The wardrobe of a woman of elegant age should contain not only classic and basic wardrobe elements, but also trendy ones. Nothing ages more than items that have expired. Trendy items in your wardrobe will always add freshness and youth to your looks.
This time, for the design of the publication, we decided not to limit ourselves to photographs of women bloggers over the age of 50. Here you will see women of different ages who demonstrate images that are ideal for our reality.
What down jackets are relevant this winter?
Down jacket trench. The easiest, most understandable way to keep warm in winter. Looks assembled. Works great with everything in the wardrobe, both sweatpants and structured clothing. Can be worn under a belt or without. Instead of your own belt, you can use a leather belt.
Down jacket robe. It looks like a robe and is more structured than a caterpillar down jacket. Its disadvantage is that it is not warm enough because it just gets tied up.
Down jacket caterpillar. Visually, it is easier to refer to a sporty style, but stylistically it works more universally with non-sporting formal things in contrast.
Down jacket with a massive belt... The silhouette of an hourglass is created. The belt should not be made of down jacket material.
Leather down jackets. They are perfectly combined in a wardrobe, leather adds completeness to the image and looks neat, brings an interesting texture and zest to the image.
Down jacket with print. The print can be of any format. Brightens up on gray days. The image looks interesting. It is better to give preference to down-padded coats of modern forms with up-to-date prints. A down jacket, tight-fitting in a flower, cannot be called fashionable.
Topical sweaters
Polo sweaters. Due to the collar, polos look interesting, even with sweatpants. Do not be surprised, sports style is not the prerogative of young people, today elements of sports style are the base of a woman's wardrobe of any age.
Cardigan top. A cardigan that can be worn over underwear. Buttons add completeness to the look. You can adjust the depth of the neckline at the top. The cardigan is worn over something or on its own. Cashmere cardigans will be much warmer.
Sweaters with a print. We cannot wear tops, shirts and T-shirts in winter. Therefore, bright sweaters, decorated with slogans, in flowers, cages, peas - these are the statement elements of the image.
Bulky shoulders or lantern sleeves. The emphasis on the shoulders is relevant. Feel free to return to your favorite shoulder pads.
The effect of two sweaters. Interesting in terms of volume and textures in the image. It's easy to repeat a trend when you tie another sweater over the top of one sweater, especially if the colors and styles of the garments match.
Sweaters with perforations, cuts, holes. Rips, grunge decor elements look interesting. Hole sweaters can be solid or multicolored. This sweater will add playfulness and rejuvenation to the look. Although this decor is not suitable for everyone and, on the contrary, can make it look old. A woman in her 50s in grunge style can look very poor, almost like a homeless woman.
Capes and capes. Massive extra layer at the top.
Oversized oversized sweater. The classic of warm clothes for the winter has not gone out of fashion for several years.
Winter shoe trends
High boots with laces. Reaches the knee. The lacing helps to properly fit the shoes to the full calf. Combine with skirts, dresses. Works great with monochrome bows.
Jockey boots. Keep in shape. There should be space between the leg and the boot so that jeans or leggings can be tucked in.
Hiker boots. Visually, these are boots for hiking in the mountains. They are suitable even for the preppy style, they are comfortable and versatile to keep the foot warm, it is permissible to wear it with socks.
Moccasins with insulation. Comfortable, with modern outerwear will not look old-fashioned.
Massive Chelsea. Chelsea is a classic. The trend variation may not be relevant, but the classic one will always be relevant. An alternative to lace-up ankle boots. Chunky outsole protects from the cold.
Fashionable hats
Beanie hat. Choosing a model that is not too tight-fitting.
Hat. Hats of various shapes are relevant, but the classic form of a hat for the winter is fedora.
Beret. If you wear a beret with fashionable elements of outerwear and shoes, then it will give the image the desired touch of classics.
Cap. Today, both caps, similar to men, and caps are relevant.
Panama. Panama is suitable not only for youth, but also for age-related wardrobe.

Combination principles
When combining hats with outerwear, the following rules must be taken into account:
Combination of textures, structure, shades and density. A fur coat does not need to be stylistically combined with a fur hat, it turns out an old-fashioned image.
Combination of forms. Something streamlined and angular. Forms should complement each other. For example, a soft robe will work perfectly with a rigid-shaped cap.
Combination of styles. It is better not to choose a sports headdress for a sports jacket. You need to work, on the contrary, with opposite styles. For example, add a romantic headdress to a sports down jacket.
This is not to say that this headdress is necessarily combined with such a top, you need to disassemble each product separately. Still, there are general rules.
Quilted down coat
A classic, gathered, unstructured down jacket is combined with a scarf, a gathered structured cap, panama hat, hat, beret, beanie hat, cap.
Trench coat
We look at the density, the texture of the trench coat is matte and smooth. A trench coat is a classic, a super-classic headpiece will not work. A cap, a sports beanie, a scarf, a Panama hat, a pill hat will work well in the image.
Soft coat
Combines with structured headwear in a non-classic style. Hats are worn with soft, polarized products.
Cape
Relaxed, unstructured, classic, you can repeat a note of relaxation and combine it with a knitted hat or play on the opposite - put on a cape with a cap.
Raincoat with a glossy texture
Ushanka is polar in texture, the hat is polar in texture and shape.
Sheepskin coat
We do not use a fur hat and earflaps, everything else is permissible.
Biker jacket
Combines with earflaps, because the texture and mood are different. The biker jacket is sexy and dramatic, and the cap is a masculine wardrobe item, so the biker jacket also works with a cap.
Shortened sheepskin coat
A beanie hat, a cap will do, since the elements have different aesthetics.
Coat-shirt
The coat is structured, so the hat is only for those who are ready to support an active combination, then the rest of the outfit should be relaxed.
Fur coat
Actively textured clothing. The headgear should be of a polar texture. We remove any texture from the product. The beanie should also be neutral, non-ribbed.
Rigid coat
All-purpose bow formulas for winter

Knitted trouser suit, moccasins, coat (sheepskin coat, down jacket) and structured bag. Suitable for walking, especially if you put on thermal underwear, it will be very warm and you can walk for a long time.
