Style icons over 50 - we learn from them
The minimalist
We all want to be as cool as the 61-year-old New Yorker. Lyn Slater loves the monochrome color world and despite its simplicity, the style icon manages to look rebellious. Thanks to accessories, glasses and haircut. The gray hair shaves it to the undercut shaved, the mushroom-long great falls boldly in the face. If she does not blog, Lyn lectures as a sociology professor at the university. Her aging experience: "Many people say they become more and more invisible as they get older, and I've always had the guts to do so." Her blog Accidental Icon provides great inspiration for the unusual.
We can learn from Lyn Slater: It just takes plain basics in black and white to look cool. Fancy accessories to combine make the look visible: sunglasses, brooches in geometric shapes, button-sized ear clips, interesting black and white patterns, bright pockets. Also important is the game with materials? and the quality of the fabrics. In terms of hairstyles, she has shown us: It may well be something wild. If it matches the type, even a fancy hairstyle does not look silly or out of place.

The eccentric
She shares her Mick Jagger moments with the whole world. The Canadian Melanie is pure joie de vivre, her colorful look inspired. Your blog Bag and a Baret is as exalted as you are? her e-mail address speaks for itself: "actlikeadiva@gmail.com".
We can learn that from Melanie: Just do not be afraid. Combine what the wardrobe has to offer. If you wear daring outfits, you have to present them as a matter of course. Attitude is required! Incidentally, with this method, you can also wonderfully share from last season to new honors? or from the penultimate.

The eternally-young-ones
How does she manage that? Actress Sophie Marceau still looks so young, as if she could turn a third part of "La Boum". The 49-year-old French woman told the "Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin" her beauty secret: "This is hard work, I go to sleep early and seldom go out, I eat all those terribly healthy things, I do a lot of sports, and when I'm three Kilo, I'm in a bad mood. " Uuups, that sounds like a hard prize that Marceau has to pay. But do you really have to be so strict with yourself? No, we find. Because we are so proud of the extra dose of relaxation!
We can learn that from Sophie Marceau: Sports ? Yes. Eating healthy ? Yes. Diet? only if it must be necessarily. Skin care and sunscreen? absolutely. Haircolor ? Cheats us a few years younger!

The beauty expert
She is world famous. 58. And blogs. The former model, the style icon and incarnation of the Parisienne Inès de la Fressange shows everything that inspires her and what she also sells in her Parisian boutique, on her page "La lettre d'Ines". She has just designed her own collection for the label Uniqlo. Her style: reduced basics, a touch of elegance and a large portion of everyday practicality. Your fashion must-have for the summer: white jeans? and cut off at the bottom of the hem. During the day with sandals, in the evening with high heels. You can just wear everything.
We can learn that from Inès de la Fressange: Understatement can be remarkably pretty. Cuts and materials have to be right, fashion does not necessarily have to be expensive. Classic blouses in fresh shades of blue make your eyes sparkle, ballerinas always go, long flower dresses are not only perfect for the market, you can also run them into the restaurant. If the outfit is simple, red lipstick and fingernails are mandatory. A perfect haircut, of course, too.

The icon
Iris Apfel is the oldest fashion icon of New York. She was the first woman to wear jeans in the 1950s. Her huge owl glasses and her colorful style are now known around the world.The 94-year-old, with its succinct name and even brighter style, is pure eccentricity and has become famous for decorating historical sofas, armchairs and curtains from Palm Beach to New England. "Old World Weavers" was the name of the company she ran with her husband. The search for the perfect fabric still haunts her today, it will not be quiet about the style icon.
What we can learn from hershe revealed in an interview with ChroniquesDuVasteMonde Woman, "Style can only have who knows itself well, and getting to know yourself takes time." The biggest mistake a woman can make is to look in the mirror and to herself Uniqueness is hard work, we live in a world of quick gratification, everything is going to go smoothly, only those who succeed in emphasizing their own personality through fashion seem authentic - some achieve this with minimalism, others with pomp and joke Glitter, I love striking jewelry, people worry too much about what others think.
