      We should do all those things at any age, except the grandkids if you have none. The video gives excellent advice if you also like to look younger and look your best. That doesn’t include just wearing whatever you like without a clue. Being mindful and making good choices when purchasing clothes is actually the opposite of shallow consumerism.

They are large soft pink, coral roses on turquoise background. Wear with pretty lacey shawl cover.

Beige…also a no no unless you want to look REALLY old.

      Certain body types have to watch with the big white button down shirt. Women with rectangle or apple body shapes and short necks can look very boxy and “butch” in shirts like that. Also, short women can look like the little girl dressing in her parent’s clothing because the oversized shirt would overwhelm her.

As a 40+ woman I stick with clothes I love, and which flatter me. I am not a slave to trends that others dictate.

    I had a friend- she was about 20 years older than me- and whenever you dropped in unannounced ( my ex was a fan of that) she always looked wonderful.she had spent her entire career as a corporate secretary and was still dressing wonderfully. I could never do that because I do too many things that get me dirty on a daily basis. She had someone to clean her house, do her gardening, etc. I admired her style greatly, but if you “ drop in” on me- you get what you get!

Now that I’m retired my wardrobe is jeans and tee shirts, except for my peasant skirt and a long sleeve fitted tee and low heels for church. That’s it. I’m 71 and have no intention of marrying again because guys my age just want someone to take care of them. I’ve cared for my kids, my dogs, my cats, my horses, my badly injured ex husband who later left me and I just want to take care of myself now. I have house plants now and I don’t even like caring for them. lol. IM FREE and I rarely even wear makeup because I have good skin. I wear my pierced earrings and my Russian orthodox cross and st. Vladomyr medal. I hate wearing any other jewelry.

    On hot summer days tuniques are way more comfortable than shirts with a collar. There are different styles and patterns and so one can find her favorite piece. As an 73 old woman of a normal body size I‘ve been wearing tuniques for at least 25 years on hot summer days. Combined with light coloured linen pants or trousers.

    Thanks for the video!Love these types of videos. I am guilty of having abstract patterned palazzo pants in my wardrobe and tunics. I love Tory Burch tunics and tend to think of them as beautiful classics but you are probably right they are not on trend. The thing with the white oversized shirt that you showed at 3:02 is it looks very chic in the photo. The model is tall, slim and in elegant interior and the shirt is perfectly pressed. What would it look like on someone much shorter than has driven a car, sat down, eaten a meal, basically worn it for 5 hours plus? I bet the person would look like they slept under a bridge it would be such a rumpled mess!

    FYIa: Difference between button down and button up (aka button front) is button down refers to a type of collar. The collar is held down by buttons. If it has buttons down the front, but the collar isn’t buttoned down, call it button up.

    Personally as a size 8/10 I like nothing better than a well cut pair of bright patterned trousers and a crisp white, black or navy shirt OR a well cut bright floral shirt with a white, navy or cream trouser . I would never wear a t-shirt type top and what I believe at 65 is that I don't want to wear what is 'in fashion', whatever that may be I want to look simple, classic, and elegant but above all to feel comfortable and not worrying whether others are thinking she is out of fashion.

    I laughed all the way through this video. I'm in this general age group (nearly 70) and agree with almost all the observations. In re: capris. I've begun wearing them, but there's a trick to doing it. The hem should not hit at the fullest part of the calf (a good rule for skirts, too!) If they do, cuff them a bit to bring the length slightly below your knee, or find a pair that that's a bit longer that hits between the ankle and the calf. My favorite for summer is white or light khaki, worn with a button-down short-sleeve blouse. Beige ballet flats or dressier sandals work best with them. Avoid those old-lady orthopedic sandals, though, especially black.

    First time watcher. Great video! I keep hearing too that capris are coming back. As someone who just turned 59 a few days ago, I have worn them before but I will never wear them again. I think they make older women look frumpy. I do like an ankle or 7/8 pant though to show just a bit of ankle and showcase a cute shoe but that is no for me to anything that is higher up on the leg. I also say no to tunics and leggings. I never owned a cold shoulder top as I always thought they looked silly. I do have a cowl neck top that I like but I usually only wear it around home or walking in the neighborhood. I like the vest (or waistcoat as you call it) but I feel they are waaaay too popular. I'm like that. When something gets too popular and everyone is wearing it, I'm out. I won't wear it or if I do, I will wear it differently. As I got older, I started to like doing my own thing and having my own style whereas when I was younger, I wore what everyone else did. That being said, I do like to follow and adopt some of the trends. That way I don't look outdated but I'm not too trendy wearing the latest style of everything. For example, I'm wearing wider legged jeans and straight legged jeans now and I don't wear skinny jeans anymore. I really do love vests and have a couple from about 15 years ago hanging in my closet. I used to wear them with dress shorts and a blouse to the office back in the day. It was my look at that time and I loved it. I'll wait until the trend dies and then I'll pull mine out again. I like your hair - it is very cute. I just subscribed. 🙂

    I’m tall. Also, long-waisted. Too long-waisted. This means each and every top I try on looks too short on me. I’m sort of stuck with tunics to get enough length. Button down shirts are too hot in summer where I live. Also, many times, they have length but the bottom buttons end far too high in front. It’s an issue. Oh well, back to old lady tunics.

I have rosy cheeks and good hair. Yes, I colour it now! Grey makes folk look OLD! My hair is still my young colour. That’s what makes me feel good. Stop worrying about what you look like.

      “Grey makes folk look OLD.” “Stop worrying about what you look like.” Sorry, but I couldn’t help but burst out laughing at those two comments!😂😂😂. A little hypocritical don’t you think? My hair is jet black with large, natural silver white streaks running through it, and nobody has ever guessed my true age of 53, instead they think I am much younger, but I am blessed with wrinkle free, olive Mediterranean skin, and model for our town’s clothing shops, so I do look fashionable, and maybe that helps. Just be yourself, whatever that version may be, and let others do whatever it is that makes them feel beautiful and confident. I choose to age gracefully, but others may choose to get a little help along the way, and that is ok too!

    I was sleeping on the button-down shirts because I did not know that you could get the fit and flare button-down shirt, which is better for my body type than a traditional boxy, button-down shirt. I’m loving my fit and flare, flowy, button-down shirts, and shirt dresses. You’re right they look so much better than a tunic. The only way you can look modern in a tunic is to belt it.

    I agree with everything you said. Some stores geared toward mature women sell just awful clothing. They are not doing women any favors. It’s as if they hate women. ie Chico’s and even Talbots sell some clothes you should say away from. Although Talbots does sell some nice pieces when they stick to the classics.

I will though when they are back in fashion. I have seen one twin set this spring and I was so surprised because they went out of style years ago. I did not buy it just for public information. I never liked them when they were in style. No, hiking shorts were never in style. 😅

My husband now knows after 30 years of living with me. I don’t go out of the house without looking my best, even if I’m going to the grocery store. My mother would put a scarf over her rollers to go to the grocery store and I used to say mom please don’t go out looking like that. It was the 50s so every mother did that.😂😂😂

    I've ditched the tunics, all florals & all cold shoulder. replaced with solids in my best colors jewel tones, in quality fabric. Deep V, oversized tops over shorts or capris. My legs are thin my calves are thin & tan & I always wear with pointy toe flats. Bigger jewelry & handbags with hardware. Ladies take the time to figure out what looks great on you - and only keep items that make you feel fantastic. I don't care as much to look younger, but to look current . And it takes the wisdom & grace of older age to finally wear big jewelry- its not for the kids ❤

    I don't wear anything "trendy" or "in style." I don't look out of place. I'm 74 years old. If a garment is well designed, with a good cut in a lovely fabric, you will always look good. Modesty helps; I've always dressed modestly anyway, but I'm not a prude. A garment that is a classic cut, a lovely fabric, and that fits well will suit any age. I spend a lot of time looking to old, old style magazines, Vogue, Delineator, etc., all the way back to the turn of the last century. A classic style done properly, good cut, good fit and good fabric, will always top any "trend" any day. With that you don't have to try to not look old.

  • @evaboldt653
    @evaboldt653 3 месяца назад +7

    Pay attention to the type of shirt or blouse you wear. I see so many influencers rolling or bunching up long sleeves, and tying or tucking the front of a long shirt. DON'T DO THAT! It will never sit right on you. Buy a properly shaped blouse with darts, an actual hem, and 3/4 length sleeves that you don't need to roll up. These are harder to find and usually more expensive, but it is so worth it.

    • @dawnt5587
      @dawnt5587 3 месяца назад +6

      3/4 length sleeves are outdated. The current style is to roll up the sleeve.

    • @evaboldt653
      @evaboldt653 3 месяца назад +6

      ​@dawnt5587 @dawnt5587 Yes, you are correct. As I said, so many influencers are doing that. And as I suggest, DON'T DO that. It is better to look great than to follow trends...in particular like rolling back long sleeves, using elastic bands on long sleeves, and tying or tucking longer shirt style tops. Go against the trends and hacks and do what actually looks good ... wear a properly made shirt or blouse with a finished sleeve and bottom hem at a flattering length ... SOOO much more flattering and not trendy. A well made blouse with a collar and shoulder seams that sit well will last for years and look great.

      I guess it’s all a question of personal preference/style and body shape etc. I much prefer rolling up my sleeves and don’t like 3/4 length sleeves. For most occasions I like the more casual look (because of my lifestyle)… spent so many years in tailored blouses etc. I do wear short sleeved shirts in the summer for those hot days. Your suggestions would certainly work best for those wanting a more tailored look.

    Florals done right are still good. I have a navy linen dress with large roses and its beautiful. Theres not too many flowers, they're quite muted and the navy keeps it chic. What I can't do anymore, and maybe I never could, is busy little florals. I think it depends on your style essence too.
    What I'm leaning towards now is some bright pops of colour and something a bit edgy, a bit deconstructed. I'm looking into those Zsiska necklaces!

      To make the Pebble Zsiska necklace , keep the tie strands hanging down the front . I’ve seen others do that and I’m going to start as I have an edgy nature too. I wore their flora necklace with a leather jacket and camo cargo pants. I like combining elements like that.
