During the Depression, people had no money, but they always dressed as if they did. They wore their best suit; they wore their best dress - anything to make them look richer. Today, people have more money than ever, but they dress as if they have none. I live close to the largest shopping mall in the USA, and when I walk there for exercise - all four miles - I am so disappointed at how 95 percent of the shoppers dress. We have seemed to have gotten a bit lazy when dressing. Such a shame.

Thanks Marie-Anne. I agree with your style mistakes over 50. Those "little house on the prairie" high necked flouncy floral dresses are horrible probably for any age! Color is a tricky one. I've always loved colour, but the past couple of years have worn less colour and more neutrals because it seems more chic. I'm changing my mind on that now. I also think midi skirts with flat shoes can look frumpy at our age, with the exception of sandals in the summer. The basics of good skin care, good posture, and fitness go a long way. When you are fit, you are more agile, upright and youthful looking. I honestly think exercise is the magic bullet even before fashion.

@co9819 4 жыл бұрын

I used to love wearing florals when I was young but at my age,I'm sixty two,I've found them to be very aging and so I stopped wearing florals altogether.I think that one reason florals are aging is that flowers are pretty and so next to the aging skin there is this stark contrast between the floral pattern and mature skin which causes the signs of aging to be even more noticable.When there is harmony whether it is a pattern or a color that suits our skin tone the result is a younger look.I started to wear stripes and your so right when you say that stripes are fresh and young looking because I actually do feel that I look a bit younger when I'm wearing stripes.

I’m glad you discussed the ‘new’ trend for floaty, floral dresses - I still have a few from the 80’s in my wardrobe! 😉 I have said to myself that even the updated version of these would age me even though in other ways they suit by body type etc. My hunch was correct thank you. If I do wear this style again I will go for a small geometric print maybe in navy and white.

I agree with your aging style mistakes . I have seen some floral patterns in tops and dresses that remind me. of drapes that were popular 50 years and more ago . We can get into a rut of wearing very dark colours all the time . Past 50 women walk a fine line between being current with our style and choosing fashions that are too young for us . A proper fitting bra and good posture can take 10 years off .

@amasion2882 4 жыл бұрын

I respectfully agree to disagree. It’s probably good advice for ladies who disliked or weren’t flattered by florals when they were younger. I have a very “romantic” personal style. I love (and look attractive) wearing floral prints, flowing fabrics that drape and “flow” along the body, ribbons, lace, ruffles, vintage styles. Most stripes, polka dots, and plaids look very “jarring” on me. I acknowledge my style type isn’t for everyone. Fashion rules are made to be bent. LOL...I’m actually wearing a shirt with vertical pinstripes AND floral print right now!

@rbffbvs 4 жыл бұрын

@@amasion2882 You are correct in saying that florals work well for some ladies. I am not one of them.I am sixty-seven years old, and a former Hippie. I wore plenty of flowing dresses and broom skirts in my younger days. I find that I now need things to be more tailored, and less busy now. I am happy you have found a style that flatters you so well. I like to see women who look romantic and ethereal, but I cannot pull that off..

More excellent advice that helps to keep this 70 year old chic and elegant. A well fitting underwire bra makes me look youthful and lifted. I adore French lingerie. And color, I am transitioning from black near my face to flattering pastels. Scarves are difficult to wear in my hot climate but it is the cooler winter season and will give it a try. And the lovely floral dresses, definitely not for me. I ordered one online and it was appalling when I put it on. The only prints in my wardrobe are, thanks to you, Marie-Anne, stripes and I always feel good in them. I never could have imagined without your suggestions. I now purchase half the clothes I used to and have so much more to wear with my capsule wardrobe. Your advice has been invaluable.

I also couldn’t agree more about the 70s style florals too, I loved wearing them the first time round (in the 70s!j and suited them then. In those days we called them ‘granny dresses’ and that says it all doesn’t it? 👵🏻

Thank you for reminding us about bra straps loosening up in the wash- an instant fix and one so easy to overlook. Guilty as charged! I'm still trying to get used to the scarf thing, being the owner of a very short neck. You're right, color near the face makes such a difference. 😬

@@MarieAnneLecoeur It's one of my favorites of yours, and I'm going to watch it again right now. 😃 I think the problem for me is that most scarves are so big, so even folding them several times makes too much bulk. I think I need to find another short neck creature and we can cut them in half and share them! 😜

@@b.p.4250 Are you very short? Because I bought an Armani suit with one huge, extremely large, diaphanous pink scarf. They told me I can leave it poof out the bottom of the jacket where it will. Tail at the bottom and all. I could probably put a large scarf ring on it, too...I really loved the one in Mad Men that the wife wore.

Excellent video Marie Anne, may be one of my favorites. I believe that investing in a good bra is one of the most important things a woman can do for herself and if a woman is a D cup or more, she simply cannot buy a cheap bra. In the USA herroom .com has an excellent selection of bras and terrific bra fitting guide. As for color, I write often for a color analysis group and one of the most important things a woman must know is if she looks better in bright , clear chroma colors or muted colors. Muted colors will drain a person who needs brighter colors and bright clear colors will shout on a person who needs colors to be a little toned down. I have found that as I grew out my hair to it's natural blonde grey color, I need to go slightly lighter in colors and make up. As for those seventies styles, they never looked that hot on me back then so I don't need a revival.

Laughing at the beginning as I'm wearing a worn out sports bra this afternoon. Colors that are super bright are stark on me, but I've fallen in love with navy after your navy video. I felt so confident in a speaking engagement with a head-to-toe navy outfit and pink scarf that I ended up with multiple client opportunities from it. I agree on the floral dresses :-)

I didn't like the colors that were so popular as florals in the 70's and I haven't changed my mind. They tended to be loud and large. I'm not fond of prints as a rule, but those especially.

Bonjour Marie-Anne. Love this video. I am sixty at the end of the year and very aware that I dress like I have always done. i need to update my look, I think. I really can't bring myself to wear any of those mumsy floral dresses you get on catalogue clothing websites aimed at middle aged women. If anything makes you look older, they do.

@victoriabiel5861 3 жыл бұрын

I agree with you about floral dresses aging a woman. The trick though is to find just the right one, and I didn't think I'd ever find it-but I did. I bought one floral midi dress for summer recently and it is simply beautiful. It is a cream coloured chiffon type dress with lightly scattered pastel flowers. It has spaghetti straps, a cinched in waist, and then flows beautifully from the hips. I think a quiet, subdued floral dress that flatters a person's figure can actually add a very youthful and feminine air. I guess it really helps if your body is in good shape. For me, the carefree days of eating whatever and however much I wanted and still weigh only 98 pounds are over. I now have to work at taking care of myself and keeping my body at a slim 110 pounds. It's definitely worth the effort. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I had to laugh when you mentioned the position of the bust. I went to a seamstress to see if she could alter a jacket I was thinking of buying. The jacket fit well except for the area around the darts. I put the jacket on and the first thing she said was "You're wearing the wrong bra". I was speechless. She indicated a much lower level where she thought my bust should be. I told her there was nothing I could do to make those things go lower. One of the benefits of being smaller, I guess. At 60 years of age they are in the same place as they were years ago. Once I explained my situation she agreed to make the necessary alterations.
