Not many replys from over eighties. I am nearly 82 years of age, still wear jeans and feel really good in them. One can almost wear anything with jeans. Even a classy blouse. Not everyone over 80 feels old. And 80 is not ancient, or is it. NOT FOR ME. Good video.
What's wrong with getting older. Getting older is a blessing. I don't want to go back to my younger days. I am growing older gracefully and enjoying every minute of it. My kids are grown, I know who I am now and what I want , I am confident and at peace now. I like looking nice and well put together but u can have that by loving yourself and accepting who you are.
Luckily l am 88 yrs of life. My hair is a naturally color between grey and original what so often referred to as dish water blonde . I get compliments often. No wrinkles/ even though l lived in the sun. The only aging problem I have is my hands. Too much hard work/ building business.
I am 71 years old and stopped dying my hair at 60. It’s not the colour of one’s hair that makes them look young or old. It is your smile that never goes out of style! My naturally silver streaked hair and a big smile gains me many many compliments . Know who you are and be proud of it. You’re enough!
I decided to allow my hair to regain its natural colour as soon as I stopped working in the public domain, because a young man said to me wistfully “no one has silver hair any more. I love it!”
I am 72 years old and from the start of the pandemic, I decided to stop coloring my hair. And, since I have frizzy hair, I decided to tie my hair in a bun. People have complimented me with my new hair style, including 75 year old husband and my 40 year old son. Someone did mentioned that God made our hair turn gray so that it does not frame our face and focus on our wrinkles, but, silver hair defuses the attention on our wrinkles.
I have donated and thrown out too many clothing items that I now regret not keeping. Quality was much better and the same stuff I got rid of is now selling at thrifts and online for a small fortune. All I needed to do was tweak the styling 🤦♀️
I love my black clothes! Sorry…they are not going anywhere! I am 68 and 4’10” with a bit of mature build and do where black quite often and most often receive compliments on my outfit. I usually avoid midi length dresses unless I am wearing boots, but I prefer to wear dresses and skirts maxi, just above the knee, and on rare occasions, a bit of a mini length. My favorite flat shoes are my ballet flats..they are quite comfortable and look chic on my tiny size 5 feet. Chunky shoes are definitely not flattering on me. I do have a few “vintage” pieces that just stand the test of time. As long as the fabric keeps it’s integrity and is clean and well maintained, it can be a true asset to an outfit. I don’t like fashion rules and find I have never been much of a conformist in this particular area….I wear that which makes me feel good and confident! I am also an artist and you how we are! Sometimes we want to be Rembrandt and then other times we want to throw caution to the wind and be Klimt, Pollock, or Picasso! Fashion is expressive and communicates to the world around us an aspect of ourselves, our mood, or sometimes even our fantasies. Life a journey of self discovery of all the amazing facets of who we are…and some of us like to do this through fashion! I don’t really view it as fashion mistakes. When my piano students strike a “wrong “ note or chord, I often encourage them to incorporate it into their music as a transitional note or improvisation. Sometimes that “wrong” note becomes the better choice as it gives unexpected interest and character to the piece. I love watching designer runway shows. They present the most outrageous, over the top, controversial fashion ideas and expressions for the mere purpose of showing off their creativity, vision, and artistry! What a glorious art form! Obviously, most not appropriate for wear outside of the runway…..it’s art…pure raw art! Maybe today I will don that vintage piece that may remind a stranger of a kinder and gentler time and bring back a special memory long forgotten.
Everyone is different and rules are more guidelines. Fashion is art and it's lots of fun if you treat it that way. I love to hear women talk about style as being part of their lives, as it seems style and fashion are for you.
Dyeing your hair black is super aging. It makes you look haggard. Our skin and eyes and hair naturally fade, so it’s time to go lighter and/or get highlights.
I am 58 and I recently asked my tailor to make me 2 high rise pants. I was so tired of the low rise. I believe it takes away from our feminity. Now I feel so confident and beautiful in my high rise pants with fashionable blouses.
So glad I came upon your video! It is very informative and makes perfect sense! I tend to hang on to " old clothes" and your 10 year rule is inspiring for me to update my wardrobe! I have a hard time deciding on what items to declutter. Thank you for your kind advice and I look forward to following your channel.
Thanks, you brought up some fresh ideas to looking your best at any age. I didn't think your message was about looking younger rather than looking your best at whatever age you are.
Glad I found your channel. 🎁👏I’m in my mid 50’s and can’t seem to get my sense of style anymore. This video helps. Thank you for getting right into the video too.👍🏽
I know a few young-at-heart ladies. 70+ year old fashionistas that would give a 35 year old a run for their money! They still wear high heels, designer jeans and bags, makeup, lashes, eyebrows, and have nice figures. Those Clarkes look comfy but if they want to wear their heels 👠 still - Why not?? If you got it, flaunt it.
I saw the difference in lack of eye liner on lower half. It's an improvement. You were the model. At 75 I wear black, but it looks good on me with the white on the front of my hair. The back is still dark. However, not all the time do I wear it, and I wear a different color pants or jeans. Many people say I don't look my age, or I look good for "my age." I thank them for the compliment. Feel lucky to get them! LOL. Most of your other tips are very good. Will try to remember them. I love Clark's shoes BTW. :)
When people are said to look old or older it often comes with negative connotations. We all want to look GOOD for our age no matter what that is and some people are better at it than others that’s what platform such as this are helpful as well as informative. Nothing wrong in looking good or indeed age appropriate but times and fashion are changing. It certainly wasn’t appropriate for my mum to wear jeans in her 50s but now it is! 😊I’m not afraid of getting older I just want to look good for my age and with some help from professionals and friends I can achieve this. I think we all know what we are not comfortable wearing. I’m willing to shake things up a bit but I also know where I want to draw the line and that’s okay. Clothes are just one aspect of style, how we think and even our smile can make us look so much better. ❤
I'm nearly 50 . But I have never gone for fashion. I've always chosen clothes I like which suit my body shape . The only thing I've change is the length. Ie no more mini skirts . My daughter & my mother are always borrowing my clothes . Style & elegance is the way to go . I do sometimes wear hair clips . To style my hair . But they are always the colour of my hair & never more then one
Those of us with Morton's neuroma cannot wear heels at all, ever again. I wore heels every week day for 25 years and then developed this very painful condition! It's pure torture and there is no treatment.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I've never heard of that condition. Heels certainly aren't worth being in pain. Hopefully someone in the medical field will find a solution for that. Sending you love.
You have a very put together look and some great tips here, as well! Turning 50 in December and trying to learn to navigate these new waters! Thank you so much!
I’m 68 and I feel like I’m a pretty youthful looking 68. I agreed with everything you said, Except for not dressing in all black. I’m a redhead, and I have a couple of all black dresses, and I have to say without seeming conceited, I look pretty darn good wearing them. I also wear a very light brown shade under my bottom lashes, not Inside the waterline. I also smudge it and I think it looks nice.
Redheads or blondes look fabulous in "little black dresses" no matter the age. Just so long as it's not an everyday uniform. When we women wear it all the time, it gets to be boring looking. Or, you wonder why that's all the person wears! I remember that on a couple of women in their 60's when I was 18-20 years old. One of the real reasons for wearing all black though is we think it makes us look slimmer. Ah, we can't hide the fact we've gained weight. It still shows . . . unfortunately.
@@StylebySheila Yep, easier to dress when everything is black or black and white.. Need only one or two pairs of shoes (one tennies and one leather) and saves a lot of time creating "outfits."
Totally agree that black against the skin isn't a good look.I stopped coloring my hair but still maintain it with a good cut. Yes, a good bra is essential. I stopped wearing eyeliner...best decision ever--at least for me.
I've always worn jeans and still will there's nothing wrong with them they been out longer than you have so people can ware what they want I know someone in her 80is who wears them a loves yhem
Black clothes and bag makes you look older? what? that's the one color that makes me look and feel sexier than any other color.... white clothes actually makes me look fat and older....so I disagree wirh you on this video
I'm 60 and I've realized that I won't be as slim as I was when I was younger. But I have always been a rocker and I won't change my style just because of my age. So I'm gonna keep my superlong hair and band t-shirts. But I'm gonna get a perfect bra, and maybe stop coloring my now white hair black, maybe choose a light brown color instead
Sadly the quality of Clark's is not as good. I bought a pair of sandals and wore them twice and the strap came out of the footbed. Got it repaired. Now the same thing has happened to the other sandal.
Thanks! I AM 67 I clean my closet yearly and I have a beautiful daughter & granddaughter who help me to look nice. But you did help hopefully other women is watching you also...THANKS
The world is so youth obsessed, I am 43 & I'm going to age graceful. I'm not trying to hold on to youth, I just want to be healthy & look my best. There is no shame in getting older, a lot of ppl aren't blessed enough to live .. to be old. I look forward to sharing my life experience & knowledge with younger ppl.
Maybe some things make me look older, but I like what I like. I’m religious, so my skirts are staying mid-calf or longer. Only shoes I can wear are frumpy. Too bad. I have arthritis and can’t wear any heel whatsoever. I wear Birkenstock’s, Earth Shoes, clog style Crocs. I don’t wear makeup, never have. My hair is natural, brown with grey and reddish blonde. I wear it in a loose bun held with combs instead of barrettes. With me, the rule is, “What you see is what you get. Take me or leave me. Your choice!”
same, i wear what i want and dont care if its not for my age, sometimes i wear tons of makeup other days shorts and no makeup at all, i dont care, i dress for me and what i feel like , i dont care to impress anyone, i love feeling like this now that im older
People are so concerned about what people think. Wear whatever make you happy. If you don't want someone to give you tips on what to wear or not wear just keep doing what you're doing.
How many times did she say "wear something stylish" and not say what that means. I'm 76 and still wearing jeans and shirts from highschool. Farm is farm. Nobody cares what you wear as long as you are decently covered.
Yes ! Small town / country lady of 71 here - no one is going to be impressed by what I wear to town when I load up the dogs in my Jeep / go buy groceries / landscape supplies / join gal pals at the local lunch spot , etc.. Clean jeans , cute top & a bright smile go a long way ! ( And yes , we know how to dress appropriately for church too ! )😀
I used to wear a lot of black when I was in my 40s and had long strawberry blonde hair. It worked .Now that I'm older I've substituted navy blue for black because it is slimming without being as harsh. Looks better with my shorter more red brown hair now.
Agree that Clark's has excellent style options and they are definitely comfortable shoes. Disagree about wearing all black. Im a New Yorker -- we love our all black! May not work for everyone but it's definitely great for those of us who need a slimmer look. Re the hair, I would add the following tip: Many Caucasian newswomen go blonder as they age: Barbara Walters, Mika Brzezinski, etc. If blonde is not your thing, fine, but salt and pepper can look very chic. Avoid that "shoe polish black" look. It's often too stark on pale skin.
I am 72 years old. I have not colored my hair and even tie it a bun now. I wear my clothes beautifully. Though am faired skinned black and brown are not my color. I love the way I look. And, the fewer times I go out due to the pandemic, I get lots of compliment which includes my 75 year old husband and 40 year old son.
@@StylebySheila I still wear classic and "natural" clothes that I have had for many years -- especially brands like Pendleton. As was said previously, a high quality fabric that has been well-taken care of in a classic style is a great backdrop for newer accessories.
Brand new to your channel, this’ll this is the first video I’ve watched. Very good information. I declutter, however it is difficult parting ways with fav items that haven’t been worn in a very long time. I look forward to viewing more videos of yours. Stay well🌸
Yes but... that's a lot of things to get rid of, and when you think about the huge environmental cost of textile production and fashion, you think twice about what you do
The very best thing you can do for yourself to NOT look older and is beneficial as well, is to keep your weight at a normal level. Weight adds years to a person for sure
If you’ve got dropped in steps you cannot wear any different shoes upset trainers boots you got worse to slip on shoes you’ve got insteps in your shoes you cannot walk properly without you in steps so you’re not very helpful to us closer as it’s your feet problem where a nice pair of ear boots for that two hours if you can walk in them and that’s it long boots and get away with them appear flat long bootsVery difficult for people have got dropped incept because I could never really dress up because I can’t wear the white right shoes slip on shoes that I want to choose all she’s got Scott straps around the ankles around the foot to it keeps on the thought was have to wear trainers or boots or lace up shoes that’s the least that’s the trainers as a pair of black shoes are brown bear laceups was a very elegant are there are you trying to dress up
Great Video Sheila! Here is a question for you. Black was a staple and although it still is I use lots of color with it. But here is the question. What do you recommend to women over 50 with long hair who want to and need to pull it back if you don't use a barrette?
When I said don't wear barrettes I meant the type that are used as an accessory rather than for function. They're very fashionable for young women right now - that type. When you pull your hair back use hair accessories that are meant just for that but don't really stand out. It's too bad I couldn't use photos here. :) I hope this helps
@@joannthompson4410 I disagree that getting a haircut is the answer to this question. During the pandemic I have let my short hair (which has been turning grey -- really white -- around my face for years) grow quite long. I have used clear hair combs to keep my curly hair out of my face, and they barely show since my hair often covers them up. It has been really fun to change my hair style after over 40 years of pretty short curly hair. It is refreshing!
Great tips - thank you! I stopped wearing black last year and I feel like I look much better and young3r. And now that I've been on a black diet for so long, if I put it on now, I feel depressed. Colour really does make a difference along with hem length, etc as you mentioned in your video. You look great by the way - very stylish.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed watching. I love the classic black! I have many health issues including circulation and rheumatoid arthritis that really limit what I can wear on my legs - (I'm 59, and could lose 10 lbs) But I keep moving, I hike, stretch, and eat a balanced diet. However, jeans make my legs ache! So, for comfort I wear yoga pants. (dresses are not an option, I have some intermittent swelling in my legs and ankles) I wear my black foundation and then bring color into my blouses, jackets, sweaters, scarves, or earrings! Lots of beautiful colors! Sometimes we have to dress to accommodate pain from medical issues. But find a colorful way to do it and I still feel stylish!
I disagree. I wear pants only for hiking and Yoga. For me, a skirt that is just below the knee and that flips out in its lower half is as young a look as you can get and also very comfortable. I have that style in many colors and feel great wearing any of them with a jacket appropriate for the occasion. When I wear pants, I definitely look older and frumpier no matter what the cut or style of the pant. Most importantly, we must feel good in what we wear and how it looks on us.
Some things you said are true and some of your ideas are not. You showed pointed shoes. That is a big No! No! Our feet are rounded not pointed. Anyone who wears pointed shoes of any type will suffer dearly as they age. The shoes will cripple their feet. If you don't believe me, talk to a podiatrist. Please don't patronize what can harm people. You talk about outdated clothes. This is the time to hang-on-to those outdated clothes and cherish them. They are of good quality and don't exist anymore. Especially, expensive and appropriate clothing. All one needs to do is add a pretty pin or brooch or a nice necklace to a beautiful suit jacket even if it's over 20 years old. Clothes today are thin, flimsy, cheap looking and transparent. Don't tell people to throw out good quality clothing that will most likely never exist anymore. So many people seem to be dressing too casual and sloppy. I will not take all of you advice. I do what's best for me and how I look in my clothing even if as you say, it is outdated.
Thanks for watching. My intention is to help. When it comes to footwear I know women first want to be comfortable and they also want to look good. I realize many women have problems with their feet and those women aren't going to wear a pointed - toe if it's uncomfortable. Also, there are different variations of pointed-toe shoes and there are also women who have worn pointed-toe shoes for many years with no problems. There are also women who have never worn a pump or a pointed-toe and still have problems with their feet. I agree, it is difficult to find good quality clothes but they do still exist. When you wear outdated styles you run the risk of being seen as being outdated overall. For some women this doesn't matter, but if you're still in the workforce, in business or you're concerned about your image, you don't want to appear that you're behind the times. Whether we like it or not we are judged based on our appearance. These tips are only suggestions. I also suggest women take what resonates and leave what doesn't. The beauty of life is we're all different and most of us are free to choose what we wear. 🙂
Why do people say “ God bless you” when one tells them their age? It’s almost as if they think it’s amazing one is “Still on the right side of The Grass” !! We are not in the Middle Ages any more where the life expectancy was 30yrs!!!
The sweater tip I found most helpful. But I'm a little puzzled by all the proud or defensive comments from women who have no desire to improve their image. Why, then, did they even bother to watch this video?
Some of the styles are on the frumpy side but for the most part they are great (maybe more classic) and very good quality. Maybe they're different in the UK.
I'm pushing 80 and your blouse is Henny. Who wears skirts? We wear pants...jeans...as long as it isn't trying to look sexy we can wear it. Ever hear of SKETVHERS?
Thanks so much for sharing some great tips! I've come to realize how much better I feel when wearing color that works with my skin undertone, so I'm trying to do away with so many of the black, brown and grey clothes in my closet. And yes, I find it hard to get rid of older clothes that I still love, but I'm trying to donate more often!
Very good advice! A good title for this video would be, " How not to look frumpy. " My tip to looking younger: have a good cosmetic surgeon! But, that's just my opinion.
I have flat feet that pronate and had surgery that failed. I buy excellent quality shoes, and shoes made for problem feet. I feel like I always look frumpy in a dress. I long to wear dresses again but it is very hard to find attractive shoes to wear with dresses. I buy Vionic, KURU, Orthodic, etc. Clarks are not comfortable to me, I cannot wear a heel, not a wedge, kitten, or low vamp. Some people have balance problems and can only wear flats, thank goodness I don't but the pronation won't allow me to wear even the lowest heal, and not all flats. What are your suggestions for us who can only wear flat, comfortable shoes with wide, rounded toes? Obviously, you have not had bad feet. I also have plantar fasciitis that acts up for months at a time. I would love your ideas. I am also 5'3", which makes it harder to look nice in a dress and flats.
Thank you for your comment. The most important thing is to feel good and wearing uncomfortable shoes certainly won't make that happen. I know there are women who have problems with their feet and can only wear certain shoes. I might have mentioned that in this video, if not, it was in another one. What to do? Again, this answer is in generalities because I don't know anything about you and we are all as unique as our fingerprints. Here are a couple of options: You can wear dresses that end at the knee or an inch above the knee - this is the most flattering length for flats. Or, wear maxi dresses. Dresses that touch the floor. I know you might think you can't do that because you're 5' 3" but long dresses will make you look taller. It's the dresses that end at the ankle that shorten. I am doing a Q and A video in the new year and I think this is a very good question that many women want answered. I will answer this question and give visuals as well as "If this, then that" type of info. So, stay tuned for that.
The best fashion is when where you feel comfortable. Honest to thyself. Sound mind and develop self-confidence. Act your age to gain respect. (KISS) keep it simple and sofisticated.
Which tip are you most likely to use?
@@KaremMieses That is sooo good to hear,
Skirt length
@@MeticulouslyOrganisedByBron Great! It certainly makes a big difference.

Not many replys from over eighties. I am nearly 82 years of age, still wear jeans and feel really good in them. One can almost wear anything with jeans. Even a classy blouse. Not everyone over 80 feels old. And 80 is not ancient, or is it. NOT FOR ME. Good video.
That's great to hear. Age is a state of mind.
Yeah! Bless you. So happy you are still looking so beautiful!!! 💐🙏🤗💖❤🎈👏👏👏👏🙌🙌
@@StylebySheila For sure
Such an inspiring comment. Bless you 🥰
Another 80 year old that agrees with you.
I’m 68 and the best part of getting older is realizing I don’t have to dress for anyone but myself.
What's wrong with getting older. Getting older is a blessing. I don't want to go back to my younger days. I am growing older gracefully and enjoying every minute of it. My kids are grown, I know who I am now and what I want , I am confident and at peace now. I like looking nice and well put together but u can have that by loving yourself and accepting who you are.
Aging is a gift from GOD. Many never make it.
I agree, life is a joy embrace it. This video is about not about trying to look younger it's about not looking older than your age.

Dyeing your hair black is super aging. It makes you look haggard. Our skin and eyes and hair naturally fade, so it’s time to go lighter and/or get highlights.
You're right, as we age our skin changes and dark colours look harsh against our skin.
Then gorgeous Monica Belucci doesn’t look good with dark long hair after 50?
I totally agree with Your comment missmayflower !!
What if you have naturally dark black hair?
I am 58 and I recently asked my tailor to make me 2 high rise pants. I was so tired of the low rise. I believe it takes away from our feminity. Now I feel so confident and beautiful in my high rise pants with fashionable blouses.

You are so welcome!
When you age it's terrific. You care less about looking young and you embrace your age with everything it is, confidence experience and knowledge!
Absolutely!
What if as an African American your skin is already light skinned and skintone doesn't change after 60?
If your skin tone stays the same you won't need to make any changes.
Thanks, Sheila!!

I'm nearly 50 . But I have never gone for fashion. I've always chosen clothes I like which suit my body shape . The only thing I've change is the length. Ie no more mini skirts . My daughter & my mother are always borrowing my clothes . Style & elegance is the way to go . I do sometimes wear hair clips . To style my hair . But they are always the colour of my hair & never more then one
Yes! I love my Clark shoes. I buy whatever I can find in my size.
I am 63 I wear whatever I want not what everyone thinks I should wear clothes and shoes should fit and you should feel comfortable with them
Those of us with Morton's neuroma cannot wear heels at all, ever again. I wore heels every week day for 25 years and then developed this very painful condition! It's pure torture and there is no treatment.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I've never heard of that condition. Heels certainly aren't worth being in pain. Hopefully someone in the medical field will find a solution for that. Sending you love.
You have a very put together look and some great tips here, as well! Turning 50 in December and trying to learn to navigate these new waters! Thank you so much!
Thank you! I'm happy you liked the tips. Turning 50 - it only gets better from here. :)
Hello beautiful how are you doing today I hope you are having a nice day off do tell me how is health and work !!!
Wearing all black depends on your skin tone.
I’m 68 and I feel like I’m a pretty youthful looking 68. I agreed with everything you said, Except for not dressing in all black. I’m a redhead, and I have a couple of all black dresses, and I have to say without seeming conceited, I look pretty darn good wearing them.
I also wear a very light brown shade under my bottom lashes, not Inside the waterline. I also smudge it and I think it looks nice.
These are general guidelines so they won't be suitable for everyone. If you feel good wearing black that's all that matters.
Redheads or blondes look fabulous in "little black dresses" no matter the age. Just so long as it's not an everyday uniform. When we women wear it all the time, it gets to be boring looking. Or, you wonder why that's all the person wears! I remember that on a couple of women in their 60's when I was 18-20 years old. One of the real reasons for wearing all black though is we think it makes us look slimmer. Ah, we can't hide the fact we've gained weight. It still shows . . . unfortunately.
@@nancydublin9666 You're right, many women wear black because it's slimming and it's also very easy to find.
@@StylebySheila Yep, easier to dress when everything is black or black and white.. Need only one or two pairs of shoes (one tennies and one leather) and saves a lot of time creating "outfits."
Totally agree that black against the skin isn't a good look.I stopped coloring my hair but still maintain it with a good cut. Yes, a good bra is essential. I stopped wearing eyeliner...best decision ever--at least for me.
Lovely!
I've always worn jeans and still will there's nothing wrong with them they been out longer than you have so people can ware what they want I know someone in her 80is who wears them a loves yhem
I agree. Jeans are great for any age.
Black clothes and bag makes you look older? what? that's the one color that makes me look and feel sexier than any other color.... white clothes actually makes me look fat and older....so I disagree wirh you on this video
Whatever makes you feel good - is best for you. There's no one thing that fits everyone. These are guidelines that are good for most women.
Nah. All black that is all high quality is never wrong.
I'm 60 and I've realized that I won't be as slim as I was when I was younger. But I have always been a rocker and I won't change my style just because of my age. So I'm gonna keep my superlong hair and band t-shirts. But I'm gonna get a perfect bra, and maybe stop coloring my now white hair black, maybe choose a light brown color instead
Me, at 64, I don’t care. I like solids and not too much make-up. Skin cream and good hygiene. Tunics and leggings are my choice of casual wear.
That's great.
Clark’s is my favorite brand of shoe now (at 67) and when I was in my 20’s ~ wonderfully made, comfortable & stylish too.
Yes, they are lovely shoes.
And unmatched customer service.
Sadly the quality of Clark's is not as good. I bought a pair of sandals and wore them twice and the strap came out of the footbed. Got it repaired. Now the same thing has happened to the other sandal.
Thanks! I AM 67 I clean my closet yearly and I have a beautiful daughter & granddaughter who help me to look nice. But you did help hopefully other women is watching you also...THANKS
You're welcome. It's very nice to have help.
Great advice Sheila , thank you and I like the way you get on with tutorial immediately. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
So practical. Thank you. You’re very professional!
Thank you, I appreciate that.
The world is so youth obsessed, I am 43 & I'm going to age graceful. I'm not trying to hold on to youth, I just want to be healthy & look my best. There is no shame in getting older, a lot of ppl aren't blessed enough to live .. to be old. I look forward to sharing my life experience & knowledge with younger ppl.
👍I LOVE LOVE! It's truly a helpful tips to keep us looking younger
Absolutely!! So happy you liked it.
Maybe some things make me look older, but I like what I like. I’m religious, so my skirts are staying mid-calf or longer. Only shoes I can wear are frumpy. Too bad. I have arthritis and can’t wear any heel whatsoever. I wear Birkenstock’s, Earth Shoes, clog style Crocs. I don’t wear makeup, never have. My hair is natural, brown with grey and reddish blonde. I wear it in a loose bun held with combs instead of barrettes. With me, the rule is, “What you see is what you get. Take me or leave me. Your choice!”
That's great, you know what you like and what you want. That's the main thing. :)
I love that attitude.. their is nothing wrong with growing older graceful & being yourself
same, i wear what i want and dont care if its not for my age, sometimes i wear tons of makeup other days shorts and no makeup at all, i dont care, i dress for me and what i feel like , i dont care to impress anyone, i love feeling like this now that im older
Joan Collins has the worst eye makeup. Too heavy and dark. I'd like to see her get a makeover.
I haven't seen her for years. Maybe she has changed her makeup.
Remember bras are not imortal!!!
I think those little short sweaters are so dating, I'm older and wouldn't be caught in one. Some kind of short wrap or motto jacket would be better.
Wear what makes you happy. That's the key.
Sheila alley you are awesome and I love this video. Clark's rock !!!
Thanks
People are so concerned about what people think. Wear whatever make you happy. If you don't want someone to give you tips on what to wear or not wear just keep doing what you're doing.
I agree.🙂
How many times did she say "wear something stylish" and not say what that means. I'm 76 and still wearing jeans and shirts from highschool. Farm is farm. Nobody cares what you wear as long as you are decently covered.
Yes ! Small town / country lady of 71 here - no one is going to be impressed by what I wear to town when I load up the dogs in my Jeep / go buy groceries / landscape supplies / join gal pals at the local lunch spot , etc.. Clean jeans , cute top & a bright smile go a long way ! ( And yes , we know how to dress appropriately for church too ! )😀
I used to wear a lot of black when I was in my 40s and had long strawberry blonde hair. It worked .Now that I'm older I've substituted navy blue for black because it is slimming without being as harsh.
Looks better with my shorter more red brown hair now.
That's great!
Agree that Clark's has excellent style options and they are definitely comfortable shoes. Disagree about wearing all black. Im a New Yorker -- we love our all black! May not work for everyone but it's definitely great for those of us who need a slimmer look. Re the hair, I would add the following tip: Many Caucasian newswomen go blonder as they age: Barbara Walters, Mika Brzezinski, etc. If blonde is not your thing, fine, but salt and pepper can look very chic. Avoid that "shoe polish black" look. It's often too stark on pale skin.
I ❤️ black clothing I have slot if black clothes it's always my go to pieces ty
I am 72 years old. I have not colored my hair and even tie it a bun now. I wear my clothes beautifully. Though am faired skinned black and brown are not my color. I love the way I look. And, the fewer times I go out due to the pandemic, I get lots of compliment which includes my 75 year old husband and 40 year old son.
I still have things from 20 yrs ago. Lol
You're not alone. Are you planning to keep those items? Are they still working for you?
@@StylebySheila I still wear classic and "natural" clothes that I have had for many years -- especially brands like Pendleton. As was said previously, a high quality fabric that has been well-taken care of in a classic style is a great backdrop for newer accessories.
This is the over 50 channel I have been lookin for . Your channel is the best. 🙏❤️
Thanks! I'm happy you like it.
I think this author's hair color is tooo dark
So true thanks
Brand new to your channel, this’ll this is the first video I’ve watched. Very good information. I declutter, however it is difficult parting ways with fav items that haven’t been worn in a very long time. I look forward to viewing more videos of yours. Stay well🌸
Thanks, I'm all about comfortable clothing. 😉✌️😊🌈🙏✝️🌹❤️
Perfect!
Why is your hair black, shouldn’t you lighten a bit?
No, not yet.
Lipliner is also outdated and very aging.
It can be depending on how it's applied.
Hello beautiful how are you doing today I hope you are having a nice day off do tell me how is health and work !!!
Yes but... that's a lot of things to get rid of, and when you think about the huge environmental cost of textile production and fashion, you think twice about what you do
XERO shoes are unisex, made for large feet and are comfortable
I'm always emptying my wardrobe, thanks for the tips :)
You're so welcome!
The very best thing you can do for yourself to NOT look older and is beneficial as well, is to keep your weight at a normal level. Weight adds years to a person for sure
At a certain point it does.
Great tips thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
I am 87 yrs old, don’t look old and don’t feel old, I am very well put together at all times,yes I hurt and walk with a decorated cane
That's wonderful. Age is about how you feel.
You forget to mention to smile.coz smile makes you prettier and younger
Great tips here, but this lady needs to soften her hair color. The black dye is making her look old.
What type of shoes do you recommend for diabetics wear with problem feet that are stylish?
I love how accurate these tips are! Lovely outfit
Thank you so much!! I'm happy you like them.
If you’ve got dropped in steps you cannot wear any different shoes upset trainers boots you got worse to slip on shoes you’ve got insteps in your shoes you cannot walk properly without you in steps so you’re not very helpful to us closer as it’s your feet problem where a nice pair of ear boots for that two hours if you can walk in them and that’s it long boots and get away with them appear flat long bootsVery difficult for people have got dropped incept because I could never really dress up because I can’t wear the white right shoes slip on shoes that I want to choose all she’s got Scott straps around the ankles around the foot to it keeps on the thought was have to wear trainers or boots or lace up shoes that’s the least that’s the trainers as a pair of black shoes are brown bear laceups was a very elegant are there are you trying to dress up
Great Video Sheila! Here is a question for you. Black was a staple and although it still is I use lots of color with it. But here is the question. What do you recommend to women over 50 with long hair who want to and need to pull it back if you don't use a barrette?
When I said don't wear barrettes I meant the type that are used as an accessory rather than for function. They're very fashionable for young women right now - that type. When you pull your hair back use hair accessories that are meant just for that but don't really stand out. It's too bad I couldn't use photos here. :) I hope this helps
@@StylebySheila Thanks - I understand and that helps.
Hello beautiful how are you doing today I hope you are having a nice day off do tell me how is health and work !!!
Get a hair cut!!!!
@@joannthompson4410 I disagree that getting a haircut is the answer to this question. During the pandemic I have let my short hair (which has been turning grey -- really white -- around my face for years) grow quite long. I have used clear hair combs to keep my curly hair out of my face, and they barely show since my hair often covers them up. It has been really fun to change my hair style after over 40 years of pretty short curly hair. It is refreshing!
Great video verry informative. Thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Great tips - thank you! I stopped wearing black last year and I feel like I look much better and young3r. And now that I've been on a black diet for so long, if I put it on now, I feel depressed. Colour really does make a difference along with hem length, etc as you mentioned in your video. You look great by the way - very stylish.
Thank You! I'm happy to hear you've ditched black.
Hello beautiful how are you doing today I hope you are having a nice day off do tell me how is health and work !!!
I agree with you if black is worn too much. It can depress one without even realizing it!
Thanks for the video.
I enjoyed watching.
I love the classic black!
I have many health issues including circulation and rheumatoid arthritis that really limit what I can wear on my legs - (I'm 59, and could lose 10 lbs)
But I keep moving, I hike, stretch, and eat a balanced diet.
However, jeans make my legs ache!
So, for comfort I wear yoga pants.
(dresses are not an option, I have some intermittent swelling in my legs and ankles)
I wear my black foundation and then bring color into my blouses, jackets, sweaters, scarves, or earrings!
Lots of beautiful colors!
Sometimes we have to dress to accommodate pain from medical issues.
But find a colorful way to do it and I still feel stylish!
Im sorry, but I think jet black dyed hair is very aging if one is over a certain age
Did I find you Helpful! Yes I sure did! Thank You so Very Much 🥰
You are so welcome!
The bra tip is the best one.
Thanks.
Another great video. You look amazing in that dark pink!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh thank you! Ohhh, I love pink.
Thanks i am 59yrs but has flat buttocks what should wear thanks
Thanks Margaret, I will add this to my Q & A video in the new year.
I love that she dives into the subject right in.
Thank you .I am.53 looks 30 try to keep looking great.
That's great!
I think skirts apart from knee length pencil ones, make most older women look frumpy , trousers , jeans and copped pants look much younger.
It all depends on how it's worn.
I disagree. I wear pants only for hiking and Yoga. For me, a skirt that is just below the knee and that flips out in its lower half is as young a look as you can get and also very comfortable. I have that style in many colors and feel great wearing any of them with a jacket appropriate for the occasion. When I wear pants, I definitely look older and frumpier no matter what the cut or style of the pant. Most importantly, we must feel good in what we wear and how it looks on us.
Some things you said are true and some of your ideas are not. You showed pointed shoes. That is a big No! No! Our feet are rounded not pointed. Anyone who wears pointed shoes of any type will suffer dearly as they age. The shoes will cripple their feet. If you don't believe me, talk to a podiatrist. Please don't patronize what can harm people.
You talk about outdated clothes. This is the time to hang-on-to those outdated clothes and cherish them. They are of good quality and don't exist anymore. Especially, expensive and appropriate clothing. All one needs to do is add a pretty pin or brooch or a nice necklace to a beautiful suit jacket even if it's over 20 years old. Clothes today are thin, flimsy, cheap looking and transparent. Don't tell people to throw out good quality clothing that will most likely never exist anymore. So many people seem to be dressing too casual and sloppy. I will not take all of you advice. I do what's best for me and how I look in my clothing even if as you say, it is outdated.
Thanks for watching. My intention is to help. When it comes to footwear I know women first want to be comfortable and they also want to look good. I realize many women have problems with their feet and those women aren't going to wear a pointed - toe if it's uncomfortable. Also, there are different variations of pointed-toe shoes and there are also women who have worn pointed-toe shoes for many years with no problems. There are also women who have never worn a pump or a pointed-toe and still have problems with their feet. I agree, it is difficult to find good quality clothes but they do still exist. When you wear outdated styles you run the risk of being seen as being outdated overall. For some women this doesn't matter, but if you're still in the workforce, in business or you're concerned about your image, you don't want to appear that you're behind the times. Whether we like it or not we are judged based on our appearance. These tips are only suggestions. I also suggest women take what resonates and leave what doesn't. The beauty of life is we're all different and most of us are free to choose what we wear. 🙂
Why do people say “ God bless you” when one tells them their age? It’s almost as if they think it’s amazing one is “Still on the right side of The Grass” !! We are not in the Middle Ages any more where the life expectancy was 30yrs!!!
I agree, not exactly a good response to someone's age.
I'm from Philippines and new subscriber. 64 yrs old
Welcome!
Great tips, cant' wait to share with my mom.
Please do! Your mom will love it.
The sweater tip I found most helpful. But I'm a little puzzled by all the proud or defensive comments from women who have no desire to improve their image. Why, then, did they even bother to watch this video?
Thank you, I'm happy it helped. It puzzles me as well but that's the way it is. 🙂
No… not Clarks shoes - they are seriously frumpy &, in the UK, not the best quality.
Some of the styles are on the frumpy side but for the most part they are great (maybe more classic) and very good quality. Maybe they're different in the UK.
@@StylebySheila ooó
Great advices but its a shame that the black box with the writings block the picture
I don't know what black box you mean.
Maybe skip the makeup. We only paint dead things like wood and paper. Think about it. You have some good tips with color.
Makeup (grooming) is the finishing touch.
I wear my hair up and i know it makes me look older 😢
I'm pushing 80 and your blouse is Henny. Who wears skirts? We wear pants...jeans...as long as it isn't trying to look sexy we can wear it. Ever hear of SKETVHERS?
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Thanks so much for sharing some great tips! I've come to realize how much better I feel when wearing color that works with my skin undertone, so I'm trying to do away with so many of the black, brown and grey clothes in my closet. And yes, I find it hard to get rid of older clothes that I still love, but I'm trying to donate more often!
You're welcome. It sounds like you're on the right track. :)
I LIKE EVERY THING U SAID AND U GET TO THE POINT NOT TELL SOMETHING THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VIDEO. THANKS EVA HILL
Thanks.
These are great tips, some I haven't thought of!
Glad it was helpful!
Dress someone who is short and has a big tummy...then, I'll be impressed
Interesting.
I love frumpy. It's what I feel best in.😅
That's great, feeling your best is most important.
Very good advice! A good title for this video would be, " How not to look frumpy. " My tip to looking younger: have a good cosmetic surgeon! But, that's just my opinion.
Yes, it would be. A cosmetic surgeon would do the trick.
Hi Sheila...yes your video was very helpful. Thanks 👍
You’re welcome 😊
Really helpful thanks for helping us with great practical advice 🥰
You are so welcome!
I have flat feet that pronate and had surgery that failed. I buy excellent quality shoes, and shoes made for problem feet. I feel like I always look frumpy in a dress. I long to wear dresses again but it is very hard to find attractive shoes to wear with dresses. I buy Vionic, KURU, Orthodic, etc. Clarks are not comfortable to me, I cannot wear a heel, not a wedge, kitten, or low vamp. Some people have balance problems and can only wear flats, thank goodness I don't but the pronation won't allow me to wear even the lowest heal, and not all flats. What are your suggestions for us who can only wear flat, comfortable shoes with wide, rounded toes? Obviously, you have not had bad feet. I also have plantar fasciitis that acts up for months at a time. I would love your ideas. I am also 5'3", which makes it harder to look nice in a dress and flats.
Thank you for your comment. The most important thing is to feel good and wearing uncomfortable shoes certainly won't make that happen. I know there are women who have problems with their feet and can only wear certain shoes. I might have mentioned that in this video, if not, it was in another one. What to do? Again, this answer is in generalities because I don't know anything about you and we are all as unique as our fingerprints. Here are a couple of options: You can wear dresses that end at the knee or an inch above the knee - this is the most flattering length for flats. Or, wear maxi dresses. Dresses that touch the floor. I know you might think you can't do that because you're 5' 3" but long dresses will make you look taller. It's the dresses that end at the ankle that shorten. I am doing a Q and A video in the new year and I think this is a very good question that many women want answered. I will answer this question and give visuals as well as "If this, then that" type of info. So, stay tuned for that.
❤️👍❤️👍👍👍
Thank you i think ill take up some of the dresses i have made but i do need to cover me arthritic knees...they really are misshapen
You're welcome. If you'd like to cover your knees a midi or maxi dress will work. Summer is a perfect time to try dresses with sandals.
On another channel they suggested not wearing the style blouse you are wearing today as out of style.
The video was made three years ago. However, the top is a classic style, which means, although the style might not be trending it is okay to wear
The best fashion is when where you feel comfortable. Honest to thyself. Sound mind and develop self-confidence. Act your age to gain respect.
(KISS) keep it simple and sofisticated.
I like that KISS method.
I have never been overly stylish and usually behind! Oops! Old and frumpy is probably my description! 🙄
Just because you aren't overly stylish doesn't mean you're frumpy.
