In a woman's life, 30s are characterized by major changes in personal as well as professional front. On the professional front, she is shouldering new and important responsibilities, while at home she has her bundle of joy to care for or at least a family of her own. While doing this balancing act, she rarely has time to ponder about her appearance. However, the stylish woman of today is far too sensible to consider her physical appearance as a trivial thing. She knows perfectly how looking good and fashionable has its own rewards in this world. Needless to say, she is aware of the latest fashion trends for women in their 30s. So, in case you have been paying little or no attention to how you dress, it's high time to learn some basics of how to dress for your age.
Fashion Tips to Follow
Fashion for women over 30 is a reflection of their role as a mother and a career woman. Their fashion trend is not influenced by very glamorous clothing apt for 20s, nor is it too mature. Fashion for 30s is all about dressing stylishly, yet not provocatively. It is important not to cross that thin line between glamor and sleaze. While young women in their 20s can get away with cheap fashion, women in their 30s cannot afford to wear tacky clothes at any cost. No matter if you are a stay at home mom or a CEO, you have to be elegant and extremely well dressed under all circumstances.
Formal Wardrobe
Women's clothing for this age group should be comfortable to wear, hassle free and extremely easy to clean. Since, you will most likely have small children to care for, you cannot afford to take too long to dress up. Although, the choice of clothes will be influenced by your career, it is important that you have strict bifurcation, regarding what to wear at work and what to wear for outings. If you do not have a dress code at office, wear formal pants or A-line skirts that end below knees. You can add a hint of glamor by opting for longer slits than wearing shorter hemlines. Wear blouses in pastel colors like peach, baby blue or even bright colors like green, turquoise, magenta etc. Avoid wearing extremely bold patterns on the blouse, or low cut dresses at work.
Casual Wardrobe
For casual affairs, you can wear long skirts in flowing fabric teamed with a simple blouse or cotton kapris with a bright T-shirt. Floral prints are a great option, if you wish to wear something fresh and youthful. Summer dresses with decent necklines are apt for afternoon dos. Tube dresses also look great on petite women. You can even wear shorts or mini skirts, if you have great legs or if you can pull off the look. While ripped or distressed jeans is generally not recommended for people in their thirties, you can certainly invest in a pair of trendy jeans.
Cocktail Wardrobe
For evening parties, choose cocktail dresses that will accentuate your figure. If you have a great figure to flaunt, you may go for strapless dresses with plunging necklines. You can choose bold colors like bright purple, hot pink, orange apart from the classic black. You may also consider making a fashion statement in animal prints. In the end, use your common sense and wear clothes that are appropriate for the occasion and your body type.
Accessories
30s is a time to bid adieu to large, chunky fashion jewelry and opt for its elegant counterpart. Also avoid carrying very large, glitzy handbags. Always invest in quality fashion accessories and not cheap stuff bought off the roadside vendor. If you have put on a bit of weight, then make sure you choose a comfortable pair of shoes. You can even trade your favorite stilettos for flat, cushioned footwear. If you opt for high heels, make sure the heel is not chunky or too glitzy. A classic pair of stilettos can instantly pep up your appearance.
Makeup
Regarding makeup, avoid doing too much of it no matter what occasion. Also, avoid bold colors for eye shadows and eye liners unless you are headed for a nightclub or theme party. On the other hand, also avoid a completely plain look, devoid of any makeup. Make sure you exude grace and femininity through your makeup. Hairstyle should be chosen as per your profession and length of hair. Avoid coloring your hair in shocking shades. Highlights are fine, as long as they are within a close range of your natural hair color or base color.
Remember, fashion is more about your attitude than attire. If you are confident about your body, then you can pull off a glamorous outfit even in your fifties and sixties. Hence be confident, wear a smile, and dress in clothes that make you happy and comfortable.
