Hat for women over 50
It is not easy for any woman to choose a headdress that would not only protect from the vagaries of the weather, but also perfectly complement her image. This issue is especially important for women over 50. A successful hat will add elegance to such ladies, while an unsuccessful one will give away a lack of taste.
Styles and models for women after 40 years
Women of elegant age should not wear overtly youthful hats, flashy and extravagant. But, on the other hand, age is not a reason to refuse fashionable products. The main rule is to avoid extremes.
Most ladies over forty prefer a classic style that will always be in fashion. So, felt hats - various models of hats will be an excellent choice.
A cloche hat with narrow brims, shaped like a bell, sits neatly on its head. A classic wide-brimmed hat looks gorgeous, but it will only suit slim ones. Note that on older ladies, options with feathers, rhinestones and similar ridiculous details look vulgar. But an elegant brooch will be very useful.
Of the felt hats, caps and berets can also be recommended for middle-aged women - the choice in this case is due to the style of clothing.
A universal thing for women of any age is knitted hats, especially since they are in trend today. Elderly ladies can afford both large and small knitting, as well as openwork options.
For women of a certain type of face, a fashionable Kuban hat (flattened, close in shape to a rectangle) is suitable. Also for the age of forty, knitted berets are relevant, you do not need to think that they are old-fashioned. Knitted hats look elegant, as a rule, with small brims - an option for chubby ladies.
In some cases, it is permissible to wear a yarn hood, but it must fit into the overall style.In general, older women need to avoid bulky structures.
As for the decor, pompons, tassels and certainly models with mischievous ears are categorically contraindicated for older ladies - such experiments demonstrate not at all the absence of complexes, but a lack of taste. You should not buy hats with a corporate logo - this is an attribute of youth style.
Choose a model decorated with a graceful flower of identical texture, a modest bow or a metal brooch. Forget ridiculous cheap plastic fittings and colored glass.
The status of a middle-aged woman will be emphasized by fashionable fur hats, especially if it is a polar fox, silver fox or mink. At the age of forty, you can afford both long-haired and short-haired models.
Voluminous fur hats are not for everyone - only for tall ladies who have managed to maintain a slender figure. Older women with shapes are better off choosing a model with a short or medium pile length. Also, do not forget about knitted fur products, which always look original.
Considering the styles of fur hats for ladies over forty, we note that the restrained classic style (for example, the same Kubanka) is most suitable for them. However, if you are not afraid to go for experiments, then you can try to put on a mischievous hat with earflaps.
Fur hats can be decorated with brooches, stones and rhinestones, but this applies only to short-haired models. Long-haired hats are luxurious in themselves - jewelry will only spoil the impression.
As for summer models for ladies of an elegant age, they need to forget about panamas made of cotton or synthetics - they are appropriate only for summer cottages. For a solid and stylish look, choose a wide-brimmed straw hat in a solid, dull color. It can be decorated with a miniature flower or ribbon.
Speaking about older women (well over 50), we note that they look most harmonious in hats. This is the previously mentioned wide-brimmed model and a cloche hat. A Breton hat with a soft domed top and curved edges looks elegant.
Elderly ladies should also pay attention to the "slouch" hat with small lowered brims and its version "fedora" (with a mandatory small edging).
For the age of 50-60 years old, a wonderful solution is a pill hat (it has no floors). In such a headdress, especially appropriate for special occasions, you will look like a real lady.
A woman's head will also be beautifully decorated with a beret: tweed and felt - in cold weather, brocade and velvet in summer (since ladies of this age usually do not go out with their heads uncovered).
Colour
Women of elegant age are advised to wear only plain hats, and their texture does not matter. Restrained mottled colors are acceptable. Bright and variegated options will emphasize wrinkles, imperfect skin color, dark circles under the eyes.
Choose a pastel, calm color scheme - it will refresh the complexion, which is especially important at the age of 50-60.
Stylists do not recommend black hats to middle-aged ladies - it makes them look old and emphasizes flaws. However, if black suits you, then wear it.
White is undesirable if the skin is too pale - you will get lost against its background.
For older ladies, a green tone is insidious, which can give the face an unhealthy look. The exception is dark-haired green-eyed women.
How to choose?
Older women need to choose a hat based on their facial features. A round face will be corrected by a voluminous hat and an asymmetric model (for example, a French beret). Laconic mink hats are also suitable for such ladies. Do not wear caps that completely cover your forehead, such as a bowler hat.
For a square type of face, choose a free beret, a classic hat or a hat with earflaps. Massive decor is inappropriate - it will overload the look.
Women with an oval face have more choice.
- The choice of headwear, of course, depends on the season. In winter, it is especially important for a woman over forty that the hat is warm and comfortable.
- Choose the color of the hat with great care. The wrong shade can add additional age, but a good option is to visually rejuvenate the face, giving it a fresh look.
- Buy hats with a minimum amount of jewelry, especially for fur products.
What to wear with?
A woman of 40-60 years old can combine trendy felt hats with a coat, raincoat or short-haired fur coat.
A fur hat looks the most harmoniously with a sheepskin coat or a classic-style winter coat. If you combine two fur products, then they must be of the same pile length.
As for a knitted hat, an elderly woman can wear it with almost any outer garment. However, an elegant small knit thing is most suitable for a feminine coat. If you are wearing a fur coat, choose a hat with a smooth texture.
A woman of elegant age should also get a set of knitted hat and a similar scarf.
Spectacular images
A knitted hat of a pleasant melange color, complete with a scarf, transforms the appearance of an elderly woman, makes her complexion fresher. Small margins and a neat top of the product differ in the knitting pattern - the dome has a more voluminous texture. An elegant knitted flower gives originality to the headdress. The style of the hat is in harmony with the shape of the face and hair of the lady. Silver earrings with pearls look appropriate in this ensemble.
An elderly lady in an elegant velvety beret looks like a true English lady who has gathered for a gala reception. The headpiece that matches the oval face is tilted to the side for a more stylish look. The whole ensemble is made in black, but it suits a woman and does not age at all. Black and white print on the lapel of leather gloves and jewelry made of noble pearls refreshes the image. The woman's makeup is bright enough, but not vulgar.
Dressed and painted old women look even worse than our grandmothers at the entrance. There are women who are dressed modestly but elegantly. I myself cannot go to this stage of life in any way. I am 53 and I don’t know how to dress. I still wear jeans, but no frills.
I like everything.
I'm 62, driving and what hats?
Dressing for your age, as suggested by magazines and shops, is like walking around with your passport open. And what kind of images: a respectable housewife, a neat mother of the family, an abandoned child in search. I chose the semi-sports-semi-bohemian style for myself, and it helps to remain myself, to be moderately mobile, moderately mysterious (without shocking), to realize my capabilities in needlework and renew my wardrobe without ruin.
Some at 35 look worse than at 50: external data - by nature.
This is all because we still feel in that "jeans age" ... I'm 56 ... and I also love jeans ....
I myself wear jeans with great pleasure, my daughters approve of my choice, if anything they correct, I consult with them and am grateful to them. The combination of colors and the correct selection of clothes and shoes are very important in style.
And I liked older women more. Everyone has a consistent style, very interesting sets. And in their case, no matter how old, everything looks very harmonious.
Dear ones, each of us (whether you are 40 or a little over 50) still has problems. Choose the one in which you will feel comfortable. Like this!!!! Thanks!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!
