Style File — 18 April 2014
“Nothing makes a woman look so old as trying desperately hard to look young,” Coco Chanel said; and I couldn’t agree more. But this doesn’t mean that at a certain age you need to put the brakes on to look fashionable. It’s all a matter of selecting things that are both on-trend and age appropriate. For me, a shift dress is the perfect speed this season.
The sleek silhouette is forgiving and flattering. It comes in a variety of sleeve and hem lengths; depending on how much coverage you’re comfortable with. Whether you prefer solid shades or trendy ethnic-inspired prints and embellishments, the shift is chic and sophisticated.
