17 Life-Changing Pieces Every Over-40 Woman Should Have In Their Warm-Weather Wardrobe
We might even venture to call it a “capsule wardrobe.”
by The Candidly Team
Spring is full of pretty clothes. And that’s all well and good apart from the fact that we’re adults now, and we don’t just need our clothes to be pretty.
We need clothes that fit us extraordinarily well. Clothes that feel like joyful little solutions to getting dressed every - single - day.
Skirts that flatter our waists. Sandals with arch support. Tops we can wear a bra with. Bras that don’t feel like sweaty torture chambers.
We found 16 pieces that work miracles for us, as over 40-women who need more from our clothes than to just look good on a hanger. Or a 6-ft tall model.
Owning these things made us feel 87% more confident about heading into the season. And they made us look 92% better.
You could question our math. Or you could just take a look for yourself.
That said, if you buy them in black, you’ll have yourself the best work/ going out/ everyday pant in your closet.
Price: $130
Throw it on over skirts, dresses, shorts, and any pair of pants, and you will look more put-together.

Our feelings about this shoe left us with no choice but to write an entire (unsponsored) tribute to them, which you can find HERE. Reads a little like a Shakespearean sonnet. What can we say? We’re that in love.

The light, chiffon pleating hangs beautifully, but the fact that it has an elastic waistband even though it’s a “dressier” skirt is what outright tipped this one into perfection territory.

It gives you such a nice silhouette without requiring a single piece of shapewear you can’t wait to rip from your skin. It’s not cheap, but the cost-per-wear is very low once you account for the hours/ money it saves you having to pick out yet another event dress you wear only once.
Price: $269
