Warning:
Your mother may not
approve...
“When you’re a teenager or in your twenties
or thirties, you can wear just about anything and get
away with it,” my mother once told me. “But once you hit
40, it’s time to step aside, cover up, and let the
younger generation enjoy their time in the
spotlight. That’s the secret
to aging gracefully.”
Just thinking about that conversation now
makes me chuckle.
| Yes, those were
the rules once upon a time. Back in the
days when the main reason many women
went to college was to find a husband,
and the only three careers open to women
were secretary, teacher, or nurse, women
apparently came with some sort of
expiration date that rendered them “old”
upon their 40th
birthday. Hollywood in particular
was blatantly guilty of this, often
shunting aside older actresses to pair
their former leading men with starlets
half their age. No wonder so many
women hated to turn the "Big
4-0!" |

As times and attitudes changed – albeit
slowly -- those old dressing guidelines now seem as
distant as dime stores and $25,000
mortgages. The reality is that
no one
looks good in everything,
regardless of her age. Everyone has her
best and worst styles and age – and/or a terrific
figure – doesn’t change that.
But there are definitely some styles that
work better on younger women and some that work
better on more mature bodies. The trick is in
learning which is which and when it’s right to make
the transition. Get it right, and
you’ll look years or decades younger than you
are. Get
it wrong, and you’ll look years or decades older – even if
you’re still in your 20’s.
So how do you know which is
which?
And when should you trade one for the
other?
It can be a difficult call.
Fashion magazines often run features about
dressing well at any age with pictures that show what
women in their 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s+ should
wear.
But they often do it using clothes with no models or
slim models in their 20’s. It’s kind of hard
to relate.
Then we hear stuff like “40 is the new 30”
and “60 is the new 40,” but what does that mean in
terms of clothing? Does it mean that
we can wear miniskirts and cropped tops until
sometime after menopause? Should we still
embrace every trend like a teenager? Should mothers and
daughters shop together in the same store?
Not exactly.
For while our attitudes toward aging may
have changed, our bodies haven’t necessarily followed
suit. We
may look younger than our mothers did at our age – or
not – but we can’t always fool “Mother
Nature.”
Gray hair and wrinkles still appear. We lose muscle
tone.
Gravity takes its toll.
The difference is that where our mothers may
have accepted these changes and resigned themselves
to matronly styles for the rest of their lives, baby
boomers and their daughters refuse to follow
suit.
Women born after WWII enjoy a higher level of
education, employment, and income than their
grandmothers could have ever imagined, and they’re
not about to let pesky little things like gray hair
and cellulite slow them down.
So what’s the trick to dressing your
age?
An Age-Defying Solution
It’s really quite simple, once you know what
to look for. Once you understand
the true power of clothing, you begin to see how you
can use your clothes to create all sorts of illusions
to look:
-
Younger or older
- Thinner or heavier
- Taller or shorter
- More modern, less dated
- Softer or more powerful
- …or whatever you like.
