We know growing old sucks, and one might fear becoming irrelevant, and being outshone by all these Brazilian hair wearing, concealer using young girls. But still, there are some definite ‘no-nos’ when it comes to fashion after 50.
Clarion seems to have an inner Madonna urging her to try inappropriate dresses and loud vulgar makeup. On the other hand, Joke Silva dresses in an elegant stylish manner that suits her age.
1. Loud Makeup
Don’t do it. Just. Stop. It. No red brows or shiny silver eye shadow. Makeup after 50 should be simple and elegant.
2. Body Baring Dresses
You’ve had all your youth to show skin, cleavage, thighs, and all of that. Once you’re 50, it’s time to put it all back in, cover it up, and lock it away if need be. Except you’re Sharon Stone, then by all means, continue!
Bold red, yellows and other loud colours should get to rest once you’re 50.
Now, crossing the 50 threshold doesn’t mean that your fashion sense should go on indefinite sabbatical, however, understated elegance is key.
See Aunty Joke and Aunty Mo Abudu. Okay, maybe not Mo, but you get the idea.
