What clothes should you choose and how should you dress at 40? We don’t dress the same way at 20 as we do at 40, because our tastes evolve, as do our lifestyles and sometimes even our personal style. Being a fulfilled, grown woman also means building your own look and identity every day. The goal is not to overdo it or make yourself look older. You want to find the perfect balance to reveal the full potential of your style at 40. How do you create a wardrobe that reflects a woman in her forties? We’re here to share all our tips and tricks for a look that feels like you and in which you feel great.


Chic and relaxed, without overdoing it

To adapt your style to your age, just follow a few basic principles—here are our secrets. A woman in her forties is confident, but not overly made up, so she doesn’t look older than she is. For an elegant yet relaxed look, choose just one standout, sexy piece in your outfit, like fitted pants or a low-cut top, for example.

Colors reflect your mood and your personality. They energize an outfit and add a touch of vibrancy to your looks. Blue, purple, but also red and orange can all make a statement in your wardrobe.

What’s in a 40-year-old woman’s wardrobe?

To be feminine, relaxed, and stylish at 40, go for timeless pieces and classics, and pair them with unique, original items. Also, focus on quality—this makes all the difference and instantly brings elegance to your outfit.

Jeans: a must-have for your forties

A simple, well-cut, high-quality pair of jeans will flatter your figure and help you achieve that chic yet relaxed look. High-waisted jeans are a great option, but your jeans should suit your body shape. Dark jeans pair well with a light top, while light jeans work best with a darker top.

A skirt for every occasion

To stay feminine in any situation, a skirt is your best ally. You’ll find skirts in every shape to suit all body types, enhancing your curves and showing off your legs. For length, go for a mid-thigh skirt—it flatters many different figures.

Bet on the blouse

Think about blouses—an absolute must in your wardrobe. Whether patterned, in classic shades, or with bold colors, anything goes. They add structure and confidence to your outfit. Blouses are less formal than classic shirts, but still elegant for everyday wear or a night out with friends.

Styles for every woman

The best thing about fashion is that every woman has her own style. She can accessorize however she likes, and her daily look often reveals her personality. Of course, there are some common codes and rules, which is how we recognize different styles, but nothing is impossible—you can create your own way of dressing. From glam-chic to boyish, minimalist to classy, discover a world of possibilities to enhance your wardrobe, even at 40. Every woman is free to be herself in a world full of expectations!
