Style and beauty are not just the prerogative of the young. There is absolutely no reason why a woman well into her fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond cannot look attractive and stylish. But, whereas the young may manage to pull off some dubious fashion choices, we grown-ups need to dress with a little more care to look our very best.

Neutrals, And How To Wear Them
What are Neutral Colours?

Neutrals will never be the most exciting colours in your wa...

Can I Wear Black?
This is often the first question I am asked when people come to me for a colour analysis. I'm really not in the business of telling grown women what they can and can't do but, whilst many of us love black, sadly for some (myself included!), it doesn't give the same love back.
Deeps, Cools and Clears will all have Black in their wallets; it's a useful neutral. We give Lights...

How To Wear Black
Most women have quite a lot of black in their wardrobes and it’s easy to see why:

It’s seen as being chic and sexy
It’s slimming
Unfortunately, on most mature women, black looks rather harsh and can be quite ageing. And there's really no need to wear it to look slimmer; all dark colours will have a similar effect, so how about trying ...

Facing Up To Face Masks
I don't think anyone enjoys wearing a face mask but we have to accept them as our new normal, and regardless of the style and colour that you choose, first and foremost, we must remember that they exist to keep us safe. That said, I have been asked for advice on many different aspects of wearing masks, so I thought I'd share a few thoughts with you.
