Who says that senior fashion has to be boring? Just because you are older now, it doesn't mean you can't have fun with what you wear!

One of the many great things about retiring is getting to wear what you want! You don't have to worry anymore about dressing a certain way for work. You can select fabrics and prints that express your unique style.

Keep several basics in the closet so that whatever the occasion, you will always have something that makes you feel comfortable. Having the little black dress is just as important as it was before. You can accessorize as necessary, depending on where you are going.

If you like to stay active and get out walking or jogging, don't just pick a plain gray sweat suit. Choose colors or prints that say who you are! Select shoes that will not only give you the best benefit from your workout, but that will also add a little spice to your ensemble. Fitness shoes these days come in amazingly wide varieties of colors and designs.

Always keep an eye out for the latest in fashion. And don't be afraid to go ahead and get a few of those things too. Be careful not to go 'too young' as it may end up just making you look older. But if all the rage is polka dots, then go out and get yourself some dots!

Of course you also want to try and dress according to your body shape to look your best. The old standbys that you adhered to when you were younger still apply: Vertical stripes are slenderizing, so if you have a few extra pounds you want to hide, go vertical! Horizontal stripes are good for small women as they draw attention to the extremes of your body.

Keeping up with senior fashion is easy and can be fun. You have worked hard for so long. Now it is time to relax and enjoy yourself and your wardrobe!
