  • Today's video I'm going to go over 10 styles that I no longer wear now that I'm over 50. I do know this is a very subjective topic and am telling you what I may have worn before and do not now that I'm in my mid 50s.

    THANK YOU for being real!! I am 61, had a double mastectomy 2 years ago, and am taking hormone suppression drugs for 5 years post surgery. My shape had lost its mind because of it. I am so grateful someone is realistic about how bodies change. We all aren’t 5’8” and wear a size 4 at 50+. I have add’l issues being short and no longer able to wear V necks because of my scar… they were very helpful in adding the illusion of some height. I just TRULY appreciate seeing some honesty on 50+ UA-cam videos!!! Thank you again, and Happy Holidays!❤️💚❤️💚

    Oh my goodness. This was so validating. I can't believe how my body has shifted. My weight has stayed the same, but things have shifted-mostly south. I finally embraced the idea that despite the "cinch the waist with a nice belt" advice that seems to be the number one piece of advice of UA-camrs, it simply does not work on me because of the new location that my breasts are now occupying. I took a coat to the tailor recently and had the belt removed, and the coat is now perfect. Aging is not for the faint of heart. :)

The reason we do continue to look stylish & put together at any age is that we examine & evaluate in order to look our very best. Accepting our changing/aging bodies requires some forethought & analysis. I love the idea of aiming to look “modern” and “current” not young. Thanks again for helping us to set realistic style goals!

    I think this is an age mentality. We 50's ladies have fashion rules that we grew up with and are far more critical. When crop tops became fashionable years ago it used to amaze me to see chubby girls wearing the look proudly. Same for many other fashion styles.

    • @vanessapoppy7875

      I agree that we grew up in a time when we thought if we didn’t look a certain way that certain clothes and trends were off limits to us. This just isn’t the case. The younger generation have shown us. They wear the trends no matter what their body type. No one gets to tell us what we can and can’t wear. Who is going to tell us we can’t wear certain things? You are a gorgeous lady who takes really good care of yourself, that’s why we all watch your channel. I live in LA and the 50+ women here wear all the young trends well into their 70’s. The men too. They aren’t fading into the background anytime soon and I’m here for it.

    I’m 58 and used to have some similar attitudes towards my clothes that you are experiencing. Drop shoulder slouchy longer sweaters, ALWAYS a V-neck top, paper bag and wide legs were a no and always oversized vneck T-shirts- I’d buy them in multiples.
    However, this year, im doing wide leg trousers with sneakers, higher neck, cut in shoulder tanks that are really fitted, no more drop shoulder sweaters that cover my body and fitted tees that show my curves. I didn’t even realize that for 10 years I haven’t shown my body until my sister remarked that I looked like I had implants -it’s I just had never worn tighter clothes. I mean, I’m still not doing a bodycon sweater dress yet, but I may soon ;) I’m taking cues from the young ones to celebrate my shape instead of hiding it. They really are changing the visuals we have in the media about what is beautiful. Btw, getting more compliments than ever -when showing my shape.

    I have been really enjoying revisiting my boho hippie style from high school - I am 63 and it still suits me. I like maxi dresses with cropped tees and sweaters with chunky boots. Or a long dress with a vest and a fun scarf. I dont want to look bigger than I have to but its great to follow your own style. So many cute tops I wear over tank dresses were ones I altered and cropped and they make a great combo.

    Really relate to rib knits emphasizing my chest when the rib stretches across the bust line. And tight T shirts are a thing of the past. A good bra helps with most tops but not rib knits or tight Ts. I am tall and can wear wide legged jeans. Love ‘em. Long or 3/4 sleeve ,V or scoop neck tops & lightweight knit sweaters that land at or below the hip are slimming and a staple in my wardrobe. When I find a well fitted top, I buy it in multiple colors. Almost becomes a uniform. Lol.

I just bought a pair and love the look. They make my legs look longer, even though I wear them with sneakers. I agree that they would look really good with heels, but my feet can no longer handle any type of heel.

There really are body changes over time that change our sense of what looks good for many of us and and feels comfortable.

I also weigh the same within 5 lbs for the last many many years. I absolutely despise my shape but there's nothing I can do about it

      Just wearing a shell or cami under your clothes will make it so that clothes drape over problem areas instead of clinging to them. Shaping camis are even better.

    I think the best thing any woman can do for herself is find a trusted tailor to alter her clothing. That custom fit is everything. Lisa, you can always get a breast lift or whatever else you need to do to Live your life comfortably and happily without having to think too much about it. It’s that thinking that gets us down day after day.

      I had that breast lift at 50! My skin is so thin, they dropped back due to their weight (I was 32DD before lift). My natural breast pocket is also just lower on body.
      It was SOOOOOOOOOOOO painful while my skin stretched, like my milk coming in for over 6 weeks.

    I don't wear dresses anymore. And these days I'm rebuying the denim I owned in my late 30s and early 40s in SMALLER sizes. I used to be size 8, but now I'm sitting here in my size 6 NYDJ Alina legging black denim pants. Those were my favorite denim after the Hudson and Diesel years, the Citizens for Humanity and Seven for All Mankind, I had all of them. I did manage to score a pair of the original Diesel Matic pants that I LOVED. Now, however, I have to wear a belt to keep them up! I could barely fit into my OG pair back then, only wore them when I knew I'd be standing all night. Now they are my lazy day jeans. But seriously when I wore them to my aesthetician's, she gasped and said, "Girl! I LOVE THOSE JEANS on you, that belt, that low, low rise. You rock it!" Sort of having a moment I guess.

    I don’t do short dresses anymore. Even when my daughter in law’s recommended wearing it with s dark stockings. Since it’s always warm in hawaii and wi5h the menopause I’m always hot. So a lightweight long sleeve top is what I enough due to my chicken wings. And yup still clicking like a chicken. I agree a strapless bra is at a minimal for me too. I feel that as I get older tight and snug clothing makes me uncomfortable. Love the thoughts on long dresses. I’m a size large so maybe if I was a small then I would adjust my thoughts. But I’ve been at a small size and when I get I’ll it’s nit healthy for me. My doctor says since I’ve been at a size large I’m sick less. Excellent topic and chat.

    It's like our skin and muscle kind of don't stick to our frame like it used to. Even if you work out and have good muscle tone, our bodies still change and are not like they were in our 20's.
    Wear what makes you happy, but keep in mind, it may not fit the way you'd truly like it.
