Modern day celebrities such as Judi Dench, Sean Connery and Diane Keaton prove that it is possible to look very attractive in a way that's appropriate to their age. They know what suits them and how to remain stunning, without losing any of their class. Take some inspiration from them for an instant shot of glamour.

Keep it simple

Clean-cut, tailored clothes will enhance one's figure and be more flattering than anything too fussy. Avoid baggy, shapeless styles that hide feminine curves.

Shun the beige brigade

Whilst beige can be a useful base to team with other colours, don't be tempted to disappear into it from head to toe. Red is a very appealing colour, as long as the right shade is chosen according to skin tone – for those with grey or white hair a cool blue-red will be the most flattering. Experiment using red on a small scale, just try a necklace or bracelet to start with, or a striped shirt for men.

Diane Keaton: Still Glamorous

Optical illusions

The art of successful dressing at any age is to draw the observer's eye towards the body's best features – therefore away from our least favourite areas. Clever use of accessories can achieve this in an instant.

Be proud

Remember everybody is different and unique, so avoid the trap of comparing oneself to other, younger people. Individuals in their 60's and 70's have a wealth of life experience that younger people don't yet have – the resulting confidence can be glamorous, attractive and very appealing!
