Who over age 50 has bought, tried on or at least thought about a “cold shoulder” or off-shoulder dress this year? Most of us did ... and why not? It is a big 2017 trend that continues to


linger. We love dresses because they speed up and simplify the whole process of getting dressed, but it's getting harder to curb our enthusiasm with so many choices. The challenge is


choosing the right dress — one that won't sit on the hanger next year. Want to know 10 that will never go out of style? Even celebs dress for success.

Launched by designer Diane Von Furstenberg in the '70s, this iconic style is now everywhere. Five reasons to get one (or more) ASAP: The adjustable wrap defines your waist (or re-creates


one!), the V-neckline elongates your neck and torso, the crossover wrap separates and lifts your breasts, the fluid fabric works year-round from day to night (and stays crease free) and the


three-quarter-length sleeves add confident coverage.

The little black dress is the VIP of your closet, so be picky because it needs to pivot from work to cocktails, casual to formal, sexy to conservative, with a change of shoes, bag and


jewelry. On the other hand, keep it contemporary but true to your lifestyle and personal style — whether urban or relaxed, classic or more fashion-y. Your LBD might be a tailored


fit-and-flare style, a sleeveless shift with faux leather inserts or a flow-y bohemian dress with full sleeves. There's no one-for-all answer.

Women in red dresses do come off as fiery and passionate — or at least friendly and outgoing — which is why you need one. A red eye-catcher gets attention in a sea of neutral colors and on


social media. Depend on that scarlet, tomato or ruby glow to energize you the way high heels (or red lipstick) used to. Wear it to blaze the way at important interviews, meetings, cocktail


parties, get-togethers with new friends or neighbors. And, of course, if you're dating again, this will be in heavy rotation.

Lace Dress


Not just for weddings anymore, lace has gotten edgy and cool. When you want to look sophisticated and feminine, all you need is a tailored stretch-lace sheath or any dress with lace


overlays, panels or inserts. In fact, black or wine-colored lace has a dark fashion vibe that's way more Goth than Granny. Just skip the pearls.

This fast-fix dress strategically uses dark and bright or light colors to attract and distract. It's amazingly empowering since the precise placement of color creates an illusion of body


shape. The emphasis goes straight to bright or light areas, and dark areas get ignored — which is great when you want to whittle away a few pounds or bulges without Spanx.
