Fashion at 60: how to dress with style and without giving up trends

Pamela Anderson gave a lesson in self-acceptance and style this week at Paris Fashion Week. She tells in an interview, in which she appears without makeup and radiant in a Victoria Beckham dress, that she is living an important journey towards self-acceptance of her body and her beauty. Dressing beyond 50 and also 60 can seem like a complicated task. However, thanks to references on the catwalk such as Kristen McMenamy (59), Jane Fonda on screen or Helen Mirren (78) as an icon of the red carpet, the idea that fashion can be an ally, or at least a fun way to expression at any age, gains strength.

Following trends or having your own style is not incompatible with one's age and it is precisely them, the famous ones over 60 years old, who demonstrate it every day with their daily outfits.

In fashion it is important to resort to the basics but give them a twist to add style. One of them, the great ally for women over 60, is the American woman. Jane Fonda demonstrates this with this style consisting of a tweed jacket combined with a Gucci belt.

If Greta Gerwig teaches anything in Barbie, it is the importance of self-acceptance beyond superficial beauty. Pink has conquered the wardrobes of half the world, including those of women over 50 years old. The sophisticated Carine Rotefield shows it off in a fresh bomber jacket with black palazzo pants.

The tailored suit is a timeless essential for any wardrobe and 3D flowers have become the perfect accessory this season to mark style. The actress Goldie Hawn shined with her own light when she wore one of them in a striking red and with an exaggerated floral brooch on the lapel.

If there is something that should never be given up, it is color. Bold tones and fun prints are ageless and can always be worn on dresses with sleeves, as supermodel Kristen McMenamy demonstrates.

An essential house for those looking to sophisticate their wardrobe is the Catalan Tot-hom. Beyond its haute couture collection, the brand demonstrates that style is never at odds with fashion and that with a head, anything can be worn, even lace that shows off the skin.
