There's a misconception in the fashion world that you should dress for your age. Honestly, we just don't agree. Style is a form of self-expression that can be celebrated and embraced at any age or stage. You can explore new trends or even adopt a whole new aesthetic, regardless of your years. At the same time, if you're looking to revamp your wardrobe after years of the same thing, it can be hard to know where to start. To find the six trends that can be worn at any age, I've turned to Julia Roberts, who's been serving up influential styles and iconic looks for well over three decades.
Julia Roberts has long been a fashion icon, since her slew of '90s rom-coms that premiered unforgettable looks that are still re-created today. (Think that white-and-blue dress from Pretty Woman.) But aside from her silver-screen appearances, Roberts has been an influential trendsetter in her own right. Now at 54, she has style that's only getting better.
With each trend that she follows, Roberts always keeps a classic element to ground her looks. So if you're looking to revitalise your wardrobe, here are six trends you can rely on at any age.
1. Sleek Tailoring
Julia Roberts is known to love a great suit. The classic silhouette maintains a timeless feel, allowing you to play with accents to show your personal style.
The ruched waist adds a modern touch.
The matching trousers are really versatile.
A pared-back take on a classic blazer, featuring a wrap-over shape and collarless design.
This timeless shape is modernised with a slit hem.
2. All-in-One
Whether you make like Roberts and opt for a playsuit or prefer a classic jumpsuit, a tailored touch can refine this silhouette for any age.
The knee-skimming length feels fresh.
This is actually a waistcoat jumpsuit and cropped jacket, allowing for various outfit options.
Style with trainers or elevate with boots.
Easily style for day or elevate for evening with heels.
3. Tonal Dressing
If you're looking to inject some colour into your wardrobe while maintaining a grown-up feel, then stick to tonal hues in classic silhouettes.
This magenta hue suits every complexion.
Keep it tonal with this magenta turtleneck.
Keep scrolling for the shoes to finish this look.
4. Heeled Loafers
When breathing new life into classic styles, don't overlook the power of accessories. This pairing of heeled loafers adds an unexpected twist to the look.
This penny-loafer style is so chic.
The tassels are a nice detail.
An investment piece you'll treasure forever.
The block heel will be comfortable all day long.
5. Skirt Co-Ords
We're especially pleased with this trend, as not only do co-ords take the stress out of getting dressed, but they tend to come in comfortable sets that won't feel restrictive. Skirt pairings feel especially current.
Co-ords can be separated for endless styling combinations.
Or style with the matching skirt.
A sophisticated yet comfortable look for everyday.
All this needs is a classic white vest.
6. Maxi Hems
Maxi hemlines are back in business and the perfect trend for pretty much everyone. If you're looking to refresh your wardrobe, longer lengths can add a refined touch to modern styles and balance out a low neckline. You know what we'll be wearing this party season.
For any special occasion in your diary.
An elegant addition to any wardrobe.
A flattering and timeless silhouette.
You'll make plans just to show this off.
