What should you wear when you're 40?

Chic and casual, without overdoing it

To adapt your style to your age, all you need to do is follow a few basic principles, and we'll let you in on the secrets. Women in their forties are confident, but not overdressed either, so as not to look older than they are. To look elegant but relaxed, opt for a single sexy piece in your outfit, like a pair of close-fitting trousers or a low-cut top, for example.

Colours reflect both your mood and your personality. They liven up an outfit and add a little pizzazz to your looks. Blue, purple, but also red and orange can make a real impact in your wardrobe.

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

To be feminine, casual and stylish at 40, opt for timeless pieces and classics, combined with unique and particularly original pieces. You can also count on the quality of the garment, which will make all the difference and add a great deal of elegance to your outfit.

Jeans, essential for a woman in her forties

Sober, well-cutjeans of good quality will make you look your best and add to your chic yet casual look. Why not high-waisted? Your jeans should be adapted to your body shape. Dark jeans go well with a light top, while light jeans go well with a darker top.

A skirt for every occasion

If you want to look feminine in every situation, a skirt is your best ally. Skirts come in all shapes and sizes to enhance your curves and make the most of your legs. For length, opt for a mid-thigh skirt, which adapts to a wide range of body shapes.

Go for blouses

Blouses are a must-have in your wardrobe. Patterned, in sober or more original colours, anything goes. They'll add structure and confidence to your outfit. Blouses are less formal than classic shirts, but still elegant for everyday wear or an evening out with friends.

The best thing about fashion is that every woman has her own style. Embellished the way she wants, she often sports a look that reveals her personality on a daily basis. Of course, codes and rules remain similar, and that's how we distinguish between different styles of dress, but nothing is impossible and you can create your own way of dressing.
