If you conduct a survey on whether a person over 50 should dress according to their age, then the majority will answer: “Yes!”. But if people admit the existence of life on Mars, then why not admit that style and fashion are for all ages.
In order for older fashionistas to feel the ground under their feet and begin to break stereotypes - “He didn’t dress for his age!”, Let's give a few arguments.

Just think, some 10-15 years ago, sneakers were considered purely youth shoes. Now comfortable and practical sneakers and sneakers are in the wardrobes of people of mature age. Designers every season offer a large selection of comfortable and bright shoes, stylish oversized clothing, trendy trouser suits and jeans, original accessories, etc.
The world is changing, the youth of modern people lasts much longer than previous generations. Someone is not afraid to start a career or even life after 35, others are not afraid of the first marriage at 40. In Turkmenistan, for example, at the legislative level, the age of young people has been fixed up to 35 years inclusive.
Another strong argument in favor of the fact that there are no strict age limits in fashion is the increased demand for mature models. At the Versace show in 2017, supermodels of the 90s appeared on the catwalk: Cindy Crawford (at that time 51 years old), Naomi Campbell (47), Claudia Schiffer (47) and others. Now the regular appearance of stars over 50 at fashion shows is not surprising.

In addition, global brands of cosmetics, clothing, jewelry in their advertising campaigns are increasingly using celebrities in their golden years: Anthony Hopkins in the shooting of Loewe, Andie MacDowell for L'Oreal, 91 years old Carmen Dell'Orefice on the cover of Vogue and many more examples.
What should be considered when choosing clothes?
Professional stylists advise creating a wardrobe according to the principle of “beautiful / ugly” and “appropriate / inappropriate”. Therefore, you should not bypass while shopping dresses of actual silhouettes or trendy trousers. Moreover, the so-called clothes by age (boring colors, long-released styles, hoodies), on the contrary, add age to their owner.
