Age-defying Fashion
Check out our guide to looking fashionable and fabulous, regardless of your age.
Curating your dream wardrobe, filled with timeless and classic pieces, is easier than you think. But you don’t need to compromise on individuality. Age-defying fashion is all about honing your fearlessness and choosing to wear what speaks to you rather than what others expect you to wear.
Style icon and social media superstar Baddie Winkle is the perfect example, at 93 years young she strives to put her unique mark on the fashion world. No silent rules dictate what she should or shouldn’t wear and we think she looks incredible for it - not to mention ferociously fun.
Here are 5 staples you should have in your wardrobe with an age-defying twist…
Year-Round Boots
Never underestimate the power of a pair of boots. After two years of on-again- on -again lockdowns, wearing heels has taken the backseat when hitting the town. If you’re heading out for the night or attending an event, you don’t want to sacrifice your night to sore feet and blisters. Boots are not only a comfortable alternative, but they’re on-trend all year long. Switch it up for spring and summer seasons with neutral hues like camel and khaki.

Little black Dress
An LBD, or little black dress, is one of the most useful tools in your fashion arsenal. Dinners, drinks, a confidence pick-me-up - whatever use you may have for your LBD, it’s priceless. If you find yourself wishing you had something more daring to wear, shift away from classic smock style dresses and opt for an asymmetric cut instead.

The Statement Jacket
A statement jacket can transform any outfit and elevate it better than accessories ever could. Ideally, your jacket should tie your whole look together even if you’re wearing something casual like jeans and a plain white tee. And as we head into spring, a statement jacket can also create an exciting outfit while you’re huddled outside with friends at parties in transitional weather.

All-Purpose Knitwear
Knitwear is great throughout the wintry months for keeping us warm but a chunky-knit can do much more than that. All-purpose knitwear can boost an outfit by adding colour and texture, using a chic knitted vest to layer or a cardigan to add a soft feminine touch to your look. Coming into spring, there are countless pastel knits to choose from.
