Dress Your Age: Autumn Apogees


You may be asking: spring ingenues, autumn apogees...why was summer overlooked? Obviously you have never spent a summer in Arizona. If you had, you'd realize why we're glossing over the torrid trauma.

Now, my fair ladies advancing on the sloping rise of life, how can you ensure age appropriate glamor?

I recommend making decisions based on this simple modus operandi:
+ 10 years = -1 trend = <>In other words, remove one trendy item from your ensemble every ten years. For further emphasis, I have charted it out for you below.


In essence this chart says, tees screenprinted with sassy witticisms are cute on tweens, not on their mothers.

Trendy items are anything that draws significant attention. It can be a statement accessory, a funky hairstyle, a garment in a non-standard cut or color, or if you choose a cheeky expression.

And when you do experiment with trends, choose a softer interpretation. For example, instead of a leather skinny pant, opt for a cotton that tapers slightly.

Your signature style should also be coming into its own now. Switching between modern, romantic, bohemian, and diva on a daily basis will make you look ungrounded. Start narrowing your range of options to what speaks with the greatest force to your soul.

Below I've collected age appropriate ensembles for a mature set, compliments of Anthropologie, which is in fact targeted to meet the needs of women 35 and over.
