One key thing to realise with regards to dressing yourself at the age of 40 is that you can’t wear the same things you wore when you were 21. Getting that classy look is easy if you stick to a few key rules, and it can also be very rewarding.
Finding trousers which suit your shape can be difficult. If you feel confident in classic cuts and preppy shirts, you should always look to purchase straight-leg and bootcut trousers.
If you see yourself as more of a Boho chick, you may want to throw away any standard jeans and go for a pair of leggings in black or denim. Leggings worn with a long sweater that hits mid-thigh length is great for smart casual occasions whilst giving you that rock chick edge.
Cropped trousers can only be worn by women with a certain figure, which is a common mistake many women make. Women that are very tall and thin can wear cropped trousers, but the fuller figure should always opt for a capris cut, as this will draw attention down to the ankles.
When shopping for skirts, dark colours such as chocolate and navy are essential part of women’s clothing for every wardrobe as spring approaches.

The summer has finally arrived and with it the most gorgeous sunshine and hot weather. Most of us wouldn’t dream about complaining about the heat, but it can sometimes be difficult to look stylish and keep cool on really hot days in the summer. There is nothing worse than feeling hot and uncomfortable and a red shiny face is not the most stylish of looks so if you can find beautiful clothes that also keep you comfortably cool, you have definitely cracked the secret to looking great in the summer. As a rule loose fitting clothes in natural fabrics will be the coolest. Light colours also absorb less heat and bright colours look amazing in the bright sunshine. Some other great tips for keeping really cool are investing in a sun hat and sitting in the shade most of the time (this will also be good for your skin), carrying a water spray to spritz your face if really hot, drinking plenty of cold drinks (especially water) and running your wrists under the cold tap for a minute or two. A great pair of summer sandals will also ensure that your feet are lovely and cool and also look great, don’t forget to paint your toenails in a beautiful bright summer colour.
Juicy coloured sun dress -an empire line sun dress is incredibly flattering as it skims over the tummy, hips and thighs. The lack of sleeves will also keep you nice and cool but be careful if sitting out in the sun that your shoulders don’t burn. The creased fabric of this dress also allows it to hang loosely as tight and clingy just doesn’t work on a hot day. The delicate detailing on this dress mean that it fits into the categories of day dresses and summer party dresses. Try teaming with a wide brimmed straw hat for barbeques or garden parties or an occasion hat for a wedding or day at the races.
Light weight blouse – a truly versatile piece, short sleeved light weight blouse looks fresh and cool and reflects the heat on the hottest of days. It can be worn with tailored shorts or a skirt for work or even jeans or a casual pair of trousers.
Loose fitting skirt -sometimes when it gets really hot, it is too hot to even wear trousers. A loose fitting skirt is the coolest option. This style of skirt is really on trend so try combining with a pair of gladiators for a really fashionable look or some wedges if you want to add a bit of height. Balance the volume of the skirt with a close fitting camisole or vest top.
Colourful poncho -if you are out in the garden on a hot day, you can’t beat a poncho for loose fitting and airy style. Add some of the brightest colours around this summer and you have an instantly chic and eye catching outfit that would work for all sorts of occasions from beach to party.
Cool cropped trousers – when the thermostat goes up, ditch your long trousers in favour of some cropped trousers. If you want something easy to wear and practical, the these are just what you need. Choose from a range of gorgeous summer colours and team with a t shirt in a contrasting colour and flip flops for the perfect summer outfit.
As spring gradually leads into summer the weather is still somewhat undecided. Often the sun is shining and it is lovely and warm in the morning and then by the time the afternoon comes the sun has disappeared and the weather becomes grey and cloudy, leaving everyone feeling a little bit chilly to say the least. As a direct result of this many women are left ever so slightly confused in the morning when it comes to making a decision about what to wear that day. No one wants to dress too summery and then be left feeling cold later in the day whenever the sun disappears. Similarly they donâ??t want to opt for anything too heavy and be left feeling much too hot later on. It seems trying to find a happy medium is quite difficult.
However there are several options available to women which should help them avoid encountering either of the aforementioned situations. The first thing that women should consider is layering, this will allow small items of clothing to be added or removed when necessary in order to reach the right temperature. Although it is advisable that care is taken to ensure that each the items worn is somewhat lightweight, this will not ensure that the wearer does not become too hot be also means the removed items can be easily stashed away. If, for example, a woman is out and about she will ultimately have to carry any excess garments so the lighter they are the better.
A further option is teaming a nice summer dress with a cardigan or light weight jacket. The summer dress will be the perfect option for whenever the sun is shining whilst the cardigan or jacket will prevent the wearer from feeling the chill when the sun disappears. Similar to the previous option this option gives the wearer the opportunity to add or remove the cardigan as is necessary. A cardigan is often preferable to a jacket as it can be stowed in a handbag quite easily.
Crops and capri style trousers should also be considered in the event of interchangeable weather, as if worn in the right way they do not need to look too summery, making them perfect for when the sun goes away. Crops and capri trousers are also a great option as they can easily be worn to the office without looking too out of place. What is more crops and capri trousers can also be worn in a much more casual and social setting. In addition these styles of trousers are often very comfortable making them not only a stylish option but also a practical one too.
All of the aforementioned options provide women with a degree of flexibility when dressing for interchangeable weather. Although each of the options represent practicality they can also be very stylish options if the right garments are selected.
The most practical pieces of clothing in the summer, when the weather is really hot are shorts, light weight trousers and cropped trousers. They are perfect for holidays, days at the beach, long walks and just about any other summer activity. Many of us have trouble choosing the right pair of trousers or shorts to wear for the summer, but there is definitely an option for everyone, even those who don’t like showing their legs off too much.
Light weight summer trousers
For some of us shorts or cropped trousers are just not an option for a variety of reasons. Light weight summer trousers are a cool summer option. An elasticated or draw string waist make them ultra comfortable and the waist band can be covered with a top or t shirt. Light weight trousers are the best option for wearing with a longer tunic style of top for an elegant outfit. These ivory white summer trousers are ideal for wearing with a range of coloured tops including navy, red and purple and multi colour prints. Â
Cropped Trousers
Cropped trousers are also cool and easy to wear for a great summer casual look. They can be worn with all sorts of t shirts and tops and a pair of tennis shoes for a on trend outfit. If you are petite or short be careful that your cropped trousers are not too wide or loose fitting as they can make you look shorter.
Capri Trousers
Capri trousers are a more fitted version of cropped trousers and look a bit smarter. They can even be worn with heels for a summer party or barbecue. Capri trousers have a glamorous fifties feel about them and also look great with a fitted top.
Bermuda ShortsÂ
Bermuda shorts finish just above the knee and fall into two distinct categories, casual shorts and smart or tailored shorts. The tailored shorts can even be worn with a smart tailored jacket for work wear and are very fashionable at the moment. For those with a very slim or boyish figure, you can create some volume around the hips by wearing culottes or pleated shorts. For a great every day look, a brightly coloured pair of Bermuda’s are probably the most wearable of all the shorts for summer. These purple cotton shortscan be combined with lots of different colours tops for a bright summer outfit. A flat or casual pair of shoes will usually look best with casual Bermuda shorts and medium height heels or sandals with smarter or tailored shorts.
Short shorts
Generally really short shorts are best kept for the beach or garden on the hottest of days. They are usually worn by those with long and shapely legs  or those under the age of twenty. If you do choose to go down this route a pair of wedge heels is also a great way to elongate your legs and some fake tan will stop your legs from looking too pale.
Generally speaking, shorts look best with shorter and more fitted style tops. A very long or baggy top will swamp you and cover the shorts making it look like you are not wearing them. When the weather gets hot don’t be scared about getting your legs out. Shorts and cropped trousers can look great on everyone as long as they pick the right style and wear them in the right way.
Packing to go away on holiday is always bit of a stressful situation for many women as they are often uncertain as to what take with them. A lot of women struggle to decide on what type of attire is suited to their trip and consequently compensate by packing much more than is necessary for their holiday. They often believe that by giving themselves more choice when they arrive at their destination that they are making the situation much easier for themselves. However, with airlines becoming increasingly stricter about the weight of luggage allowed on board on the plane it is more important than ever to pack sensibly and include only the essentials if excess airport charges are to be avoided.
As we inch ever closer to the summer, it seems many people have got the holiday bug and are planning their holidays. It therefore seems appropriate at this stage to provide a few hints and tips to keep in mind whenever shopping or simply packing for your holiday.
For those headed for sunnier climes then it is advisable that a pair of cropped trousers are taken along. Cropped trousers represent a very diverse style of trouser which make the perfect piece of holiday clothing. The great thing about cropped trousers is that if the right pair is bought they can be worn in a range of situations, thus meaning fewer clothing items need to be packed. Cropped trousers are the perfect choice of clothing when it comes to deciding what clothes to wear on the flight. Not only are cropped trousers extremely comfortable so you will feel relaxed throughout the flight but they also make the perfect day to night item. It is possible to simply wear cropped trousers with a t-shirt or top during the day and then wear them out to dinner in the evening when they are teamed with a more formal evening top.
In addition to cropped trousers it also a good idea to pack a number of sleeveless tops. However, it is important to ensure that the tops that are packed are relatively plain and simple. This is important as it means that each of the tops can be worn with practically anything and they provide you with a bit of choice when you get there. Whatâ??s more by opting for sleeveless tops you will be able to stay cooler during the day than if you opted for a top with sleeves.
However, despite the fact that you are going to a warmer climate it is important to remember that at night time it is often quite chilly. Therefore with that in mind it is important to bring some sort of cover up along. Whilst sleeveless tops are perfect for during the day when the sun is out, they are not ideal for the evening. Although in the interests of keeping packing to a minimum rather than taking a range of long sleeved tops to wear during the evenings simply pack a couple of cover ups. Shrugs and boleros are perfect for taking on holiday as they can easily be worn over a sleeveless top whatâ??s more they are still quite lightweight meaning that you will not be left feeling too warm when you wear one. Again, it is a good idea to opt for a cover up which is relatively plain and neutral as it can then be worn with a limitless number of outfits.
These items are must have holiday items which can be worn in a number of combinations and which can be worn in a range of situations, both casual and more formal.
