Editors Note: This post was put together at reader request, and we think it’s such a great idea we plan to do more of these in the future. So keep those ideas flowing ladies! Comment below or email us at scoopitnews@gmail.com.
Shopping for age-appropriate style can be difficult in the trendy & cute boutiques around town. Actually, it’s difficult no matter where you shop ~ it’s not a boutique thing or a Charlotte thing. It’s an aging thing.
After a certain age, we all know mini dresses are difficult….[But tunics are great. So try the mini you love on over skinnies or a long narrow skirt and see how that works. You might be surprised]….
So are halters, sleeveless, bustiers, strapless, cut outs, all-black, crop tops, skinny jeans, sheers and more. The “Fashion People” love to say that style is ageless, and that’s true in a sense. But crepe-y skin and back fat rolls are real things, and not everyone wants to wear theirs loud & proud.
We polled the local shops for their current styles for all ages. So whether you’re in your 20’s or your 50’s, take a look at their ideas below. You CAN find something flattering yet ultra stylish to wear in stores now. And remember, layering is your BFF with any of these styles. T shirts can transform spaghetti straps and strapless dress or bustier over a men’s shirt is definitely a look worth testing.
