It's still OK to be sexy
"We need to break the stereotypes that society attaches to women as they get older," says Sapna Palep, co-CEO of luxury lingerie brand Journelle. "When you're in your 40s, you have a better understanding of who you are than ever before, and you should express that boldly." She would know a thing or two about that: Palep's brand is made for women by women, and it's been making wearers feel sexy for years.
Palep encourages women over 40 to embrace sexiness through one of the biggest trends this year: exposed lingerie. "Try wearing your lingerie as outerwear, layered with more tailored pieces to achieve the perfect balance," she suggests. "In your 40s, give yourself permission to live by your own rules—it's time to embrace and express what makes you you!" While you're at it, stop believing these 40 things about yourself after 40.
How can you do this without making a fashion misstep? Don't expose too much. For example, if you opt for a low-cut top and have a hint of lacy black bralette peeking out from underneath it, make sure your skirt is capped at a demure length. On the flip side, if you're looking to rock a mini-skirt, go with a top that isn't too revealing.
