4 THINGS OVER 40 WOMEN SHOULD NEVER WEAR!

Short & tight dresses are the first item on my list of 5 things over 40 should never wear! Now, don’t get me wrong, wearing form-fitting clothing in your 40s is encouraged; we just need to choose one or the other. Short is great to show off your legs, as long as it’s not super tight. Form-fitting is fabulous, just choose a longer option. This fabulous maxi dress from Revolve is the perfect example. It hugs all my curves and shows off my silhouette, but the longer length makes it feel classy and elegant. I’m wearing an XS, and it fits true to size.

This is a big one ladies! I’ve said it a million times, Clothing that doesn’t fit you, whether it’s too big or too small, will make you look older. Items that are way oversized or simply too small won’t do you any favors, so pass them on to someone who will love them and buy clothes that fit your body to a tee. A great example is these amazing Mother jeans; they fit like a glove and I feel amazing wearing my new favorite pair of denim for summer. I wear a size 24 in these slimming mid-rise jeans and find they fit true to size.

Clothing combinations that are too revealing are last on my list of 5 things over 40 women should never wear. In this situation, it’s all about balance. If you have a revealing top, like this stunning gold strapless top I’m wearing, then balance that out with a pair of wide-leg jeans or a maxi skirt. This balance will take your look from borderline inappropriate to sophisticated in a snap. This is one of my favorite pairs of wide-leg jeans for summer because of the beautiful light wash and the fact that they are 100% cotton, so very breathable. I wear a size 24 and find they fit true to size.
