“Dress your age,” they say. If you’re a woman in your 40s, that means dressing ultra-chic, classy and sassy — hooray! The term “dressing your age” can have a negative connotation, but we’re here to change that. Anyone at any age can wear what they please so long as they wear it with confidence!
But if you want a fail-proof way to look and feel your best, choosing the right top is key. The right top balances sweet and sultry, playful and refined. It’s a tough balance to strike, but the right tops manage to do it eloquently. What an art!
Tops can either flood, squeeze or flatter your body and if it isn’t obvious already, you want the latter. Flattering tops can cost hundreds at stores across the web, but some of the most trendy flattering tops we’ve seen are on Amazon. Instead of shelling out half of your paycheck for a semi-flattering top, check out these 21 comfy and elegant Amazon finds! You’ll thank Us later.
