Fashion after the 40's: know what's allowed and what's flawed

Today it 's hard to know the exact age of a woman. Youth worship, appreciation of physical activity, and available medical and aesthetic procedures may actually delay the effects of aging or at least hide them.

A younger appearance is usually accompanied by more daring, tight and revealing clothing. And now? Are there restrictions on choosing the look over the years? A fit body allows for boldness like a belly from the outside? To answer these questions, Terra asked the image consultants Jaqueline Araujo, partner of the Look at Image Strategy, and Silvia Bernardo to give tips on choosing clothes and what does not catch well. Check out and see if Brazilian and international personalities follow the rules.

Jaqueline affirms that there is not only one factor that defines the choice of a look. But between body and age, the latter prevails.

When we talk about self-knowledge, knowing how your body works are key to having a more impressive and consistent image with who you are. "It's directly related to age, too," says Silvia.

A person's style does not have to change only because the years are passing, but one needs to adapt it to the new reality. The fact that a woman having a super body even though she is older does not mean that it is cool to wear what she wore when she was younger.

If a woman with perfect shapes, with a balanced waist with shoulders and hips, and at 25, dressed in a miniskirt for an event, will draw attention to beauty. Already one with the same forms, but with 50, will be interpreted in an entirely different way. "As much as she has everything 'up,' she will not hear the appropriate comments for her age," Silvia explains.

The neckline is not necessarily connected to the age question, it is more connected to the physical type and the place where the woman is, but the length yes, it should lower with the passing of the years.

Necklines also change function. Before they served to show, but at this point in life the ideal is to use it as an ally. "He needs to value bust and lap, but not always what makes this part of the body more attractive is the most low-cut, the most open," explained Bernardo.

A more mature woman should think more about lengths close to the knees, or about three fingers above, and shorts and less on miniskirts and shorts.

Over the years, age increases and periods too! The sensual woman is not the one who makes everything explicit. It creates a mystery. "The mature woman for me is that.It has a super baggage and life experience.Nothing better than making the best use of this magic.She said, Coco Chanel, that to know the ideal length of skirts and dresses the woman should kneel on the Floor where the knee touches the floor is the perfect length for the person, "explains consultant Silvia Bernardo.

Among the most common mistakes, you find that you can wear anything as the body remains slim and beautiful. "It's wonderful when a more mature woman knows how to take advantage of her attributes." "It's not about prejudices," said Jaqueline. "There are only clothes and looks that favor every age."

According to Silvia, the mature woman often sins by exaggeration in every way. "And the extreme is not always the best, or it cancels itself, it abandons its self-esteem, it fails to look at itself with affection and then it devalues the beauty it has, or, it goes to the overdressed exaggeration, when it uses everything together at the same time, Including dated pieces, which were marked by a particular era, exaggerated perfumes, pieces too tight to the body, micro shorts jeans, or loose parts, "he says. Not to mention the fall-down models, disproportionate sweater loops, and the famous necklines and lengths.

It is necessary to 'filter' fashion information. "A lot of brands make parts for the parade and versions for real life. In general, people need to understand that they can not be slaves of fashion, they should use only what favors them.This is the secret of an individual who knows himself and Knows your style, "teaches Jaqueline.

Using more detailed or more essential pieces varies according to the style of each person. This need not change with age. It is not the fashion that should dictate what will be used. If we were to use what fashion calls for, we would modify the wardrobe every season.

The consultant Silvia suggests using the style proposals in detail, choosing specific points to value. "I believe that for a woman to be elegant at this stage of life, it will be the details that will make a difference," she says, exemplifying that animal prints have become classics, but very few women will get along with a whole dress of this pattern. "Invest in accessories such as shoes, sandals, sneakers, belts and purses if the ultimate goal is an elegant and admired image," he teaches.

Elegance knows that every age has its beauty and its advantages. And that to mature is to be able to try new things

A woman healed, with the whole body sculpted, has no more freedom to show the body. "Everything has its time and place," says Jaqueline. In the case of the thighs that like to show the body, Silvia thinks that first, one must be very sure of a more daring look. "It's enough for her to know how it will be received by the people, I would tell this woman to be aware of her wishes, and that's it!

There are no old looks but adequate or inadequate according to the style of each woman, besides the situation and the physical type.
