Greetings and salutations, friends! It is Valentine’s Day! It seems like a fitting time to give my views on how to appear hot and trendy after 50 years old, since today is the day to honor love. Any time I hear a woman say anything like, “That was a long time ago” or “I’m too old for that,” it makes me laugh. Is there a specific age at which we must stop trying to appear attractive?
These are not regulations, and please keep that in mind. These are just some suggestions I’ve made based on what I’ve read and done.
Sex: What Is It?
Just so we’re clear from the get-go, I’m not talking about the kind of blatantly sexualized sexiness you see in movies or explicit TV shows and ads. Actually, I’ll give you the definition of the word if you research it: sexually alluring or fascinating. That should put things in perspective. Desirable, attractive, welcoming, fascinating, captivating, and trendy are just a few adjectives that might describe someone who is sexy. I believe this post will speak to you even if you aren’t interested in being considered attractive, as long as you strive to be your best self.
How to Look Hot in Anything You Wear
To dress sensually and stylishly, one should wear one statement piece, use colors that are both seductive and refined, and play with texture to draw the eye. You might choose coated denim or faux leather pants instead of standard black pants, for instance. A silk blouse would look great with those pants. Compared to wearing nothing but polyester or rayon, that combination is far more appealing, isn’t it?
Take into consideration the amount of flesh that will be visible—not too much! If you’re trying too hard or wearing something excessively short, see-through, or revealing, others might think you’re cheap. Chic and seductive women in their 50s and beyond exude self-assurance through their dress choices. Pick and choose what parts of your body to expose; for example, a shorter skirt with longer sleeves might be a great combination. Why not use taller boots if you go for a little or short skirt? Jodie nailed it with her piece about modestly wearing short skirts.
Vampire Accessory
Clothing is just one part of exuding sexiness and chicness. Additionally, your accessories are important. Simplicity is key when it comes to jewelry; a plethora of ornate pieces might be overdone. Consider accessorizing with a delicate gold chain necklace that draws attention to your décolletage. Instead, you could opt for lengthy, dangling earrings. Your next step is to decide where you want to draw attention with your jewelry.

Fashionable and seductive footwear is also possible. Obviously, a pair of high heels might make you look confident, but if they are excessively high and make it impossible for you to walk, they will have the reverse effect. Choosing shoes with an eye-catching texture, pattern, style, or color will undoubtedly draw attention to your ankles, which may be a really alluring part of your body.

If you want to seem sultry and stylish, all it takes is the perfect purse. The epitome of style is a well-made, appropriately sized bag! Be careful not to miss this crucial element if you have gone to such lengths to coordinate the perfect attire, shoes, and jewelry.
A little purse that doubles as a crossbody is more my style than a large, cumbersome tote. Some of my favorites are listed below:

Keep These in Mind
Makeup, hair, and fragrance are all important details to consider. Long hair isn’t actually attractive, despite popular belief. Attractiveness is enhanced when your hairstyle complements your personality and boosts your self-esteem. Consider trying a smokey, smoldering eye, a red lip, and red nails as your makeup look. Stop trying to pull off both the smoky eye and the red lip at the same time. Searching Google for “sexy and chic makeup for women over 50” led me to this incredibly well-executed makeup look.
What about cologne? When you go on a date, do you always wear the same one? You know, like, when you really want to be in the zone? For the most part, I stick to wearing Viva La Juicy, my favorite perfume. I’m always game to try something new, even if I’ve been rocking this look for years.
First-Held Background
I had a lot of trouble with this as a young woman because of my huge breasts. It seems like my objectification persisted regardless of my attire. It looked like guys stared and women gave me judgmental or jealous stares. The scrutiny was something I detested. I wore huge, baggy clothes and maintained an awful posture in an effort to hide my breasts.
It didn’t help that we were all rocking the same over-the-top 80s hairstyles and cosmetics. I went in the opposite direction of my schoolmates’ preppy polos since I couldn’t like how they looked on my large bust. I dressed like Madonna and let my wild side shine. Unfortunately, people were still passing judgment on me. I was considered an airhead instead of intelligent. People rarely wait to form opinions about you after they’ve had a chance to get to know you. Rebuilding my self-esteem and regaining my confidence took a long time. Also, getting a breast reduction while I was a student helped a lot.
We shouldn’t stifle our individuality because we’re a specific age. Never allow age or societal norms to stand in the way of your pursuit of sexiness and chicness. We are all unique, so it’s natural that this will appear differently to us. However, my sincere wish is that you will discover something beneficial by considering the suggestions I have made.
