  • Looking relaxed, which if you are over 40 can be a little challenging, as we are temperature challenged at the best of times.

  • The clothes should be a fitted, not tight, so buy clothes with the right fit. Anything too tight is restrictive and difficult to pull off and anything too baggy can look odd.

  • Try white jeans � especially for summer. Paired with citrusy bright and simple jewelry, they look smashing on women of 40.

  • Pick skirts that hit right around knee-length. For the majority of body types, anything lower is unflattering, anything higher might be verging on immodest.

  • Carry a stylish � and relatively large � handbag. Seek out something fun and biggish to keep your look fresh.
