“She looks like mutton dressed as lamb.”

The dreaded phrase none of us ever want people to say about us as we get older.

Over the years, you start to realise that less is more when it comes to your clothing. The number of items in your wardrobe declines and you settle for simpler, more versatile pieces. Getting older doesn’t mean that fashion has to go out the window though. Invest in these timeless items to ensure you stay looking stylish day in day out.

 

  1.    A midi Skirt

Midi skirts are flattering, comfortable and conceal all manner of sins. Choose a flowing style in a single colour or a monochrome design. Garish, printed patterns are a no-go when it comes to skirts. Pair your midi skirt with a plain long-sleeve t-shirt for eveningwear or a white vest top for summer occasions.

  1.    Mid-height court heels

For something leg-lengthening, that’s still easy to walk in, turn to mid-height heels. Perfect for a theatre visit, dress court heels up with a black dress with a chiffon or organza overlay to ooze class from head to toe. Your date for the evening won’t believe quite how lucky he is.

  1.    A lightweight trench coat or mac

Beige but by no means boring. Trench and mac coats are the perfect wardrobe item that will take you from season to season. Add layers beneath a beige trench coat during the colder months to warm up. Just wear a lightweight coat alone as the weather warms up, being sure to tie the flattering belt to cinch in that lovely waist of yours. An umbrella can do all the hard work when the oh-so-British rain showers do hit!
