More Easy Outfit Formulas for Women Over 40 (That Actually Work)



If your outfit feels... meh
These 3 formulas are going to fix it.

They're simple, seasonless, and guaranteed to make your outfit look more styled, more intentional—and way more you.

Today, we’re moving on to 3 more formulas that bring in a little more fun—
a little more color and personality—but still feel totally wearable.

🥪 Outfit Formula #1: Sandwich Dressing

No, you don’t need mayo for this one. It just means you're repeating the same color at the top and bottom of your outfit, with a different color in the middle—usually pants, a skirt, or a belt.

That top-and-bottom color combo creates balance and symmetry—like a sandwich. The color in the middle is your filling.

💡 Why it works:

It keeps your look visually grounded.
Especially helpful if you're wearing a bold color or trying to pull together pieces that might feel random otherwise.

👗 Who it’s great for:

Women who want a foolproof formula that always feels pulled together—especially if you love neutrals or capsule wardrobes.

🎯 Outfit Formula #2: Color Pop

This one’s similar to Sandwich Dressing in that your base is neutral—but instead of repeating a color, you're adding a bold pop of contrast.

💡 Why it works:

The color draws the eye and adds personality, without feeling overwhelming.

👗 Who it’s great for:

Anyone whose wardrobe feels boring. Or if you love basics, but want to keep things fun and modern.

🧩 Outfit Formula #3: Pattern + Solid

This one is such a classic. One piece has a pattern. The other pieces are solid. This allows the print to shine, and the solid tones bring it all back down to earth.

💡 Why it works:

Too many patterns can feel chaotic. But just one print + clean basics = easy, balanced outfit.

👗 Who it’s great for:

Women who are print-curious… but don’t want to look like a walking wallpaper. Or if you’ve got that one cute patterned top in your closet and you never know how to wear it—this is your answer.


...So let’s recap:

  • Sandwich dressing gives you symmetry

  • Color pop adds intentional contrast

  • Pattern + solid balances bold and basic

All 3 of these work in any season and you can do them with pieces you already own—especially if you add a belt.

👜 In fact, if you’re missing that one standout belt to pull your look together,
you know where to go—ADA Collection has options that work with literally every formula I just showed you.

🎯 So here’s your challenge:
Try one of these formulas this week.
Tag me if you post it—I’d love to see it in action. @adadeferrari @adacollection

And if you're feeling generous… share this with a friend who always says,"I have nothing to wear."

And as always—style with confidence, and don’t forget the belt. 💫
