As time goes by, dressing well makes life more interesting. Women have specific dressing characteristics at different stages of life, so after entering middle age, they are less likely to chase trends like 17 or 18-year-old girls.
Early spring is the wedding season. Have you received any wedding invitations? Have you thought about what to wear to the banquet?
When it comes to “formal occasions” for middle-aged women, gorgeous evening gowns may be dazzling but too flashy.
Middle-aged women should focus on “temperament and charm” when dressing for formal occasions, especially simple and elegant outfits that can showcase your unique style.
It’s essential to show “respect” to others at formal occasions, and clothing items, jewelry, and hairstyles should be “carefully matched.” To dress well, remember these “3” points to look “presentable” and “beautiful” at formal occasions.
I. “Loose Hairstyle”
ormal occasions don’t necessarily mean “official events.” Most of the formal occasions in our daily life are “weddings,” “full moon banquets,” “birthday banquets,” etc., not “rigid” banquets. Therefore, don’t wear your hair too tight at such joyous occasions.
A good hairstyle enhances your temperament and makes your face look smaller. Before attending the banquet, visit a hair salon and ask Tony to create a big wavy style.
Romantic “shoulder-length curls” greatly showcase the relaxed feeling of mature women, even if you wear a slightly sharp suit, it’s still full of fashion sense.
II. “Minimalist Accessories”
Do you think the more expensive and numerous the jewelry, the more it can show a “formal sense”? In fact, this is not the case.
When matching, remember these 7 words: “Jewelry should be exquisite, not excessive.” Wearing too much jewelry at once can only label you as “tasteless,” “low-class,” or “nouveau riche.”
Proper jewelry matching is like adding wings to a tiger, instantly elevating the level of the outfit.
How should jewelry be adorned? First, the amount of gold and silver should not be too much. “Simple and delicate is beautiful.”
Second, gemstone jewelry is more eye-catching when paired with plain or less designed clothing.
Finally, pair a V-neck with a necklace; a round neck with earrings; if a necklace or earrings are glamorous, keep the other simple. Remember this formula for more fashionable and stylish jewelry matching.
III. “Fitted but Not Tight Clothing”
Wearing tight clothing at formal occasions always requires holding your breath, and you don’t dare to eat much at the banquet. Wouldn’t that mean saying goodbye to happiness?
When buying clothes for formal occasions, remember “loose + fitted.” Choose the appropriate size according to your body shape.
Wear clothes that are fitted and comfortable, so you can move freely and naturally. Loose clothing is easier to create a “relaxed and noble feeling.”
Middle-aged Women’s “Formal Occasion” Outfit Demonstrations
LOOK 1: “Light khaki base shirt + double-faced cashmere long coat + white fitted trousers”
The “varying shades of khaki” create a monochromatic outfit with a natural sense of layering. A black belt at the waist serves as an accessory, perfectly connecting the waistline and adding a fashionable element.
The only drawback of this set is that the outfit alone may appear a bit formal and rigid. Fortunately, the chestnut-colored long curls cascading over the shoulders add a touch of romantic charm.
The face is adorned with exquisite and clean makeup, and the bean paste-colored lipstick greatly enhances the complexion.
Pinning the hair back allows the delicate pearl earrings to make a shining appearance, undoubtedly adding the perfect finishing touch.
LOOK 2: Sky blue turtleneck + fine plaid long skirt
This outfit is truly gentle, with the pure sky blue worn on the body. Although there is no excessive design, seemingly plain, the appearance of a pearl necklace is like the finishing touch.
The bottom is a high-waisted plaid skirt, without the exaggeration of a flamboyant skirt, but instead a low-key and elegant straight cut.
The neat and clean short hair is more compatible with the overall outfit, dancing in the wind, carefree and comfortable. The overall look is clean and high-end, exuding a refined gentleness that makes people feel like a breath of fresh air.
Now you know how middle-aged women should dress for “formal occasions,” right?
