In todays challenge Julia encourages us to wear a belt - and gives us tips to choose the best belt for our individual body shapes. It’s amazing the difference a simple accessory can make when it...

We are posting each challenge the evening before so that you have time to prepare your outfit/ your challenge ahead of time. We call get stuck in a rut when it comes to what we wear, especially as we are being asked to work from home wherever possible during lockdown. It is so easy to reach for jogging bottoms and a plain top - it can become a uniform. There is no need to become invisible - even when working from home ( think about those potential Zoom calls - be prepared to stand out! ) So, tomorrow’s...

  5. Style over 50: Best knitwear picks for autumn

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon Its knitwear season again! With many more of us working from home, we are likely to be wearing more knitwear than usual. So how can we still be stylish over 50 when wearing sweaters? To be honest, my everyday working from home wardrobe ( I have been home based for 25 years) during autumn/winter tends to be black jeans and black sweater with the addition of a chunky necklace for zoom calls. But, when ‘off duty’ I prefer to wear something a little more inspiring. I have pulled together some of my online favourites. I have stayed clear of classic styles selected items that are a little bit different. Wherever possible I try to shop in my own wardrobe prior to buying anything...

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon 2020 has been a strange and challenging year for most of us.

We have been very much relying on shopping in our own wardrobes! But, even with more restrictions predicted (just as we were starting to embrace a new sense of normality) , the occasional new item of clothing can serve to give us a lift – even if its just to relax at home or jump on a Zoom call. I have found that I have been wearing my more relaxed clothes over the...

  10. My style over 50: A new style over 50 series

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon I thought it would be fun to have women over 50 who love clothes to share their style stories with Fab after Fifty readers. I’m starting the series by sharing my own personal style. I don’t think I’ve ever interviewed myself before!! About me: I have always loved clothes – from a very young age – I didn’t really play with dolls as such as a child – but I did create outfits for them- making a lot of them myself out of scraps of fabric and wool left over from family members knitting. My grandfather was a tailor- as were many generations of the family before him – he never really played with us – but did explain how patterns were cut,...
