Agreed on all points here. Wearing classics with a bit of edge is more youthful. I was in Paris recently and saw a woman in her late 60s to early 70s. She was wearing a black blazer with slim fit striped tee, dark slim jeans with a bit of ankle showing, and a pair of Golden Goose Francy in Black. I remember thinking to myself, this is how you do your 60s. She did not give up
Thanks for this so amusing video, Nada! I had to laugh out loud, because I am so guilty of many items you showed and was always wondering why I don‘t really look good in them. This was an eye-opener for me. I will do a huge decluttering in the next days. Greetings with a big smile from Austria 😊
I agree with a lot of what you say, but I think a lot of these styles will work if the colors and patterns aren’t so crazy. Perhaps show a ‘do’ next to a ‘don’t’ to help women.
Maybe I am over sensitive but I do cringe at the phrase 'old lady' clothes. I'm in my 70s so in the later stage of my life and I feel using 'old lady' in this way denigrates my age group.
You are NOT old. The clothes are. Old lady in this case has nothing to do with age and everything to do with a frump factor. It describes the clothes, not us. :)
@@pappyone6062 yes that could work but there are frumpy clothes for women of all ages. I’m looking for a term for frumpy clothes that target women over 50.
@@NadaManley I was commenting that because it made the lady above feel bad about the term. I do find that frumpy clothing in general is “aging” in a way but I think that’s because it’s just not attractive and people just think in those terms. I don’t think people necessarily want to look younger. I think they want to look current and not dated. Like you said, more modern. I’d hate for people who are older to think they need to look younger in order to look good since it’s just not true. I’m still only 54 and petite and fit and hope to stay that way forever, but I hope that when I’m 70 I don’t feel bad because I dont look younger anymore.
I think a better term would be “matronly” or “stodgy”…those of us who are a certain age want to look current and stylish, but it doesn’t mean our age should be denigrated. That being said I don’t think Nada is putting anyone down.
I love these videos! I’m closer to 70 that I am to 60 and want to dress like a modern lady , not an old lady. Your terminology does not bother me at all, it’s just hilarious.
I remember when the cold shoulder thing came out and I could not stand them at all from the very beginning. I bought one top and the minute I put it on it felt horrible. Thank you for your recommendations. ❤
I really enjoy your videos. I am not sure why people get offended. If you don’t like the content or don’t agree, just move along! I cleaned out my closet this weekend and after watching several of your videos I was able to rid my closet of many items I used to love but no longer fit my style or look good!
I’m dying! It was so nice of you not to point out the fallopian tube print on the 2nd handkerchief hem tunic. Omg, I cannot unsee it! I am 61 - technically an old lady - and don’t find the term insulting at all. I am proud of my age!
Love this!! So helpful, I’m always concerned about going too far in either direction actually. Not dressing appropriately. But I definitely don’t want to look older than I am, that’s for sure!
Hello, Nada! What a valuable observation (in addition to the entire session, of course) you made when you said that the more details something has, the sooner it will be out of date! Simple=classy and therefore longer lasting, style wise. I need to do your entire course again as a refresher. Sending you lots of hugs!
You make me laugh. I’m glad I found you. I literally have a white bolero sitting on my purgatory rack in my closet. I was hanging onto it in case it came back…just been cleaning out my closet and going to add it to my pile to donate. Also had one of those tie up cover ups (with a matching top!) but I knew enough to get rid of it…very helpful.
Cute video! So true that when you see these styles…whether in person, or in a magazine…they scream “mature older lady!” Thanks for the affirming visuals! 😂❤️👍🏼. I love your play on words, and your energy! Thanks!
I absolutely LOVED this video! I found myself either cringing because when working I wore many of the dresses (ala affordable Ross) or simply laughing out loud. Hiding my soft voluptuous body parts was always my MO. Since retired I’ve rid my wardrobe of nearly all of the items you mentioned and now need to go back and do an edit of my (aka your mom’s) 3 boleros worn for the smoke and mirrors purpose of hiding my upper arms. I’m now primarily wearing tonal looks as well as classic outfits but I do have a few above the knee tropical dresses commonly worn where I live. You offer great practical tips and I’m glad I found your channel!
I have a Vogue pattern for that knit angle tiered dress which I never got around to sewing. Guess I can recycle the pattern ;) Loved the shower curtain reference!
Definitely entertaining 😊 great video…you are so knowledgeable about style. Some things I had no idea were out of style. Time to go through my closets again.
So helpful! I recently did a major closet clean out and need to go back and let go of a few more pieces that I wasn’t sure about. Your comments made me realize that some that once were trendy have reached their “expiration date” even though where I live you see those styles everywhere. I am having a harder time seeing what a flattering and comfortable modern silhouette for mature women is.
Thanks for the comment! I think I’m going to do a video showing examples of clothes I actually do think are modern and flattering to show the difference
I used to enjoy but now really dread dressing up because I dropped out soooo many years ago. I don't like the bulky trend, for instance. But colours are welcome. Maybe following you will help me get back on track again? And prevent me from buying new outdated pieces? Thank you for thinking out loud!
Had to laugh at some of the items. I do recognise some of the styles and some ladies I know are still wearing them. The diagonal layers were a passing fancy. I’m learning heaps about WHY I instinctively didn’t like certain styles and refused to buy them - cold shoulder tops, flowing swing tops. We enjoy your videos and laugh a lot. I hope you have fun doing them.
I love jackets and blazers and used to wear them a lot until the hot flashes started, then it became intolerable. So then I resorted to shrugs and lightweight cardigans to cover the arms, most especially when going out at night or to church. What other options do we have?
This was so great! Luckily I only had one questionable top and a couple of those crop sweaters to wear with sleeveless dresses. I’m 70 for reference, love your energy and tips!
You are a treasure Nada! I don't know how you get the time to do all you do.I love these videos. They are so informative. It's like you've been looking in my wardrobe and seen the clothes causing the clutter, the ones that need to go! I"m looking forward to more videos. I've made a habit of sitting and having a cuppa and watching a video each day. It's such fun!😍🤩🥰
Thank you Nada. I remember that handkerchief look at the bottom of the tops and dresses. I never had one of those. this company Lily silk that you mentioned. Do you have a link for that and do they sell to Canada? I’m looking forward to your next video.

I’m enjoying your content. I’m 60 and live and work in an environment where casual dress is the norm and rarely have to dress up for much of anything. Would you be open to doing a video on mix and match separates for casual work and relaxing clothes for those of us who never need pearls or a little black dress or funky, modern anything?
Oh my goodness! I kind of have no words for all of these outfits. But laughed myself silly at your "shower curtain" comment. These are truly in stores and on websites now? Being on the short end of petite I have always gone for "less is more" style, so have noe of these looks to purge. Whew!
I loved and agreed with all your comments except one -- the short sweater that only covers your upper arms. I was born and bred in Alaska and lived there all my life. I am now transplanted in Florida to take care of my aging Mom. I can't wear long sweaters here; its way too hot. Usually, the only part of me that is cold is my upper shoulder, way above elbow area. That sweater is perfect -- not the stupid tied ones though. I need something to put on in the evenings when I am out and about because I wear short sleeves most of the time. In the evenings at home, I can switch to a tee shirt that comes midway between my upper arm and am perfectly comfortable. What would you suggest? PS I am not trying to cover my arms. I work out so they look older but I do not have butterfly wings. And I am also 70 and still wear short skirts.
I still have a couple of those jersey print maxis, but haven't worn in years. Time to go! They were very popular about ten years ago. Another con is they were heavy and hot 🔥
Hahaha l am so happy l have none of these ugly clothes in my closet! Lol l am 68! Never have dressed like that! However my baby sis recently wore an ugly jacket dress with pumps to a wedding! She is only 56! Her husband likes how she dresses! I have been divorced over 20 years! I wear what l want....Thank u for this! I had a good laugh!Hahaha! Hahaha!
In many ways you are right. That’s why I think it’s important to find someone who’s philosophy towards style makes sense to you. My opinions are definitely not for everybody. I really do not consider myself an influencer however that might account for my different perspective. I have been a personal stylist and a fashion editor over the course of my career. So I’m really looking at things like flattery and proportions in a different way. I also write trend reports that are used by other stylists, and I watch the runway shows myself so I can get that information first hand. So I try to combine my experience as a personal stylist, and my background talking about trends and reporting about trends in these videos. I hope that helps just to see where I’m coming from… other people are going to have their own lens that they see style through.
@@NadaManley Having been a nurse my entire career, wearing either white(in the very beginning) or scrubs, I am still defining my style. Therefore I am watching several different sites. Thank you for your response!😊
It would be so helpful to see examples with links of spring/summer dresses that do have sleeves covering arms that are modern. W/out jackets etc. Thank you.
If something is out of style, wait 10 more years and they will be in again. My doctor prescribed meds in the early to mid 1990s that caused me to gain weight. I lost weight about 2 years ago and pulled a couple boxes out of storage. I pulled out wide leg pleated trousers, midi skirts, oversized blazers, and nice basic blouses and sweaters. Score!
I love boleros. They look great on me. I cringe watch videos that say that things make you look older. I’m only 34, but I will dress for my body and my style, and never worry if something “ages” me. And a curved hem can be so flattering, but the top that was shows as the example was just ugly and the hem was in an awkward spot. I guarantee that curves hem shirts are going to come back soon, since lower rise pants are coming back, and therefore less tucking of our shirts.
I agree with you. People should find their own style and be confident in wearing what works for them. What works for A does not have to work for B. Sometimes it boils down to personal taste.
Aaaah. 😊 Give me five! I love (!!) Boleros too. I'm 60 now but I have loved them all my life because I think they look really good on my long torso (yes, short legs). I don't mind curved shirts AND 3/4 sleeves - they both could look very flattering. But of course not in such an awful print...
@@sannesia3595 these are just my opinions and I’m sure you make those items look lovely! Also I am not discounting all boleros. Just the flimsy sweater ones 😀
Not a single thing you showed should have ever been sewn together and mass-produced for anyone!!! 😂 Maybe the tie-up top could be replaced with a ballet wrap? I totally get your "old lady" reference, too! No one wants to look like the quintessential 'old lady'. I'd prefer to be described as 'well-seasoned' 🤣
New subscriber here and sister fashionista. So many people are loving "vintage shopping." What are they looking for that we should hold on to or nab? 😊
Welcome to my channel! Great question! A fabulous dress in a high quality material is a great find. I also love vintage evening wear denim jewelry and clutches!
Thanks so much for the comment! I work with women of all sizes. You do not have to settle for aging outfits if you are plus size. There are better options for all of us. :)
Love the frequent updates on your page. Really looking forward to every time. So spot on

I think it's hysterical that people start obsessing over "aging" wardrobe pieces in their 40's!!! Life is just beginning at that stage!!!
It would be helpful to see a fashionable alternative for all your rejects
Check out today's live video :)
Lol “let’s just wear sleeves” 😂😂😂😂😂 sooooooooo great !!!!!

Yes! Do a Modern Classics video!
Nada, I LOVE your sense of humor...on how you describe the pieces...makes me laugh, makes my day!!
What fascinating to me is Lands' End --- definitely hit or miss for older gals, but considered better than sliced bread by many in that category!
I remember when the cold shoulder thing came out and I could not stand them at all from the very beginning. I bought one top and the minute I put it on it felt horrible. Thank you for your recommendations. ❤

You are doing a service for many. I haven’t seen this type of content from other stylists. Thanks!
Great video. Thank you Nadia
Keep these videos coming! Your delivery is hilarious and keeps me in my lane😁
"I can't say anything nice about this piece... I don't know why it exists" was my favorite existential crisis comment of the video!!!
This is great. Can you address modern cover up styles for those who don’t like to show their arms?
Yes! jean jackets are usually suggested, but many of us live in areas where it is over 90+ degrees, and it's just not bearable.

At 34 you can wear whatever you want. Of course these are just my opinions but I have been doing this a while. :)
I rather enjoy 3/4 length sleeves if slim cut just skimming the arms …. on dresses tops. Do you feel they are aging?
I agree with you. People should find their own style and be confident in wearing what works for them. What works for A does not have to work for B. Sometimes it boils down to personal taste.
Aaaah. 😊 Give me five! I love (!!) Boleros too. I'm 60 now but I have loved them all my life because I think they look really good on my long torso (yes, short legs). I don't mind curved shirts AND 3/4 sleeves - they both could look very flattering. But of course not in such an awful print...

All those videos you suggested? My vote is yes.
Thanks Pam!!!
Are linen button up shirts with roll sleeves and buttons also out?
Terrific!!!!😊
Yes on modern classics
Not a single thing you showed should have ever been sewn together and mass-produced for anyone!!! 😂 Maybe the tie-up top could be replaced with a ballet wrap? I totally get your "old lady" reference, too! No one wants to look like the quintessential 'old lady'. I'd prefer to be described as 'well-seasoned' 🤣
I would love a video on classics!
😂😂😂. Funny 😂 but good information to know.
I have never seen a swing T that is funny! It looks sloppy too! Haha 😂

So many people are loving "vintage shopping." What are they looking for that we should hold on to or nab? 😊
Welcome to my channel! Great question! A fabulous dress in a high quality material is a great find. I also love vintage evening wear denim jewelry and clutches!
@@NadaManley Thank you! Hope to see lots of examples...it would be fun to go vintage shopping with you!!
A-line tunic with 3/4 sleeve or cold shoulder detail.
You are so funny. I love how much you hate some of these clothes. Also, not wrong.
I love chiffon though but I'm listening as you are right
I call those short jackets boleros too.
Being slim makes a great.deal of difference. Not for all.of us.
Thanks so much for the comment! I work with women of all sizes. You do not have to settle for aging outfits if you are plus size. There are better options for all of us. :)
Modern classics wardrobe please.
