Style after 40: forget the rules
Getting dressed should be about feeling good, not following a list of things women are supposedly allowed or not allowed to wear. At CB Boutique in Chandlers Ford, Hampshire, we believe great style is about choosing clothes that work for your shape, your lifestyle and your personality.
Start with the pieces you will actually wear
A useful wardrobe usually begins with versatile pieces you can dress up or down. Think well-fitting jeans, easy tops, a great knit, a jacket or cardigan, and accessories that can completely change an outfit.
One pair of jeans, three different looks
Your favourite jeans can work for far more than one occasion. Pair them with a relaxed knit and trainers for everyday wear, add a smart jacket and boots for lunch or shopping, or change to a statement top and accessories for an evening look.
Do not be afraid of colour
Colour can instantly make an outfit feel more modern. If you usually wear neutrals, start with one colourful jumper, handbag or scarf. If you already love colour, try combining two shades you would not normally put together.
Accessories do the heavy lifting
A handbag, necklace, scarf or statement earrings can transform a simple outfit without replacing your whole wardrobe. They are also an easy way to experiment with trends while keeping your personal style.
Dress for yourself
The best outfit is the one that makes you stand a little taller. You do not need to dress younger or follow every trend. Choose clothes that make you feel confident, comfortable and fabulous.
