YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Fashion The best high street shops and outfit ideas for women aged over 30 By Kanika Banwait - March 11, 2022 Many of us have our go-to high street brands that always have at least one thing we want to add to our baskets. But as we get older, it’s only natural for our taste and style to change, which can leave us feeling a bit lost when it comes to clothes shopping. Writer Emma Gannon got it spot-on when she tweeted she felt ‘a bit in between’ in age. ‘I don’t know where to buy my clothes from anymore,’ she started. ‘I no longer want to wear clothes I liked in my twenties, but I am not yet able to embrace the “cool 40 year old” look yet either.’ I don't know where to buy my clothes from anymore. Has anyone written about this feeling – when you feel a bit 'in between' in your thirties? I no longer want to wear clothes I liked in my twenties, but I am not yet able to embrace the 'cool 40 year old' look yet either - Emma Gannon (@emmagannon) March 6, 2022 Emma, we hear you. And so did many other women, who commented on the post reassuring each other that they felt the same. Ultimately, you should wear whatever you feel comfortable and confident in. If you like it, go for it! But if you’re also feeling a bit lost, we thought we’d give you a helping hand and asked YOU’s Fashion Editor Sophie Dearden for her recommendations of shops for women who are aged over 30, and how to style a more mature outfit. This is what she said… ‘With fast fashion slowly but surely taking over the high street, hems are getting shorter, sizes less forgiving and styles more outrageous.
