I keep telling my clients that as you grow older make not only life but your look clean and simple. Wear classics, changing the color with fashion but staying within the palette as to what looks good on you and goes with the rest of your closet. Keep " bling" or "out there looks to accessories, that way you have a closet that has exactly what looks good on you and you alone, but you can up the fashion factor with your accessories.
I love the book "Parisian Chic" by Ines de la Fressange. She is so classic in her look she just changes things up with color and accessories. Here is what I am talking about, see what little effort she uses to make herself look current and yet you know who she is.
Look at these shoes, do they rock or what? Come on someone buys these and then show up dancing in them. Below that is a new way to think about pocket squares for your jacket. Love the bandanna look if they are too bulky you can always cut them down. Hey, they are not that expensive.
Thank you GQ.com for these photos. I love these shoes.

Pocket squares anyone?
Want to show up for that date looking amazing. Even if you married you should raise the bar once in awhile so let's try some fun stuff with some great color to it,
These Pierre Hardy shoes are amazing and pretty darn sexy too.
I love the center one especially. Just incorporate one of these items in your wardrobe and it's a sure winner.
Men's fashion often coincide with women's fashions, so for men the same thing is happening. COLOR. For men of a certain age this is good. We all lose the color in our skin as we age so to replace that we need to put some color in our lives with our clothes. We all want to stand out to some degree and this is a great way to say "Hey, I really like myself, I think I am important enough to get that table over there at your restaurant." Use color to your advantage, use it to get attention.
I just saw Issac Mizrahi on "Good Morning America" this morning. Of course he's all for color he always has been, but after seeing him I went to Style.com, and looked at the Spring 2012 Fashion Shows,(not all of them or I would still be there). Color seems to be just about eveerywhere, especially with those designers that know how to use it. The other trend is large floral prints or floral prints in general, and a lot of prints on prints. Dries Van Noten used a lot of photography with colors on the fabrics. I love how playful and fun the clothes are. Here are a few of my favorites. Remember no matter what the trend, always chose that which is most flattering to you.
Bottega Veneta
Giambattista Vali
Dries Van Noten
