When I was a little girl, my ballet dance teacher gave me the best advice. She said "Good posture will always make your clothes look better. Stand up straight, shoulders down, chin up and pretend someone is pulling you from the top with a string." When we age, we tend to slump forward and lose that youthful bounce in our step. I may move a bit slower now but I sit and walk with regal purpose.

Pilates helps keep a good posture…a ballet posture

The first time I consciously lifted my chest and shoulders from being rolled down and forward, I was breathless and exhausted at the end of the day. It was basically isometric exercise. The muscles between my ribs especially had shortened from being in the wrong position for years which affected my breathing. Now it's not an effort but I do occasionally have to remind myself.

Absolutely! However, by my experience, today is not easy to find clothes that fit to a nice posture. It takes me trying on dozens and dozens of jackets that I can put on my dancer body: they only fit if I slump, lift my shoulders and force them forward - I look and feel like a gorilla 😂 But if I stand straight, the cut is really awkward. Just look at all the mannequins in the shops, horrible posture everywhere.

Grandmama always said she never followed fashion or trends. However she adapted fashion to her own style and taste, and used to take some trendy tips to keep her style fresh. Accessories were one of her secret weapons. A classic outfit with trendy shoes or jewelry would make a big difference. But the most important thing was attitude according to her words. If you feel young and joyful that’s what all the people will see.

I am not a slave to fashion, as we can see unhealthy waves of ridiculous trends being introduced every season, but I do understand that clothing industry needs these constant changes to attract clients. My approach is simple, I keep an eye on trends but apply only these elements that suite my individual style, hence 80/20 is a reasonable proportion. Many of my classic garments survived a decade thanks to a high quality material and couture. My favorite seasonal updates on trend happen in Spring and Summer, because of a hot climate I live in and it's only natural to seek replacement for fading T-shirts, prints and cotton dresses. Marie-Anne, I ❤ all your suggestions and as usually applied common sense and elegance of French Chic Style.

How many women with menopausal belly can tuck in their shirt without looking like an idiot??? I think that tuck in only the front is ridiculous. Just like pulling all your hair over to one side. Looks really weird from both front and back. Is that the trend we all should 'keep an eye on'? I sure do. So I can toss it.

I'm also looking for some "elevated" buttons for my thrifted black blazer that fits like it was made just for me.

I think fit is super important. As a petite woman, I have always needed to look at proportions because many items don't come in "petites" and sizing down doesn't work. As I have aged and put on a little weight, it is even harder! But nothing looks worse than someone wearing a baggy, shapeless outfit...no matter how stylist it is! On the other end...many women cling to a certain size number...and that size is way to tight now and makes their post-menopausal body look even heavier!

Fabulous video. Yay, no more skinny jeans! I have rarely parted with scarves, belts, and handbags. I think it actually saves money to have a closet based on 80/20. I buy some pieces that are styled to use a poor man's tailoring for weight loss. I can use belts to cinch a waist, a scarf to camouflage areas where the shirt or sweater seems too big, etc. My basic pumps may be dated, but I will still wear them if they are well-constructed with leather and look new or slightly worn. Some of my vintage '90s Coach bags still look barely worn, so I get them out and use them occasionally. I have enough to be creative and regularly buy a couple of things on sale to feel fresh. I think if it is dated, it can look good if the grooming is impeccable.

I never could wear high heels (3-inches or higher), so I’m so happy that so many mid-heeled, chic styles are widely available now, especially with block heels. This is the first time in my 64 years that this has been the case, it was essentially either all high heels or flats before. I feel quite frumpy and old-ladyish in completely flat shoes, even though I have plenty of foot problems, too. I love the extra 2 to 2.5 inches in footwear that gives me confidence and polish (in good, genuine-leather footwear). I’m stocking up while they’re available in a variety of colors and styles, just in case, but I hope they never go away again. Stuart Weitzmann mid-heel boots for cold weather and Sezane’s Paula Babies sling-backs for warmer weather are my favorites, they are very comfortable. Of course, I do wear sneakers for exercise walks and long days on my feet, but often prefer a more elegant look. I haven’t actually seen a woman wear high stiletto-heel, pointed-toe pumps here in San Francisco for more than 30 years, only in fashion social media. I love high-quality, up-to-the-minute style shoes, they definitely help keep even essentially-classic outfits looking modern.

I was watching this video as I was heading out the door to walk my dog and looked at what I was wearing -- khaki joggers and a rib knit grey t-shirt with white sneakers. It wasn't bad, but looked rather sad -- the khaki joggers would have been better with a white t-shirt or navy & white striped t-shirt and cute flats or sandals; and the grey t-shirt would have looked really good with white jeans and the white sneakers. I'm still a work in progress.

5:20 "full-length mirror", and that's one of the most important things to look modern, it makes you observe yourself from different angles and change your view of sticking to "dusty knick-knacks". Thank you for this useful and a very nice video.

I’ve always been very particular about proper fit. I make sure pants are the correct size and length and suit my pear shape. I often buy clothes to fit the widest part of my body well and then get them taken in and to fit the slimmer parts. That custom fit makes a huge difference-slimming and elegant

Thanks for your wonderful video which as always packed full of great ideas. I love your suggestion of adding simple things like a belt of a pair of shoes to update an outfit. These can be inexpensive items that can really make an outfit pop especially when you are on a budget.❤ from Dublin

I love the wide leg trousers! But, I must confess I looked my best in the 1980's when the same style was the BOMB! Oh well, I can rock my wide legs with confidence because I have "Been there, done that and look amazing in it!" 😄😄

That item with the green suit (stale) really spoke to me. I'm always looking for nontraditional suits as a lawyer. I would love if you did a video on formal office attire that still looks modern, especially suits! So many of us are working this sort of job into our late 60s and even 70s and it is very important to look modern in the modern workplace. By the way I adore that pop of pink in the sweater and belt and those amazing orange pants! Lovely video.

I am 51 now and used to love vintage clothing. I still have some classic pieces but love the idea of modernizing with a few statement pieces or trends. I love shoes and scarves. I will add some color or texture to make an otherwise very simple outfit feel more modern and fresh! Great tips, thank you!

I went away overnight last week and I wore a red dress. As I was walking to the train the next day, a very attractive man made a comment about how vibrant my red dress was especially with my lemon yellow overnight bag trailing behind! TBH, I never even thought about it. Today I bought a pretty grass green linen dress, long of course. I have one knee length dress for summer and will still wear it. It's sleeveless and I found a very light white linen blazer to put over it. I realized that I can also use that blazer with a yellow skirt and tank top I have. Or with a white eyelet top, sort of tee shirt style and that same yellow skirt. I like color. I'll wear navy or charcoal grey in the Winter but beige matches my skin so I don't wear it unless I can add a pop of color.

Love the video! Many of the tips might seem obvious, but it's easy to forget them, so thanks for the reminder. After working remotely for the past four years, I'm now preparing to return to the office. My closet has always been dominated by neutral colors, especially black. I recently audited my wardrobe and realized it's almost entirely black-mon dieu! I don't want to look like I'm dressing for a funeral when I go to the office. So, I've started adding some color and linen pants, which I previously avoided for fear they would crease. I've also updated my wardrobe with clothes that suit my body shape. Thanks to @MarieAnneLecoeur, who suggested that I might have an 'introverted triangle' body shape-and it turns out she was right!

thanks Marie-Anne, its just what I need.... I was going through my closet, threw away some of the oldest less updated items.. love your pink blazer. the current challenge is to look nice for a wedding, as you have advised I use a full mirror.

I would use the green old blazer with jeans, the white blouse would go well with jeans or an A shapped red skirt. I would use the green skirt with a orange, pink or dark blue turtle neck sweater and use a belt.

The trick is to throw in some modern pieces without succumbing to fast fashion and trends that come and go within 2 months. I'm trying to reduce consumerism in my everyday life... I connected mostly with linen pieces that are always a keeper... and quiet prints like the sikly stripes blouse you modeled. The trouses style especially in jeans have to match your body style as you always say. Not everyone should wear the "elephant" jeans as I call them, even if it's trendy...
