How women dress at each age

The clothing a woman wears both on a daily basis and on special occasions reflects her thoughts, maturity, and the way she looks at life. In this way, the way a woman dresses changes with age as she matures and achieves her dreams and independence.

At 20

At this stage of life, the woman is leaving the little girl side and enjoying her woman side more. Moreover, it is a phase of independence, which is also reflected in the very creative and youthful clothing. At 20, the woman likes to show sensuality and so bet on the necklines, slits, lace and short lengths. During the day, a lightweight floral print dress looks great for women in their 20s. For the night, more structured fabrics that show more curves and shines can be used as long as they are just right.


At 30

This phase is already more mature and a little more stable. In general, 30-year-old women have already achieved many dreams, such as having financial independence, having children, or getting married. At 30, women prefer elegance to fashion. The very sexy pieces are already set aside and the most measured femininity comes into play. No necklines, tight pieces or very short lengths, but elegant, comfortable and quality clothes.

At this age what prevails is common sense when dressing, without exaggeration. It is sensuous to show body parts such as your lap and shoulder, as long as it is just right. The lengths of skirts, shorts and dresses range from medium to long but it is important to balance the looks with bolder accessories to break some of the seriousness of the outfit.

At 40

At this age the woman is already more confident, independent and stability predominates. At 40, the women's wardrobe is full of clean pieces, without exaggeration, in well-designed and high quality models. At this stage, the ideal is to bet on modern and chic looks like straight pants and shirts. Tailoring is a great choice for women in their 40s.


Details such as necklines, ruffles, prints or lace are avoided or are minimal details in the pieces, not to give a look of little girl, because it does not match this age and may seem somewhat vulgar. High heels and jewelry are the right choices for composing discreet and sexy looks at this age.

At 50

The pieces worn by women at this age should be more subtle so as not to draw attention to the signs of age that are already beginning to appear. The straight trim, which does not make much of the silhouette, are ideal for this phase. Betting on jewelry that enhances the face is the best way to enhance your beauty. Pointed toe shoes and closed sandals fit women of 50.

At 60

At this stage of a woman's life the body already suffers from hormonal and metabolic changes that can lead to weight gain and loss of skin elasticity. Therefore, at this age, women are better off with tighter clothes that do not leave their laps and arms exposed, preferably in more structured fabrics. An interesting option for the 60-year-old woman is to invest in tailors and blazer and pants sets.

The looks tend to the most classic and elegant, avoiding jeans, t-shirts or very sporty combinations. Short dresses with thin straps do not match this age, but dresses in straighter cuts and below the knee. Jewelry such as pearl necklaces value the beauty of women at this age.

The important thing, regardless of age, is that you feel good and confident about what you wear. Always try to dress with common sense, keeping the balance of looks without exaggeration. Thus it is easier to hit the looks and always be well dressed.
