How many women can wear those things that demostriruet on the podium? Supershort miniskirts, open tops are suitable only for the 20-year-old girls with a good figure and thick wallets, is not it? "No, not so," - says Sally Singer - director of fashion news magazine Vogue.

Once a woman understands what type of clothes to her best, she can vary her outfits in line with fashion trends, personal taste, and of course - their financial capabilities.

"Very often, women find that fashion - it's for 20 years, at least, for 30 years, after that age, they prefer not to" dress up ", but simply" dress up. "

Singer suggests - a woman should use something that gives her age. Namely - the sense of self, "I am." That it helps to create your own unique style.

The next issue of American Vogue, which will hit stores in August, entirely devoted to this burning issue. It does not matter how old you are - it's important how you look at it. Examples will be given women of all ages - Lauren Bush, Stella McCartney, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss, Nicole Kidman, Stephanie Seymour, Madonna, Rene Russo, Iman, Sigourney Weaver and many others.

Iman admits that at the age of 20 years she was addicted to "stylish clothes", but now she prefers to wear only that coincides with its own style - primarily, pants and shoes without heels.

"I did not want to look younger than their age," - says the former supermodel. But she also does not want to look like an ordinary middle-aged woman. "I believe in change and I know that over time the body is changing, but that does not mean that you can not wear fancy pants Fancy pants: what to know about them  Fancy pants: what to know about them
   or shoes. "

If you are tall enough, the pure and deep colors will help you emphasize what is your main advantage - long legs (after age they are not getting shorter), as well as natural grace inherent in every woman.

"I'm not the most perfect legs in the world, so I wear the pants", - says Iman, who recalls with a shudder the days when she had to pace the catwalk in the huge heels.

Women of all ages want to be stylish, so designers quickly extend their field of activity. According to Singer, "Fashion is now - it's not only that are very young."

And a new trend in fashion clearly manifested in the recent demonstrations. The coming autumn-winter season can offer a very good choice for older women, as the collection are quite "adult": simple shapes without a huge amount of unnecessary frills and decorations. Top designers of the world (Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford and Michael Korzo) are paying more attention to the "adult" collections.

Another encouraging point - a significant drop in the prices of things from the leading fashion houses. Designers finally admitted that they work for the wider community and the quality is not always accompanied by a four-digit amount on the price tag.

As for color, the older women prefer the dark and neutral tones. True Singer notes that this rule is already out of date, so we can safely experiment with color.

"It is believed that the woman in the age should avoid bright colors How to wear bright colors: 7 Tips  How to wear bright colors: 7 Tips
 . This is not quite true. Women should avoid only those tones that she does not go, and in which they feel uncomfortable. "

But with all the makeup is somewhat different.

"An adult woman should look as natural as possible", - advises Iman, who recently opened her own cosmetic line. Stick to colors that almost match the color of your skin. For dark skin are preferred brown and coral shades for pale - pink, peach, and color "sun".

But above all, you should not care about make-up, and on your own skin. After all, "camouflage", which you are trying to hide wrinkles, in fact, they only further underscores. You do not want to look disgusting? A ton of powder plus wrinkled skin look very unpleasant, so first of all think of creams, masks and a good night rest - this is the best means to look good.

Another error - try to keep the young face. Can you imagine what it looks like forty-year woman in tight-fitting jeans (unless, of course, it did not name Madonna). Combining luxury trendy blouse and jeans is good for twenty years, but it looks very strange to an adult woman.

Although, in general, you can wear the same things, which are so loved in his youth, but adapting them to its present age.

It's quite easy to do if you're used to a strict English suit. But if you're a lover of supermini, you should switch to the vamp image, the image of the Female athletes, wearing a tennis skirt. And if you are used to emphasize their sexuality, try try fitting dress to toe, in which you will look very mysterious.

The main question for any woman (which is not so easy to solve) - when it comes to my time? When youth have small change to their suits?

More often look in the mirror. If you can say - "I look great today (even if you are standing in your pajamas)," it means your time has not come yet. But if what you see you do not like, it's time to change something.
