Fashion rule book? Rip it up, says YOU's Contributing Editor Trinny Woodall. In her ultimate guide to ageless dressing – with more than 70 brilliant tips – she shows us how to look great and feel amazing every single day.

Fashion rule book? Rip it up, says YOU's Contributing Editor Trinny Woodall.

I've been doing makeovers for 30 years, but I'm still surprised when I hear women tell me that they can't wear certain styles, colours or fabrics after the age of 50. I'm here to tell you to rip up that old-fashioned rule book. Fashion no longer has age limits – teenagers and their grandmothers wear the same pieces, from the same store, just styled in different ways. Today it's about embracing ageless dressing: choosing clothes that flatter in sophisticated fabrics, knowing your body shape and what colours suit you best. It's also about still daring to take risks. You don't have to look conservative just because you're in your 60s, 70s and beyond and you can – and should! – still shine at any age. For decades I was led by style rules, but more recently I've followed one mantra when it comes to clothes: 'Does it make me happy?' If you feel happy in what you're wearing, you will radiate happiness to those around you and that's what dressing should be about. So here, over the following pages, I've shared my favourite summer outfits; they've brought me that sense of happiness and I hope they'll do the same for you.

1. We all have a long dress that we bought for an event but now only wear once a year. Well, it's time to give it a new lease of life. There's great freedom in a long, wafty dress in a chic fabric that can be worn casually for day and glammed up for evening. I like a style with a high neck because it frames the face and maximises the colour impact – cornflower blue suits me best, but choose the right hue for you. To take your dress from day to night, add statement jewellery – a long necklace, earrings or a cocktail ring would also look great.

2. I like my arms and am happy showing them off, but if you prefer keeping yours covered pick a dress with sleeves

3. Choose a maxi dress in a colour that makes you look the most 'alive'  

4. team your maxi with a pair of white trainers (if it's a dress you usually wear with heels, choose platform trainers). It's an instant moderniser

5. Dress, £185, essentiel-antwerp.com. Ring, £98, merola.co.uk. Trainers, £80, frenchconnection.com. Necklace, Trinny's own, for similar try johnlewis.com. Blazer (opposite), Trinny's own, for a powder-blue jacket go to jigsaw-online.com

16. Why do people think it's only for the young and petite? Nonsense. The trick to wearing white well? Think layering and textures. Sheer is also a playful way to add white to your look as it's not about showing off skin, just creating the illusion of doing so. Here I've teamed my favourite Zara gilet with a statement top. Keep your trousers well-cut, but neutral. Finish off with a metallic shoe (a bit of shimmer goes with everything).

29. FD. Not just the more modern way to wear trousers, its forgiving cut skims my legs, while the contrasting waistband and loosely tucked shirt highlights the waist.

29. Wearing bright colour from top to toe gives you presence when you enter a room. A zingy silk shirt with matching pyjama-style bottoms is one of my staple looks.

30. When wearing a strong shade, tone down lips but swirl on lots of blusher so your face has colour, too

47. This is the ultimate summer dress. Both pretty and chic, it will look the part at every formal event in the diary, from weddings to the races. For outdoor dos, wear with platform heels as stilettos will sink into grass. The broderie anglaise fabric also makes it a winner – far more forgiving than lace, this gives the impression of being sheer but doesn't reveal so much skin.

66. And sparkle is not just for the party season. Shimmer lifts every outfit and will make a casual ensemble look sophisticated. This skirt is my summer friend – I can wear it anywhere, from running errands to going on holiday. Add a white jacket for a meeting or smart dinner, but make sure it's short-waisted and has one button. Finish off the look with a statement lip for a modern 'undone' look.
