Okay, we know this is a cliche but hear us out – age really is just a number (especially when you look as chic as some of our fave celebs). From your 20s to your 70s and beyond, we’re showing you how to own your look, no matter what the calendar says.

For Your 20s
The sky’s the limit – for your future and your closet. Embrace bold patterns and bright hues, like a loud daisy-print coat and matching sunshine-yellow pumps. The key to rocking such strong prints and colors? Balance them with classic light-wash denim.

For Your 30s
You’ve got things (mostly) figured out, and you’ve learned what works for you. Work-to-weekend looks are your jam, so pack your closet with classics like leather leggings, tried-and-true jeans, casual – but cool – off-duty separates, and chic go-to’s for all those RSVPs.

For Your 40s
Learning to embrace luxury has become your M.O., and you’re gravitating more toward clean, polished, and elevated. Tailored but feminine, modern but modest, rich fabrics like suede and silk, midi dresses, bright colors, and luxe accessories.

For Your 50s
Hellooooo, confidence. You’ve got plenty, and you earned it. Go for the bold and rock your fifth decade in designer duds, metallics and animal prints, tailored trousers, and a few eccentric details. It’s never too late to stand out.

For Your 60s
By now, you know how to look good without even trying. If you’re feeling ladylike, go for pretty dresses that just edge on flirty, polished separates, pearls, and low-key luxe accessories. More casual? Try dark denim, cashmere sweaters, comfy sneakers, and oversized sunnies.

For Your 70s & Beyond
How do you do it? Embrace your wisdom and experience and channel it into making getting dressed an event. It doesn’t get chicer than a white suit, especially when you jazz it up with statement accessories and unique prints. (A little lip gloss never hurt anyone, either.)
