Is there a dress code for midlife?

In this week’s episode of Midlife No Crisis, we’re asking the big question: what should women wear in their 40s and beyond - and who actually makes the rules?

From short skirts and skinny jeans to wide-leg trousers and jumpsuits, we’re diving into the unspoken fashion “rules” about ageing, style, and whether we’re allowed to show our legs without being accused of “mutton dressed as lamb.”

We talk about:

• Do fashion rules exist after 40?
• Can you wear short skirts in midlife?
• Heels after COVID - are they gone forever?
• The pressure to “dress your age”
• Instagram influencers and midlife style trends
• Why Manchester dresses up and Bristol doesn’t
• Personal shoppers, capsule wardrobes & wardrobe confidence
• Skinny jeans vs wide leg jeans - where do you stand?
• Is comfort the ultimate midlife power move?

This is an honest, funny and very real conversation about confidence, body changes, hormones, and finding your style in midlife without losing yourself.

Because maybe looking good isn’t about being naked at all… maybe it’s about feeling good in what you’re wearing.
