16 Tips for Dressing Elegantly for Those Over 30

Many people say that when turning 30, women should dress more seriously, discarding all flashy clothes and accessories. This is an idea that was left behind, since being 30 today does not mean the same as it did decades ago, and nothing prevents women from wearing flowery prints or even sportswear.

O awesome.club did a brief research on the new trends and created a list of some pieces of clothing that should appear in the closet of a woman over 30. Check it out right now and let us know if you think it matches the style that the stylists propose.

To buy a fur coat you don’t have to be rich; clothes made with faux fur have been used for a few seasons. Designers no longer want to use natural fur in their new collections to preserve the lives of animals.

How to use it?

Length: up to mid-hip. A coat that is too long makes the look look too dramatic and should be avoided. Wear the coat with jeans, sneakers or boots during the day. During the night, opt for the dress and boots.

The midi skirt belongs to the group of clothes that we can wear when we have absolutely nothing else to wear and we don’t want to wear the same old jeans or black pants. It combines with official events or even for everyday life.

How to use it?

A slightly flared skirt goes very well with sandals, flats or even sneakers. On top: a sweatshirt, a fine knit with a high collar or a blazer.

A top or blouse with horizontal stripes are classic and super useful. Coco Chanel put stripes on the bucket list in the early 20th century, and the trend still continues.

How to use?

So that this model does not get fat, opt for thin stripes and combine with accessories in just one tone, such as a black blazer or a dark pattern.

The bomber jacket was created for US Air Force pilots during World War II. Its main feature is the elastic on the sleeves and waist. But that jacket is a’must have’ for both men and women.

How to use them?

Bomber jackets are worn with jeans, shorts or skirts. Most importantly, be sure to accent your image with bright colors, otherwise you could end up looking like a gloomy military man. If you are not a fan of the military style, opt for flowery prints.

The overcoat marks the figure and is an excellent option for warming up. Of course, this only happens with natural wool pieces.

How to use?

If you can’t stand wearing black anymore, buy a camel-skin overcoat. It is a neutral color, capable of giving lightness and attracting attention.

Designers are constantly inventing different types of sports sneakers with designs. Nowadays we see platform sneakers with super different designs. But there is a model that never goes out of style: white.

How to use?

White sports sneakers have turned into universal footwear: they can be worn with any outfit. The most obvious option is to wear them with jeans, but they can also be worn with a midi dress, culottes or leather pants.

The white shirt can be combined with any type of clothing or footwear. It’s a basic garment that confirms that less is always more.

How to use them?

Stylists recommend always having a short-sleeved and a long-sleeved white shirt in your closet. But white is not always the same, as the tone can vary greatly. If a T-shirt contrasts too much with your tooth enamel or the whites of your eyes, the style can look a little artificial. That is, before buying a white T-shirt, try it on.

Stylists claim that when you’re over 30, it’s a little ugly to put your cards and money directly in your pants pocket. That is, it is important to have a beautiful wallet.

How to use it?

Think about the color, texture and size, always keeping in mind the best possible combination with your clothes. The main thing is that the wallet is of good quality.

Stylists say with certainty that it is very important to have a knit with a high collar in the closet, especially for those who work in an office.

How to use it?

If you have wide hips and want to maintain a certain balance in your body, don’t buy a shirt with a tight collar. The high collar can be worn with pants, a skirt or even in combination with a jumpsuit (overol).

A silk scarf is not just a pretty accessory; it is also an excellent investment. Classic patterns never go out of fashion and pass from generation to generation.

How to use?

The silk scarf can be worn as a scarf, as a belt or even clipped to your bag. It is not very difficult to check whether the material is natural. Hold the tissue in your hands and it will quickly warm up to body temperature.

This model is suitable for any woman, the important thing is to choose the cut correctly. A low rise isn’t always a good choice; it depends on the body.

How to use?

Skinny, ripped jeans should show off your shin. Stylists admit that this option is even more eye-catching than a plunging neckline. If you have to lie in bed to get into a pair of pants like this, you’re probably wearing the wrong size. Buy a bigger one and stop suffering. This model must not obstruct or interfere with breathing.

The search for the ideal red lipstick is a great odyssey. But the search is worth it, especially after the age of 30.

Tips for finding the perfect lipstick:

Blond women with fair skin look great with red fruit tones, like raspberry, for example. Brunette women with brown eyes match the cherry tone or wine. Redheads are combined with red-pink, according to stylists. Brown hair goes well with classic red.

Important: red lipstick highlights all the imperfections of the skin on the face, so you need to look for the perfect shade and do not forget about eye makeup.

For women over 30, stylists recommend ditching leggings and buying more elegant sportswear. Recent studies have shown that wearing workout clothes can help you lose weight due to psychological effects — you actually feel more fit.

How to use them?

With sports shoes, obviously. But not just that; you can also combine them with classic footwear. For the top we recommend a bomber, a denim jacket, a blazer or just a simple T-shirt.

Low-heeled Presta boots are almost as important as a white T-shirt, mainly because they can be worn both day and night.

How to use them?

With a midi skirt and an overcoat, denim jacket, blouse or even with tight pants.

Even if you’re an introvert, there’s always going to be some party you can’t escape. Designers claim that after the age of 30 it is necessary to have at least one more elegant dress.

How to use it?

The most convenient option is always the basic little black dress. It does not take up much space in the closet and can be combined with different shoes.

From the age of 30, it is better to forget about shapeless knitwear and give preference to quality woolen knitwear. The important thing is to know that a quality mesh is more expensive, but ends up lasting much longer.

Designers point out that you’ll feel great in a cashmere sweater. The main thing is to choose the right model.

How to use?

Knitwear goes well not only with jeans, but also with a leather skirt or more classic trousers.
