Glamour in Your Thirties: The Unspoken Benefits of Aging
Many people look forward to their 30th birthday. Friends has turned the era into an urban legend to be feared. Even shows like Sex and the City, which follows a group of Manhattan socialites in their thirties, take a more reserved approach to age.
Samantha Jones does not reveal her age for the first few seasons, despite the show’s glamorous exploration of aging.
However, this fear of aging may not be as widespread in popular culture as many believe.
For decades, women in their thirties, forties, and beyond have attracted fan bases based solely on their beauty—even in Bond films.
Despite the spy’s penchant for dating younger women, Sean Connery, 33, was paired with on-screen love Zena Marshall, 36, in 1962’s Dr. No.
Spectre (2015) defied stereotypes even further when Monica Belluci, 50, played Daniel Craig’s on-screen love interest, 46.
Though these examples aren’t as common as many would like, they show that women in their thirties and beyond are still influencing beauty and glamour standards—and they’re well aware that aging has a few unspoken (and glamorous) benefits.
The Fabulous Woman Isn’t a Newcomer
Some of life’s most fabulous activities require practice, especially those that require a relaxed demeanor.
Let us return to the James Bond example from earlier. The character is known to frequent casinos, usually with a date.
Going to the casino in your twenties may be a little nerve-racking, first and foremost because games like blackjack take time to learn.
Knowing when to split aces and when to stop hitting is all part of the game.
Today, blackjack is available online on a variety of platforms, many of which provide a variety of options for players to explore based on their preferences.
Women in their thirties who may have felt out of place in a male-dominated industry like casino gaming are likely to have some experience under their belt.
This allows them to participate in more activities, whether online or in person, with confidence.
The same is true outside of the world of blackjack. Women in their thirties also have more experience in a variety of areas, from choosing skincare products to negotiating with a customer service representative for a refund.
She understands that fashion is a state of mind
Many women’s fears about aging revolve around physical perfection, but women in their thirties have accepted the fact that style is a state of mind.
After all, would anyone argue otherwise with Anna Wintour or Dolly Parton? True beauty is born of style, and unforgettable style is born of authenticity.
While facial wrinkles deepen with age, so does one’s sense of self. This allows you to approach any activity in the spirit of the main character.
Let’s return to the casino example—imagine you’ve arrived at a regal establishment like the Casino di Monte Carlo.
Inside, guests dressed to the nines are seated. Who appears to belong? Is it entirely determined by the designer they’re wearing or their age? Most likely not.
It’s more about how they carry themselves and whether they appear to be out of place.
Pants-Suit Paradigm
Along with benefits such as increased confidence and style, another unspoken benefit of being in your thirties is increased professional autonomy.
Despite ongoing efforts to level the playing field for male and female employees, women continue to be paid less—and this pay disparity often follows women into retirement.
Women in their thirties who have been active in a professional field, on the other hand, have a greater degree of control in their professional lives.
Some may also be in management or even own their own business.
In other words, they make decisions based on their interests rather than the options available to them.
Leadership is one of the most glamorous looks in existence, whether or not they’re wearing a pantsuit.
