It’s no secret that getting dressed each morning can be a challenge for some. For others it’s a quest, trying to figure if they can pull off certain trends and looks that appear to be for the Forever 21 crowd only. But true style is ageless! Those of us who are 35 and older can most definitely get our grown and sexy on. Today’s Star Style celeb, Gabrielle Union, is among the youthful, 40 and fabulous club that’s bringing it better than some of her 20-something counterparts. Read on for insight on how to pull off a timeless, fashion-forward look this spring, as inspired by some of Gabrielle’s top looks.
Let your wardrobe bloom this spring with a modern 1950s-inspired style floral-print dress. Plus, you really can pair a number of your favorite shoes –whether a ballet flat, a kitten heel, a wedge, or a strappy stiletto — with such a dress.
Regardless of what coast you’re on, light layers are a must as the seasons transition, so do it in style. And remember, season-less leather can edge up just about any look.
With the right jewelry and shape wear, you can totally pull off a cut-out dress trend with class.
Metallic pieces can add that special sparkle to a simple pencil skirt or pants, making your outfit an instant power look.
Be pretty in pink, but rock it out by mixing in a bold dark-print jacket and ankle boots.
If you’ve been thinking lace isn’t an appropriate trend for you to pull off in the office or other conservative settings, think again. Try wearing a dress with subtle lace details on the sleeves.
Consider incorporating ease and elegance into your wardrobe with a silk jumpsuit.
Choose dresses with color-blocked panels for the appearance of a slender figure.
