Style mission
Our mission is to show you that you can look gorgeous and experiment with style and fashion at any age. It’s all about having fun with style and fashion!
Looking good and being stylish is not so much about money, the figure you have or how old you are. It’s about knowing and embracing your unique style.
I'd love to help you in your quest to find your own style, dress to your strengths, look fabulous and embrace your age.
Hi I’m Sylvia
I’m a stylist, color expert and the editor in chief of 40+style.
I started this site in 2011 as friends (and even strangers) were always asking my style advice. Having studied styling, color & design, I help women feel more confident with their own style.
The site struck a nerve and has helped millions of women embrace their unique style.
Looking and feeling good is not just superficial. It helps you feel more confident and more ready to tap into your fullest potential.
When I’m not producing inspiration and article for this site, I’m most likely playing beach volley, traveling to new and exciting places or read a good book!
