Simple Tips To Look More Elegant | 10 Styling Ideas For Women Over 50 From A Personal Stylist

I would like to see more for ladies in their over 70. Thank you so much 💓

Great advice, especially about mixing textures when matching similar colours...not something I ever considered!

The thing about confidence: when menopause hit, people started ignoring me, to the point that they don't even allow me space on the sidewalk. I don't think I walked without condidence or even changed the way I looked, but I became invisible. Now I have decided not to step away from the sidewalk, but it takes extreme amounts of assertiveness, so people walk by me, not even looking at me for a second, or acknowledging me. I don't feel the fault is with me. It reflects society's opinion of mature women

I never gave up my matching, more or less, accessories, even when it was supposedly “out of style”. I love the classic, restrained look of a same-color, high-quality leather bag, belt and footwear. I so agree about simplicity, about 90% of elegance is just simplicity and restraint, the rest is about quality, classic styles and well-chosen, personally flattering colors. I’ve always preferred a timeless, elegant and classic look and I think it’s the most sustainable. We get extra mileage from classic, simple wardrobe items, they don’t look dated for a long time, and they’re much more versatile than super-trendy, statement items. I always find a few trends I love, but they are always the ones that fit into my classic style framework. The rest I ignore or perhaps adopt a less extreme version, if I like a trend.

I recently found your channel and I'm finding it very helpful. Love your tips on elegance with posture and confidence too. Thank you very much!

I have used the 3 colour principle for a while now, and I find it works well for me. Great advice, thank you! ❤

I love your advice and I'm so glad I found your videos. Absolutely solid principles I'm taking with me!

Thank you, I have just come across your channel and I bloody love it 💌. You are so amazing to listen to and make everything so easy to follow. Just going through all your older video 👍. Can you do a video showing putting colours together, especially natural colours (beige/brown/coffee etc). also you mention length of trousers, can you please do a video (sorry if you've already done these) showing if wearing wide leg and Block heels, or high or flats and if wearing straight leg trousers etc. Thank you that me sorted watching your video's for the next few weeks. xx

I have just found your channel what an amazing video Thank you.

The accessories tip is really useful.Thank you

Great tips again, thanks 👍🏼

Loved this video, now I need to raid my wardrobe. 😂😂😂😂

Comment to promote videos you like, especially with an emoji - they get extra weight with the algorithm to help promote the channel, its videos will be offered to more viewers with similar interests. Here’s my opinion of your channel, Michele❤❤❤Goodness, I love fashion and wardrobe styling! It’s always been one of my principal creative outlets, along with home decor. It’s my feminine antidote to being a physical scientist, there’s more to a woman’s life than math! Or, to be 🇬🇧, I should say maths!

🤟🤟Thank you from Norway.

When I was younger we wore our trousers very long, touching the ground. The hems frayed and that was a look. It doesn’t seem frayed hems are a look now, but I see you wear trousers that drag on the ground. How does that work for you?

❤

I find it so odd that so many 'celebrity' women like to say that there is a magical age where they say they no longer feel pressure to conform to fashion, beauty etc. or other stress situations when this is clearly not true. They say they know who they are, but they still actually conform. The difference is they understand the rules and they helped set them. I believe it is a form of one upmanship, so it is useful for all of us women who want to look good/better as we get older to have the advice you are giving.

I’ll have to schedule time to make my own clothes again. I’m an ice hockey goalie and I can’t find any readymade that doesn’t make me look fat. It’s almost impossible to feel comfortable in anything other than workout clothes because of how my shape has changed.

My fashion/wardrobe interests: all-natural fiber fabrics and materials, dresses and skirt outfits year-round, classic, elegant, timeless style in mostly light colors and light neutrals, petite styling (I’m the average US woman’s height of 5’4”, US size 6/8 and 125 lbs. (the average US woman is now a chunky size US 16/UK 20)! Both clothes and accessories, Premium High Street price range, please. US-accessible links. I love to support favorite channels by purchasing through their links, but trying to get to British ones is a nightmare. Plus, many brands don’t stock the same items or colors on their US version websites. I spent ages this morning trying to find something I saw on an influencer from M&S, no joy - very typical experience. Thanks, Michelle

Love your cream flowing trousers but they are too long! Surely they would get filthy and tattered? Personally I love ankle grazers, they look chic and show off both footwear and ankles. Love all the other advice.
