If You’re in Your 20s
Two words: Crop. Top. Your twenties are the time to show a little skin. Get the look by rocking sporty joggers and balancing them out with a midriff-baring top. Add on-trend snakeskin pumps and a mini bag for a little extra edge.

If You’re in Your 30s
You finally have your life together. Meaning your closet should follow suit now that you’re a perfectly polished professional. Start by working ladylike shift dresses into the rotation and adding statement coats to your weekday wardrobe. Your next investment piece? Black designer pumps that look great in both boardroom and barroom.

If You’re in Your 40s
It’s time to up the ante. Next-level fabrics like a luxe tweed in a power-red hue let the world know you’re all business. A structured tote in a neutral cognac is a staple in your round-the-clock hustle.

If You’re in Your 50s
Ladies, let’s have some fun. Ditch the skirt suit for something more you, like tailored separates in an allover print. Then mix and match your tried-and-true accessories – think things like a satin evening clutch and a pop-of-color pump.

If You’re in Your 60s
At this point, you know what works. You are cool, classic, and confident. And your go-to look (designer denim plus a silk blouse) says exactly that. Simply toss on a chic wool coat and luxe pumps to pull it all together. Over and out.

If You’re in Your 70s
If you’re in your seventies and beyond, you know all about timeless style. Be the full-on glamour girl you are by owning your look, especially for special occasions. A flawless fit, and the right color (like a cool champagne in shimmering sequins) will do wonders for your big-night look. Play it up with over-the top accessories like a statement earring and by layering on the bling.
