As I approach the big four-oh, I’ve been reflecting on my style and what I want to add to my wardrobe. Here’s my Almost-Forty Sartorial Wishlist – a collection of key pieces that I’m eyeing as I enter this new chapter in my life.
- Timeless Tailoring: A well-fitting suit is a must-have for any age. I’m on the hunt for a classic black or navy suit that can be dressed up or down. It’s time to invest in quality and craftsmanship that will stand the test of time.
- Neutral Knits: Comfort is key, especially as I get older. Soft, luxurious knitwear in neutral tones like cream, beige, and grey will become my go-to for layering. From oversized sweaters to fine knit cardigans, I want to feel cozy and chic.
- Statement Dresses: I still want to have fun with my fashion! A few bold, statement dresses in unique prints or fabrics will add a touch of personality to my closet. Whether it’s a maxi dress for special occasions or a midi dress for everyday wear, I’m looking for pieces that make a statement.
- Leather Jacket: A leather jacket is a classic that never goes out of style. I’m dreaming of a buttery soft leather jacket in a classic black or brown that can be thrown on with anything from jeans to a dress.
- Quality Footwear: Good shoes take you places, right? I’m looking to upgrade my footwear collection with a pair of classic leather boots, a pair of comfortable sneakers, and a few pairs of stylish heels that can be worn for both work and play.
- Accessories: Jewellery and accessories can elevate any outfit. I’m adding a few timeless pieces like a delicate gold necklace, a pair of oversized sunglasses, and a classic leather handbag to my wishlist.
- activewear: As I focus more on my health and wellness, a stylish activewear collection is a must. I want comfortable and functional pieces that I can wear to the gym or for outdoor adventures.
- Classic White Shirt: A crisp white shirt is a wardrobe staple that can be styled in countless ways. From tucked into jeans for a casual look to paired with a suit for a more polished ensemble, it’s a versatile piece that I can’t live without.
- Printed Trousers: I’m embracing the printed trouser trend this year. From bold florals to geometric patterns, printed trousers add a fun and unexpected element to an outfit.
- Well-Fitting Jeans: A good pair of jeans is hard to find, but worth the search. I’m looking for a pair that fits like a glove, flatters my figure, and can be dressed up or down.
As I approach forty, I want my style to reflect my confidence, maturity, and individuality. This sartorial wishlist is a mix of classic pieces and on-trend accents that will allow me to express myself and feel great in what I wear. Here’s to a stylish and fabulous almost-forty!
