As we get older, we prioritize comfort above all the rest. That being said, there are always ways to look comfy yet fashionably confident and beautiful. And because this classic piece deserves its own time in the spotlight, we’ve rounded up some of the most stylish women in their 40s, to show you unique ways to style a youthful frock.
1. Macky Fah
We’re starting off with a nice and bright pink frock with airy volume that gives off a youthful and childlike vibe.

2. Aliza Apostol Goco
A puff-sleeved dress that is loose all over is a statement in itself--perfect for those holidays when you want to look festive but more importantly, feel comfortable.

3. Mikka Padua
Mikka Padua opts for a frock that has an alluring touch due to its plunging neckline. Adding accessories like statement earrings, a hat, or a handbag automatically elevates her look.

4. Christine Dychiao
There’s so much to love about this cool girl sihouette made popular by designer Cecilie Bahnsen. We especially love how Christine kept the lofty look grounded with chic and sensible clogs.

5. Amina Aranaz Alunan
Frocks can also be short and cinched at the waist to show a your body’s silhouette.
6. Marga Nograles
Marga Nograles shows off traditional Filipino embroidery by wearing a strapless dress that is elevated because of its monochromatic tiers.
7. Jinkee Pacquiao
Fun and playful patterns on dresses are a lively alternative to the solid colored frocks you already probably own.
8. Ria Prieto
A white and minimalist option makes it an automatic day-to-day piece that is ideal for your lazy WFH days. It’s an elegant number that would be perfect with leather strappy sandals.
9. Karla Estrada
If you want to show off a bare decolletage, a square neckline is a great choice as it shows just the right amount of skin. There’s something to be said for the soft and pretty effect of wearing pale pink all over. Case in point: rose-colored earrings and a Prada sling bag in the same hue give a dressy feel to this daytime frock.
10. Amanda Griffin Jacob
Amanda Griffin Jacob shows a bohemian twist to the piece. The fit is perfect for summer days as it is ethereal and airy. We wouldn’t mind sitting exactly where she is in this photo!
