Fashion essentials for women over 40

New York: Women in their forties can invest in a chic and expensive handbag or opt for leather gloves to look age-appropriate.

Here’s a list of fashion items that should be in every 40-year-old`s closet, reports huffingtonpost.com:

- A nice handbag: Spoil yourself and buy an expensive handbag that is hard to justify. You earned it.

- An evening coat: A coat that looks appropriate with a fancy dress and heels should be in your closet for sure.

- Diamonds: They don`t need to be huge, but something that can sparkle your day.

- Leather gloves: They always look more polished and professional than a knit pair. Also, they don`t get pulls. So, they won`t need to be replaced frequently.

- A variety of slips: Make sure you have slips of all different lengths to go underneath your sheer clothes.

- A lounging robe: Robes made of silk and jersey can be worn while you are at home.

- A checkbook-sized wallet: The older we get, the more cards we end up collecting. A small purse just won`t do it.
