Women over 50 told to ditch style trends to look sophisticated and be 'confident at any age'

This can help ensure you always look good in your 40s, 50s and 60s, according to a renowned figure in luxury fashion and co-founder of Monfrère Steven Dann.

He said: "It’s about curating a wardrobe that features versatile pieces that work best and flatters your body type so you can feel confident at any event or occasion at any age."

While Steven explained fashion has "no age", he said many women will opt for elevated pieces as they get older.

When putting together your wardrobe, the expert advised against ultra-trendy pieces as these are not always flattering and can go out of style quickly.

Instead, he advised looking for "staple" items that are versatile and can be worn year after year.

The expert said: "For a lot of women, your 40s, 50s, and 60s is when elevated fashion might start to become more attainable.

"Regardless of age, if you're at a point in your life that you are building a wardrobe, focus on staples first.

"Dressing well is all about embracing timeless fashion and investing in pieces that reflect your personal style."

Opting for tailored items can be a good place to start when creating a timeless wardrobe.

He said: "Focus on building a wardrobe with a strong foundation of well-tailored essentials like great blazers, trousers, and dresses.
