Now just what is a beautiful, sexy woman who is 40+ supposed to do when they really don't have anything suitable to wear? What clothing options are available for us when we need an outfit that combines elegance, style and form flattering fit? Apparently many designers and retailers think that stylish clothing is only important to younger women.
Women in the 20 to 30 age bracket desire to look great, but so too do ladies who are 40 and over. Given the appropriate choices this group of mature ladies know how to dress to accentuate their curves and draw attention to their best features. It should not be hard for woman, regardless of age, to find attractive clothing.
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 mature women look years younger but can't find trendy, age appropriate outfits that reflect the classy elegance they want. Just because a 40+ woman looks like a 30 year old does not mean she wants to dress like them. There must be some clothing options available for women besides those made for "Funky Diva" and "Granny Green"
Quality clothing in sizes 10 through 30 appear to be out of reach for today's designers who seem to focus entirely on the 16 to 35 age group. They need to wake up and cash in on the largest section of the beautiful women in this world. With close to 3.5 million women aged 45-65, all with money to spend, designers will find the 40 plus women to be an untapped goldmine.
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.
Jeans and slacks that are tailored and have the wider legs from hip to ankle can lend to a slimmer, taller look. Don't shy away from bold designs or colours in your wardrobe. Select tops that have room enough for your bust. Have nice colourful designs at the neckline to bring the attention to your gorgeous face and away from problem areas of the body.
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. - 15683
