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 years. A successful hat will add elegance to such ladies, while an unsuccessful one will show a lack of taste.
Styles and models for women after 40 years
Women of elegant age should not wear frankly youth hats, catchy and extravagant. But, on the other hand, age is no reason to abandon fashion products. The main rule is to avoid extremes.
Most women over forty prefer a classic style that will always be in fashion. So, felt hats - various models of hats will become an excellent choice.
Gently sits on the head of a cloche, with narrow margins, shaped like a bell. Classic wide-brimmed hat looks gorgeous, but it fits only slim. We note that variants with feathers, rhinestones and similar absurd details look vulgar on ladies at the age. But an elegant brooch will be very useful.
Felt hats for middle-aged women can also recommend caps and berets - the choice in this case is due to the style of clothing.
A universal thing for women of any age - knitted hats, especially since today they are in trend. Older ladies can afford both large and small knitting, as well as openwork options.
For women of a certain type of person, a fashionable Kuban cap will fit (flattened, close in shape to a rectangle). Also for the age of forty actual knitted berets are relevant, no need to think that they are old-fashioned. Knitted hats look elegant, as a rule, with small fields - an option for chubby ladies.
In some cases, it is permissible to wear a bonnet made of yarn, but it should fit into the overall style. In general, women aged should avoid bulky designs.
As for the decor, elderly ladies are categorically contraindicated in pompons, brushes, and certainly models with mischievous ears - such experiments demonstrate not the absence of complexes at all, but a lack of taste. You should not buy caps with a company logo - this is an attribute of youth style.
Choose a model decorated with an elegant flower of identical texture, a modest bow or a metal brooch. Forget about the ridiculous accessories of cheap plastic and colored glass.
The status of an elderly woman is emphasized by fashionable fur hats, especially if it is an arctic fox, silver fox or mink. At the age of forty you can afford both long-haired and short-nap models.
Volumetric fur hats are not for everyone - only tall ladies who have managed to keep a slim figure. Older women with forms is better to choose a model with a short or medium length of the pile. Also do not forget about the products of knitted fur, which always look original.
Considering the styles of fur hats, for women over forty, we note that most of them fit discreet classical style (for example, the same Kuban). However, if you are not afraid to go for experiments, then you can try to wear a naughty fur hat.
Fur hats can be decorated with brooches, stones and rhinestones, but this applies only to short-haired models. Caps with a long nap are luxurious on their own - jewelry will only spoil the impression.
As for summer models for ladies of elegant age, they need to forget about cotton or synthetic panama - they are relevant only for the summer cottage.To look solid and stylish, choose a straw wide-brimmed hat with a monochromatic dull color. It can be decorated with a miniature flower or ribbon.
Speaking of older women (far beyond 50), we note that they look most harmonious in hats. These are the previously mentioned wide-brimmed model and cloche hat. Elegant Breton hat with a soft domed top and curved edges.
Elderly ladies should pay attention to the “slouch” hat with small lowered fields and its version “Fedor” (with a mandatory small edging).
For the age of 50-60 years, a great solution is a hat-tablet (it has no floors). In such a headdress, particularly appropriate for solemn occasions, you will look like a real lady.
The head of the woman will also perfectly decorate the beret: tweed and felt - in cold weather, brocade and velvet in summer (since ladies of this age usually do not go outside with bare head).
Colour
Elegant women are advised to wear only plain hats, and their texture does not matter. Restrained melange colors are acceptable. Bright and colorful options emphasize wrinkles, imperfect skin color, dark circles under the eyes.
Choose pastel, calm colors - it will refresh your complexion, which is especially important at the age of 50-60 years.
Stylists do not recommend black hats to older women; it ages and emphasizes shortcomings. However, if black suits you, wear it.
White color is undesirable with too pale skin - you will get lost on its background.
For older ladies, a green tone is cunning, which can give a face an unhealthy look. The exception is dark-haired green-eyed women.
How to pick up?
Older women need to pick up a hat, focusing on the features of his face. A round face will adjust the volume cap and asymmetric model (for example, the French takes). Also, these ladies fit concise mink hats. Do not wear hats that completely cover the forehead, like a bowler hat.
For a square type of person, pick up a free beret, a classic hat or a hat with earflaps. The massive decor is inappropriate - it will overload the look.
Women with an oval face have a wider choice.
- The choice of headgear, of course, depends on the season. In winter, a woman over forty is especially important that the hat was warm and comfortable.
- With particular care, select the color of the headgear. The wrong shade can add an additional age, the best option is to visually rejuvenate the face, giving it a fresh look.
- Get hats with a minimum amount of jewelry, especially for products made of fur.
What to wear?
Trendy hats made of felt woman 40-60 years old can combine with a coat, raincoat or fur coat of short-haired fur.
The fur hat looks the most harmonious with a sheepskin coat or a winter coat of classic style. If you combine two fur products, they should be the same length of the pile.
As for the knitted hat, an elderly woman can wear it with almost any outerwear. However, the graceful thing of a small knit is best suited for a feminine coat. If you wear a fur coat, choose a hat with a smooth texture.
A woman of elegant age should also get a set of knitted hats and a similar scarf.
Spectacular images
Knitted hat pleasant melange colors complete with a scarf transforms the appearance of an elderly woman, makes the complexion more fresh. Small fields and a neat top of the product are distinguished by a mating pattern - the dome has a more volumetric texture. An elegant knitted flower gives the originality to the headwear. The cap style is in harmony with the shape of the face and the hairstyle of the ladies. It is appropriate in this ensemble look silver earrings with pearls.
An elderly lady in an elegant beret of velvety texture resembles a true English lady who gathered for a solemn reception.A headdress that fits an oval face is shifted to the side, which makes the image more stylish. The whole ensemble is made in black color, but it goes to a woman and doesn’t get old at all. The image is refreshed by a black and white print on the lapel of leather gloves and noble pearl jewelry. The make-up of a woman is bright enough, but at the same time not vulgar.
Overdressed and made-up old women look even worse than our grandmothers at the entrance. There are women dressed modestly but elegantly. I myself can not go to this stage of life. I am 53 and I don’t know how to dress. Until now, I wear jeans, though without frills.
