Inclusive fashion is all about suiting the masses.

Today we are going to talk you through some of the essential items you should bring into your closet to help you look trendy and stylish in your 40s.

3. Ripped Jeans

Just because you may have a teenager yourself doesn’t mean you can’t wear ripped jeans! The best fashion advice for moms is to make sure you keep the bigger ripped portion of the jeans to your knees. You need the rips to be appropriately placed. Our Mercury relaxed jeans are high-waisted with a stretch, drawstring waist band, and stretchy denim fabric!

5. A Button-Down Shirt

The most simple of clothing items should be a staple for you in your 40s. The button down shirt is a form-fitting piece that will go with anything else in your wardrobe and can make a huge difference to any outfit without breaking the bank. A button down shirt can be worn tied up with jeans; with a pencil skirt for the office, or tucked into shorts for a casual look.

6. A Colorful Kimono

Kimonos are beautiful and sleek, and they instantly elevate any outfit underneath them. As a woman in your 40s, you can style almost any outfit with a neutral Kimono over the top to give some class to your fashion or a colorful Kimono to spice it up. This is ideal for busy working women because it can be simply thrown on on your way out of the door and it will bring your outfit together in seconds.

7. A Fitted Dress

It is important as we grow older that we learn our body type and use this to find clothes that accentuate the natural curves of our body. You can take a quiz online to find your body type and find a dress that accommodates your shape. It will fit perfectly over you and whenever you put it on you will instantly feel as if you can take over the world.

Black, red, pink, blue… it doesn’t matter what color you choose; a fitted jacket always looks classy and smart. You can wear it for a workday or a social gathering paired with jeans or a skirt. Dress up your outfit or wear it as an essential to add some warmth to your body.

10. Neutral Colored Tops with Patterned Bottoms

Pairing a neutral-colored top with some fun patterned bottoms such as these leopard print pants will let you showcase your individuality! Dress them up for lunch with girlfriends or down to run your kids to their afterschool activities. You are sure to stand out from the crown with this trend-setting outfit.
