Who says that a woman, having crossed a certain point, should forget about fashion?

She can be stylish, fashionable and elegant at any age. It is true: As the years go by, a woman, like wine, only gets better and nobler.

Let’s take a fresh look at fashion and women. As Coco Chanel perfectly put it, ‘Age is not the most important thing for women: you can be admirable at 20, charming at 40 and remain irresistible to the end of your days.’

As it happens, not all women appreciate and accept their age. Many try to look younger than they really are.

There’s nothing wrong with that, as long as you don’t wear youthful clothes and you understand the importance of not giving in to such temptation.

Dress smartly, elegantly and self-sufficiently. The image of elegance creates a sense of something expensive, pedigree and gorgeous.

Fashion for women over 50 suggests a minimal and concise fashion style. The softness of the lines, strict necklines, fashionable cuts and expensive fabrics will help to comply with all the laws of dressing for this age period. Choose your clothing strictly according to your size.

Here is a tip from international fashion designers. Forget about retro style per se and even more so about vintage pieces.

Even if it’s a dapper outfit by a big-name designer, you’ll look like you haven’t been following fashion for 40 years.

Start your makeover with a thorough assessment of your outfit at home, as you’ll find yourself looking in front of the mirror more often than not.

A bathrobe, just for morning and evening hygiene and beauty treatments. Give clothing to charitable concerns that are no longer required for your wardrobe.

With just a couple of sets of comfortable, yet neat and stylish home wear, you’ll look in the mirror as an attractive woman who has no intention of ageing either in body or soul.

NELLI KAMALOVA, an international model, says, ‘It was only in my older years that I discovered my potential. I learned to dress nicely, use the right makeup, and keep my posture.

There was a new lustre in my appearance. Nelli, a single woman who adores the Spanish Riviera, adds, ‘Present fashion is very democratic in terms of both fashion trends and pricing.’
