Senior Fashion Tips

Following a few simple senior fashion tips will help you to always look stylish and current. You don't want to dress like today's teen, but there's no need for you to forget all about fashion. Senior men and women probably remember a time when people dressed their best for any occasion, not just special ones. You can adapt modern fashions to your style and look good every day.

Most of the fashion magazines currently available cater to a younger crowd, as if seniors aren't interested in style, but growing older doesn't make you lose your fashion sense. You may have to wear certain types of clothing to accommodate some health conditions, but you should still be able to sport what makes you comfortable and feel great about yourself.

Consider these senior fashion tips the next time you shop, or browse what's already in your closet:

• Forgo fads: See-through tops, sky-high stilettos and micro-mini skirts may sashay down the runway, but those styles are best left to the younger set. There are many people half your age who can't even wear the latest fads because they're so outrageous. It's better to ascertain what your particular style is, whether it's classic, modern or eclectic, and dress according to what you like, even if it's not the trendy thing to do.
• Wear easy-care/easy-wear garments: Choose your clothing based on ease, if possible. This is important if you have any health conditions, such as arthritis, which make it difficult to fasten tiny buttons or to secure hooks. Zippers, snaps, big buttons or clothes that simply pull on and off fall into the category of easy access clothing that's easier for some seniors to manage.
• Use those cardigans: If you often feel chilly, even when others don't, it's wise to carry a cardigan or sweater with you at all times. There will be occasions when you just want to throw it about your shoulders; other times, your cardigan can coordinate with your outfit. Sweaters are for every age group – they aren't just fashions for elderly women.
• Wear comfortable shoes: You don't have to give up your heels if you've always loved them, but you might have to give up some inches if very high heels have been your favorites. Heels that are two inches or less can still add some height and elegance to your look without being a hazard.
• Don’t forget your hat: It doesn't matter where you're going; a hat, especially during warm weather, is important. In the summer, it keeps the sun off of your face. Hats can also play a fashion role. Men can wear brimmed styles – straw for the summer, wool for the winter. Women can choose brimmed hats as well, but can also top their ensemble with cloches and berets.
• Accessorize wisely: This senior fashion tip helps you extend your wardrobe. Clothing for mature women and men doesn't have to be boring, especially when you add in some personality with your accessories. A gentleman will always look classic and distinguished with simple jewelry such as a watch and wedding band, while a lady can opt for pearls or chunkier, natural stone styles. Gold and silver are always in and easy to wear.

Some people think that once they hit a particular age, they have to wear certain things, while giving up other clothes and accessories they've always loved. You'll feel your best if you wear clothing that is comfortable and that represents your personality. If bold, dramatic colors have always been your signature, then they should continue to be so. If classic is more your style, there's no need to change it. You should always feel free to wear what makes you look as good as you feel about yourself.

Don't hesitate to visit a department store or personal shopper for more senior fashion tips. Experts in these industries have a discerning eye, and will be happy to consult with you on the best fit, colors, and making the most of your clothing budget with a few select pieces.
