2 Welcome to a new edition of 40PlusStyle s trend reports! Are you excited about a new season and new trends? I always am! As long-term readers will know, I think you should be picky when it comes to trends. It s much more important to select clothes that suit your personality, body type and your own personal style. (to discover or fine-tune your personal style, I highly recommend my style course). However, it s also good to add a few current items to your wardrobe each season from those trends that suit you. Trends add an element of excitement and fun to your wardrobe, so don t ignore them altogether. Here are some of the most dominant and interesting trends for this season. Enjoy!

3 Blues Blue is making a comeback. There was plenty of denim but blue was also present in flowing dresses, skirts and jackets. Blue will be a great alternative for black this season. It is usually a much better color to wear for most women than the harsher black.

4 Squares Gingham was particularly strong but designers have been very creative in creating all kinds of other squared looks. Who knew that they look so good with flowers as well?

5 70s Vibe The 70s were a big theme for spring. Lots of bohemian chic looks featuring flowery patterns, fringes and tassels, bell sleeves and flared trousers.

6 Fluid Fit Those who like comfort will love the fluid fit trend. Clothes are not oversized but are bigger than tailored looks. So don t be afraid to add a little slouch to your tops, pants and dresses! Be mindful of creating a good overall silhouette though.

7 Midi Skirts Not everyone s favorite trend but skirts were mostly long on the runway. Midi skirts can work really well so long as you pay attention to proportion. Often you will want a higher fitted top with this look. It also works well if you opt for an asymmetrical hemline.

8 Big Bold Flowers Bold prints make a statement and they are especially good for hot summer nights. I love wearing (bolder) prints on skirts. You still get the fabulous print without overwhelming you too much since you can combine it with a plain white shirt on top.

9 Belted! Belts were used to give the more fluid clothes more structure and a waist definition. Karate and obi belts were used but also simple rope type belts.

10 Shirt Dresses Shirt dresses are both casual and chic and since many come with sleeves, will be so easy to wear!

11 All-over White Not for everyone, but I love the allover white look. It feels so fresh and modern to me. You don t have to stick to the same color white either. Feel free to play with combinations of cream and off white and have fun layering!

12 Asymmetry! Asymmetry is still strong and I have included it in this lineup again since I feel it s such a flattering look for women over 40. It creates great vertical lines and adds more interest to an outfit.

13 Wide Cropped Pants Another trend where creating the right balance within your outfit is of utmost importance. That often means shorter jackets and tops or combine with a long vest as shown at the top left.

14 Flat Shoes Many of you will be happy to know that flat shoes are making a comeback as many designers showed them on the runway. Other shoe trends include gladiators, solid block heels, mules, and booties continue to be strong too.

Have fun playing with and wearing these trends! Remember: Only buy trends that suit your personality and lifestyle. Focus on clothes that flatter your body.
