Every age has its own charm and its own beauty. In youth, you want to attract the attention of others with a short skirt and a brightly colored top. At 30-40 years old, clothes already combine comfort and restrained style. Elegance itself is represented by a chiffon dress for a woman of 50 years old, which is often preferred by mature women. In any case, beauty and femininity have no age restrictions.
Peculiarities
For mature ladies, chiffon is the material that can add lightness and elegance to an image. However, when choosing a model option, some age restrictions are taken into account:
- The color and style of the dress should reflect a sense of taste, not be too provocative or flashy. An abundance of lace, bows, and sequins can ruin even the most successful cut;
- The appropriate length. 50 years is still an option to completely cover the legs, but it is not advisable to expose the legs above the knees to public view. When choosing the length of clothing, take into account the condition of the legs: a strongly protruding vascular network on the legs will only emphasize the extra years;
- It is advisable to hide the décolleté and shoulder area. The skin on these parts of the body is no longer elastic, pigment spots and wrinkles appear on it. Light chiffon sleeves and inserts on the chest will help hide small defects from prying eyes.
In summer versions of chiffon dresses for women over 50, sleeves may be completely absent.
- It would be better to choose several translucent chiffon scarves for dresses. They will add elegance to the image and help hide the neck area;
- The material should not be too transparent, it will look inappropriate, even vulgar. When using transparent material, there must be a lining.
Taking into account the above recommendations, a lady will look beautiful and stylish even in old age.
What to look for when choosing
To look attractive at this age, you should pay attention to the features of your figure when choosing a style.
Types of figures:
- Hourglass - owners of this body type are the luckiest of all. With this silhouette, you can wear most models: tapered, flared, straight. But the best summer clothes for women aged 50 are chiffon dresses (as in photo 1). A belt or chiffon belt will help to emphasize a thin waist. Models slightly above and slightly below the knee are suitable for women with slender legs. A win-win option for this body type in combination with wide hips is a floor-length model. It is best with a belt at the waist and a flared hem. You need to pay attention to the sleeves. Thin straps are extremely undesirable. They only draw attention to the aging skin of the neck and shoulders. If the weather is too hot, it is better to choose a sleeveless option.
- Pear - this body type is characterized by a small top and wide hips. They exceed the shoulders in width. In this case, you can stop your gaze on the trapezoid cut. The trapezoid cut can be ornamented or plain, but the main thing is that the pattern is at the bottom of the product. Puffy sleeves will complement the image.
- Apple - the lady has a lush chest, wide waist and thin hips. A wrap or A-silhouette silhouette would be a great option here. Jackets with a translucent top would go well with this outfit. With this type of figure, lush ruffles, belts and straps are excluded (they will emphasize the width of the waist), white color (visually widens the figure).
It is better to choose a thin fabric with a lining, a denser chiffon will correct the appetizing forms. Models of the A silhouette look ideal in noble shades of green, dark blue, black and beige.
Outfits for the celebration
An outfit for a special event should look original and beautiful, regardless of age. Evening women's chiffon dresses designed for 50-year-olds will help you look festive and elegant at the same time.
What you should definitely say “no” to when choosing an evening option:
- Too pale and barely noticeable a pattern – it will turn the clothes into a nightgown.
- An abundance of jewelry, rhinestones, bulky accessories;
- Deep necklines, high longitudinal cutouts;
- Shapeless “robes”;
- In colorful colors;
- Overly tight clothing.
Models for celebrations should differ from the rest of the wardrobe. It is a mistake for women to think that after crossing the 50-year mark, they can wear everyday models for all occasions. Classic colors are also better suited for a festive option, but they add age to their wearer.
There are several recommendations from stylists on how to look smart, according to your age:
- The best shades for the celebration will be white, ash pink, dark beige, mint, smoky blue, gray;
- For those with a slim figure, a sheath is ideal;
- When choosing classic colors (black, white, gray, beige), they are complemented with jewelry and bright accessories (handbag and shoes);
- A light jacket and an evening hairstyle will help add a festive touch to any look.
For owners of appetizing forms, designers advise choosing any style with a high waist, with a slump. Thin translucent fabric will not only hide extra pounds, but also create airiness, lightness of the image.
Trendy colors
A mature woman has to pay special attention to the choice of color of clothes, because it can be refreshing, or it can accentuate age-related changes. Each color type suits its own shades. However, black will unattractively shade the face of each, adding extra years. As an exception, it is worn in combination with light pastel tones.
Color schemes recommended by stylists for those over 50:
- Light shades of pink, yellow, mint, peach, white. Such tones are especially relevant in summer and spring;
- Coffee with milk. The tone will harmonize with any accessories, will be a good replacement for white;
- Dark shades. They will replace the black tone without emphasizing the unevenness and paleness of the face: dark gray, chocolate, bottle, smoky blue and brown;
- Natural tones. From sand tones to chocolate tones.
Marsala (red wine) is especially relevant for mature women. This tone will give a unique charm, will help to look noble and luxurious. Another trend of the season is stripes. However, it is diluted with plain pastel-colored items. A light white jacket would be an ideal option.
When choosing patterns, fashion designers advise avoiding large floral prints, animal prints (leopard, zebra), and too bright abstractions. What you need to pay attention to:
- Cell;
- Geometric pattern;
- Small flowers;
- Peas (also not very large).
In any case, in this age group, they focus not so much on fashion, but on the fact that the tone matches the appearance of the owner.
Length
Chiffon is good for items of any length. The choice of the number of centimeters of an outfit for those over 50 depends on many factors.
What occasion is it intended for?
At any age (including adulthood), the determination of length depends on the occasion for which the outfit is intended:
- Evening dress - intended for special occasions, especially significant events. In this case, maxi will help you look appropriate for the occasion and feel irresistible. However, at this age, you need to pay attention to some details when choosing a floor-length style: it should not be too tight and have a train;
- Cocktail dresses – should be just above the knee. This season, cocktail dresses up to mid-calf are very fashionable. This is acceptable only for slim ladies, if the skin of the legs is well preserved and looks toned;
- Office style - the best option is knee-length or midi. You also need to consider its color scheme suitable for the image. Abundant patterns, designs, oriental print - will make the most elegant lady look like a gypsy. It is better to stop at a single-color fabric of noble shades;
- For every day – the selection of the appropriate length, in this case, already depends on personal preferences and body type. Of course, within reason. Too short models in adulthood look inappropriate and even ridiculous.
Features of the figure
Depending on your height and build, you need to choose clothes of different lengths. For short people, it is better to choose outfits up to the middle of the knee, midi. Floor length visually shortens an already short height. For tall people, maxi, just below the knee, midi are good. Long outfits are especially good: they will stretch the figure and visually lengthen the legs, adding elegance to the image.
For curvy women, a style a few centimeters above or below the knee is ideal. If you have a voluminous figure combined with a short stature, you should avoid maxi (they shorten the silhouette, making the figure fuller). A good option for short stature will be chiffon tunics, leggings are always worn under them. Slender and fit people can choose any option, remembering some age restrictions (excluding mini).
What to wear with
For women over 50, plain chiffon dresses will perfectly complement a variety of accessories:
- Hats and scarves – you need to stop your gaze on plain hats with wide and medium brims. The best material for summer hats is linen. Felt will look good. White, ivory, mint, peach – shade the skin of the face, refresh the appearance. A straw hat is suitable for the beach option. A small or medium-sized hat is preferable. A scarf is chosen from a similar material. The accessory should be thinner, more transparent than the fabric of the product. A bright print on accessories will absorb the dark shades of the rest of the clothes, emphasize the shine of the eyes;
- A bag - a handbag - is a great accessory with which you can add cheerful colors to your wardrobe. However, you need to be careful with the richness of the color. It should not be neon-acid, it is better to leave it for young people. When choosing classic light, chocolate shades, buy a good quality bag (made of genuine or good artificial leather). The accessory should be of discreet sizes, neutral shades (white, beige). For special occasions, as well as evening walks, you can choose a clutch bag. A bright pattern will add festivity to the image;
- Shoes - in elegant age, the first thing that people pay attention to when choosing shoes is comfort. Therefore, shoes should be of high quality, made of good material. In summer models, you should prefer mesh, light and breathable.
You should definitely avoid the following types of footwear:
- on a thin high heel;
- on a rough tractor sole;
- with transparent platform, heel;
- shoes with excessive decoration;
- black shoes (will add a sense of mourning).
Shoes should go well with clothes and accessories. If the shoes are bright and the accent of the whole look is on them - a handbag, jewelry should be in a minimalist style.
Every woman wants to feel beautiful and attractive at any age. Chiffon dresses will be the best option to emphasize your femininity.
