Age is nothing but a number. This basically means it shouldn’t affect some of the things you do. When it comes to age and fashion, there are a few lessons to learn and Mo Abudu is the perfect teacher in this area.

Mo Abudu is one woman whose style is age-appropriate. This 55-year-old media mogul has mastered her body and personal style, and knows what works for her.

From red carpets events, official functions to weddings, Mo’s signature style stays true. So today, we’re taking a few pages from her style book on how to dress for your 50s!

Ignore trends sometimes

Age comes with originality and self-awareness.  At this point in your life, you know what works for you, stick with what has worked over time and keep it fresh with an edge.

Mo Abudu has a stunning collection of feminine dresses that most of us would love to own. She wears them, knows she looks good in them and is confident that the world knows it too.

Experiment 

Your 50s is a good time to try new things. This doesn’t mean following the trend, but stepping outside your comfort zone. Try a fascinator, wear a shimmery fabric, wear something bold. Mo Abudu does this effortlessly with unique fabrics and accessories that puts her on the iconic style radar all the time.

Wear classic colours

In your 50s you’d want to gravitate more towards colours that are elegant and speak to your age. These colours could be white, red and even black. They’ll help you stand out in a confident and assured way that isn’t overbearing.

We can’t count how many times we’ve seen Mo look amazing in a bold white outfit. The colour translates well on her and makes her the centre of attention.
