Flattering Silhouettes Every Woman 40+ Should Try | EP 264

Hey Fashion Besties! 🎉 This week Holly is giving us the ultimate pep talk (and style guide!) about dressing with confidence after 40. And we mean, waaaaayyy over 40! If you’ve ever stood in your closet and wondered if what you’re wearing makes you look chic—or just old—then this episode is for you. For real.  Holly breaks down the silhouettes, outfit formulas, and style myths that every woman over 40 needs to toss aside once and for all. #1 style hack that is never out of style? Confidence.  The truth? It’s not about age—it’s about how you want to feel. And this episode is here to take away any "frumptastic" feelings you may have.    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:   ✔️ The Most Flattering Denim Ever Della Denim Trouser – Available now at www.wearthisnotthat.shop This jean is a game-changer: a slight flare at the hem for length, a subtle built-in control panel at the waist, and back welt pockets that lift and flatter your shape. These jeans fit clients from size 0 to 16, and they look amazing on everyone, believe it or not. The 28” inseam works for petites and the 33" inseam is perfect for the taller beauties. ✔️ High-Waisted Jeans Pep Talk If you’re straight up-and-down or “square” in the middle, high-rise denim creates curves where there are none and defines your waistline. #YYYAAASSS Don’t fear the waist—embrace it! Just when you think you don't need to accentuate your waist, you do.    ✔️ Dresses That Save the Day A-line and midi dresses that skim, not cling, are your secret weapon. And guess what? A new Denim Midi Dress is coming soon to wearthisnothat.shop—perfect with cowboy boots or sneakers for fall! Loving this journey for you.   ✔️ Stop Hiding Those Arms! Skip the sleeves and try a sleeveless blouse or tank that hits right at the shoulder line. It draws the eye up to give you a longer, leaner look. No more arm-shaming...it's so freeing to unchain yourself from thinking you cannot show your arms. Yes. You. Can.   ✔️ Embrace Color & Prints Prints can balance proportions: tops with patterns minimize a fuller bust; patterned skirts can create curves. Back awwwaayy from the black.—step out with confidence in color. Color and pattern are unexpected and breathe life into any look.    Shop the Episode – Featured WTNT Pieces ✨ Della Denim Trouser – Flattering for everybody, so easy to dress up or down. ✨ Della Denim Blazer – Bracelet-length sleeves, structured shoulders, and a tailored waist that makes it the most comfortable blazer you’ll ever own. Pair with the denim trousers, a maxi skirt, bremuda shorts, or over a dress. ✨ Art Ibiza Blouse – A V-neck blouse with subtle draping and a chic silhouette that’s effortless with the mallorca wide-leg silky pants or jeans. ✨ Off-the-Shoulder Drape Neck Top – Elegant and confidence-boosting, perfect for showing off shoulders and collarbones. ✨ Liquid Leather Moto Jacket (now in brown!) – Chic and edgy layering piece that instantly adds polish and structure to any outfit. Great for those who run hot who just need a thinner jacket. ✨ Denim Midi Dress (coming soon!) – Wear it with cowboy boots, cage flats, or sneakers—versatile and flattering for every age.   Holly’s No-Age-Limits Fashion Pep Talk: Fashion is not about hiding—it’s about highlighting your confidence. Every time you get dressed, you have the chance to tell the world who you are. Don't sleep on the power of a great outfit. With these pieces listed above, you'll start embracing silhouettes that make you feel chic, modern, and unstoppable.   💻 Shop Holly’s curated looks now at wearthisnotthat.shop   You’ve got Holly in your back pocket—the best fashion friend you never knew you needed.

Summer Dresses You’ll Love EP | 259

Summer style isn't over yet, fashion besties! In this week’s episode of Wear This Not That, Holly dives headfirst into the dresses of the season—because August may be here, but the summer heat (and summer fashion!) is still going strong.   HOT TIP: Listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts, AND watch us on YouTube! And, check out Holly’s Pinterest Board this week – see more Summer Dresses than you can wear in one summer!   Whether you're running errands, planning a last-minute getaway, or just want to look fab while grabbing groceries, you'll be covered with dresses that are elegant, flattering, and will be the basis of your summer wardrobe from here on out.    From maxi and midi lengths, night dresses, florals, and top colors of the season, let's make sure you've got the styles that will turn heads, in addition to transitioning you seamlessly into early fall. That's smart shopping.      HOLLY’S SUMMER DRESS PICKS: (And yes, she’s done the styling for you. You're welcome.)   The Midi Dress: Style experts and trend setters alike are loving the poplin midi dress this summer. Great for day or night, with a sneaker or a heel, it's chicest one-and-done piece. Look for smocked tops and full skirts to flatter your shape and add movement.   The Night Dress Trend: No, you’re not headed to bed—but it might look like it. Think ruffle collars, floaty fabrics, and a hipster-chic twist. British brand If Only If leads the trend, and yes, it can be styled for the street with sandals and a cardi.   Brands to Shop Now: • Ciao Lucia: Smocked-top, spaghetti strap day dresses from LA—feminine, flowy, and just different enough to stand out. • STAUD: We are loving the Delfina silk dress—lace panel, spaghetti straps, and simplicity of this. Belt it and add a jacket for extra credit.  • Rebecca Taylor: She's back with a vengeance. Don’t sleep on the Priya poplin shirt dress!  • Proenza Schouler White Label: Check out the sleeveless A-line in vibrant cyan. Great fit and a timeless statement. • Ulla Johnson: Known for her bold prints and flattering silhouettes. Inclusive sizing up to 16, and accessories worth your full attention. • Reformation: The Bryson and Maven dresses are both structured and feminine, with gorgeous necklines and shoulder detail that elevate your entire look to make you look long and lean.   From the Wear This Not That Online Shop: • The Odessa Dress: A toile-printed dream. Deep V, easy fit, non-clingy, and flattering for all body types. Perfect with sneakers or a heel. • The Caftan Dress (available in Concrete Jungle and Zebra Print): Statement sleeve, bold prints, and an optional belt for a cinched look. One sold out already—so move fast!   Fit Tips From Holly: • Bigger bust? Try a halter, boat neck, or off-the-shoulder to draw attention upward. • Small on top? Go for a strapless or one-shoulder dress to balance proportions. • Want to emphasize your waist? Look for A-line cuts or use belts strategically. • Skip the slip dress unless you’re totally straight-bodied—it could cling in all the wrong places if you're not careful.      Why Wear This Not? Think of us as the stylist in your back pocket. Every piece Holly recommends (or sells!) is seasonless, ageless, and will put an end to the 'what to wear' epidemic. We take the guesswork out of getting dressed. These are pieces no one else will have. It's curated style that fits your life—and your closet. Holly hand-picks every item for the Wear This Not That online boutique, so you know it’s fabulous, functional, and fashion-forward. Shopping has never been easier—or more stylish.     WHERE TO FIND US: SHOP: www.wearthisnotthat.shop Instagram: @wearthisnot_that YouTube: @WearThisNotThat Pinterest: HollyKatzStyling Listen every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you tune in!
