5 Small Changes That Make Getting Dressed Feel Easier After 40

Jenna McEnaney 1 min read

One thing I hear all the time from women in their 40s, 50s and 60s: "My closet is full, but I have nothing to wear."

If that's you, you're definitely not alone! And the good news is you don't need a whole new wardrobe. Most of the time, a few small changes in how you approach your closet make the biggest difference.

1. Start with one piece you love

Instead of hunting for "an outfit," pick one piece you're excited to wear and build around it.

2. Have a uniform (or two)

Two or three go-to formulas, like our Effortless Errands formula, take the guesswork out of busy mornings.

3. Fit first

A top that fits you perfectly in a simple color will always feel better than a trendy piece that's not quite right.

4. Edit honestly

If something makes you feel "meh," it can go. Your closet should be full of pieces that make you feel good.

5. Wear the good stuff

Stop saving your favorite pieces for a special occasion. Wear them on a Tuesday!

If you'd like help putting this into practice, that's exactly what a Closet Refresh is for. You can also book a styling session or just come say hi at 1 Old Town Square, Suite 104.

Best,
Jenna

Hi, I'm Jenna

I opened Style Curated in 2023 in the heart of Old Town Square in Fort Collins, with one goal: thoughtfully curated pieces paired with genuine personal styling in a welcoming, intimate space. I hand-select everything in the shop and love helping women build a wardrobe they actually want to wear every day.
