Styling Matters with Lizzi Richardson

What does style really mean after 40, when we’re no longer interested in keeping up with trends or endlessly consuming fashion?In this episode, I revisit some of the “ageless style rules” I once wrote about and explore how they feel different now through a midlife lens.This isn’t about dressing younger, following trends, or reinventing yourself. It’s a conversation about how style evolves as we evolve; through changing bodies, shifting identities, growing confidence, and a deeper understanding of what actually feels right for our lives now.We talk about:style after 40 and 50confidence and visibility in midlifedressing for changing body shape and proportionswhy good foundations still mattermodern denim and real-life dressinglayering, accessories, and colour without overwhelmsimplifying wardrobes and shopping more intentionallythe difference between style and performancefinding ease, clarity, and self-trust in the way we dressThis episode is for women who are tired of trend pressure, overwhelmed by fashion noise, and looking for a calmer, more intelligent approach to personal style in midlife.If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your wardrobe or simply from yourself - this conversation may help you reconnect with what style can look like now.Thank you for listening.If this episode resonated with you, you can continue the conversation over on Substack, where I share more reflections on style, midlife, confidence, and getting dressed in the real world.And if you enjoyed this episode, following the podcast really does help other women find these conversations too.I’ll see you next time.Styling Matters on SubstackLizzi Richardson on Instagram at @lizzi.richardson

In this episode, I’m sharing the things I refuse to do as a woman who loves fashion and personal style.There are so many unspoken rules around style — what we should wear, how often we should buy clothes, and how much we’re “allowed” to enjoy getting dressed. But personal style should feel expressive, fun, and completely your own.In this conversation, I talk about why I refuse to:Let anyone tell me what I can and can’t wearJustify every fashion purchaseWorry about how many times I get changed in a dayGatekeep where my clothes are fromDress the same as my friendsHold back on complimenting other womenFeel pressure to always be in “stylish mode”This episode is about letting go of style rules, dressing for yourself, and enjoying fashion without apology.Discover cabi Clothings SS26 collectionFor an easy jean shop online or if you love the sound of the Snaphot jacket that I have not stopped wearing, then be sure to check out the Spring/Summer collection with cabi!

In this slightly off-piste episode, I’m sharing a conversation from Modern Beyond Midlife — and for good reason. Alongside my sister-in-law Sadie (yes, actual family), we chat summer style for overly air-conditioned spaces, making the most of working from home, and the slightly awkward but often necessary art of professional networking.Expect talk of our go-to poolside reads, trusted homeware brands, and a few mildly mortifying confessions — including my teenage talent for blowing up hairdryers, and a recent (and rather overdue) discovery of eye wash. It’s equal parts useful, stylish and gently self-deprecating — just how we like it.Don't forget to subscribe to future episodes of Modern Beyond Midlife!Here are all the links to the articlesToo Hot Outside, Too Cold Inside?
