How To Make Your Forty and Fabulous Wardrobe Last

January 29th, 2013

Clothing is an investment, just as real estate or investment funds or even online casinos! For all of those you better do some research beforehand. Real estate hunter may want to check this before they get started, and online gamblers better check out casino reviews at sites like www.eonlinecasinoreviews.com before they put down a deposit for that bonus! Anyways, we’re getting a bit off-topic here. Back to clothing as an investment. With ever changing styles, it can seem like you are spending more and more money on items that fill up your closet but do not last for more than one season. If you are over forty, many of the trendiest items seem to be not only short on shelf life but personality as well. Dark colors and the same silhouettes can creep in year after year without much deviation. If you want to make your wardrobe last and still get the trends that you want, the following are some tips to make your wardrobe one you will more than just wear but enjoy.

Belts

Belts are a great investment that last more than one season and give your clothing a new flare. They are versatile and can be worn with different clothing choices, from sweaters to coats. By choosing belts in a variety of colors, you can take your basic black or neutral clothing items and give them a new look, without spending more money. Further, the right belt can be worn on patterns as well as plain clothing making it a style option that will last throughout the seasons. Belts, too, are always in style and the right style can be worn year after year. Take a look at Polyvore!

A great outer layer option in a strong color can also be an investment that will last more than just one season. A cardigan, for example, can be worn in virtually every season of the year and comes in a wide array of colors. A bright yellow cardigan over a gray dress will give it in a new life and can look just as fabulous as if you were wearing it with jeans and a t-shirt. For this reason, women over forty and of all ages for that matter can really benefit from choosing a strong outer layer option. For more great looks, check this out.
