Fashion in your 30s is never easy, so here are some top fashion tips for women that will become like a guide to go back to whenever you don't know what to wear for any casual occasion.
So you are a woman with a career now, a partner who you are starting to think is the right one to settle down with, or maybe you are already married and have children. Whatever your situation, one thing must be said: 30 is definitely a tricky age for fashion! You want to look mature but not let go of your youth and this is definitely a difficult balance to achieve. Don't panic, here are some top fashion tips for women on how to dress if you are a 30something!
- A white t-shirt is your saviour: substitute all those t-shirts with funky slogans for a simple white t-shirt with an elegant v-neck. It's a must-have basic item for any woman and you can literally wear it with everything. Choose one that is well fitted to you and it will be a no-brainer for most casual occasions.
- Leave behind the sporty outfits: leave sporty clothes and shoes (yes, even your beloved sneakers) to the gym. You want to go for sophistication and elegance now!
- Avoid flashy combinations of colors and prints: coordinate more your looks and make sure you always have at least one neutral color among all the other bright ones in your outfit.
- Shoes: flats are just essential for any woman in her 30s, as they are really practical and comfortable but still remaining chic! If you want to go for heels, leave those stilettos for more formal occasions and opt instead for lower heels that are thick and stable.
- Go for compact and practical bags: leave those big designer bags to your teenage years, what you want right now are small bags with clean lines and in neutral and solid colors that will go with everything.
- Invest in higher quality: gone are the years when you kept changing your style every other week and buying really cheap clothes to follow all your whims. Now you can afford to invest in really good quality clothes that will last you for years and that are tailored to fit you perfectly!
- Fit is everything: as you may have gathered by now, fit is really important for any 30 something woman. Structured jackets and tailored dresses will make all the difference!
Here are some outfit examples that put into practice all the above fashion tips for women in their 30s!
You can wear a simple white t-shirt ($10 at Target) with a pair of great dark and flattering jeans ($99 at Macy's) and a beige blazer ($32.99 at Macy's). The red flats ($69 at Macy's) will brighten up the whole look! Save money of this look by using the fabulous Macys coupons!
Not because you have turned 30 you should start avoiding bright colors at all costs, but it is all about styling them in the right way. For instance, you can wear a brightly colored t-shirt, like this one in yellow ($10 at Target), with a pair of black flattering jeans ($135 at Macy's) and a woollen grey cardigan ($17.99 at Target) that will tone down the whole look. Opt for a great hobo bag in beige ($29.74 at Target) and a pair of low-heeled boots in the same color ($119.99 at Target). Save money on this look using the Target promo codes!
A much more sober look, a mix between casual and a bit more elegant that is perfect for running your errands in the city. A simple fitted dress with long sleeves is always a great investment ($345 at Amazon) and you will be wear it with literally any accessory and pair of shoes. In this case, I have used a pair of low-heel, super comfortable pumps ($49.99 at Famous Footwear) that you can get for less using the Famous Footwear coupons. A classic black bag is always a no-brainer in casual situations ($296.25 at Amazon) and use a series of bracelets ($22 at Amazon) to add an element of interest to the look.
