Style in Midlife is a potential minefield. As Midlife women we can feel under so much pressure to keep up with trends, while at the same time avoiding the whole “mutton dressed as lamb” dilemma and our Inner Critic uttering an eye-rolling “You can’t wear that!”
But we still want to feel stylish, confident, glamorous – sexy even. For ourselves. In way that feels right to us – because Midlife style is not about pleasing anyone else.
So join Kate Porter and her guest Midlife style expert and sustainability ambassador Alex Standley as they smash style stereotypes about “age-appropriate” dressing and bust myths like over 50s can’t wear sequins talking about How to wear what you love, and love what you wear as a Midlife woman so that you feel fabulous inside and out.
From their style icons and the impact of the rise over-50s influencers, to disrupting the Midlife style narrative of playing it safe with our style choices once we hit 50, tune in for insights and inspiration for how to avoid fading into the background by discovering your signature style and letting it speak for you.
The leopard-print loving pair also talk about their passion for preloved, and Alex shares her top tips for sourcing sustainable items to enhance your style and curate your wardrobe.
