The latest catwalk trends can sometimes be a little too much for ladies of a certain age.
Anyone over 25 would probably forgiven for not investing in any of this season’s high street trends, such as hotpants, short-suits and neon beachwear.
But the high-fashion shows for autumn/winter 2011-12 have unveiled a great look that’s absolutely perfect for over 50s women’s clothing: matching tunics with trousers.
Tunics are eye-catching, stylish and best of all, give your body a great shape through loose, flowing material. Rather than hugging your figure – and perhaps showing off the bits you’d rather not show off – tunics provide a great figure with little effort.
Whilst many high-fashion styles have featured off-the-shoulder looks with choker fasteners around the neck, t-shirt style tunics will work just as well.
Match with a pair of loose, floaty trousers and don’t worry about how the clothing hangs – it is supposed to.
Chic black tunics and trousers could be a great formal outfit or occasional dress, or spice it up with something bold, colourful and patterned to really put a statement to your style.

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.

Hats are a great way for women to stand out and draw attention in a stylish and sophisticated way. Choosing the right style hat for the occasion, outfit, and your body shape is key to pulling off this look – not to mention the all important decision of colour.
Ensure you don’t overshadow your face by sticking to light colours – deep dark colours aren’t usually appropriate for headwear, and make sure the hat isn’t so large that it drowns you. Having said that, an oversize floppy summer hat can make a glamorous addition to your holiday outfit, particularly when teamed with oversize shades.
Whether it’s for a day at the races, a wedding, or a summer day where you want to shade your eyes from the sun, a hat will add the glam factor to your look and make you stand out from the crowd.

For many years, green has been one of the least-favourite colours of the fashion world.
It has traditionally been the hardest colour to sell – but now bright green is lighting up the catwalks.
Don’t be scared of bright colours this summer – the prime minister’s wife has already led the way with a bright green dress at the Scottish fashion awards last week.
Green is all about daring to be different, and works particularly well against tanned skin tones – so it could be the perfect colour to perk up your post-holiday blues.
Dark green can look sapping, so make sure you mix it with a bit of sparkle to stop it seeming dreary, or mix your greens together – choose wisely, mind – to achieve a layered, textured look that’s bound to turn heads.
If you don’t fancy adopting green full-time, it’s still worth considering green for your occasional dresses, to make sure you’re setting the trends at any wedding or party this season.
