As a woman over 45, I’ve been through every phase of style, chasing trends in my 20s, dressing for my career in my 30s, and embracing comfort (maybe a little too much) in my 40s. But somewhere along the way, style stopped feeling fun. It became a chore, one that involved mall parking lots, harsh fitting room lights, and endless scrolling through online shops that rarely got my size right. That all changed when I found Wantable.
This service has completely changed how I feel about my wardrobe, and myself. Their themed Edits (beautifully curated style boxes) make getting dressed exciting again. And now that each box includes 9 pieces instead of 7? It’s like my birthday came early.
9 Pieces = 9 Reasons to Fall Back in Love With Fashion
The first time I opened my Wantable box, I actually gasped. Inside were 9 handpicked pieces tailored to my style quiz, from a chic flowy blouse to perfectly-cut trousers that hugged in all the right places (thank you, stylist!).
The extra two pieces might not sound like much, but for me, they meant more outfit variety and more chances to try something new. I mixed and matched almost everything, discovering pairings I never would’ve pulled together on my own.
One knit blazer worked with three different pieces in the box, and suddenly, I had three distinct outfits ready to go for the week. Even better? A lot of the items paired beautifully with clothes I already owned, giving me way more outfit combos than I expected.
The Easiest “Yes” I’ve Ever Said to a Quiz
Wantable’s 5-minute quiz was surprisingly thoughtful. It asked about my fit, fabric, and color preferences, plus my lifestyle, whether I needed business casual, weekend wear, or special occasion looks. It felt specific without being overwhelming, clearly designed by people who understand that women over 45 aren’t all the same.
Best of all? My stylist actually listened. The pieces matched my preferences perfectly, and the fit? Spot on. I’ve spent years feeling like most brands forgot about women my age, but Wantable makes me feel seen.
Styling Without the Stress
One of my favorite things about Wantable is that you get to try everything on at home. No fluorescent lights. No awkward fitting rooms. No hunting for a medium that fits like a small.
I had five full days to try on all nine pieces, snap mirror selfies, test shoe combos, and even ask a friend for advice. When I decided what to keep, I simply dropped the rest in the prepaid return bag. Shipping and returns are always free, and stress-free.
The Power of a Stylist Who Actually Listens
Real human stylists curate every Wantable Edit, and the difference shows. Mine even left a sweet note in my first box, explaining why she chose each piece and how I might style them. That little detail made me feel like I had a personal shopper, without the price tag.
And because you can give direct feedback on your Edit, every box gets smarter. My next Edit included a few brighter colors I mentioned I wanted to try. And guess what? I wore a fuchsia blouse to brunch last week and got more compliments than I have in years.
Final Thoughts: Wantable Helped Me Find “Me” Again
At 45+, I know who I am, but I didn’t always know how to dress that person. Between my evolving body, busy schedule, and changing tastes, fashion had become frustrating. Wantable reminded me that it can be easy, joyful, and empowering.
Their Edits help me explore new trends, their quiz nails personalization, and their 9-piece boxes feel like a curated collection just for me. If you’re looking to reconnect with your personal style, Wantable makes it effortless, and honestly, kind of addictive.
Ladies, we’ve spent years taking care of everyone else. Wantable is a reminder that we deserve to feel amazing in our clothes, too.
