to our body shapes what options do we have? It is quite apparent that most retailers and designers cater to only the young when it comes to stylish clothes.
Women in their 20s and 30s always want to look nice, but so do the ones that are 40+. These women of maturity have curvaceous bodies and understand how to look great in what they wear, if given the necessary styles to choose from. Sometimes finding proper fitting clothing that flatters your body can be a daunting task no matter what the age.
By the looks of fashions today the designers and owners of department stores must think that women over 40 are no longer attractive. We need to start making some racket and let them know what we want in our clothes. The women of this age group feel like they are in the prime of their lives, and stand proud! These women are confident and too fashion oriented to accept less than flattering, age appropriate styles in the clothes they buy.
Many older women look young but have a hard time locating age appropriate, trendy styles that also have the sense of elegance they desire. The 40 and over woman may appear 30, but she may wish to dress in clothes more suited to her age. There has got to be more clothing choices for these women than to look like the "Hip Chick" and "Granny Grunt"!
Well made clothing in sizes 10-30 seems to be a virtual impossibility as today's designers cater to the 16-35 age range. Maybe they need to open their eyes and embrace one of the largest groups of gorgeous females in the world. There are almost 3.5 million women between the ages of 45-65, and they have a heck of a lot more money to spend than both Generations X and Y combined.
Mature women often have certain body changes that they want to address when choosing new outfits. They can flatter their body shapes if they look for tailored garments that fit well. Trying to camouflage some extra weight with a shapeless top makes you look much heavier. A larger waistline will benefit from a skirt that has a side zipper or a flat fitting front panel. Pleats will only add the look of excess pounds and should be avoided.
Wide legged pants are much more slimming, and also give the illusion of height. Don't veer away from bright colours or playful designs while you are buying clothes. You need to have tops that have enough space across the bust and use designs around the neck area to draw attention away from your body and up to your fabulous face.
The over 40 group of women have found that shopping on the Internet is a great way of finding the stylish, age appropriate clothes that they desire. There are many online stores and new people designing for this age group. Many merchants online carry the hard to find sizes for plus sized women and many new styles are being advertised everyday. These same women, that used to feel unappreciated in their local department stores, have now found a refreshing place to shop through online stores, where they are finally discovering a huge variety of available fashions. - 17944
