Top 10 Women’s Fashion Trends for Women Over 40

I believe that beauty and fashion know no age. If it makes you look and feel good, then wear it! Just like your dress size, your age is only a number. As we get older, it’s easy to feel like you have to dress a ‘certain’ way or “act your age”. Yes, what you wear at 40 is not what you were wearing in your teenage years or early 20s. Just like our personality, our fashion preferences change as we get older. You want to think about your lifestyle and what you need from your clothing. We’re sharing ten women’s fashion trends that every woman over 40 needs to try.

Luxury loungewear

Loungewear isn’t just for teenagers or twenty-somethings. They’re functional pieces that you can wear while working from home or on the school run. For over 40s fashion, you want to look for luxe loungewear. That doesn’t mean you have to break the bank, instead you want to choose a high-quality material in an earth-tone shade.

Oversized cardigan

It’s always cardigan weather. Oversized cardigans are one of the biggest trends of the moment and you can even wear a matching set with a complimenting shirt underneath.

Cashmere hoodie

You don’t need to be going to the gym to wear a hoodie. They’re an athleisure essential that you can layer under a blazer for casual off-the-clock chic.

Knitted dress

If there’s one staple that you need in your closet, it’s a knitted dress. This style works for women of any age, but it’s a must-have for over 40s. You can choose a more relaxed fit and add a belt to sinch in your waist. A knitted dress will take you from a day at the office to drinks with friends.

Wide-leg denim jeans

Skinny jeans are officially cancelled – long live the wide-leg jeans! This silhouette tends to be more universally flattering and can help elongate the appearance of your legs.

Leather pants

One trend that is always making a comeback is leather pants. They perfectly balance modesty with sultry to give you a close staple to wear for any occasion.

Puffer jackets

This year, the must-have jacket is the puffer style. They’re one of the most wearable silhouettes and are ideal to buy oversize to layer throughout the autumn and winter.

Signature color

Fashion trends are all about color right now. Choose a signature hue that you want to make your own. You can see celebrities like Lisa Vanderpump, with her synonymous shades of pink, who have made a color their signature. You can take inspiration from the trending colors of the season or think outside the box.

Black and white monochrome

If there’s one color palette you want to embrace when you’re over 40, then its black and white monochrome. Invest in separate pieces that you can mix and match together for an elegant look.

Statement belt

Statement belts are one fashion trend that will never die. They’re the perfect way to elevate any outfit and accentuate your figure and natural curves. You want to make sure you choose a belt with proportions that work for your body type. You can style it with everything from dresses to blazers.
