About 40+ Style
40+Style offers style ideas, how to dress and beauty information for women over 40. My name is Sylvia and I’m a 45 year old Dutch woman, living in Singapore.
My mission is to show that you can look gorgeous and experiment with styles and fashion at any age. Too often we get too worried about our wrinkled face, heavier bodies or loosening skin. Having fun with hair and makeup, fashion and new styles can help to make you look better, but also feel more confident and happy.
Looking good and being stylish is not so much about money, the figure you have or how old you are. It’s about dressing to your strengths, knowing your body type, getting the right clothes and embracing your style.
I hope to help you in your quest to find your own style, dress to your strengths, look fabulous and embrace your age. I believe that if you feel good about yourself and the way you look, you will feel great and so much happier!

Welcome and thanks for your feedback. I look forward to reading your comments!
Hello! I recently found your site and am enjoying it tremendously.
I love the red dress you’re wearing in the picture in the “About” section of your site. Can you tell me more about it?
Thank you!
Thank you for your kind comment. This is a silk dress from Calvin Klein that I bought 1 year ago, so I don’t think it’s in shops anymore….
I am excited to have found your blog! I will be 40 in January, and was starting to wonder if there were any other ladies out there fashion blogging in my age range. Great job, and thanks for helping to represent those of us who aren’t twenty-somethings anymore — We’ve still got it!
Great that you found me. Welcome! I look forward to reading your comments to my posts. Off to check out your blog now…
Thank you for commenting to me – I always appreciate that SO much! I love what you said about wanting to help women to embrace their age and their strengths. I am finding it to be a little bit of an adjustment knowing that I’m about to turn 40 (30 didn’t bother me at all, but I was pregnant when I was 30 so my mind was on the little bundle of love growing inside of me
) Forty is proving to be a tiny bit harder, esp. because I am starting to see some lines cropping up and such. But, I’ve always said that I wanted to age gracefully, and I intend to do my best to follow through. Thank you for blogging; I will be following you as an inspiration – you look just WONDERFUL!

Being over 40 has its challenges but I have found it a very rewarding age as well. In terms of style I feel I have never looked better and I feel much freer to be creative and try new things.
Dear Sylvia, I have stumbled on your website and am delighted. I have stopped working, moved from Australia to NZ with my husband and at 49 now need an entirely different wardrobe for my new (wonderful) casual life while still wanting to look smart and a bit trendy. Thank you for sharing your photos and looks. I’ll look forward to more. Ann
Welcome Ann Marie. Very glad you found me. I look forward to connecting more with you on the site!
I can’t believe my luck in finding you! I was searching for makeup tips for over 40 and found your video and website. This is the website I’ve wanted all along but didn’t even know it. I’ve been poking around the site for an hour and have completely lost track of time. Thank you, Thank you. I’m 45 and a stay home Mom to my one Son. I don’t get out a lot but when I do, I want to look up to date and stylish. So glad you are here.
