What are the best outerwear styles for women over 40?

Stylists hear this question quite often from many clients over 40, and that’s why they want to finally dot all the i’s. Unfortunately, no one formula suits everyone, just as no algorithm will help absolutely everyone easily create a basic wardrobe with trendy outerwear.

But there is an understanding that before you run to the store for another coat that your best friend bought, you should be sure that this coat meets all your needs and corresponds to the tasks that are solved with the participation of this item in your wardrobe.

This is where the “stylish life hack” comes in – when buying an item, no matter if it is a fur coat or trousers, close your eyes and imagine three images with this item, and if the puzzle fits together easily in your head, then you should buy it. In the meantime, let’s figure out which items are best suited for girls over 40.

Down jacket

This season, short and long voluminous models are at the peak of popularity. A down jacket is an outerwear that will perfectly fit into an image with a satin skirt, as well as with jeans. When difficulties arise in color preference, then choose down jackets of basic shades and dilute the image with bright accessories if you suddenly want color. And remember that this season, red, gray, and deep brown, like a bar of good chocolate, are at the peak of popularity.

Quilted coat or jacket

This is a great option for a demi-season top, which has turned from a trend into a base, and has been in our wardrobe for more than one season. A quilted coat robe will be an ideal addition to an image with a dress, and will also fit perfectly into an autumn outfit with sneakers. Quilted jackets are not far behind coats and interact perfectly with any clothes: jeans, skirts, trousers, tracksuits, and leggings.

Fur coat

When choosing a fur coat, the main thing is not to overdo it. It is better to choose discreet models in muted tones. Leather or denim items will make an excellent pair with fur. Many brands produce stylish fur coats from artificial and eco-fur, which look very natural and natural.

Sheepskin coat

This season, both short aviator-style options and maxi-length sheepskin coats are in fashion. Models with contrasting inner fur are especially popular. If you are at a loss as to which model to choose – long or short – then bet on functionality. For those who spend most of their time in the car and on the street in short dashes, it is logical to choose a short sheepskin coat that will fit into any style. But for those who value comfort and warmth, it is worth choosing elongated sheepskin coats.

Coat

When choosing a wool coat for the cold season, do not forget that you will need to wear a sweater or hoodie underneath. Therefore, the coat should be loose-fitting, not tight-fitting or clinging to the body. Maxi length and voluminous cut are relevant this season and will fit perfectly into any wardrobe. Do not be afraid to try on outerwear a few sizes larger than yours, do not get attached to the size chart, because the main thing is not the numbers on the tag, but how the item fits your figure and what image you get as a whole.
