Must-have Classic Wardrobe Pieces for Women Over 50

by guestcontributor on May 13, 2012

Today, where more and more people become more fashion conscious, and more and more clothes are designed to suit all types of people, especially designs for different age groups, 50s clothes become fancier, classier, and more fashionable than ever before. With that, many refer fifty as the new forty.

Classic Wardrobe Pieces

However, that doesn’t give mothers the right to swoop their daughter’s closet. Flat abs, arms legs and legs sag as women age, that’s a fact of life. And even if they don’t gain a pound since their middle 30s, it’s not surprising that old clothes will fit the same anymore. Women wearing the same clothes 20 years ago, it’s definitely a time for some wardrobe revamp. This short entry will give tip-top tips for classic and fashionable tips for women over 50.

First thing women needs to do is to update their styles, and this is where their style starts to rule. Those boxy blazers with pads on the shoulders should be thrown away. The idea is to wear tailored clothes that flatter the body’s figure. Clothes made up of quality fabrics such as cashmere, cotton, and wool are women’s best available options. Brands such as Ann Taylor, Talbots, and Jones New York are the good sources for clothes with this kind of fabric.

Some classic pieces your closet needs to have are:
• Trench coat
• Leather jacket for all-seasons
• Pencil skirt that hits mid-knee and fitted for the body type
• Crisp and fresh white shirt

Women should understand that dressing younger doesn’t mean looking younger. The rule of thumb is to wear clothes with good combination of comfort and elegance.

Outdoor Wedding Fashion – Some Useful Tips

by admin on December 22, 2011

Wedding outfits for weddings held outdoors can be a little more creative than those for indoor events. These locations offer a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. Planners find these spaces inspiring and can easily create something unique for the couple.

Outdoor Wedding FashionThe apparel should be chosen to fit with the environment. Some of the popular locations for outdoor nuptials are gardens and beaches. This is especially so in the tropics. Many couples dream of being able to have their ceremony outside in the lovely Caribbean atmosphere. Quite a few hotels in the region facilitate this process and will plan the event of a lifetime with the input of the bride and groom.

Couples who host formal weddings outdoors will require that you dress formally. They will state this clearly in the invitation. The card will indicate that it is a black tie or ultra-formal occasion. In that case,  sandals are not a good choice. Ladies and men should wear shoes with an inch or two of heel. Long gowns are expected for women and males could wear a suit or a casual pair of denims combined with a blazer..

Outdoor ceremonies are exotic by nature. Most couples usually opt to go with traditional locations. However those who choose the outdoors benefit from the natural beauty around them. Guests may select clothing made from organic cotton, hemp and similar fabrics if their hosts expect it. These are cool, comfortable and suit the theme.

Hemp is used to make shoes, elegant gowns, shoulder wraps, pants and other garments. These will be a good choice when attending a celebration of love between two people. This is especially true for those who are vegetarian, vegan or simply environmentally conscious.

Fashionable floral dresses are a good choice for a garden event. Clothing made of silk looks beautiful moving in the light breeze that is usually found at the beach. Stylish, sustainable apparel and traditional and contemporary silk dresses are made to suit persons of all sizes and tastes.

For a garden wedding, male and female guests are sometimes able to wear open toed shoes or even sandals. At some events it is even appropriate to go barefoot. The bride and groom will usually give an indication of what is permissible with respect to the dress code. This will be written in the invitation.
