Look Fashionable over 40 this Spring

Our post about  How to wear this Spring’s Top fashion trends if you are over 40 was such a hit that we were flooded with questions about other upcoming trends. This week we thought we’d answer a few for you. So here’s: 5 Ways to Look Fashionable this Spring when you are over 40.

Question # 1 Cut out shoes

I’ve noticed a lot of shoes with dramatic cut outs and straps appearing in the magazines. I like them because they are so different and would love to try a pair, but wonder if they are they too trendy because I’m over 40. Also, what do you wear them with? …..Catherine

Hi Catherine,

What you are seeing is really updated strappy sandals that have more of a gladiator or cage feel, as they are also calling it. They’re great for women of all ages. The trick is getting a pair that isn’t too over the top.

No Stay away from styles that are too clunky and junky. Wedges, straps, buckles, zippers… too much going on here for gals over 40.		Yes These Tory Burch gladiator pumps are much more refined and age appropriate.

No No!

Also beware of gladiator sandals that come too high up…. tacky. These are horrible!

No Metallics are hot, but these are too just too bright to be classy.		Yes See how much nicer these toned down metallics are…

… and how great they go with a cute wrap dress like this. The gold shoe is considered a neutral and will elongate your legs!
