A woman's age is reflected in her dressing style, and clothing should also be age appropriate. The natural feminine desire to look good, to catch admiring glances on herself does not change when she reaches a certain number of years. Of course, after crossing the 50-year milestone, one should not give preference to frivolous youth outfits, and emphasize their merits in other ways. This age is most suitable for looking graceful, stylish and royal, emphasizing your individual style and sense of proportion. What styles of dresses and accessories are suitable for women over 50?
To look decent at this age, you need to give up flashy, bright colors and trendy styles when choosing a dress. Bright colors are acceptable in individual decor elements and accessories, and there should not be too many of them.
The mini length will not work, it is better to choose a midi. As a rule, ladies at this age are not as slender as in their youth, so it is better to give preference to straight-cut dresses, knee-length and below, sheath dresses. Be careful with the length: midi dresses, reaching to the middle of the calf, visually shorten the legs. High waist and fluffy skirts that visually enlarge the hips will not work. Avoid dresses with bare shoulders or straps: if you wear them, be sure to wear a jacket or blazer with sleeves to the elbow or three-quarters.
Long dresses look elegant, but again, not for all types of figures: with wide hips, they will expand them even more, in addition, the length can get tangled, and it is impractical for every day.
Dress depending on the type of figure for women after 50
The main types of figures require certain styles in order to harmoniously emphasize their main advantages. A well-chosen pattern and drapery will help hide what you don't want to show, hide your waist or hips, and accentuate your breasts. Women over 50 are not allowed to wear dresses with cheap shiny fittings - buttons and fasteners should be matte and fit into the overall concept of the image you are creating. The vertical strip is able to "stretch" the figure, visually removing extra pounds, just make sure that it is not too bright. Unisex-style things are not suitable for any type of figure - hoodies, hoods, oversized jackets and windbreakers, which in no way fit into the elegant image of a woman over 50.
Triangle shape
With broad shoulders in women of this type, the hips are weakly expressed. A-line dresses that expand downward will help to hide this. You can opt for a low waist that won't draw attention to tight hips while maintaining balance.
Pear shape
In women of this type, the hips stand out with a narrow waist. Straight cut dresses that hide the hips are suitable for them. Rounded necklines and flashlight sleeves visually balance the figure, drawing attention away from the bottom of the body.
Hourglass figure dresses
At the age of 50, happy owners of a pronounced waist will suit almost any style, excluding mini dresses. Accentuating the waist with a cut or belt will highlight your dignity.
Too voluminous "robes" will not hide excess weight, but visually add it, so give preference to dresses that are tailored to your figure. Deep cuts, rhinestones, sequins and embroidery will look ridiculous, classic styles will emphasize your style and taste much better.
Dress colors
Women of elegant age need first of all to "refresh" their face, without drawing attention to small wrinkles. Delicate, light colors will perfectly cope with this task: peach, coral, soft green, sea wave, milky. For a holiday, you can wear a dress in a rich blue or wine color, bottle green. If you wear black, it is better that it is not the only color of the outfit, because it will add extra years and make the whole look darker. A light top can be combined in one dress with a dark bottom that hides the hips, and darker inserts are also acceptable in those places that you would like to hide (waist, sides).
"Acid", flashy colors, which will not look harmonious on women after 50 years, even if they are at the height of fashion, are unacceptable. Contrary to popular belief, purple ages, so discard it or leave it as separate inserts on the dress.
If you like bright prints and leopard print, muffle this dress with a jacket. Large voluminous flowers of soft tones are acceptable, peas or a large cage look good, creating an elegant look for every day.
Jewelry and accessories for ladies of elegant age
Simple cut of dresses for women over 50 allows you to combine them with any jewelry - beads, bracelets, rings, earrings. The main thing is that the jewelry goes well with each other and does not look like cheap jewelry. Plastic earrings and beads are not for this age, you are a queen and admirable.
Neckerchiefs that contrast in color with the fabric of the dress look advantageous.

In summer, natural fabrics or light knitwear are suitable, which, in combination with a good cut, will highlight the dignity of the figure, creating a fashionable summer look.

Blue cropped dress
A woman always remains a woman and wants to always look attractive. Ladies on the eve of their 55th birthday are also racking their brains when choosing a dress, as are young 25-year-old women. It is impossible to return youth, but charm is added with age, so a beautiful outfit will only emphasize the acquired virtues and exquisite taste.
Features of choice
When choosing a dress for a 55th anniversary, there are several important aspects to consider that will help in purchasing an outfit.
Style
In adulthood, ladies should give preference to the classic style. However, this should not be a boring office classic, but a stylish outfit with a touch of romance or drama. Semi-transparent or lace inserts in combination with a restrained silhouette of the dress look good. You can safely experiment and choose an original model that matches the figure and atmosphere of the celebration.
Material
When choosing a material for celebrating the 55th anniversary, you should adhere to the rule that stylists follow: the cost of fabric increases with the age of the woman. Frivolous fabrics that look great on 20-year-olds look ridiculous and undignified on a lady who has crossed the line of her 50th birthday. For them, dresses have to meet two characteristics? luxury and conciseness, therefore, when choosing a fabric, one should give preference to expensive and high-quality samples.
What are the most acceptable options? it is silk, brocade, velvet. An expensive lace bodycon dress can beautify a woman if she has retained a slender figure. In addition, you should pay attention to the texture of the material. Fabrics with a pronounced texture will be more preferable, since a smooth surface can add extra volume to the figure.
Color solution
The color scheme of a dress for a celebration should be calm, but expressive shades. Muted green, blue, emerald colors look advantageous. The color of black coffee and coffee with milk make the outfit richer. Dark shades of red are fine for a party dress, but don't go for hot pink? it is better for him to prefer pink dusty.
Time and place of the gala event? important factors to consider when choosing a color scheme for an outfit. The use of unsaturated colors can lead to the fact that the image of a woman will fade and become expressionless. Prints and designs on the dress? an acceptable option, but you should not use floral motifs that will simplify the image. In this case, a geometric ornament is better suited.
The use of black for a dressy dress is fraught with some danger. Can a black dress be the pinnacle of elegance in one case, but in another? looks simple and trite. In addition, it should be understood that with age, black is less and less suitable for women. There will be light tones to the face, they make the lady younger and refresh her image. If you liked the black dress so much that you can't resist buying, then you should resort to using contrasting accessories.
Length
The most optimal dress length for 55 years is slightly below the knee or to the middle of the calf. If the choice fell on an outfit whose length reaches the floor, then you should be careful not to use bright colors and a large pattern.
Style
The style of the dress for the celebration is chosen depending on the type of figure.
If the figure looks like an hourglass, then you can safely choose any silhouette of the outfit, and place the emphasis on the waist.
The most suitable cut for an apple-shaped figure is a straight fit or models with a flared skirt.
A-line flared at the bottom? the best option for ladies with a pear-shaped figure. With the help of drapery, you can successfully hide excess fullness.
The style of the dress should not be tight-fitting, but the hoodie will be inappropriate. A strict, laconic silhouette (fitted or straight) will allow a woman to look attractive and stylish. Isn't it scary if there is no wasp waist? you can use a slouch or make the dress high waist. Drapery comes to the rescue if you need to hide problem areas.
Pay attention to the forearms and shoulders. If they are chubby, then a 3/4 sleeve or up to the middle of the shoulder is optimal. You can visually raise your shoulders or expand them using overhead hangers. Using a round neckline or lantern sleeves will also help improve the situation.
You should not draw attention to the décolleté area, as age-related changes inevitably affected it. A plunging neckline is more suitable for young women, and mature ladies can hide imperfections with a transparent fabric.
At any age, a woman can look fresh and exude confidence with the right clothes. For the 50th anniversary, the best choice will be an evening dress that will emphasize the solemnity of the moment and the best external qualities of its owner.
Peculiarities
Women of this age already have a wealth of experience in the selection of clothes. Most of them notice the styles, colors, lengths that are most suitable for themselves. At the age of 50, there is no need to radically change the selection criteria. At this age, it is too early to put on fully closed dresses. But the image should show the elegance, restraint of a wise woman who knows her own characteristics and has her own taste.
The listed characteristics of the outfit do not imply a deep neckline or high necklines. Flashy colors, tight-fitting styles and youth trends will be superfluous. The main tasks of the dress are to correct the harmonious silhouette and emphasize the dignity of the figure.
How to choose
First of all, when choosing a dress, you need to build on the type of figure. Any woman should strive to create a balanced silhouette. The shoulder line should visually match the width of the hip line. The waist can be accentuated with a belt in contrasting colors. You can use dresses with small draperies in those parts of it that lack volume.
Additional restrictions arise for women of large size or short stature.
For full large sizes
For overweight women, shapewear will help create a slimmer silhouette. In order to tighten the belly, you can wear tight-fitting tights. Dresses are recommended to use a loose semi-fitted silhouette below the knee. High-cut dresses will do. To help stretch the silhouette:
- Vertical lines on clothes;
- V-neck;
- Maxi length for women of medium and tall height.
- Dresses with small prints;
- With horizontal directions;
- From thin jersey;
- Slim fit;
- With bright elements in the area of problem areas.
For short stature
For short stature, it is recommended to use a moderate color palette in clothing. It is better to choose a dress of a monochromatic length just below the knee. The V-neckline, vertical lines, herringbone stripe and high waist will help to lengthen the silhouette. It is recommended to choose shoes with heels. The straps on the shoes shorten the length of the legs, so classic pumps will be the most suitable.
You can complement the image with long jewelry, a scarf and a small handbag. Floor-length dresses for low women can also be worn, but always with shoes with heels.
Popular styles
You should not choose baggy things that give the impression of a lack of beautiful forms and femininity. You can use straight or semi-fitted dresses, complex cut, dresses with sleeves and a delicate neckline.
Color spectrum
The most preferred color solutions for women over 50 are pastel colors, beige, sand, noble shades of red, brown, emerald, bottle, sea wave.
With the appearance of gray hair in a woman's appearance, bright colors are replaced by more muted colors, corresponding to the changing natural spectrum. The usual color scheme may not change, but in this case it is better to use colors that are less saturated, their lighter shades. The right combination of clothing color and appearance will make a woman look younger.
Length
The most versatile length for women over 50 is just below the knee. You can use any other length below this mark, but taking into account the external features.
Fabrics and textures
High-quality, noble material is an integral part of an elegant look. The dress can be made of chiffon, brocade, velvet or thick lace.
Shiny fabrics should be discarded. They highlight any imperfections in the figure and skin. Sequins, rhinestones, bugles do not support the status and wisdom of a woman. But a delicate overflow on the fabric may be present.
With lace
Dresses with lace attract the attention of women at any age. All lace or with inserts, it looks luxurious in both dark and light colors. However, you need to be very careful with him. An improperly chosen lace dress carries a note of overt sexuality, which can compromise a woman. An integral part of such a dress should be a cover made of dense fabric, reaching to the knees and below.
According to stylists, the basis of a successful image at any age is the naturalness of a woman. Correctly selected clothes, hairstyle and makeup can make a woman ten and twenty years younger. A rejuvenating effect is produced by light colors in the wardrobe, minimalism in the image, moderately tight clothing. When choosing a color, stylists pay attention to the natural palette: the color of the eyes, hair, skin. Clothes of natural colors are harmonious, refreshing the face.
Many women in their 50s have retained the beauty and slenderness of their legs and do not want to give up the length of dresses above the knee. Stylists recommend in such cases to pay attention to the oval of the face. If it has changed, then the length of the dress and the length of the sleeve must still correspond to the age. Otherwise, the impression of youth clothing on the age model is created. In this case, the sleeve should be from the middle of the shoulder and below.
