We already know that for women, life begins over thirty, and that women feel their best dressed in their mid-30s. Recent research has also shown that women in their forties have a more sophisticated style than the generation below them. For example, almost half of people under the age of 25 have no idea what style suits them.

The new survey revealed that nearly half of women over 45 can tell by looking at a dress whether or not it suits their shape and style. Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman or Carla Bruni, aged between 40 and 45, wear similar shoes, and they increasingly know what suits them and, as a result, are much more elegant than ever. Like them, Helen Mirren and 78-year-old Judi Dench have become style icons at an older age, writes dailymail.co.uk.

On the other hand, one out of four women under the age of 25 shudder even at the thought of buying clothes, while 40 percent of this age group admitted that they have no idea what kind of clothes would look good on them. One in five of the 2,000 British women polled by VoucherCodes.co.uk are so insecure that they won't buy anything without asking at least one friend's opinion first.

“It's really disturbing to see how many women are intimidated by fashion and how many struggle to find their own style. It seems that the stereotype that women love nothing more than shopping is no longer true. Some large online fashion companies have already realized that women's self-confidence goes hand in hand with age, so they have also grouped their offers for customers according to age groups and body shapes on their website. Thanks to this, they don't have to spend hours in stores, but can try on clothes comfortably, standing in front of the mirror at home, says Helen Evans, editor of VoucherCodes.co.uk.

A quarter of people under the age of 45 spend hours in shopping centers hunting for clothes and still return home empty-handed. 76 percent of them claim that they are dissatisfied with their current appearance, and a poorly chosen outfit damages their self-confidence even more. One in four women regularly buys clothes she never wears because she hates the way she looks in them.

“The big problem for women is that they pay a lot of attention to appearance, even though physical appearance is much more important to our partner. As they get older, they approach their own bodies more routinely and learn what pieces look good on them. The presence of a partner and family is often a big help at this changing age. While in our 20s we tend to experiment with different styles, in our forties we are already aware of what we wear and what looks good on us, explains Gayle Brewer, associate professor of psychology at the University of Central Lancashire. in their forties and dressed better than ever.
