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.

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.

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.

Like you though, comfort has become a priority as I'm no longer willing to "suffer" for beauty, so nothing too tight, nothing uncomfortable in any way, no more stilletoes and nothing that needs constant adjusting. I now actively seek out classic, clean lines, subtle but interesting details, natural fabrics, neutral colours and the right fit. I now love flats, kitten and block heels and am a bit obsessed with ankle boots. I recently got a pair of barrel jeans from Free People and I LOVE how they look on me. I know many hate them, but I am completely sold! You should definitely at least try them on!

I bought 2 pairs of barrell jeans from COS. Affordable and they look great. 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. :)

Could you explain the ‘why’ of some of these points? For example the point about pastels has me thinking why? Why is it harder to wear pastel when you get older. It seems that your point to equally apply to anyone not just older people. I am careful about wearing pastels, making sure that the colour suits my skin colour and undertones, but also making sure that the cut and shape of the item is modern and doesn’t harken back to a chintzy Laura Ashley look (because that isn’t my personal style). I think the learning would be much more relevant if the why was explained, or maybe it’s just me and I don’t get the point. (Your earring point made sense because the ‘why’ was clear).

I'm a gerontologist so typically cringe when there is a "what not to do" at a certain age. However, I think all of your points were on the money. I think you pointed out that when we wear some of the trends, we are trying too hard and not understanding that fashion choices can change as we age. I don't need a crop top to be "cool" and in style. I need to dress how it suits me. Thanks for this vid.

I only recently embarrassed prints I always wear solid colors.

I'm not a prints person overall, but I think the opposite of you said - small ditsy florals age me! I do have a couple of summer dresses, one with giant watercolour style florals and one blue monochrome floral (in a white background) and I think they suit me well. Again, with prints, we should "proceed with caution" like you always say😅

I dress how I want, according to what makes me feel good and what looks good on me. I am 65, and I'll be 66 next week. I'm in great shape and look about 10 years younger than I am. Many people compliment my style. In my opinion, it depends on how a look is styled, whether or not it looks young or old. I think sneakers with dresses are very iffy to me, I don't think they look good on anyone; boots are better. I have several pairs of the "We The Free Lucky You Mid-Rise Jeans" by Free People. They are SUPER comfortable; they run big, so size down one size, except the black, which is true t o size. They look best with fitted tops. I also like Levi's 90's straight leg jeans.

Hi, we’re all different. I can’t wear jeans of any type as the fabric is too harsh on my skin, I do wear more of a straight legged pant/trouser style (not as straight legged as jeans are made). I’m vertically challenged so I do have to consider all elements of an outfit. Agree with the “heavy earring” issue my much loved late MIL unfortunately had both lobes tear & had to stop wearing earrings. Shoe heels no higher than 3 cm / 1 inch due to osteoarthritis & toes pinned in a permanent position allowing a little “lift“ for special occasions. I have an extremely pale complexion & very carefully choose suitable coloured clothes, often using a brighter scarf to lift the colour. Leopard print goes in & out of fashion so often, my solution is a black jacket with leopard print lapels & cuffs. Yr channel popped in my feed & you have a new subscriber, I don’t agree with everything, but how boring would life be if everyone did the exact same thing all the time. Ty for the great vlog. Cheers 💐

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!

Totally agree 👍🏽 I’m just 61 and I do have my own personal style, with wavy salt & peppery undyed hair (I liberated myself from my expensive addiction to hair colouring during all the Covid lockdowns we were subjected to here in Melbourne) my new natural hair colour means im enjoying adjusting my clothing & colour & pattern choices to reflect my own personality & new ish appearance… it’s great fun but it’s also deeply personal. I love hand knits and hand crocheted items & I love mixing pastels with brilliant brights… I’m leaving black at the back as it juts doesn’t cheer me anymore… it’s not going anywhere permanent as I never say never anymore either except perhaps to bare legs with shorty shorts 😬😬🧐❤️🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘

Regarding the shape/cut of pants/jeans I think it is more your body shape that counts than your age 🤔 As someone with a short torso, high waisted anything will always make me look frumpy and like Steve Urkle because high waisted things always end up just below my boobs 😑 Low or mid rise is most flattering on my body shape regardless of my age 🤷♀️ Wear the pants that best flatters your shape ☺️

I'm almost 40, and I agree with almost all of your tips for after 50. What can I say I'm an old soul haha. I still love statement earrings, though. For me your tips are kind of ageless and not just for older women. Does anyone look good in small prints, low-rise or short shorts? In a classy way? I don't think so. And pastels are horrifying but I understand some seasons can wear them. Love your advice, you are a class act.

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 🤩

Big statement earrings can still be worn if they are clip-ons. They won't drag the lobe down so awkwardly. Heels I agree completely. Got rid of almost all of them over time. Still have a couple for elegant events but much lower heel. Nice sneakers or chunky boots look younger and cooler anyway. Pastels don't work on me either. They look boring on me (or make ME look boring LOL) I think as we get older we can go all in on more eclectic cuts and shapes to give our outfits more oomph. A nice mid thigh length bermuda will always look current and classy. I find balloon cut jeans to be super flattering on pretty much anyone.

I actually agree, heavy earrings are hurting, so I had quit wearing them. Stilettos, will not go there, other than, tendon, injure a tendon, you will give them up. Pastel and lace can age unless you do something fresh with it. I still do some florals, summers, but oversize anything no, short shorts NO. I still have skinny jeans but haven't been wearing them.
