Life after you hit your forties can turn into a pleasant surprise, where you emerge as a more confident and self reliant person. This is also the right time to showcase your personality through your wardrobe, and find your distinct voice in everything you do and wear. Here are some great tips to confidently wear what you want, and flaunt it after you reach your forties:

Play favorites

You are at the age where you definitely know your likes and dislikes. You can make a statement by opting to incorporate your favorites in your daily outfits. They will remind you of who you are as a person, and will also bring joy and delight by uplifting a drab outfit into a personal homage to yourself and your journey.

Create a basic stock of essentials :

By now, you have experimented with your look enough to know what items of clothing count as a basic in your wardrobe. Collect some great quality basics for your wardrobe. These are the pieces which you need to build upon for an outfit, and you can downplay or add more layers to it, depending on your mood and the occasion. Some basic dresses, jeans, white plain tees and comfortable undergarments and shoes are just some of the basics everyone needs in their wardrobe to quickly put together a look.

Buy statement pieces to stand out:

When you’ve covered your basics, its time to get some statement pieces which scream personality. They are the signature accessories which make your outfit, yours. They could be bags, boots, jackets or rings and bracelets, which complement your basics and your personal style effortlessly.

Add complementary pieces to your wardrobe

Entering your forties does not necessarily have to entail that you get rid of all the clothing items you have collected over the years. Some of these items have sentimental value, while others are the most useful, highly functional pieces of clothing necessary for any adult wardrobe. Add in some outer clothing, shoes and supporting garments that can further elevate your wardrobe, and help you create multiple looks with the existing pieces you have collected over the years.

Play it up with cool new glasses:

Your eyewear is another feature of your forties that you can play up to spruce up any look. Do not always go for those huge glasses, as they can cover up your attractive features. Choose a frame according to your facial features and shape to make your eyewear a perfect addition to your entire new look.
