A: Yes! One of the best ways to do this, according to Linda Waldon, image stylist to women over 50, is to create a “uniform” and wear it often.
Linda encourages women to define their signature style uniform for two reasons:
- Your signature style expresses your personality.
- Wearing the same type of outfit every day is just easier!
Not sure what your signature style is? Here are some examples:
Putting Your Uniform Together
Your signature style will drive your choice of clothing. If your style is Simple, your go-to uniform may be a tee shirt, blazer, and jeans. If your style is Relaxed, your uniform may be leggings and a long shirt.
Now you can focus on using what you have in your closet, or adding pieces strategically. Keep these tips in mind:
- Keep outfits fresh and save money by switching out shoes, adding different jewelry and swapping handbags.
- Make it comfortable. You might love the look of jeans and a blazer, but you actually feel happier in a dress. Similarly, if you have cute shoes, but they hurt, you won’t be happy wearing them. Keep only what makes you feel terrific.
- Wear your best colors. Your favorite outfit may fit your style, but it might not be showing you in your most flattering light.
For example, Linda is a “Copper” color palette, which is her True Colors brand season for autumn. Here is a before (wearing her original go-to muted colors) and after (learning her color season) picture of Linda:
