* Color of maturity

The designer addressed colors and it’s irrelevant to the age, especially, as women grew older.

‘Colors always reflect the psychology of personality and mood, but in general, age has a quality of colors, which of course is the darker colors, but in the end, it is not a rule, as there is personal freedom in choosing colors,’ he added.

* Trousers or Skirt

Often, women who turn 40 contemplates if they should leave the trouser behind and rely only on the skirt, and dress.

However, Baraka noted it all depends on the body and its shape, noting that the trousers can suit some people more than the skirt, and vice versa.

He noted that elegance at any age depends on knowledge and understanding of the body as well as what suits it.

‘There are no pieces of clothing that can be forgoed, or pieces more important than other, each piece completes one another,’ Baraka added.

* Jeans secrets

Jeans remain a symbol of easy-to-practical wear, so should women rely on it or avoid it at an older age.

The designer noted that jeans are one of the wardrobe essentials for people of any age, adding that people can choose more comfortable or more spacious cuts, which is due to the nature of each body.
