231. Fall/Winter Fashion Over 50: Chic, Not Costume & What Actually Works

🎙️ Fashion Thursdays: Real Women, Real Trends — Fall/Winter 2025–26 You’ll Actually Wear

Host: Diane Gilman

Diane Gilman shares a timeless, ageless, and totally practical take on the newest Fall/Winter 2025–26 trends—what works, what doesn’t, and how women 50+ can make style feel exciting again without chasing fads or fashion gimmicks. From sculpted knits and touchable textures to monochrome chic and the eternal power of leopard print, this episode is everything fashion should be: smart, wearable, and confidence-building.

​​

What You’ll Hear:

• The truth about runway trends vs. real life: how to decode the season’s “it” ideas into flattering, ageless outfits
• What to keep: luxe texture (corduroy, leather, faux suede, fur), neutrals stacked into monochrome layers, graphic argyle, and blazers that mean business
• What to skip: costume-like Western trends, oversized silhouettes that swallow your figure, and fleeting fashion colors meant only to fuel fast retail cycles
• Why texture equals luxury: from “cotton velvet” corduroy to sculpted sweaters, learn how to layer fabric moods that radiate elegance and comfort
• A note on confidence: the hero-piece rule, simplified style layering, and how monochrome dressing flatters, elongates, and modernizes every woman over 50
