Honor Your Age

Aging is a fact of life, and there are just some trends, like superhigh minis, breast-flaunting tanks and belly-baring tops ‑- hello! ‑- that are "right" only at a certain age. (Sorry, Madonna.) You don't have to show tons of skin to be sexy and contemporary. Look for cool trends that suit any age, such as a single chunky diamond cuff, an elegant chiffon dress with a nipped-in waist or an up-to-the-minute pair of kitten heels.

One Trend at a Time

"Pick one trend and make it your focus," says New York designer Joanna Baum. If you're wearing a peasant skirt, boots, a wide belt, a chunky wooden necklace and chandelier earrings simultaneously, you might want to reconsider and pare down a bit ‑- they'll just end up canceling each other out, blotting the beauty of their distinctive singularities.
