Thank you for the refresher of the classic rules of dressing. My mother only updated her wardrobe 2 times a year, and was always the best dressed woman at her college job. As a creature of the colorful and wild 80’s I’m always buying bolder pieces, some I never use! I should stick to what I know works and is long lasting. You reminded me of this. 💖
Can you do a video for mostly stay at home seniors? I'm raising a teen grandson and have fallen into the t shirt and sweats routine. I used to dress like the examples you showed and have an overflowing closet.
Finally a content creator who uses her influence for convincing her followers to buy natural fabrics instead of synthetics: It's good for their wellbeing but also for the environment. Consumers do themselves and the planet a huge favor by staying away from polyester&co by buying less, but class!
The rule I live by is personal style. All of these rules apply with it, I can certainly create my style from quality pieces with the right colors and fabrics. Another point which needs to be shared is quality fragrance. One spray is enough. Your scent should attract, .not deflect
You forgot to mention the linen I was in the fashion world in Europe that's why I mentioned the linen because it is a natural fabric beautiful Fabrics all this natural ones thank you
Thank you so so much for such an encouraging and useful article .I am an old Style Gal now but still believe that the ability to be honest when looking in the mirror, wear stylish not fashionable clothes and never be afraid to be different or adapt a garment to suit the occasion is the way to go. Remember apart from bangles less is always more.
I like your idea of solid colors. I usually opt for a print tops as it disguises some overweight issues. But I so love to see the beautiful beiges and pastel tops and outfits. Sigh . . . Someday I'll start sewing with the solid colors.
The rule I break is the 1/3 rd to 2/3rd vertical style. I am 5'2" apple shape size 14 or large. I have my tops ( when necessary) tailored to drop about crotch length. I never tuck in anymore because it looks terrible. I do follow the loose bottom, tighter top and vice versa rule. I also use driving loafers or lighter color loafers in summer with pants. I won't wear sandals unless my pedicure is fresh. Rarely wear sneakers but have a new beige leather pair I wore with jeans to a casual daytime concert.
I love wool, but I can no longer wear it as it makes me itch. Silk makes me sweat for some reason. I have found that rayon in a well-made garment stays cool in summer heat. Stay away from polyester in summer. There are several synthetic fibers that come from natural sources.
Stylish and personal, as long as it's in beige, navy or grey!!! NEVER🌈🌈🌈 My rule: Forget about the rules and get creative - focus on your own taste and the rest will follow.
One thing that I realize is important is women need to notice their skin's 'undertone'. When I was in my teens and twenties, I had a pinkish (Spring) undertone that looked great with pink and peach colored sweaters, for example. I finally realized, now that I am much older that why I wasn't enjoying my clothing choices (colors) any longer is because my skin tone has now shifted to wear I need to wear more Autumn colors (pumpkin, olive green and orange reds, etc) - no more Spring colors. I tossed out a lot of my wardrobe that I wear near my face (turtlenecks, dress shirts, etc.) - bye, bye powder pinks, peach and powder blues! aaargh!
I disagree on the comment about "don't go to a Taylor". This is why: Everybody, "every---body" is different! Identical twins maybe, maybe not? A Taylor is skilled & will fit the garmet to you & only you. If your garmet fits your body, it will look better & you will feel better wearing it!
Who has time to take garments to tailors? If it doesn't fit, skip it! Tailors are expensive. Paying them to alter clothes rarely yields a good return on investment.
What do you do when you really love a garment and know you wear it many times but it it is too long or needs to be altered by taking it in? Do you buy something which is a better fit but you don't like so much? Does that mean you don't need to take it to tailor but you surely won't get a good return on that.
@lucybraun8969 I think you should consider what the pandemic has done to taliors and the dry cleaning business. They need our business. I read many years ago, "Clothes that do not fit properly are not sexy" I prefer to be a sensuous woman
Retail sizing is standardized, so it can't possibly fit the wide variety of women's bodies. If you buy fewer, hight-quality pieces it is easier to justify the investment in tweaking them to your partiular body. If you have a more challenging figure type you can shop til you drop and not find good fit off the rack. One exception is jeans. The company Measure & Made (Google it) offers their jeans and pants in 3 cuts - for straighter figures, hourglasses and fuller hip/thigh shapes. Also length variations.

Less smelly, sweat as well! I won't wear anything other than natural fibers.

Thank you, my mother followed every one of them and current marketing blows them away from us.

And wear a lipstick to brighten your face!
except if your teeth look like mine
Is floral or printed fabric out for seniors?
Out!!!!! Oh please, yes. Lace also, ages us instantly.
small prints bc large flowers just age us
Dots and stripes won’t date you
I disagree with neutral colors bc they’re too bland and old. color underneath a blazer is better to enliven the whole look
Nu îmi plac culori neutrall, doar n, doar Black gray

I completely disagree and I can fit off the rack. Only when necessary of course. Envy you perfectly built types.

If it’s a high quality garment, you have say ,lost weight, it is well worth it unless you can afford to replace it with similar
