@dex. The term "age appropriate" is a pet peeve of mine. Although I do (at 69) wear mostly tailored clothes & have since college (preference not age), I also venture into trends once in awhile.
For jeans and tees and sweaters that are more trendy, I go to Chico, The Limited and The Loft. Since I'm a size 2-4 and 5'1", I also shop in the teen/junior sections in dept. stores and discount stores.
Styles? I'm usually in my predictable tailored clothes and save the more trendy things for days when I'm running errands or meeting friends for lunch: skinny jeans, long sweater, leather bomber style jacket, flat ankle boots or ones I can tuck jeans into. The accessories is where I go more trendy w/ necklaces, arm full of bangles or a large cuff and maybe drop earrings instead of my usual studs.
I've found it's better for me to not purchase too many trendy clothing items & instead wear trendy accessories. The trends are out of style in 3 mos. and money was wasted. Same w/ trendy colors. This winter it seems to be burgundy/wine. I may purchase 1 piece..maybe a sweater, but not cashmere or anything expensive.
