Christmas Party Shopping for Women Over 50: Finding the Perfect Fit
The holiday season is filled with festive events, and finding the perfect outfit for a Christmas party as a woman over 50 can be a bit of a challenge. Whether you're attending a formal work party or a casual family gathering, your outfit should reflect both your style and the celebratory spirit of the season. With a few key considerations in mind, you'll be able to find something that's not only stylish but also comfortable and flattering. Let's walk through the steps to find the perfect fit!
Understanding Your Body Shape Over 50
As we age, our bodies change, and the styles that suited us in our 20s or 30s might not be the best fit anymore. Whether you’re apple-shaped, pear-shaped, hourglass, or rectangle-shaped, knowing your body type will help you choose a Christmas party outfit that flatters your figure.
- Apple-shaped: Carrying weight around the midsection? Opt for A-line dresses or tops that draw attention to the shoulders and neckline.
- Pear-shaped: Focus on accentuating your upper body with stylish tops or statement jackets. A-line skirts can balance your figure beautifully.
- Hourglass-shaped: Embrace your curves with fitted dresses that cinch at the waist.
- Rectangle-shaped: Create the illusion of curves with outfits that add volume either to the upper or lower body. Think ruffled tops, flared skirts or Jeans! (the CRO Denim Flared Jeans are Perfect!)
Fabrics That Offer Both Comfort and Elegance
Comfort is key for Christmas party attire, but you don’t have to sacrifice style. Look for fabrics that offer both.
- Velvet is a winter classic—luxurious and warm, perfect for those chilly evenings.
- Silk and satin offer a soft, polished look for more formal gatherings.
- Sequins are always a hit during the festive season, adding a touch of glamour to your look.
Just make sure whatever you choose feels good on your skin and allows you to move comfortably while mingling and celebrating.
Colours That Flatter Mature Skin Tones
The right colour can elevate your entire look. As we age, our skin tones change, and finding the right shades is essential for looking your best.
- Rich jewel tones like emerald green, royal blue, and deep burgundy are flattering and festive for the season.
- Metallics such as gold, silver, or bronze can add a touch of glam without being over-the-top.
- Classic black is always a sophisticated choice, but don’t shy away from bold, bright colours that complement your skin tone.
