Tips on How to Add Glamour to Your Look After 60

Turning sixty has become a new milestone in the realm of fashion. Rather than retiring from the world of style, sixty-somethings are making their own statements today by taking things up a notch...and they aren't being shy about it. Curious as to how you can add a little oomph to your own wardrobe? Take a glance at the following tips on how to add glamour to your look after 60.

Tip #1: Try on a pair of sleek, satin pants. Satin pants are big for women who can pull off a sophisticated look with ease. Slip on a brightly colored, straight leg style and pair with a sweater for a quick, easy dose of daywear glamour.

Tip #2: Wear cashmere...day or night. A cashmere twinset or sweater can be worn with anything from a sequined skirt to a pair of jeans. Choose the highest quality you can find to add a bit of understated sexiness with the soft, sensual fabric.

Tip #3: Add a few layers of short, round necklaces. Necklaces high in shine and noticeable texture just around the neck will bright the face and detract years from your overall look. Exotic stones and uniquely shaped designs, as opposed to traditional strands, work best.

Tip #4: Replace tennis shoes with flats. Even if you, like most women, retired the stilletos at about twenty three, that doesn't mean that your feet have to go completely bland and boring. Trade in the white tennis shoes (we're all guilty of owning a pair) for sleeker flats in silks and other fine fabrics. You won't be sacrificing comfort, and you'll make an instant change that will add glamour in leaps and bounds to any basic outfit.

Tip #5: Try satin peep-toe heels. Appropriate for any age group, the peep-toe heel is a classic sex kitten look that is never too over-the-top. Pair them with a dress, or be a bit more daring and wear them with your favorite dark-wash jeans.

Tip #6: Allow skirts to hit just above the knee. Whoever said to add an inch to your hemline every five years didn't realize that the skin right above the knees doesn't change much over time. There's no reason to hide under all that fabric. Show off a little leg.

Tip #7: Glide on a bold red lipstick. Red lipstick, when worn with a bit of gloss, brightens the face, whitens the teeth, and gives off a confident vibe. Need we say more? Do be sure to add a little gloss rather than going completely matte, or an aging effect will take place and the intended look will be lost.

Tip #8: Go silver the right way. There's nothing wrong with sleek, sexy silver hair on a woman. There is something wrong with fried, wiry hair in a flat color shade. Visit a stylist to have a few streaks put in, and make moisture and a great cut your priority. Don't forget to add a light coating of shine spray daily.

Tip #9: Keep nails bold and beautiful. Forget boring neutrals. A gorgeous bright color on special occasions is key to keeping hand youthful. Because hands are such a tremendous indicator of age, don't forget to also keep them well moisturized at all times, no matter what color is on the tips.

Tip #10: Go off the shoulder a little. The shoulders are a woman's best friend as she progresses in years. They tend to gain the least weight on the body and receive the least harsh effects of natural aging. Show off your collar bone during the day, and go completely off the shoulder with sweaters and gowns at night.

Approaching sixty means finally having the confidence as a woman to be sexy without sacrifice. Wear your age well, ladies.
