Style Advice for Women Over 40, From a Personal Stylist

Meet Megan Kristel

Before The Well Dressed Life, I spent a decade running one of the most successful personal styling firms on the East Coast — based in Philadelphia, with clients from New York to Washington, D.C. I worked one-on-one with real women: executives, entrepreneurs, and stay-at-home moms, most of them over 40 and overwhelmed by retail. They didn’t need more trends. They needed someone who actually knew what worked.

I launched The Well Dressed Life in 2007 — making it one of the longest-running style resources for women over 40 on the internet. Everything here is built on what I learned working with real clients, in real dressing rooms, solving real problems. No fluff. No trend-chasing. Just practical, expert advice so you always know what to buy, how to wear it, and whether it’s worth the money.
