Basics are timeless outfit essentials! Adding trendy elements to your style gradually by keeping your closet essentials and adding trendy pieces is easy.
Always accessorize
Trendy accessories first! This makes it easy to incorporate modern designs into your wardrobe. New boots, hats, or stylish jewelry.
Layers work like accessories. To update your look, add a fashionable jacket or sweater.
Try layering
Try neutrals
Start with a neutral if you are hesitant to try something new. These colors are easier to wear and a terrific way to start with splashes of color!
Keep your colors
If Pantone's Color of the Year is bright, use it as an accent color—scarf, purse, shoe, or lipstick—for a trendy pop.
Invest in a jacket, cashmere sweater, or seasonal purse if it's neutral. Remember accent colors fade and neutrals last.
Consider lengths
Like the stock market, hemlines fluctuate. After 60, keep hemlines below the knee and avoid anything above.
Focus on design trends—A-line, pencil, wrap, bubble, ruffled, flounced, tiered, pleats, asymmetrical—and adopt with moderation. This keeps you trendy and age-appropriate.
Don't try to change everything
Over-60s shouldn't change their style. Sharpening your longtime style is smarter. After 60, don't give up loose trousers.
