for your fab 50’s and beyond…From a Man!
Everyone has seen articles giving women in their 50’s and beyond fashion tips on how to stay sexy, how to feel good about your fashion choices, where to buy pieces that you find interesting, and many other morsels of advice. Now I don’t claim to be a fashionista but I do want to offer a bit of a twist to these articles…what if we viewed this from a perspective of a man.
Wait …hold on…I can hear you telling me about the unhealthy and unrealistic beauty standards men expect women to obtain and maintain or the ways certain men treat women based on their distorted view of beauty and sexy. To all of you I say…I AGREE!
However, I thought some of you might be interested in a 50 plus man’s perspective in what makes him turn his head and say WOW…that lady knows how to put an outfit together. I’ll let the women in on a little secret…we men notice when women have their own sense of style and better yet we find it cool, interesting, and attractive.
So that’s all this post is about. Really trying to have some fun but bring fresh and honest perspectives to you at the same time. I know men find it interesting what women find fashionable in men’s attire so I thought I would flip the script and give women the same information from the mind of a man.
So… here are my 5 Fashion Tips for women in their fabulous 50’s (and beyond)!
1. Her own style
It doesn’t matter what the style is, as long as she’s into it. It’s all about the confidence ladies. It looks good because you make it look good not the other way around! There is nothing better than seeing someone own a fashion look that other people want to copy. Be fearless!
2. The Importance of Your Signature: Earrings
Are earrings part of your personal style? Do they make a statement about who you are? Well…they should! Earrings make a personal statement about your taste and personality. Don’t be afraid to express yourself with a cool pair of earrings. Men pay particular attention to earrings that women wear…gives us insight into your personality and can be a great conversation starter!
3. Focus on fit.
No matter your height, weight, or size, everyone looks their best in clothes that fit them correctly! If your clothes aren’t fitting quite right in certain areas, consider getting them tailored. Your ability to carry yourself with that swag is in large part connected to your outfit fitting you as you intended. So… if you are going for a baggy look make sure your pieces are hanging just right…a more tailored look?…get your outfit altered to fit for your body. You get it right? Men appreciate a well-tailored outfit on a woman.
4. Now I see
You know where this is going right? Glasses, glasses, glasses…many people in their fifties and beyond will spend a large portion of their life watching from behind a pair of glasses. Eyeware can make a very dynamic fashion statement and be a game-changer. A good pair of glasses (and especially sunglasses) can turn a normal fashion day into something fabulous. So be on the lookout for some cool spectacles to peep through…we men will be looking too!
5. Get sassy with shoes.
Ah…of course! A great pair of shoes is another outfit-making accessory that anyone can pull off. If you’re worried about being comfortable in a pair of high-fashion heels, get some gel insoles for added cushioning. But if you no longer want to balance yourself on stilts there some very cool and original alternatives in footwear that allow women to make very cool, sexy, professional choices when it comes to your footwear. We all know the right outfit needs the right pair of shoes to make it all come together.
So there you have it. Everything you need to know about how men with boomer sensibilities view women’s fashion in their fab 50;s and beyond. You have the information…use it wisely! And remember Rod Stewart said it best..” you wear it well”!
