Another way to style your dresses – pair with leggings or jeans.
When in doubt, go for the monochrome look.
By teaming the grey poncho and white jeans together, it just unites the body frame in a similar shape and elongates your figure visually.
For a sophisticated yet womanly look, a one-shoulder poncho is such a gem.
Kind of classy sassy and perfect for mature ladies!
A floral printed dress, black leggings just look effortlessly perfect together.
Not over the top but definitely make a statement “I’m stylish and I ROCK it”.
Of course, depends on the style, teaming your shirt dress with contrasting shade work as well.
This outfit is screaming the elegant resort vibes with the clay shrit dress and white pants.
PRO TIP:
To look sleek in this combo, go for the tight jeans rather than the flared jeans.
The latter will make you look shorter visually.
3. Floral dresses as a safe bet
Of course, how can be miss the floral dresses – it’s universally flattering.
To look forgiving in patterns and prints, take note to avoid the oversized or large prints as that tends to exaggerate your figure even more.
Instead, go for the delicate floral prints for a feminine and flattering look.
Together with the nude heels, this is how you elongate your legs even more.
For an affordable choice, I’m loving this floral dress from Amazon down below.

The stylish inverted hemline (Again, leg-elongating) and adjustable waistband is just everything.
That said, if you adore big prints, I’d say embrace it!
All you have to find the right cutting and you’ll be fine.
A sleek V-neck can definitely balance out the boldness of the prints and perhaps a nice belt can help as well!
4. A high quality shirt dress
At this age, we never want to sacrifice our comfort in any circumstances and that’s why a shirt dress is always the gem.
Made from lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen, they are incredibly comfortable and perfect for summer days.
PRO TIP:
To look low-key chic, unbutton the shirt and widen the neckline like the lady in the photo above.
Together with the sunnies and belt, this is how you look womanly and put together.
If you are feeling extra experimental, go for the patterned shirt dress as a mood booster!
There’s literally no age limit to style. If you feel like wearing the high heels, rock them!
More often than not, it’s the attitude that truly matters.
