Our fashion experts show you how to look stylish at 60, no matter your taste...
Remember – it’s all about attitude not age. This is an exciting and liberating time for women in their sixties.
For many, family duties and demands are beginning to ease a little, so make the most of it!
If you’ve never discovered your ‘signature style’, now’s the time. We think it’s time to start indulging in a little bit of what you fancy – so why not start with your wardrobe?
Dressing to flatter your body and express your personal style can make you feel young and confident, whatever your age.
Too old for trends? Never! One thing style in your sixties should never be is boring! Who’s to say you shouldn’t enjoy experimenting? It’s all about making it work for you, your body and your personal style.
Prefer to blend into the background in black? You might be surprised to discover that a little colour and print could visibly strip back a few of those years you’re ever-so-slightly reluctant to own up to…

When it comes to covering up, it’s time to lighten up. Versatility is key. A super soft longline blazer will look with just about everything. Over a LBD or with a Breton tee and jeans, a blazer will see you through the years to come.

£99, Whistles
Think you’re too old for jeans? Pah! There isn’t such a thing. The only thing that will make you look old is out-dated denim. Stay on top of the key shapes and must-have styles for each season. For SS18 it’s all about a high waist and cropped legs. Ease yourself by sticking to a flattering black shade, like this pair from Whistles.

From playful pom-poms to long dangly tassels or colourful jewelling, get yourself a collection of bold earrings that even Pat Butcher would be jealous of.

£115, Karen Millen
Put a new spin on the classics. You’ll of course have heard that ‘every woman should own a crisp white shirt‘ a few hundred times over the years. Well, we agree. But that doesn’t mean you can’t put your own stamp on it… Look out for embellished collars, ruffles or super over-sized sleeves for a fashion-forward spin.

Never been brave enough for leather biker jacket? Well, it’s never too late to try even the most daring of trends. Think Saint Laurent more than Sandra Dee.

If leather is a touch too far, then choose a suede biker in a softer shade. It’s lighter and easier to wear.

£24.99, H&M
Trying new styles is key to staying up to date and modern. Culottes are a great spring trouser that look smart enough for a nice meal out but are super comfy. We love these stripe pair from H&M. Team with a black blazer and cami.
