What's in fashion for 40+year olds

Just wondering what is in fashion for women in their 40s+? I've lived in jeans and t shorts and wondering what's more fashionable.

I'm pear shaped who has put on weight due to medication, so am feeling fat and frumpy, and would like some new clothes to boost me up,

What's in fashion for 40+year olds? Good grooming and always style over trend and fad.

No idea what's in fashion but I pretty much live in skinny jeans, skinny combats, Whistles tube skirts and a biker jacket, unless at work.

I wouldn't really worry about what is fashionable, but rather wear items that suit you and most of all, that you like. I live in jeans too and wear t-shirts a lot , but I pair with jackets, scarves, necklaces to break the plain tshirt look. I wear quite plain clothes too, I work in a very male orientated industry so if I went to customers wearing a short skirt and heels, it just would make me uncomfortable and isn't right for the environment. But I always get positive comments and I have had many of my clothes (especially jackets) for years and years.

I think your shape is far more significant than your age. There's a thread for pear shapes knocking around - I think it's called 'pear quiche' or something similar.

I'm in my 40s and tend to buy a lot from mint velvet. The styles are current but they are also very wearable.

2nd Mint Velvet, They have some good options.
