    At 81 I still feel I’m in my heyday. While I agree with many of your comments, it is not because of age. I love pastels and florals which I will continue to wear. Don’t be afraid of looking your age. You have earned the right to be who you are. Love your videos.

    Some of us age differently and don't look nearly our age, so this sweeping statement doesn't apply to everyone. Also pastel colours are skin tone specific. Dark skin tone look fabulous in pastel colours. Nothing to do with age.

      The thing is, is that a lot of women in their 50s and beyond do not become "brave" in their clothing choices. They just become sloppy and lazy wearing clothing that looked good on them 15 years ago, but no longer does. They just look dated.
      People certainly can and do wear whatever they want, but in this world people are judged by how they look! You may not like that, but that's life.
      A put together, well dressed person (man or woman) is taken more seriously and treated differently than someone who has tossed on a pair of sweat pants and a baggy tee shirt. That look was cute on a twenty something, but looks aging and lazy on us women in our golden years.

    Everything you said shouldn’t wear, I do wear them and I look pretty good in them. So age has got nothing to do with our personal style. It depends on our confidence, personal style and how we carry ourselves .. I think we should stop overthinking about our age and focus on feeling comfortable and living our lives to the fullest. I am in my 50s too! I don’t follow any trends either..

    At 70, I disagree on the pastels. You are never too old to enjoy some color. I also think the opposite about florals. I do avoid large print florals, but ditsy florals work fine for me. I have seen some photos I admired recently of older ladies who stand out in their own dramatic styles. What fun! It is great to be aware of how we come across, but we should also be ourselves and not feel we have to fit in a certain box.

      I am 70 and very short and very thin. I never felt I took up enough space to pull off prints and I like solid vivid colors which I think are most flattering on my olive skin and dark hair. I am tired of skinny jeans and tired of looking at them even though they fit me well. While I need the height provided by a heel retired the stiletto with covid and will never go back. I agree with all your observations. Your programs are always well researched and presented and by the way, you look and are amazing😊

    I love florals but somehow and di not feel like wearing them anymore. I love pastels but I look very washed out when wearing them. I like to wear skinny jeans when going to dance class but for normal occasions they do not feel comfortable anymore.
    Maybe it not about the age in the passport, but more about comfort. And may the contrasts in our faces (hair) become less prominent so clear colors/high contrast becomes more of a go to.
    There were times when I liked fashion experiments but less and less. I still love colors very much and I still have a colorful wardrobe but more decisive. I love your video❣️

    I am about your age, 57 (in October) and the things I would not wear now, with a few exceptions, are pretty much the same things I would not wear in my 20s, 30s and 40s: nothing too revealing, nothing overtly feminine, nothing too colourful, busy or fussy. Like you though, comfort has become a priority as I'm no longer willing to "suffer" for beauty, so nothing too tight, nothing uncomfortable in any way, no more stilletoes and nothing that needs constant adjusting. I now actively seek out classic, clean lines, subtle but interesting details, natural fabrics, neutral colours and the right fit. I now love flats, kitten and block heels and am a bit obsessed with ankle boots. I recently got a pair of barrel jeans from Free People and I LOVE how they look on me. I know many hate them, but I am completely sold! You should definitely at least try them on!

Though I did choke on the animal print making your No list, until you elaborated that it was OK as an accent piece (shoes, boots, bag, shirt, etc.). Whew that was close!

    I’m turning 60 this year. I’ve never ascribed to the dressing for your age theory but it always happens on these milestone birthdays that all of a sudden I start a reevaluation of my wardrobe. The hardest by far was my twenties going into my thirties. I didn’t know my style yet and I had a lot of trashy clothes lol. For this year I just realized most of shorts are too short for me to feel my best, my boho style may not be my thing any longer and I’ve been trying to only buy natural fabrics because living in Florida it’s better for my health, my body and microplastics are just frightening tbh. I have given a lot of my heels to my much younger sister, I’m Saving some fabulous shoes for my niece and sexy, structured but easy is my new style for now. Thanks for saying the hard ones out loud. Some people won’t like it but it was what I was arriving too as well.

I love hand knits and hand crocheted items & I love mixing pastels with brilliant brights… I’m leaving black at the back as it juts doesn’t cheer me anymore… it’s not going anywhere permanent as I never say never anymore either except perhaps to bare legs with shorty shorts 😬😬🧐❤️🙋🏻‍♀️🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘

    I am 100% with you in regard to skinny jeans. I wore them for many, many years and today I cannot stand them anymore. I bought some wide leg jeans and trousers recently and I feel so much more modern and cool in those...even if I am only 1,65m. The only "problem" is that I still own a lot of blazers and tops that were fine with skinny jeans but cannot be paired with wide leg trousers. Now all of that will also be "sleeping" in my dressing room for a while.

They have nowadays but they have to be so so light! There are some brands, American brands anyway, that do sell clip on backings, which makes a huge difference. I am 60 and I have a few pair of clip on that. I love that are much easier to wear becausemy piercings are hanging a bit!

    Could you explain the ‘why’ of some of these points? For example the point about pastels has me thinking why? Why is it harder to wear pastel when you get older. It seems that your point to equally apply to anyone not just older people. I am careful about wearing pastels, making sure that the colour suits my skin colour and undertones, but also making sure that the cut and shape of the item is modern and doesn’t harken back to a chintzy Laura Ashley look (because that isn’t my personal style). I think the learning would be much more relevant if the why was explained, or maybe it’s just me and I don’t get the point. (Your earring point made sense because the ‘why’ was clear).

They are just a necessaary part of life. I see young girls with cellulite and curves and they’re wearing shorts and they don’t care what anyone thinks. With all that said, I love your videos and each person needs to do what they feel comfortable with. Keep up the great content.

    50 here and I agree with you. I’ve stopped wearing heels because I prefer comfort, no heavy earrings either. I’ve never liked low rise jeans so not for me. If I wear oversized clothes I get lost in them, I’m petite. The thing is that I like fashion but I’m not gonna wear any trend that I do not like or feel good in it. That’s the difference with age I think, you stop worrying about what others think and start thinking about yourself. You do you ❤, if you feel good in these trends, go ahead. Have fun 🤩

I’ve always looked awful in pastels anyway but I just got some small print shortish summer dresses and they look great, they are colours that really suit me and not too fru fru in style and I’ll wear with flats on hot days. Also skinny jeans I’ll be keeping as an equestrian they’re a staple for dog walking and yard work as can be tucked into boots and it’s still pretty muddy here! I do have a couple of leopard print dresses but they’re done in a slightly different way (shape/colour) so I think they are less dated. Oh but I’ll never be seen dead in barrel leg or wide leg jeans, YUK!

  • @brandinshaeffer8970

    I think skinny jeans were aging even when they were in style.
    As we get older we lose muscle and the legs get super skinny. I personally hit heavy weights to keep this from happening so my legs still look muscular and athletic but my friends legs have turned skeletal in our 50's.
    When skinny went out i was so happy i didn't have to eventually break it to them that their skinnies weren't flattering them.
    Now i have the excuse of telling them "those are out of style" which is less offensive than "you have old lady legs"😂
    Crisis averted.
    And YES you should tell your friends when they're wearing things that aren't flattering! My friends literally make me shop with them bc they know I'm the only truth teller of our group.

    Regarding the shape/cut of pants/jeans I think it is more your body shape that counts than your age 🤔 As someone with a short torso, high waisted anything will always make me look frumpy and like Steve Urkle because high waisted things always end up just below my boobs 😑 Low or mid rise is most flattering on my body shape regardless of my age 🤷‍♀️ Wear the pants that best flatters your shape ☺️

    I agree with everyone of your swap outs with the exception of pastels. I think some women of a certain age can look very lovely in pastels, for instance a monochrome suit look in sky blue. Now, with my olive complexion I have to be rather careful with some pastels as they have a tendency to wash me out, particularly pastels with a dusty cast such as mauvish pinks or dull greens.

    Hi, we’re all different. I can’t wear jeans of any type as the fabric is too harsh on my skin, I do wear more of a straight legged pant/trouser style (not as straight legged as jeans are made). I’m vertically challenged so I do have to consider all elements of an outfit. Agree with the “heavy earring” issue my much loved late MIL unfortunately had both lobes tear & had to stop wearing earrings. Shoe heels no higher than 3 cm / 1 inch due to osteoarthritis & toes pinned in a permanent position allowing a little “lift“ for special occasions. I have an extremely pale complexion & very carefully choose suitable coloured clothes, often using a brighter scarf to lift the colour. Leopard print goes in & out of fashion so often, my solution is a black jacket with leopard print lapels & cuffs. Yr channel popped in my feed & you have a new subscriber, I don’t agree with everything, but how boring would life be if everyone did the exact same thing all the time. Ty for the great vlog. Cheers 💐
