Timeless Style: What to Wear Over 50: Dressing Well for the Rest of Your Life

by Anna Harvey

Vogue 's Anna Harvey was a style advisor to Princess Diana—now she advises post-50 women on attaining perfectly chic, classic style

For the high-spending, full-living baby boomer generation, dressing well is as important as ever—after all, if 50 is the new 30, then 60 is the new 40. But, much as the baby boomers might wish to avoid the facts, different ages bring different dressing conundrums. No one wants to be thought of mutton dressed as lamb, but neither do they want to look like mutton dressed as more mutton. The good news is that it is possible to be well-dressed, stylish, and happy. This guide will show how, and its author, Vogue ’s Anna Harvey, will be the perfect guide. She is direct, helpful, sympathetic, and positive. She covers such essentials as what to wear to suit your shape, how to disguise the areas you don’t like and show off the areas you do, what to spend money on and what to save money on, and much more. This reassuring, stylish guide will have you longing to go shopping again.

Prettily done and good advice, I think, only I'm not quite the target group. Perhaps 15-20 years from now?
Enough time anyway for a good editor to weed out the typos.

I really liked this book. Anna outlines the do and don't of dressing in a classic way. It is a pretty in depth book, in that she covers everything from dressing, handbags, shoes and accessories. The only drawback in that the illustrations were pencil drawings and not photograph of models. I think that if the book included real life models of all shapes and sizes I would have given it all 5 stars.

Cute illustrations and clear writing, but nothing new here: wear lower heels, invest in shapewear, navy can be more flattering than black.
