It’s a phrase many mothers have muttered at their teenage offspring: “You’re not going out dressed like that!”
But it seems that when it comes to women’s clothing, that saying has been confined to the past, according to a new study. In fact, teenage daughters now may be more likely to scream it at their mothers!
Mums aged 40 and over are increasingly turning to their daughters for inspiration, according to research published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour.
Whilst busy mums have no time to monitor the latest trends and styles, their switched-on daughters do: and therefore copying them is the quickest way to choose a trendy new outfit.
Whilst celebrity lookalike mum and daughter combos have been featured countlessly in the media, the new research is the first to confirm it’s a nationwide phenomena. It looked at 300 mums and daughters, and found adolescent girls were a key influence on their mother’s make-up, clothes and hairstyles.

When it comes to over 50s women’s clothing, a new survey has found shopping for jeans stresses women out more than any other item of clothing.
The research, by an online retail network, found 67% of women said shopping for jeans was the “most stressful” shopping experience.
Of those, 43% said jean shopping was even more stressful than moving home – traditionally one of the most stress-inducing tasks.
Jeans are a timeless fashion staple – great for everyday wear and ideal for altering for going out.
However, as jeans have evolved, many over 50s have felt left behind – especially with skinny fit, hipsters and baggier jeans becoming trendy.
The best advice is not to panic – most people look great in jeans. There’s no need to buy small and try to squeeze into a pair of denims that don’t fit – go for something that you feel comfortable in, and let the denim do the work for you.

Sailor-style is never out of fashion in the summer.
Stripey tops, blue leggings and boat shoes can create a playful, relaxed look which just screams seaside.
Nautical fashion is a safe staple for summer and buying just a few items can let you mix and match with other women’s clothing to create several different looks.
Whilst stripey vest-tops may no longer be a flattering consideration, stripey jackets can look great. Opting for a fitted style will tuck-in your waist and wearing a jacket over a bright top – even red – can create a truly nautical outfit. Remember, your staple colours are red, white and blue, but mixing in yellows, and different shades can add variation.
Boat shoes are back in fashion for the summer – simple flats with little embellishment but lots of practical applications – they’re made to help with grip and are perfect for the beach or a cruise!
Blue leggings, or ankle-rolled trousers, are instantly recognisable sea-faring wear, match with a red belt with a nautical buckle to maximise the look.

Women of all shapes and sizes should invest in a fabulous belt this summer to flatter their figures and draw attention to their best body parts.
Curvy ladies can use a belt to clinch in their waist and create a womanly hourglass shape, while slim women can wear a wide-set belt slung low on their hips over a pretty cotton summer dress.
Not only an accessory, but a tool for highlighting your assets, the belt is an essential part of any wardrobe. For a twist on the traditional belt try a cool sequin scarf which can be looped through jeans like a belt, and then tied around your neck or in your hair if you fancy a change during the day.

They are the ultimate comfort clothing – easy to sling on or throw off, and perfect for the changeable summer weather. But cardigans often get a bad reputation as being outdated or frumpy.
It doesn’t have to be the case for women’s clothing.
Long-gone are the Noel Coward-esque cardigans of the 20th Century. A good cardigan can now be as trendy and fashionable as a pricey handbag or pair of flashy shoes.
One of the main things to consider is the fit and length of a cardigan.
If you opt for something chunky or bulky, try matching it with a pair of jeans or trousers as you could exaggerate your figure if you mix it with a flowing skirt.
Alternatively, a light cardigan could add something feminine – but practical – if you’re opting for a dress, halterneck or maxi dress.
Length-wise, long cardigans can look alternative, arty and cool, but try to avoid anything too short as it could make your hips look big.
