Stylist Roz Kaur’s journey in the fashion industry began over 24 years ago. And she’s learned a lot in those years. “At 20, I focused on trends,” Roz reflects, “At 40, I appreciated timeless pieces–now at 57, I embrace authenticity and the freedom to express myself.”
But what are the timeless pieces to build your style on? She shares her expert direction and shopping tips to simplify and elevate your style.
2. A Classic White Shirt
A wardrobe staple for everyday outfits. Find a fit you love (like this Everlane button down) and style with your favorite skirt, jeans, or pants. Play with buttons done up, untucked and open, or sleeves rolled.

Once you have the essentials, it’s time to play! For those who prefer a more casual feel, there are many ways to elevate a look and still feel like yourself. “Opt for well-fitted jeans, a comfortable but chic top, and stylish flats or sneakers,” she suggests. “Add a statement accessory like a bold necklace or scarf to elevate the look.”
“Embrace your uniqueness, experiment with fashion, and wear what makes you feel good.” -Roz Kaur
A note from Roz. My journey began over 24 years ago in the fashion industry. As I matured, I realized the importance of representing mature women with style and substance. Seeing the lack of representation for mature women in fashion and media inspired me to champion the message that style knows no age. My dream is to empower women of all ages to embrace their unique style and confidence, creating a community that celebrates individuality and self-expression. Age is just a number; it’s your mindset that counts.
