Here TV’s favourite stylist Gok Wan exclusively reveals how to make the most of your shape, whatever your age and size..
What are your style solutions for women of different ages and sizes?
There’s only one solution for everyone, which is the fact that you all have the same issues regardless of your age.
How you feel in your 20s is no different to how you feel in your 50s.
All the considerations that come into how you feel about yourself – your body, clothing and overall image – are exactly the same as they were when you were younger but it just means that your body has changed slightly.
You need to get to know it and form a relationship with it.
What’s the secret to looking good in your 60s?
Confidence! Being in love, whether that’s with yourself or someone else.
When Meryl Streep thanked her husband at the Oscars and kissed him before she went on stage to collect her gong, that was the best fashion moment of my entire life – no one looked for a second at her dress.
They looked at how she felt – and that is what clothing is all about. It needs to be the second opinion.
There is a wonderful phrase: I want to grow old gracefully. Having confidence gives you gracefulness.
Do you think there are any age style rules?
No! And I think women who get dictated to in their 60s and 70s that they can’t go into Topshop and buy a top or a jacket drives me nuts.
It’s all about identity and dressing for you and who you are. There’s nothing greater than seeing a fabulous granny in the street dolled up to the nines and wearing a little hat and working a gorgeous handbag and looking sensational.
But attitudes are changing. More women are saying, “I’m celebrating who I am and my uniqueness”.
A mini skirt over 40 is fine – none of us has the right to tell someone they can’t wear one .
To me it’s as bad as someone turning around and saying to someone, “You don’t have the same rights as me because of the colour of your skin”.
It’s a dictatorship.
What basics should every woman have in her wardrobe?
Some really good tailoring. An LBD. A pair of good-fitting trousers depending on your body shape and the shape of the trousers; a good pair of jeans – that’s an essential and we all need one.
A good fitted white shirt and a blazer of some description – either in navy or black depending on your skin tone or hair colour.
What advice would you give to women stuck in an age style rut?
See where you’ve come from and see what you’ve achieved. One of the great things about growing older, I believe, is that I can experience styles which I knew the first time around.
I know what it’s like to do 80s funk, I know what it’s like to do all that 90s grunge Marc Jacobs.
So when that trend comes around, I’ve got a head start. If you’re in your 50s or 60s and you remember the 70s, then you know that fashion era. Go out and enjoy it again. Don’t change your signature style.
Which older women have great style?
Diane Keaton is an incredible dresser – her whole preppy thing works so well – and Helen Mirren always looks phenomenal – so confident and her hourglass silhouette is very sexy.
These actresses dress for their body shape. I also love Judi Dench. She wears an incredibly different uniform to the other two. She’s not flamboyant or outrageous with her silhouette but she’s just as beautiful.
Meryl Streep looked wonderful at the Oscars and Anna Wintour is an incredible dresser – and she’s not in her 20s!
What style tips can you offer so a woman avoids looking like mutton dressed as lamb?
Mutton dressed as lamb, midlife crisis – women are under enough pressure as it is. Let’s take all the pressure out of it.
For most women who have brought up the kids and worked hard all their lives, they finally get to an age where they can feel socially, financially and probably emotionally confident and independent again and then they’re told they’re not allowed to look like this, that they have to dress a certain way and have all their hair cut off. There are no rules.
I say go out there and start celebrating your life and enjoy being a woman.
We know women can’t buy style, but how can women learn style?
My dressing mantra is: Whatever you’re putting on your body, understand why you’re doing it. Whether it’s track pants and a T-shirt, whether it’s a hoodie or the tightest fitting Herve Leger dress.
It doesn’t matter, just understand why you’re wearing those clothes and don’t ever feel you’re being dictated to.
My mum doesn’t dress up. She lives her life in jumpers and jeans and she’s the most beautiful person in the entire world and that’s what it is all about.
