How to dress at 50, tips from our fashion consultants

30 MARCH 2022

Today's 50-year-old woman has nothing in common with the classic 50-year-old of the last century. The Americans even consider that 50 is the new 30! And indeed, women in their fifties have gained in self-confidence, accept their morphology well, and assert their style.

However, to stay stylish, look younger than your age and assert your changing figure, you need to be aware of the latest fashion trends. Elora, a brand committed to your beauty and well-being, gives you advice and tips on how to dress with style when you're 50.

How should 50-year-olds dress?

A common mistake made by women aged 50 is to hide behind baggy clothes to conceal a few curves. Even if your waistline is getting rounder, it's important to stay chic without looking old in inappropriate clothes.

Among the looks that work well for your age are, of course, pieces such as a trench coat, a Blink shirt or elegant trousers. Add some cool, youthful details and accessories, but avoid the total youth look!

Many 50-year-old celebrities wear a pair of jeans, because they look younger, whatever shirt, jumper or jacket you opt for. They really are an essential part of your wardrobe, and should be well tailored.

At 50, to assert your self-confidence, go for the masculine look with a men's suit or change your hairstyle for a bolder result.

On the other hand, avoid a profusion of colours that lack chic or badly cut haircuts that age all women!

Morphology at 50

You thought you could escape it, but your morphology is changing. Some of your clothes no longer fit or don't match the image you want to project.

Your body has a tendency to thicken. Slim down your waist and show off your assets.

To achieve this, a light shirt worn with a skirt or trousers and bloused will become your best ally.

In the same style, to show off your legs, opt for a shirt dress with sleeves, combined with a belt to mark your waist and a few trendy accessories and jewellery.

Whatever the case, every woman is different, and you need to adapt your clothes to suit your body type.

Dressing room essentials for 50-year-olds

A pair of leather shoes with high heels, an elegant coat in a noble material, a light jacket and tailored trousers are all essential pieces for your dressing room.

Among your must-have accessories, choose a chic handbag, some discreet jewellery and a scarf to match all your outfits. Dare to wear a hat for a truly unique look.

If you need ideas or advice, take a look at one of her Instagram posts, where you'll find lots of photos of outfits worn by women in their 50s. Karina Vigier's blog, for example, is a veritable ode to women in their fifties, with different looks for every occasion.

Colour combinations for 50-year-olds

Be careful not to make too many colour combinations, but at 50, say goodbye to black, which hardens your features.

Your life is taking a new turn and you need to add colour and style. Unless your body shape dictates otherwise, wear light colours, pastels and original shades such as fir green, anthracite grey or navy blue, which are elegant and timeless.

You can also include neutral colours in your wardrobe, such as white, beige and ecru, to brighten up your complexion in any season.

Elora cares about your beauty and will help you choose the right clothes for your age and shape.
