Why Getting Dressed Feels Harder Now — And How to Make It Easy Again
Years ago, when I was styling, I worked with lots of women older than me. There were some things they said that I didn’t fully get at the time: “I feel invisible.” “I only wear jeans, I can’t imagine wearing anything else.” “I’ve lost my confidence.”
Back then, I could sympathize, but I couldn’t truly relate. Fast forward a few years… and now I do. There are days I feel the same way myself, and that’s exactly what I want to talk about today: why getting dressed can feel tricky as we age, and how to make it simple, enjoyable, and confidence-boosting again.
I share five practical style secrets that have helped me — and countless women I’ve worked with — feel put together every day without spending a fortune or exhausting ourselves:
- Mindset matters. The right outfit is the one that makes you feel good, not perfect. Even a cozy jumper and jeans can feel empowering if you add a little sparkle or a piece of jewelry that makes you smile.
- Dress for your lifestyle. Spend more on everyday essentials that keep you comfortable and happy, rather than splurging only on special events. Think jeans you love, sneakers that feel amazing, or a coat that keeps you warm and dry.
- Know what you love. Style is about knowing what makes you happy, not chasing trends. Pull inspiration from anywhere — interiors, nature, magazines — and prioritize fabrics and fits that feel good against your skin.
- Create simple systems. Organize your wardrobe so your favorites are visible, rotate pieces regularly, and let go of items that no longer spark joy. Even small changes can make getting dressed effortless.
- Find your unique style details. Bow, frill, puff sleeve, gold buttons, a particular color — your personal “signature” can be subtle, but it makes you feel intentional and put together every day.
If you’ve ever felt like your wardrobe is overwhelming or uninspiring, this episode is for you. These small shifts — in mindset, systems, and knowing what you love — can make getting dressed feel joyful again.
You deserve to feel seen, confident, and comfortable in your clothes every single day.
