Turning 50 is not a reason to buy shapeless and indistinct things to hide your figure, especially a beautiful one. But showing off too much is also not a good idea at an elegant age. A good solution would be a compromise in the form of universal styles with a slight admixture of trends in order to keep up with fashion. We list the best dress models for women 50+.
Light fitted with ¾ sleeves - this style suits even slightly overweight women, and turns those with an hourglass figure into the ideal of femininity.
The sheath style creates a harmonious silhouette and looks very elegant. Pay attention to models with an interesting collar cut, unusual cut or print. Avoid too closed options and deep midi lengths.
New look - the famous style invented by Christian Dior, suits all women, regardless of age. Today, the new look is also relevant, especially for special occasions. In this case, you can choose an off-the-shoulder model, like Kate Winslet, or wear a more closed version. Please note that the dress does not have to be of a retro style. Cate Blanchett demonstrates an ultra-modern new look model in the futurism style.
With an emphasis on the waist, a belt at the waist adds femininity and elegance at any age. This technique not only draws attention to the figure, but also creates a canonical silhouette from the 50s, when exceptional femininity was in fashion.
A-line - a classic dress for all times will create a harmonious silhouette, emphasizing the best aspects of the figure. A stylish A-line dress can be chosen for every day, for work, cocktails or summer vacation.
Summer is the best time for dresses. When there is no need to warm yourself, you can allow yourself to experiment with your image. For example, boho-style dresses, floor-length lace sundresses and other trends. Let's look at the most fashionable summer dresses for every day and for going out.
Boho – white dresses in the boho style with lots of ruffles and lace trim are back in trend. Sandals like flip-flops complemented the stylish look.
During the summer heat, we recommend taking an example from Jennifer Lopez and getting a white crochet dress or a cotton maxi sundress. These go well with low-top summer shoes, sunglasses and ethnic accessories.
A light sheath dress is a universal option for cocktails and special events in the warm season. A light cardigan or jacket will save you from the evening chill and make the look more complex and “more expensive”.
A structured dress in a trendy shade - for evening outings, the best option would be a structured model with a complex cut in one of the fashionable colors: mint, pink, yellow, menthol or white.
Floral – at least one dress with a floral print must be in your summer wardrobe. The highlight of the outfit are embroidered flowers, which go perfectly with pink pointed pumps.
Sundress – a light sundress made of natural cotton will save you from the summer heat. Choose loose-fitting styles with wide straps or puff sleeves to add structure to your silhouette. The midi length, V-neck and front slit make this look ultra-modern. Pair the sundress with fisherman's or woven sandals, low-top sandals or slides. Instead of a straw bag, choose a brown leather one in an ethnic style.
A shirt dress is a classic option for every day that can become a festive outfit if styled correctly. For example, a white shirtdress can be worn with heels, red lipstick and a stylish clutch. And for every day, choose simple leather sandals, a comfortable bag and sunglasses.
For summer, buy clothes made from natural fabrics, loose and flowing silhouettes. This is the best time to wear dresses made of chiffon, cotton, linen, thin denim, which provide freedom and ease of movement, and also protect from the heat.
Now you are convinced that the choice of dresses for women over 50 is huge, especially if you are not afraid of fashion experiments. Choose what you like and remember that style has no age! Write in the comments below which models or styles you like.
