You are going to see lots of inspiring looks that can be worn by 40-year-old women at work and formal events. Scroll down to find out more.
How should I dress in my work at 40?
Break out from your boring everyday essentials and try something fresh and modern. You should brighten up your everyday life by wearing beautiful blouses, dresses, skirts, and pants. Complete these combos with eye-catching accessories and jewelry. Once you know what’s your style, you can easily show off your true personality. I personally like to wear skirts at work, they do make my curves look chic. I tend to style them with classy blazers and printed blouses. This combo makes me look professional but not overdressed. Before making your final choice you should ask yourself if this is something you can wear to work.
What do you wear to a casual business meeting?
When dressing for a casual business meeting, a few go-to items can make you feel professional and unique. These are wide-leg pants, midi pencil skirt made of slight stretch material teamed with a sleeveless blouse completed with a slim structured blazer. Complete this look with kitten-heel pumps.
If we are talking about cold season months, then you can go for cozy knitwear, tailored pants, and booties completed with a statement coat. You can experiment with shapes and proportions by choosing blazers with enlarged shoulders or with asymmetrical hem. You can always go for tailored pants with smart cotton completed with a lightweight silk blouse and heeled pumps. Go for cuts, colors, and lengths that flatter your curves.

Thanks for this post! I am 43 and have an hourglass shape. Can you tell me the best ideas for work casual style? I have my favorite cream-white cardigan and slim pants in black. Are there chances to liven up these clothes?
The thing is, gorgeous as these outfits are, most of these styles don’t address the surprise things that happen after 40. It’s not about the butt, tummy, or heels! Those areas need some leeway. The back just wouldn’t tolerate the heels here. Especially stilettos. No way!
