Looking effortlessly stylish in a little dress in your 60s can seem to be daunting. But fret no more because here are 10 mini dress style ideas by which you can wear your mini dress with élan. Just remember that it is not just about the dress but also about matching it with the right accessories and also about dressing according to the occasion.
If it is a summer and you are off for a weekend brunch with your women friends then wear a light pastel coloured dress. For a winter brunch, make the colour of the dress deeper and wear it along with a shrug or a scarf. A jacket also goes well with mini dresses. Don’t make the fit of the dress too tight. Rather, at this age, wear a simple A-line dress. You could wear it with a belt if you still have the figure to show off. Pair it with a non-blingy clutch, gold studs, and flat sandals. Don’t make the shoes and the clutch the same colour as your dress but contrast it.

You can try a half sleeve embroidered swing dress by Miusol Women’s. This is vintage and it never goes out of style. Wear gladiator sandals with this. Don’t forget the handbag that is large enough to hold all your essentials. For jewellery, a pair of small earrings or some bangles is enough.
