Fashion for Women Over 60

I was placing my chai latte order at Starbucks last week, wearing a button-up, colorful scarf, my good jeans, a pair of kitten heels, and my signature hoop earrings when a woman in leggings and a cropped t-shirt gave me the kind of look you’d give someone who showed up to a barbecue in a ball gown…

Do you like to travel in the fall? I find that autumn is one of the most enjoyable seasons for travel. The intense summer heat has often passed, and popular destinations can feel less crowded. The only real trouble is packing. Autumn weather rarely behaves itself. A cool morning may become a sunny afternoon, followed by a chilly evening or an…

Burgundy will always have a place in an autumn wardrobe. It is rich and considerably easier to wear than, let’s say, pumpkin orange. Autumn 2026 is offering us unexpected color palettes that are far more interesting than the usual collection of wine, rust, camel, and forest green…

Family gatherings can be oddly tricky to dress for. You may be sharing a table with teenagers in sneakers, cousins in cocktail dresses, and with some older relatives who still consider jeans “too casual”. At a multi-generational family gathering, the goal is neither to compete with anyone nor to fade quietly into the background. You want to look polished, comfortable…

Layering sounds simple enough, right? Add a sweater, put on a jacket, wrap yourself in a scarf, and head out the door. In reality, one extra layer can sometimes turn a perfectly good outfit into something bulky and shapeless. The secret is not wearing more clothing. It is choosing layers that work together in length, shape, fabric, and proportion…

Evening tops are essential in every woman’s closet and offer a chance to showcase your style and grace during the enchanting twilight hours. Perfect for cocktails, city lights, or a romantic dinner, the right evening top can transform your look…

Typical comments include things like, and, I’m paraphrasing here, “I applaud these women for their boldness, but, frankly, I don’t have a 28 inch waist. How about showing us some plus size women?” Frankly, I don’t disagree with these comments. The problem is not that I am avoiding featuring older plus size models. The problem is that I can’t find any!

How many jackets do you own? Now, how many do you actually wear regularly? And how many of them work with more than one kind of outfit? Have you ever heard about a capsule wardrobe? It’s a wardrobe that is not about owning fewer clothes for the sake of it, but about choosing pieces that […]

An inherited fur coat is rarely just another item of clothing. It may bring back the image of your mother dressing for a special evening, your grandmother arriving for a holiday dinner, or an aunt whose style filled every room. Even the lining can unlock forgotten memories…

I first discovered the beauty of wearing a kimono on a beach holiday in the sun. I love elegant clothes and fabric that moves with my body and makes me feel free and comfortable. Since that holiday, I realised that Kimonos are not only fantastic for holidays but for many other occasions too. I wear them to go shopping, meet friends, evenings out and so much more…
