Here's looking at you
Buy high-quality clothes that fit right. It's better to have a few excellent pieces than lots of the wrong kind.
Pick pieces that skim the body. Tight is out and big tops or baggy pants make wearers look larger. A tailored cut tends to look better on mature bodies.
Aim to achieve a classic, ageless style. That means owning pieces that you will wear 10 years from now. It's better to look good than to look young.
Mix and match. To add flair, top off your classic suit with accessories that pop — a touch of bright color, a chunky necklace, an oversized watch.
If you're not sure what "classic" means, check out the J.Crew and Ralph Lauren lines.
Keep physically fit. If you look younger, you can get away with wearing a bit more flash or a little less coverage.
Think outside the box. You may be 60, but you don't have to dress the way your mother did at that age.
Try neutral tones for your basic pieces, like suits. You will get more use of it. Then add a splash of color with a shirt.
- Remember: you're not 25 anymore. Ditch the leather miniskirt. If you want to wear something short, leggings are your best friend.
