Hello Gorgeous!
One of the things I hear most from midlife women is that they want to look fashionable without looking like they are trying too hard. With this in mind, we are starting a new series called, “Simplify My Style”. In Part I, we discuss why you should opt for clean lines and simple silhouettes in order to achieve classic, effortless style. Read on if you are a women over 40, women over 50, women over 60, women over 70, or women over 80!
Opting for clean lines and simple silhouettes can be a game-changer when it comes to simplifying your style. Not only does this approach make getting dressed in the morning a breeze, but it also creates a timeless and elegant look that can easily transition from day to night.
What does “clean lines” mean in fashion?
Clean lines in fashion refer to simple, uncluttered silhouettes that are sleek and minimalistic. This style is characterized by sharp, well-defined shapes and cuts that create a polished and refined look. Clean lines may involve straight edges, crisp tailoring, and geometric shapes that emphasize simplicity and sophistication. This aesthetic is often associated with timeless elegance and modern chic, making it a popular choice for those who prefer a more understated and timeless approach to dressing.
What does “simple silhouettes” mean in fashion?
Simple silhouettes refer to clothing designs that have a clean, uncomplicated shape with minimal embellishments or details. This style focuses on the basic structure and form of the garment, creating a sleek and minimalist look. Simple silhouettes are often timeless and versatile, making them easy to mix and match with different pieces in a wardrobe.
Why choose clean lines and simple silhouettes?
One of the key benefits of choosing clean lines and simple silhouettes is that they can help streamline your wardrobe. By focusing on classic pieces that are well-fitted and versatile, you can create a capsule wardrobe that is both functional and chic. Think of pieces like a tailored blazer, a crisp white button-down shirt, a well-fitting pair of trousers, and a classic little black dress. These staples can be mixed and matched to create a variety of different looks without cluttering your closet with unnecessary items.
Another advantage of opting for clean lines and simple silhouettes is that they are incredibly flattering on a variety of body types. By choosing pieces that skim the body rather than cling to it, you can create a sleek and polished look that highlights your best features. Additionally, clean lines can help create the illusion of a longer and leaner silhouette, making you appear taller and more slender.
Can I still wear accessories when simplifying my style?
When it comes to accessories, less is often more when embracing clean lines and simple silhouettes. Opt for minimalistic jewelry, such as a pair of stud earrings or a simple pendant necklace, to complement your outfit without overpowering it. A classic tote bag or structured clutch can add a touch of sophistication without detracting from the overall simplicity of your look.
Summing It Up…
In conclusion, simplifying your style by opting for clean lines and simple silhouettes can be a game-changer for midlife women looking to streamline their wardrobe and create a timeless and elegant look. By focusing on classic pieces that are well-fitted and versatile, you can create a chic and polished wardrobe that is both flattering and functional. So why not give it a try and see how clean lines can transform your style?
Around here, our goal is to create a classic and timeless wardrobe for women over 40, women over 50, women over 60, women over 70, AND women over 80…starting with what is already hanging in our closet. opting for clean lines and simple silhouettes will create will curate a classic style wardrobe… and get you off that fashion hamster wheel of chasing trends year after year.

Love the slate grey color option in travelers. Wish they would offer a camel color too
They offered a beige color earlier this year, and it was horrible. Completely see-through!
LOVE that adorable blue sheath dress! I thought of you today when I went to Loft. Just say no to prints, monochromatic outfits and classic styles to mix and match with items currently in my closet. You are helping me dress like a chic adult woman instead of wearing jeans and t-shirts all of the time.
I totally love hearing this. Thank you for trusting me!
