  1. Summer Sale Picks to look Stylish on Holiday over 50

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon If you are looking for some things to buy last minute before this year’s holiday, or buying ahead for next year – something I often do at sale time – then there are some great summer buys at the moment. Due to the UK’s unpredictable summers (apart from last year’s exceptional weather) , my own summer wardrobe seems to consist of the same things brought out year after year, so sale time is a good way to add a few bits without spending a fortune. I am also conscious of my ‘cost per wear’, and my summer clothes are typically the ones that get worn the least – so I limit my spend per item. I have selected just a...

  2. Ageless Style: A review of The Bias Cut.com

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon With so many individual boutiques failing to survive on the High Street – where can you go to find clothes that are ‘ageless’, stylish and good quality? Shopping online is becoming increasingly popular, and there are more specialist sites catering to our demographic. One is the Bias Cut.com founded by anti- ageism activist (ageism is never in style) , and a regular contributor to Fab after Fifty, Jacynth Bassett. I popped along to take a look at Jacynth’s latest collection – and of course had to try on a few pieces while I was there. Jacynth was inspired to set up the Bias Cut in her twenties when she became increasingly aware of the frustration of mature women to...

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon With Valentines’s Day looming, and red being the colour of love and romance, I just had to search for the best of the red dresses available at the moment which I think suit fabulous women over 50. And for those not going out for a romantic meal on Valentine’s Day, did you know that if you are trying online dating, women who wear red in their profile photos have more responses from potential dates than women wearing any other colour!

So, here is my selection of red dresses I have selected a range of dresses with a wide range of prices....

  5. How to choose the perfect jersey dress

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon Jersey dresses can be so flattering for women of any age - but particularly for women over 50 - I have lost track of the number of jersey dresses in my own wardrobe. I thought it would be good to chat to somebody who designs jersey dresses to ask her what we should be looking for when buying a jersey dress in terms of style, fit and quality. So I asked Tina Malhame of NoLoGo Chic to share just how she goes about designing jersey dresses women in our age group. I really enjoyed my time with her - I hope you enjoy the resulting videos! The first video Tina talks about why jersey dresses are so flattering for women over 50 , how to look for top quality...

  7. Style over 50: Dress for a wedding or a day at the races

    Comment
    Style Pick by Ceri Wheeldon Continuing with our dressing for summer occasions series , here I have chosen a dress with sleeves in my favourite colour - cobalt blue. It is very similar to one I bought three years ago - I have had lots of wear out of mine - teaming it with diamante drop earrings for evenings I think it suits most skin tones and hair colours so for me is always a winner. This style of dress is ageless, so fabulous for women over 50. Great dress for wedding guests This dress is simple, elegant, great for weddings - and the neckline meets the dress code for race meetings such as Ascot- although if you are in the Royal Enclosure at...

  8. Look stylish over 50: Dressing for summer weddings

    Comment
    Style pick from Ceri Wheeldon What can we wear to look stylish and fabulous over 50 when it comes to summer occasions like weddings or race meetings ? Dresses with sleeves seem to be thin on the high street this season, but I have searched to find some that fit the bill, without looking too frumpy. I shall be sharing my finds over the next couple of weeks - so do check in regularly. Outfit number one. I started looking for an outfit for Mother of the Bride - I can see why my friends have resorted to having things custom made! I found it really difficult to find outfits that a) didn’t cost a fortune and b) didn’t look too matronly. I was looking to find something that...

    Comment

    Style pick by Ceri Wheeldon

     

    A fabulous dress with sleeves to add a touch of glamour, over the party season. The lace sleeves are an elegant way to cover arms but sheer enough to add a little sex appeal. It’s also a bargain at just £45 in the sale at House of Fraser,

    I have teamed it with sapphire teardrop earrings from John Lewis (£40) , a filigree clutch bag , also from John Lewis (£39) and shoes from Moda in Pelle (£39.95 in the sale). The shoes are great for a party look, but can also double up for smart daywear.…
