12 Styling & Fashion Tips For Women Over 30

Before you start thinking about all that you own or go through your wardrobe, check out some of these fashion tips and tricks on what you should ‘forget and forgive’ (yourself for wearing) and what you should confidently replace them with, in your 30s. Ready to enter the grown-up world of style and explore the amazing options in clothes for women in their 30s? Here we go: 

1. Ditch – BRIGHT, neon colours like lime, hot pink or shocking orange. You don’t want someone to burn their eyes, do you? If you must, wear them in small doses.

Replace With– Lighter colours like pastel pink, white, lavender or aqua blue. Such colours look stylish & graceful and will help you to add the desired style quotient in your look. Wear them with bright lipsticks and you’ll end up looking subtle yet sexy at the same time.

2. Ditch – Bodycon dresses. Especially the tight-fitting ones that might look provocative.

Replace With – Sheath and shift dresses – which accentuate your curves, beautifully and comfortably! Be it a brunch, formal event or a dinner party, nothing speaks more elegantly than this style statement.

3. Ditch – Graphic tees with weird patterns, slogans or worse – a BEDAZZLED design. You can still wear them at home if you want but outside? Absolutely not.

Replace With – It’s time to ‘button’ it up with chic shirts. They make you look smart and neat, and ready to take on the world. You can either tuck them inside your jeans or a pencil skirt or pair it up with a sassy little coat.

8. Ditch – Say goodbye to those extremely ripped/distressed jeans. We know it hurts but if you’re willing to look smart and elegant, these worn-out designs would be a BIG mistake.

Replace It With – Acid washed jeans can always be a fun alternative. Opt for these double-shaded jeans and pair them up with colourful tops for a sweet and sassy look.

11. Ditch – Wraparound skirts or pants. Why settle for something so ordinary?

Replace It With  – Maxi dresses or colourful kaftans should be your new best friends in summers. They’re loose, figure-flattering and look absolutely beautiful!
