By the time women reach the age of 50, we think we know our bodies well.
But in reality, as we grow older, we have to discover new and innovative ways to dress and care for our ever-changing bodies.
As a 50-plus woman, I’ve realized that I can’t dress the same as my former 30-year-old self. Throughout the years, with my work as a stylist and fashion writer, I’ve learned secrets for dressing for my age and habits to follow to look my best.

Get ready, North Texas. Pantyhose are back in fashion, thanks to Britain’s stylish Middleton sisters keeping their gazellelike legs properly covered in front of the world’s flashbulbs.
Yes, we’re talking pantyhose. Not opaque, patterned tights — good, old-fashioned nylons. In reality, pantyhose have always been an essential part of many women’s wardrobes. Many business and professional women have never abandoned hosiery (and neither have their work dress codes). They realize that hose makes their legs and the lower body look better by firming the legs and body while hiding legs’ imperfections. But most of us have gone for the comfort of bare legs in recent years, especially those of us in sweaty Texas.
But don’t let the vision of your mom’s pantyhose scare you away from this very wearable trend.
