New Year’s Chic at Any Age
by style contributor, Julie
Ahhhh…New Year’s Eve, it’s the hardest holiday to get figured out. When we were 20-something, fresh faced and fancy free, it was a no brainer. Posh nightclubs, short skirts, mini dresses and meeting midnight still bright eyed and bushy tailed. Now that we’ve graduated to more sophisticated stages of life, and swanky parties mean cocktails with close friends, not standing in line behind velvet ropes, it’s time to seek that same clarity in our December 31st outfits. Here are a few tips on how to keep your spark without losing your shine!
30’s: Still Flouncy and Flirty
Even though you’ve bid adieu to very young adulthood, you haven’t suddenly become buttoned-up. Flouncy hemlines and breathy fabrics help you maintain your youth. It’s icing your outfit with gorgeously designed and detailed jewelry that adds the perfect amount of elegance.

40’s: Perfectly Fitted
Figure flattering and fitted is what you should be aiming for. Don’t be afraid of curves or the most amazingly tailored dresses to hug them. When you let the silhouette become the star, accessories should be held to a minimum. Let the outfit speak for itself and it’s sure to only have very sweet things to say!

50’s: Very Laced Back
A little kiss of lace keeps you demure, and when it’s expertly placed, adds a little spicing of very appropriate sexiness. Artful accessories such as a statement bag or conversation starting earrings and bracelets will make your New Year that much better.
Even though you’ve outgrown the socialites of the South Beach scene, remember elegance is ageless and there’s nothing more beautiful than a poised and polished woman! This year, embrace your elevated New Year’s Eve!
