    I loved this list and would like to add that dressing "too young" is also very frumpy (and looks foolish). Also, wearing athleisure wear outside of the gym. Always enjoy a laugh with you, many thanks for keeping things light.

    Leggings for exercise. I do have a pair that I use long tunics and High boots in the winter. Leggings should be considered like a pair of tights and when you have tights you cover up.

      I've always only worn them if they cover my butt. I have several longer nice hoodies and long sweaters that I wear with leggings. Never thin see through Leggings though. I like the nice thicker ones.
      I feel like people also think the tighter they the better they look. They have to FIT. not too big or too small. It's a thin line to walk, lol.

I may as well get some thin shiny leggings to wear under over-ripped jeans with a gaposis blouse with super large jewelry. Frédérique you make me laugh so much when you crack yourself up. Cleeeeck!

    I agree with the capri assessment. I live in Phoenix, so when I’m wanting something lighter than pants, there are plenty of midi length dress/skirt options that are casual but more chic than capris, in my opinion.

      Thanks, Frederique for excellent review. Agree! Recently evaluated and purged various items from wardrobe that simply do not work for me at this point in life. Capri and cropped pants were critically reviewed. Several were donated to Goodwill. Keeping several in classic cuts, basic colors, b/w, navy, and tan as I will be living part of the year in a desert climate. Fortunately, am able to carry-off this style due height and overall body proportion. I do not wear shorts of any sort, so cropped and capri styles make sense for me. Otherwise, wear long cut classic style pants/slacks. Will continue to evaluate this.

    Almost all UA-cam style gurus miss a very important area where women look older - that is the hair! I see women in their 30's 40's and 50's with long hair past their waist - I wonder why they are hanging on to long hair? Instead of making them look younger - they look so much older. I keep telling them to cut their hair.

    I'm very short and wear capris that are snug and hit just below my knee. I always have to shorten them, but feel good with the right classy top. But I'm with you on those that hit at the widest part of the calf. Long or short, choose one.
    Leggings: yes, camel toe: NO WAY. So my leggings are always paired with a longer shirt or sweater, and love high black boots in winter.
    Most of the time in winter I wear ponte pants, snug enough to be chic yet the fabric is thick enough to hold it's shape and never show the dreaded CT!

      Some women wear capris because they don't like the hot weather alternative of skirts or shorts. Depending on how your legs or knees age, you may actually look better in a good quality pair of capris (with the right top & shoes, of course).

    You make me laugh soooo much - “disco ball”. I think that Capri pants are the most aging look, except for wide leg, mid calf pants. I think they can look chic with a nice white blouse, dressy flats or a heeled sandal IF they are black.
    By the way, what size is your Chanel bag? I love that size.

    Hello Frederique! I completely agree with your view on jewellery. I'm petite, so big so-called 'Statement' pieces and chunky beads would swamp me. I'm more attracted to tiny pieces that can be combined - they still look delicate and not over-done - in yellow gold with diamonds or pale coloured gemstones. They look stylish and quirky, but still delicate. I love your posts - such good sense and style! Thank you!

    Hello Beautiful Lady, Miss Frederique! I loved this presentation!! I'm 53 so in the 1980s, my fashion "go-to" inspirations were Princess Diana (feminine, colorful, elegant) and the preppy look which never goes out of style. Like you, I like shoulder pads at times but more in the 1940s fashion, not the huge 1980s type. To be honest, I've never liked ripped jeans. My "edgy" look includes skinny jeans, a black T-shirt and a leather jacket. I loved your comments on jewelry! I'm now enjoying simple pendants and bracelets like never before. I've always loved rings so that will never change. As far as handbags go, I wish I could afford a Hermes "Kelly Bag." That's my favorite handbag next to Channel. Ahhhhh!
    Love to you, sweet friend, from Northern California! :) PS: Your laugh is contagious!!! I loved the end to this presentation!! Stay healthy :)

    Capri pants look OK on me (for our long summers here!) if they are jeans style and cropped mid or just under knee at the thinner part of the leg (and I am petite, 5' 3 and slim). I have a pair with a bit ruching at the bottom, and they look a bit like long, slim shorts. I hate my knees so don't really like showing them! If they are baggy at the bottom and mid-calf then no, they are not flattering. They should taper. Leg pockets also don't help. There are some nice smart cargo pants around that look good, between casual and smart, but they are a little different from the '90's version we all thought was cool (if we did). I don't discount anything because it's the style. You need to try it on and see. I think buying online is resulting in many ill-fitting clothes, though I understand why people do it.
    Anyway, when my summer trousers start to wear out, I crop them and taper them and make these cargo shorts. They are a half-way house between unflattering capris and cycling shorts, so very useful. If you do it. make sure you can get your foot through the bottom width.
    Too tight anything doesn't look flattering on any but the youngest and slimmest. It's not comfortable either, like being in a sausage skin.

    Capris make my short legs look shorter. But, at my age & body condition shorts are out. So I wear black or navy capris with sandals. Not as stumpy looking as with sneakers & socks! I wear what I like, as long as it flatters my figure and matches, I don't care. That's part of creating "your own style." I notice also that a lot of what I loved as a teen is back now (1970s), and I'm enjoying some of those things within reason. I sport a short shag and it's very cute! Not trying to look like a teen, just enjoying the nostalgia. Women look at my hair (you that look when they're trying to figure out what you did so they can copy it, not the pity or catty look. PS when I see a lady rocking some accessory or whatever I tell them they look great! Why not?)

    No woman should wear capris or pants that hit mid-calf. It isn't flattering on anyone. Ripped jeans aren't classy and they really are no longer in style. Same with leggings. Wear classic styles that make you look great. The word "class" is the root of classic and who doesn't want to look classy.

    Again, depends on your figure and how you wear sequins or leggings I agree about 'too much embellishment and glitter'. I find cheaper Italian clothes often go over board on the unnecessary embellishments and would look much better without! A bugbear of mine! Some more expensive metallics and sequinny clothes are very beautiful but you must pay for them and let the fabric speak, have a simple, more figure hugging style. Separates that go together and you can wear apart are good.
    Leggings need to be in a good fabric, that holds you in a bit. There are some good ones around for not much money. Got my favourite black pair in Lidl in a thicker polyester (I know!), spandex, and they hold their shape and are very slimming. They look best with an oversize, cashmere or wool sweater, that covers the derriere and top of thighs. Again keep the silhouette long and simple. Thinner ones are good for nightwear and wearing under jeans when it is cold as I hate tights on my feet and under trousers.
    I'd always buy a leather handbag. Metallics also go with many things, I don't mean shiny metallics as much as toned down. Another tip is have good quality shoes, they last better and soft leather wears to the shape of your foot. I mostly agree with you, we all make mistakes and have to learn from them.
    I find a gathered (slightly puffed) but fitted shoulder line does not exagerrate broader shoulders but looks more modern. I hear more and more that designer brands are selling awful clothes with cheap fabrics for high prices. Remember your brooch? Anyway, go for quality, look at the finish. There is nothing more frumpy for me than cheap fabric that will make a could be pretty outfit just look awful, and after a few washes, it's a rag. Polly Ester looking at you, and it comes often at a high price these days. If people were more fussy about quality, they would not be able to rip us off.Not all good quality clothes come with a high price tag, some expensive ones are badly made. Wait for sales and offers and you will get better clothes, or hunt around and buy secondhand, often hardly worn or not worn.
    Thank you for the good tips and you look lovely in this video.

      I couldn't agree more. I like nice fitting thicker Leggings with longer shirts. I have 2 pairs of jeans with a few rhinestones on the back pockets. Not too gaudy or noticeable. I hate shirts with stuff printed on the. I like things on the simpler plainer side. Even for my toddler. Most of his shirts are plain, striped, or Plaid with the exception of mickey mouse. He (we) loves mickey and they actually do make some better quality mickey apparel now.

    Cropped or capri pants aren't flattering on anyone and yet they're very popular. I like to wear either full length trousers or some jeans and for summer, sone ankle grazers with espadrilles or a Chanel style ballerina with 1cm heel. Great video as always dear Frederique. Bisous.🥰😘

My mother has always been elegant, simple and beautiful. Less is more she has always said. Anyhow, much love from myself and my mother, Hughettte! 💖

    I HATE leggings and I cannot wait till they go out of style- among other things! I think they’re fine if you’re cleaning your house or what have you, but every time I see a lady wearing them, I see ‘the people of Walmart’ . I know that is harsh, and it is just my opinion. I just hate how casual we have become. Talking with my mom: she remembers growing up and dressing to the nines just to go shopping downtown on a Saturday with my grandmother. Oh, I was born in the wrong era! I have a little boy and I am trying to instill in him the importance of presenting yourself well, his character being more important obviously. Anyway, all of that to say I hate leggings and lounge wear in public.
    I love your channel Fredrique!

      You might want to reconsider them. If the hem hits you mid calf, it can cause your legs to look stumpy. Because your calf is the widest part of your leg, it emphasizes them. It is best to do either a knee length walking short or an ankle length pant.

      I would seriously collapse of heat exhaustion if I couldn’t wear capris especially at work. Not everyone works in an office or someplace where they can dress up. I’m a nurse, in a nursing home, and we aren’t supposed to wear uniforms. There is minimal air conditioning and I need to wear cooler clothes. Like above I try to find capris that don’t hit the widest part of my calf, but that’s sometime difficult as I need petite pants and pockets are a must. I may not look the most fashionable but I try to look pulled together.

      Why don’t you wear a skirt? Or dress? Or long but thin trousers? Also why don’t you wear shorts? Not very short one but a knee length shorts looks good even on older bodies.

    I wear a lot of black and use jewellery to "spice" it up. I have a lot of curated pieces which are not too plastic or bling bling and this is my signature look. I love glasses as well but cannot own too many: it is not the price of frames that make them expensive but the incredible high prices of my prescription lenses...

      @@Vertigo_T Lets be fair, we wiser women are very hard on ourselves. Where I live, most of the women look great compared to the men they are with, and that gets more extreme with age. A man will wear frumpy clothes even if his woman has dressed up and looks elegant, but he'll look in the mirror and see God's gift to women 20 years younger.
      I used to like it when men wore linen suits in summer in soft natural colours with an open neck shirt and a straw hat. That wasn't so long ago, and some older Italians still do, but it is rare now. The younger ones like flashy clothes and jogger style bottoms (Ugghh) and in Italy the suit style is shorter tight jackets with cropped trousers (not flattering on most).
      Classy is classy. Fashion changes but elegance is always stable.

    Your videos are my favorite on UA-cam! I'm 81 years old, but am often taken to be in my 50's due to a positive, youthful attitude and lifestyle. Vegetarianism and 2-3 hours every single day (not negotiable) of working out in my home gym, are keeping me in shape and young. I just recently took up violin lessons, also make clothes and play the piano. I believe that good hobbies make a wonderful impact on ones life. I love your attitude, style, and wonderful gift of laughter. Here's a Big Thumbs Up! Keep on doing great videos!!

    @philippapay4352 3 роки тому +1

    Frumpy, dumpy, lumpy, bumpy, grumpy all rather sound like what they are, don't they? LOL. It is sad to say that most Capri pants worn by older women tend to look like hand-me-downs or at the least not at all intentional, because they are not styled well on relatively well-kept bodies with Caprese accessories to complete the composition, the picture. Glittery makes outfits look like costumes, not couture. Ripped is just adolescent, not even young womanly. I must say that bursting out of garments is not appealing on men or women. I think that embellished clothes of any type are adolescent as well in that they are not worn by people who have to live a real life. I do not want you sitting on my sofa at home or my conference room chairs if your silly clothes are going to tear the damask upholstery or damage the wood or leather because you could not dress simply and use accessories to accent a classic garment. Ah, the '90s! So long ago and we were so young then. I detest puffy sleeves and embellishments like flounces and bows at the shoulders. However, I like a good shoulder pad inside the garment, if one has weak or slouchy shoulders. Though, they should not look like they were made by the designer of the Sydney Opera House or the costumer of The Flying Nun. One need not look like one is yearning to take flight while trying to give one's body shape proportion and add strength of line through shoulder pads. Dame Edna Everage can wear exotic eyeglass frames or Elton John and both are costumed to perform when they do so. Everyone else should consider face shape, skin tone, eye contours, including brows, while choosing them. Yeah, the carpetbagger look is not good. Don't you think leggings are too often like bikinis at the beach, in that some folks can make them look like a fabulous fashion idea, while most make them look just dreadful, gauche? I like your "click, click, click" and your good humor. You entice us to laugh and learn with you.

    Looking for a quality shirt with the right size arm holes and tailored with darts helps immensely with placket gaps. Cheap shirts also have fewer buttons, with larger spaces between them, contributing to gapping, even if the shirt is otherwise the correct size.

    Frumpy=mal fagotée, très démodé, qqchose une veille portait pour qquelques sens! I like leggings but I only wear them when it is chilly with my little boots and a very nice top with perhaps a nice vest (gilet) or jacket. I think leggings look great with a comfortable pair of knee high boots. I agree-no sequins. I have one pair of black ripped jeans from White House Black Market, une boutique ici aux Étas de vêtements haut de gamme mais les ouvertures sont subtiles. Mmm, this boutiques sells jeans with a very pretty appliqué. It’s pretty. There are sloppy looking capris, je sais ce que vous voulez dire and then there are yes, sexy ones. I have sexy ones because they fit close to my body. They were by a Canadian designer Peter Nygard. I live in Florida alors ça marche très bien ici les capris aux mois de printemps et d’été. Bonne vidéo et j’èspére que ça ne vous dérange pas que j’incorpore un peu de français à mes commentaires. À la prochaine!
