I am having trouble finding spring summer clothes. I love your 1950s inspired dress however, would this would be ok on a middle-aged woman? Help. Linda, Coventry.
I think it is important to remember that middle aged women can still follow the trends without feeling as though they have tried to recapture their youth. Achieving the right look is all about styling, and as a rule of thumb I would always remember two things; choose the right colours and find the perfect fit.
A perfect fit can help hide those problem areas and the Luisa Print 50s Dress has a figure flattering design, drawing in at the waist to create an hourglass silhouette. The print is very on trend for this season but if you didn’t want to brave the pinks you could always opt for a more subtle approach to the 50s trend with a printed full skirt. This season is full of vibrant colours and pastel shades so if you’re looking for a new wardrobe, why not mix it up with a bright summer dress like the Caitlyn print – perfect for a summer occasion.
