Ladies, if you are planning a beach vacation or a tropical journey in the next few months and wondering how to look chic and relaxed if you are over 40 in such searing heat, here are some good ideas. But before we start the topic, we need to figure out what to pack for your holidays.
The challenges that women over 40
Women over 40 may face several challenges when it comes to resort wear. These challenges are often related to changes in their bodies, lifestyles, and preferences. Some of the most common challenges are:
A. Comfort
As women age, their bodies undergo several changes, such as a decrease in muscle mass and bone density, hormonal changes, and weight gain. These changes can make it difficult to find clothing that fits well and flatters their body type.
Comfort is key. Women over 40 may be looking for clothing that is breathable, lightweight, and easy to move in. They may also be looking for clothing that is easy to care for and doesn't require a lot of maintenance.
B. Proportion
Choose the appropriate clothes that can flawlessly balance your torso and your legs well. For example, if you are an apple-shaped or pear-shaped figure, you can choose tankini sets or long cover up in case you look dumpy.
While if you have long legs, go for one piece.
Base on the above considerations, these beach ensembles are must-have for a hot tropical/ beach holidays.
C. Style preferences
Women over 40 may have different style preferences than younger women. They may prefer more conservative or modest clothing, or they may be looking for clothing that is comfortable and practical for travel.
1. Loose linen dresses
As one of the natural fibers, linen is comfortable, breathable, skin-friendly, anti-bacterial and can quickly expel the moisture. Moreover, the loose-fitting design is great for air flow, which is helpful to take our heat away easily and won't stick to your sun cream. Thus, the combination of linen and loose silhouette are definitely your beach staple.
2. Cotton beach towel
It won't take up much space and convenient for drying your body and hair after diving or swimming.
3. Beach bag
Great for accessorizing your beach look and adding an extra boho chic. I personally quite like this rattan bag. I love the stars design that is distinguished from other ordinary bags.
4. Other fashion items
Such as maxi dresses, tank top, swimsuits, sunglasses: I have already made a detailed introduction in 10 ideas of what to wear to the beach, I'm not going to add any additional remarks.
After preparing all your resort wear, there are a few tips for packing your suitcase, which shows you the practical methods about how to pack up in a minimum space.
In addition, I'm going to featuring 5 stylish combinations for the woman over 40.
1. White cover up almost goes well with anything and it's also a stylish attire to upgrade your beach look. Crochet design also adds an extra sexy vibe. Opt for the blue one-piece with tropical prints underneath and accessorize with statement sunglasses and a straw tote bag for a beach walk!
2. The vintage maxi dress is always the best idea for a hot summer night. The gorgeous turquoise and black dots is a fantastic mix of elegant and femininity. It makes sense with the same-toned fringed earrings and a pair of black flip flops --you'll find you have an endless option for evening outfits as well as a summer wardrobe staple.
3. Tankini with classic strips is for sure fitting everyone and also gives you a tummy coverage. The sheer oversized shirt dress looks lovely over this tankini—but most importantly, half-length design effectively lengthens your leg lines. Of course, a straw tote and flip flops are very versatile and completes the look successfully.
4. Bermuda shorts (walk shorts) are not only good for tropical vacations but also good for daily wear. They go well with a tank top, blouse, t-shirt, vest, giving us a casual yet modern vibe. If you want a romantic date on the beach, this very reasonable wrap blouse would work well. You can dress it up with a pair of cute wedges and a leather tote, too.
5. A gorgeous printed wrap sarong adds a tropical excitement and also brings a sexy glamour when paring with a bandage one-piece. Finish the look with a straw handbag, fashion sunglasses and white hat- those outfits look fabulous together.
