Fashion that flatters rather than flags your age

THERE’S nothing ageist about designing a range of clothing for women in their 60s. Not that these clothes are what all women who have hit their sixth decade want to have hanging in the wardrobe, but it certainly doesn’t tag the range as anyway fuddy duddy or 'grannyish’.
Irish label Bellenisa are very much focused on flattering women and giving them clothing in a range of cuts and styles that showcase their silhouettes. Their latest range succeeds in offering dresses and separates that touch on current trends but more importantly give an instant appearance of being fashionable and elegant.
The label does off-duty dressing just as well as smart dressing with a lovely selection of tailored dresses, jackets and trousers as well as more relaxed fitting tops, soft knits and cool cottons.
There’s nothing you will get as much wear from at this time of year and right on until the end of August as the classic combination of navy and white.
Navy and white is a lot kinder to Irish skin tones than the usual black and white monochrome combination. A few navy and white mix and match items can be teamed with a pop of a strong colour such as pink or red to give new life or pair with beige to keep a neutral look.
Beige and taupe are also good colours for women with more mature skin as they are softer than a flat black or stark white. To cover up on cooler evenings at home or on holidays abroad, pick up one of the smart cropped jackets that work well with dresses or over-embellished t-shirts or tops.
Bellenisa is designed in Ireland and is made in Italy and is rapidly becoming as successful as its sister label Peruzzi.
