Age is Just a Number: Embracing Style at Any Stage

You Go Girl

Let me say this loud and clear: style has no expiration date. It’s how you rock it and the confidence you exude.

I often hear women say specific trends, colors, or pieces aren't "appropriate" past a certain age. “She knows she’s too old for that.” But here's the truth: style is ageless. Whether in your 20s, 40s, or 70s, you have every right to dress in a way that makes you feel your best.

Some of the most stylish women I know and follow are those who embrace their individuality and let their confidence shine through. Take a moment to think about the women who inspire you. Chances are, their style isn't defined by their age but by their authenticity. They own their look.

Here's how you can embrace your style at any stage of life:

• Wear What Brings You Joy: If it makes you smile, wear it. Don't let anyone dictate what's "appropriate" for you.

• Play with Trends (Your Way): Trends are meant to inspire, not define. Adapt them to fit your personal style.

• Invest in Timeless Pieces: Certain staples—like a well-fitted blazer, classic trench coat, or slip skirts and tailored trousers—transcend trends and work for every age.

This week, let's celebrate the beauty of ageless style. You got it, and you are beautiful, do you, girl!

Try This:

1. Look for style inspiration from women of different ages (on social media, in your community, or even celebrities). Keep your personal style in mind and focus on muses with similar styles. This way, you don't get overwhelmed and confused about your core.

2. Invest in timeless staples that work at any age, like a trench coat or a great pair of trousers. These pieces are great bases for any outfit formula.

3. Break a "style rule" you've heard about dressing for your age—wear what makes you happy.

4. Mix modern trends with classic pieces for a balanced, fresh look.

5. Try a bold statement this week, like wearing bright colors or an eye-catching accessory; forget age.

Question For You:

What's one "style rule" you've ignored or broken that made you feel empowered?

For me, menswear is not just for men. I love a good men's blazer belted with a slip skirt, a tee and jeans, or leggings and a boot.
