Why Style Gets Tricky in Perimenopause (and Beyond)
Style is never static — it evolves as we evolve. Our bodies, our lifestyles, and even our confidence shift through different stages of life. For many women, those shifts become especially noticeable during perimenopause and menopause. Suddenly, the clothes that once felt effortless don’t seem to work the same way anymore.
And it’s not just menopause. Think back to other life changes: having babies, returning to work, changing careers, moving into new social or family roles. Each stage brings changes to our bodies, our energy, and how we want to present ourselves. It’s no wonder wardrobes sometimes feel “out of sync” with the women we are becoming.
Why Style Feels Harder
Body changes – Weight distribution shifts, proportions alter, and favourite pieces might not fit quite like they used to.
Temperature swings – Hot flushes, sensitivity to fabrics, or simply needing comfort without losing style.
Skin & hair shifts – Grey hair, changes in skin tone, or texture can make old favourite colours feel flat.
Confidence wobbles – When nothing seems to fit or flatter, it’s easy to lose trust in your wardrobe.
Lifestyle transitions – Whether it’s career changes, grown-up children, or carving out new priorities, what we need from our clothes evolves too.
The Good News
Style can adapt with you. The key is knowing how to choose colours, fabrics, and shapes that support you through each stage of life. A few smart edits can completely transform how your wardrobe feels — and more importantly, how you feel when you walk into a room.
