As a boomer woman, you are a powerful, experienced, beautiful woman who should be able to show the world the top qualities of what it meant to be a woman. You should feel free to dress, act, and look whatever way makes you feel the most confident. Hopefully, these eight great fashion tips for boomer women will help you do just that!
1. Dress for beauty and comfortability
The saying goes, “beauty is pain,” but it doesn’t have to be that way anymore. Fashion designers all over the globe have designed clothes and shoes that are both stylish and comfortable. As a boomer woman, you shouldn’t have to give up being trendy just so your feet don’t ache. Look out for shoes that are practical, stylish, and comfortable.
2. Wear the type of clothes you feel more confident in
Confidence is key to looking and feeling your best. Don’t feel forced to wear an outfit that you aren’t 100% confident in. For example, if you have a formal event coming up and dresses aren’t your thing, then don’t wear one! Instead, try out some palazzo pants with a fun, sparkly top. This outfit will still offer some glam, while you maintain your confidence.
3. Try colors that compliment your skin tone
It’s a fact – there are specific colors that you look fabulous in. Go through some old pictures and find the colors that you think you look best in. These are going to be the colors you will want to work into each outfit you create. For example, if you have fair skin, perhaps pastels look best on you, whereas if you have a darker complexion, maybe try some earth tones.
4. Don’t be afraid to test the waters of new trends
While most fashion trends are created by and geared towards younger generations, you can join in too. If there is a new fashion trend that you love, try it out! For example, sherpa is all the rage right now. If you find it cute, go out and buy yourself an outfit that incorporates sherpa.
5. Accentuate your best features
Just because you’ve reached a certain age doesn’t mean you have to hide every inch of your skin from the world. If there is a part of your body that you’re proud of and want to show off, go for it! For example, if you think your legs are your best feature, perhaps you should wear more dresses. Or if it’s your shoulders and arms, wear more tank tops. As long as you feel confident, who cares what society thinks a boomer woman should dress like.
6. Make your outfits versatile
Versatility is key once you hit a particular milestone in your life. The dreaded stage of every woman’s life is menopause. A fashion hack that can help you fight those awful hot flashes that seem to come on out of nowhere is wearing versatile outfits.
For example, during fall, instead of wearing a sweater, wear a short sleeve top or tank top with a cardigan over it. Now, when that hot flash sneaks up on you, you’re able to simply remove the cardigan and still look cute. If you had just the sweater on, you’d be stuck in that heat trap until the hot flash went away.
7. Don’t forget to accessorize
Accessories are a woman’s best friend. If you like to accessorize, try out new types of accessories you’ve never worn before. Do you ever wear hats? If not, try adding a fashionable hat to your outfit today. Do you like scarves but never wear them? If you said yes, go buy a few new types of scarves today and incorporate them into your outfits this week. You’ll never know what accessories you can rock until you’ve tried them all.
8. Fashion’s best friend – makeup
Some women find makeup to be obsolete come a certain age, but that’s silly. If you enjoy doing your makeup and you feel it makes you look even prettier than you already are, apply that makeup girl! Wear as much or as little as you want. Again, the goal is confidence, so apply your makeup in a way that makes you feel the most confident.
Confidence is always the goal. Show the world your beauty.
