Fashion Trends To Avoid If You’re Over 50 & What To Wear Instead | 2024 Fashion Trends
If someone told me today at 57 I should dress my age, I’d struggle to not be offended. Most Gen-Xers don’t like being told what we can and can’t do. We’ve grown up breaking and remaking the rules so we’re hardly going to bow to the fashion police now right? Well, here’s the tea. Whether we like it or not the clothes we wear can make us look older than our years. While I truly believe that style should be more about listening to your inner fashionista and less about obeying outdated fashion rules, there are a few fashion “guidelines” worth taking note of to ensure your style stays modern, polished and interesting. So today I’m sharing some of the things I’m going to stop wearing in 2024 and what I’ll be wearing instead.
Thanks so much for watching.

Everything you said shouldn’t wear, I do wear them and I look pretty good in them. So age has got nothing to do with our personal style. It depends on our confidence, personal style and how we carry ourselves .. I think we should stop overthinking about our age and focus on feeling comfortable and living our lives to the fullest. I am in my 50s too! I don’t follow any trends either..

@lauraadingmburu9446 2 ай бұрын

Some of us age differently and don't look nearly our age, so this sweeping statement doesn't apply to everyone. Also pastel colours are skin tone specific. Dark skin tone look fabulous in pastel colours. Nothing to do with age.

@garmtpug 2 күн бұрын

The thing is, is that a lot of women in their 50s and beyond do not become "brave" in their clothing choices. They just become sloppy and lazy wearing clothing that looked good on them 15 years ago, but no longer does. They just look dated. People certainly can and do wear whatever they want, but in this world people are judged by how they look! You may not like that, but that's life. A put together, well dressed person (man or woman) is taken more seriously and treated differently than someone who has tossed on a pair of sweat pants and a baggy tee shirt. That look was cute on a twenty something, but looks aging and lazy on us women in our golden years.

At 70, I disagree on the pastels. You are never too old to enjoy some color. I also think the opposite about florals. I do avoid large print florals, but ditsy florals work fine for me. I have seen some photos I admired recently of older ladies who stand out in their own dramatic styles. What fun! It is great to be aware of how we come across, but we should also be ourselves and not feel we have to fit in a certain box.

I think skinny jeans were aging even when they were in style. As we get older we lose muscle and the legs get super skinny. I personally hit heavy weights to keep this from happening so my legs still look muscular and athletic but my friends legs have turned skeletal in our 50's. When skinny went out i was so happy i didn't have to eventually break it to them that their skinnies weren't flattering them. Now i have the excuse of telling them "those are out of style" which is less offensive than "you have old lady legs"😂 Crisis averted. And YES you should tell your friends when they're wearing things that aren't flattering! My friends literally make me shop with them bc they know I'm the only truth teller of our group.

Great vlog as usual, Leonie. Keep up the great work! I'm mid-sixties and have never been able to wear high heels, not even in my 20s. But, some friends of mine who go back to our teen years, still wear them and have commented that they will wear them until they can't wear them anymore. And they run around in high heels like Tina Turner. Try to throw out their Louboutins and other high heels and there will be a fight and one wore high heels to work daily up until retirement a few years ago and still wears them. As for low-rise jeans, I've never been into them at any age. But, there are a lot of folks where I live who wear them and can pull it off no matter the age. I've always preferred higher-waisted jeans cut with a very defined snatched waist. Low-rise jeans rest on the hip. Not for me. I don't have a problem with pastels. Plus, when it comes to colors in clothing in general, a lot depends on one's skin tone no matter what the age. Where I live there are a lot of skin tones and darker skin tones generally can pull off a wide variety of colors. I'm not a fan of oversized blazers, but if the blazer is belted then it can work. I like more fitted clothing in my serious clothing and I have no problem showing my shape. But, folks in my culture genearlly show one's shape no matter the age, size, or body type. When it comes to short shorts, I have never liked them no matter what age range I was in, so that trend never even hit my fashion radar. But, I've worn Bermuda shorts since a teen. They're supposedly on trend this season, but I've yet to come across them in stores. I want a pair of light-wash denim ones, but cut wider in the thigh than some I've seen in fashion photos where they were looking more like a short version of matador pants which is not my definition of Bermuda shorts. Regarding animal prints, if I live to be a hundred, I will be wearing them to the end, especially leopard prints. I have a rack of various leopard print coats/jackets and also leopard and cheetah print in footwear, skirts, and scarves. The wearing of floral prints depends on the floral print. I will be taking out my pink floral tissue-cotton blouse with mesh fabric on the sides, bought at Anthropologie around 4 years ago. I'll throw it on with my light-wash short denim skirt and hot pink Lexington cowboy boots by Lane. My fashion styles have always been very fluid. My fashion is like my food..... very diverse.

They are just a necessaary part of life. I see young girls with cellulite and curves and they’re wearing shorts and they don’t care what anyone thinks. With all that said, I love your videos and each person needs to do what they feel comfortable with. Keep up the great content.

I’m turning 60 this year. I’ve never ascribed to the dressing for your age theory but it always happens on these milestone birthdays that all of a sudden I start a reevaluation of my wardrobe. The hardest by far was my twenties going into my thirties. I didn’t know my style yet and I had a lot of trashy clothes lol. For this year I just realized most of shorts are too short for me to feel my best, my boho style may not be my thing any longer and I’ve been trying to only buy natural fabrics because living in Florida it’s better for my health, my body and microplastics are just frightening tbh. I have given a lot of my heels to my much younger sister, I’m Saving some fabulous shoes for my niece and sexy, structured but easy is my new style for now. Thanks for saying the hard ones out loud.

@d: I have done similar and have also applied a product called 'rub ' n buff' (a wax finish often used on antiques etc. / source - Amazon) to tone down bright metallics plus colored nail polish is another option that I've used on buckles etc. where a small brush, is an application must. Also a clear gloss coat of the latter will brighten an other wise dull finish.

Yes Leonie you are so right on a lot of things in this video. I just bought a soft fabric shirt with a big floral pattern in barely there blue. I think the fabric makes it look pretty good on me. I really love barrel leg jeans and I'm short, the only problem is they are all too high rise for my torso. (higher than 10").

I recently discovered your channel and I'm loving your content. I like that you include photos of diverse models in your examples. As a short curvy 47 year old, I love my slim pants because wider (even straight-cut) pants make me look 3 apples tall and boxy. So yes, do what works for you! Also, I think this time of life is great for giving zero f*cks if others don't like your look.

Although I agree with some of your suggestions I feel like these are tips for everyone and unnecessary to target women over 50. We are all “aging” regardless if we’re 27 or 72. I’m just tired of being thrown into a category because I’m over 50. I love your videos I just don’t agree with the segregation.

Skinny jeans for me have nothing to do with age - I’m tired of seeing them! It’s nice to switch things up once in a while, unless we’re planning on wearing the exact same styles for the rest of our lives.

50 here and I agree with you. I’ve stopped wearing heels because I prefer comfort, no heavy earrings either. I’ve never liked low rise jeans so not for me. If I wear oversized clothes I get lost in them, I’m petite. The thing is that I like fashion but I’m not gonna wear any trend that I do not like or feel good in it. That’s the difference with age I think, you stop worrying about what others think and start thinking about yourself. You do you ❤, if you feel good in these trends, go ahead. Have fun 🤩

Leonie… I’ve just into your video and about the earrings… I have now decided to go on a hunt for clip on… They are better than they used to be and I agree. I love those big floral earrings. They have nowadays but they have to be so so light! There are some brands, American brands anyway, that do sell clip on backings, which makes a huge difference. I am 60 and I have a few pair of clip on that. I love that are much easier to wear becausemy piercings are hanging a bit!

Though I did choke on the animal print making your No list, until you elaborated that it was OK as an accent piece (shoes, boots, bag, shirt, etc.). Whew that was close! I do love my leopard print Chelsea rain boots, and my low-heel leopard pumps! I've watched your channel for quite some time and I've incorporated several of your style suggestions into my wardrobe. Less is More! Thanks, and be well!

I am 100% with you in regard to skinny jeans. I wore them for many, many years and today I cannot stand them anymore. I bought some wide leg jeans and trousers recently and I feel so much more modern and cool in those...even if I am only 1,65m. The only "problem" is that I still own a lot of blazers and tops that were fine with skinny jeans but cannot be paired with wide leg trousers. Now all of that will also be "sleeping" in my dressing room for a while.

@catharinacamenisch752 Ай бұрын

I was smiling listening to you.. I love florals but somehow and di not feel like wearing them anymore. I love pastels but I look very washed out when wearing them. I like to wear skinny jeans when going to dance class but for normal occasions they do not feel comfortable anymore. Maybe it not about the age in the passport, but more about comfort. And may the contrasts in our faces (hair) become less prominent so clear colors/high contrast becomes more of a go to. There were times when I liked fashion experiments but less and less. I still love colors very much and I still have a colorful wardrobe but more decisive. I love your video❣️

Agree with most of them, and I’m 61. I’ve always looked awful in pastels anyway but I just got some small print shortish summer dresses and they look great, they are colours that really suit me and not too fru fru in style and I’ll wear with flats on hot days. Also skinny jeans I’ll be keeping as an equestrian they’re a staple for dog walking and yard work as can be tucked into boots and it’s still pretty muddy here! I do have a couple of leopard print dresses but they’re done in a slightly different way (shape/colour) so I think they are less dated. Oh but I’ll never be seen dead in barrel leg or wide leg jeans, YUK!

Thanks for the tips! I'm all for people wearing what they love if they feel good in it, but I've discovered that if I try to wear a trend that I wore in my youth when it makes a comeback (like acid washed 90's jeans) I just look like I'm STILL wearing them from 30 years ago. It reads different when a 20-year old wears it; clearly she wasn't wearing it 30 years ago!

I am an hourglass, shortwaisted, 5'4" and these land just past my ankles so not too short or long and i can roll them to be more casual. I bought the off white and dark navy - arch tapered jeans. TBH I was surprised they looked so good. :)
