In our culture, we tend to orient our perspective around the value of youth. Of course, celebrating Wonderful people when they’re young is absolutely a healthy practice, but it shouldn’t be the whole story. You can look just as good, and in many cases even better, when we hit middle age and beyond. There’s a reason for this. It’s because we tend to become more “ourselves” as we age, as we know what we want, as our tastes develop and our sense of self is more prominent. It’s been said that Gen Z is frightened of aging, and so we hope to help them take a different view.

All of those things – confidence, surety, and self-belief are fantastic for Fashion and Beauty. It also shows that no matter who you are, where you are in life or the arbitrary number of years you’ve lived – you deserve to feel your best and to get out there when expressing it.

Age is wonderful for fashion and beauty. Let’s consider a few reasons why, and gently counter the narrative that only those in their twenties have any right to strut their stuff:

Fashions & Tastes Change

The most interesting principle about fashion is its novelty. That’s why seasonal fashions, trends, and eras come and go. It’s why many people now look to the eighties as a time of wonderful fashion, whereas in the early 2000s, it was considered old hat and too retro. Fashions and tastes change and develop over time, constantly informed by what came before. This is very much like our own lives, where we learn from the person we used to be, make better choices, and express ourselves anew. There’s no reason why you can’t make a major change in your later years, and have fun doing so.

Treatments & Alterations Can Be Fun & Healthy

Within appropriate reason, of course, there’s no shame in changing your look or opting for a style a little more than “natural” as it were. That’s why we like to dye our hair, why some people wear makeup, and why we change the fit of our clothes as our bodies change shape with age. 

As long as you do it for the right reasons, there’s a great deal of fun, self-confidence, and care to be had in the smaller implements such as REJUV Aesthetics & Wellness microneedling, having your back massaged for knots so you can stand with better posture, or enjoying clothes that help us look a little better, like wearing heels for a formal date. It’s fun to enjoy a little self-care or to invest in our style and look, so don’t feel like this is unhelpful at an arbitrary age, it isn’t.

There’s Nothing Better Than Beauty & Wisdom

“Youth is wasted on the young” is a common retort which does have a nugget of truth in it, that being when we’re teens or in our twenties we tend to have a blinkered view of the world and don’t know ourselves too well yet. As we get older, we become much wiser and more experienced, and if you pair that with beauty and self-belief, well, that makes for a formidable combination. Sometimes, that’s all you need to feel like you could achieve anything, and it also makes beauty a nice compliment to your self-worth, as opposed to what you build your sense of self from.

With this insight, we hope you can see how aging is wonderful for fashion and beauty.
