subject: Dress To Impress [print this page] Dress to Impress Step out with confidence As a mature woman you can become a great example to the younger generation if you dress with confidence and care. We can leave the wild experimenting in the dress department to the young. They need to find their own way but if you step out with an outfit that has been carefully assembled, you stand out, especially in today's world where few people seem to make the effort any more. Mature Ladies' Clothing need not look drab and out of the last century. All that is required is an eye for colour co-ordination and adapting the outfit to your body shape. A well dressed person, man or woman, will be noticed. It is therefore essential that clothes are chosen with care. Look for good materials and styles and never assemble too many colours in one outfit. Three colours are best. If you have a patterned skirt, take one colour out of the pattern and choose a jacket to match that one colour where possible, then choose another colour in the skirt and choose a blouse or T-shirt in that colour. Team these up with matching shoes and handbag and you have a stylish outfit. It does really not need more than that. Look through your wardrobe and match clothes, hang the outfits together and dressing becomes a lot easier. This is not to say that you cannot vary and perhaps choose other colours but caution, do not mix too many colours and certainly do not wear a skirt with one pattern and a top with another pattern. A wardrobe full of clothes can be great but they need to complement each other. Therefore from now on you could take one item of clothing and if you want to create a stylish outfit, take it with you when you are shopping, team it up with other garments in matching colours. This way you can combine old and new and need not get a whole new wardrobe especially in these days of recycling and saving. Take a black or navy suit as the base of your wardrobe, add a colourful patterned blouse, or a blouse in a single colour like cream, red, coral or any other colour that particularly suits you or is your favourite and you create your personalised dress code. Do this with other clothes and you will always have the right outfit to hand. Black and navy suits are really the staple of any wardrobe and are timeless. But also red, green depending on what suits your particular colour chart. It does not matter which seasonal colour chart suits you, the bright coloured blouse or tee shirt, or pullover in that chart next to your face is what matters most. This is the defining colour that will lift your complexion. For Mature Ladies Clothing, take the above blouses, tee shirts and pullovers, aim for the brighter colours in your chart as this will also make you look younger, if that is what you are looking to achieve, most of us do.
