When you are in your 30s, you are matured enough to know which style of clothes get you compliments and which you need to avoid. At this stage in your life, you also can afford to spend on clothes because you may either be a home maker or working in office. You will have money to spend on your wardrobe. Neatly tailored and sophisticated clothes should be your forte. Colors can range from bright colors to mid tones. The silhouettes can be smart that highlight the good features in your body. Use brocade bags with fancy handles or a nice fancy broach for that glamorous look. Wear your footwear in the form of stilletoes or platform heels. For jewelry, wear an elegant watch and a kada for your other hand. Neck pieces can be simple or avoided if you are wearing long earrings that stand out with your outfit.
