The fashion rulebook? Rip it up, says British style guru


and TV personality Trinny Woodall. In her ultimate


guide to ageless dressing, she tells how to look great


and feel amazing every single day


I’ve been doing makeovers for 30 years, but I’m still surprised when I hear women
tell me that they can’t wear certain styles, colours or fabrics after the age of 50. I’m
here to tell you to rip up that old-fashioned rulebook.
Fashion no longer has age limits – teenagers and their grandmothers wear the
same pieces from the same stores, just styled in different ways. Today it’s about
embracing ageless dressing: choosing clothes that  atter in sophisticated fabrics,
knowing your body shape and what colours suit you best. It’s also about still daring
to take risks. You don’t have to look conservative just because you’re in your 60s, 70s
and beyond, and you can – and should! – still shine at any age.
For decades I was led by style rules, but more recently I’ve followed one mantra
when it comes to clothes: ‘Does it make me happy?’ If you feel happy in what you’re
wearing, you’ll radiate happiness to those around you and that’s what dressing
should be about. On the following pages, I’ve shared my favourite out ts for spring
and summer; they’ve brought me that sense of happiness and I hope they’ll do the
same for you. »
