When my daughter was 7 (she's 38 now) , she got me a necklace with giant hot pink plastic beads for mother's day. She bought it from the neighbor that was having a garage sale. It is hideous. I still wear it on Mother's day. LOL It's a tradition and she loves it. I always pair it with an equally hideous LOUD paisley shirt.😆
I have one of those too! However, mine is actually very pretty but it’s very big and bright! But it’s the first thing my now 18-year-old son ever bought for me with his own money and I tried to wear it at least every couple of months.
Hrm... Down here in Florida everyone wears bold and patterned pants, and also shirts! Btw, Florida is no longer just old people. Everyone, all kinds, and all ages are already here, or are coming here. This state must be different from all the others. Everyone wears capris, too. Our winters are mild and we are in sandals and capris because long pants are just too hot. We even wear socks with our flip-flops (tabis) when a cold front goes through. We also wear our Tevas with velcro straps. I haven't worn actual shoes for years. Why is everyone so obsessed with age and keeping up with the latest styles? Down here we don't have to dress like everyone else; we are all our own individuals, and our weather (not style) is what influences how we dress. For awhile I lived in the DC metro area and everyone always dressed like they were always at work. Their clothes were all black, gray, or navy - and they all looked like clones of each other. To me, the thing that makes or breaks one looking old or not is HAIR. The typical shaved up the back of the head and shaped around the ears on ladies will make them look old, and so will long stringy hair. It's not even a matter of style. And IMO, for the guys, I think nothing makes one look old than a beard and lots of facial hair. I know it's the big thing right now, but good looking guys, not in the hive community, don't cover up their faces in mounds of hair.
We (70 year olds) do not regard the word "old" as negative. We are proud to have come so far. There is a narrative here that needs to be addressed. We want to look good- yes- but not younger!
Same. I'm getting thinner, but skin tight pants are not for me. I look like a meatball with toothpick legs in them! Tunic tops and flowy pants are where it's at for me. Stripes 😱 Heck no! I like longer maxi dresses with a jacket or a tunic style short dress. Hides a lot and still looks youthful.
I have two sets of clothing. When on the art circuit I am definitely more Bohemian and when I am in a more sedate social setting I dress more conservatively. My artsy clothing is fun to wear and enjoy doing it.
Ooh, we enjoy a touch of formality with dresses. I don’t own one pair of jeans, nor a tee-shirt. Shorts are for home. I love to wear Jackie Kennedy type bowler hats, gloves. Especially when traveling, this look opens doors.
I ve been watching you for along time and at this time I have 8 bags of outdated clothes on the porch to take to a thrift store. I’m 80 and still like to be stylin’!
Good for you! I feel as a young 70 year old its more about looking current (which means you feel and give off current vibes about life too) rather than looking young. Many ladies I know say they are not interested in fashion, then get upset when they get mistaken for older or just frumpy or past it in ideas, which is a bit contrary really.
My mother started on a diet and fitness journey in her seventies. She began hiking with a walking club on the weekends and joined a gym with the city. I didn't see her for a year and was shocked at how great she looked. I noticed her posture changed. She was no longer hunched over looking and looked toned and less flabby. It's never too late.
What is more important than what you wear is speaking well, good manners, having topics of interest to talk about, good hygiene, attractive makeup and a nice hairstyle.
Makeup isn't necessary. I think I look much better with clean healthy skin, instead of a layer of irritating crap on my face, which is why I stopped wearing makeup, decades ago.
I still wear makeup lipstick and cologne I'm grey at temples . No fake eyelashes no heels for me at 78. BTW I don't over do it on the make-up. I don't look like a clown 🤡
Why is everyone so petrified of getting or “ looking” older? It’s a privilege! After burying my 40 yr old sister this year, I’m just done with this. Every YT influencer over 40 is obsessed with staying young.
Condolences over the loss of your sister. The problem with fashion is that time zooms by. I've bought pieces intending to wear them with nowhere to go. Before you know it the season is over. I didn't like cold shoulder, shark bite tops and ignored them. I agree with square toed shoes and pointy shoes. They're still promoted by other young influencers Go figure. Take it with a grain of salt.
You are so right. I was thinking the same exact thing. This culture is obsessed with youth and that is not healthy. Getting older is the most natural thing in the world and I'm sick of being told I need to fight it. I'm trying to embrace it and accept it and enjoy my golden years.
I have terrible vericrose veins and toe nail deformities. Pantyhose may not be fashionable anymore but they sure help my confidence in wearing skirts and dresses so until someone develops false toenails I’ll keep my pantyhose.
Well, i honestly think capris/petal pushers or even 7/8 pants are timeless. I saw a video the other day talking about whether or not capris were making a comeback, and to be honest, I did not know they ever left. 😂 I stand by my belief that they are timeless. Now what can be adjusted, of course, is the fit, material and details of the capris because they may look trendy or they could look goofy, depending on those two factors.
Why complain? Angela said do it if that's your thing. Personally, I think she scored 100 on this one. Not only are these trends old, they do NOT look good.
Nothing is wrong with looking old. Perhaps those are the only clothes some people have. Clothes are expensive. Everything has gotten very expensive. People may not have the money to buy new clothes
As an older lady, I never wear sleeveless anything. Same principle with shorts. My pants are 7/8. I don't go shorter unless I'm staying home. Thanks for the tips!
That would not be because of the age would it? A lot of older people these days have a fairly good physique while you can see plenty of 30 something with bingo wings on upper arms and stage 4 lipodema legs.
@@johannas.l.brushane2518 Well skin elasticity certainly diminishes with age, as does the likelihood of surgical scars etc. I'm hitting 70 and was working full time as a caretaker who also did the lawn maintenance, did all the shopping, driving, home chores, car maintenance, etc, while looking after my spouse who'd suffered a massive stroke more than 8 yrs ago and has difficuties walking, speaking, can't drive, etc. up until 2 yrs ago. I was active (probably too active) and had good muscle definition in my arms and back, no wings or fat thighs but I got sick 2x and had a minor surgery in those last 2 years. Those were accompanied by an unplanned, unwanted and unnecessary lost of 30+ lbs (a lot of it muscle) in less than 6 months. That skin hasn't, and won't _snap_ back, even though I managed to regain 20+ lbs of my lost weight and continued working, because of my age. Same with my loss of muscle. My docs actually told me to slow down because my level of activity, at my age, was preventing me from regaining that lost weight and I was always exhausted, so yeah age can do it.
@@milomilo55 Yes, but then you have lost a substantial amount of weight in fairly short time. And you may have been more muscular before. If you had not had that, and you had not been larger before, your age as such would not cause your skin on the arms to sag to the point to need to hide it. Gosh, as we grow older we'd need to pull pillow covers over our heads then. People in the 60s and 70s now have many who have had active lifestyles and not fluctuating weight and only minor loss of muscle naturally as hormonal change in menopause. Granted they may be a little bit wrinklier and skin a bit rougher but not necessary loose skin. And it would think it would be plenty of loose skin for others to notice unless the person not lifting up their arms and point at it.
So many fashion influencers give us conflicting information each season on what is "in and out". One of the most popular influencers just recently had a vlog showing that capris were now "in" this year. Everyone should stop obsessing about trends and learn what looks best on their own bodies. When we are true to ourselves and go with the best looks for our body type, it should never be considered dated. But the video is very entertaining I agree!
At my age, 80+, I still love clothes, but they are now bought as camouflage! Batwing arms, mean no sleeveless items, varicose veins, hidden by longish skirts or dresses, capri or long pants, no waist, I never buy belts or clothes with pronounced waists I still wear pantyhose when dressed up for an event. I wear and like black tights in the winter. I mostly stick to classic designs and avoid faddish garments, like asymmetrical hem lines and cutout shoulders. I think the hems look like a poor sewing job ! I have occasionally bought a nice skirt and straightened the hem. I have bought a few what I call under-armor garments to hold in the bulges. Not too comfortable though. I really don’t want to come off a ‘ sweet old lady’ with drawstring pants and big sweatshirts , that say ‘ I love my grandchildren ‘ worn with huge white sneakers. (Apologies to all older women who are comfortable in these sort of outfits.) Somehow, I can’t give up fashion completely, even though I am an old lady!
Good for you. Im 71 living in south Florida.. I had 7 knee surgeries and at times have to wear the white velcro tennis shoes to get around. Im now adding colorful shoes and comfortable outdoor clothes. We need to talk to the buyers for stores that keep supplying all black clothes for larger older women.
Brenda-I am 87 and love fashion but I have my own style and it is eclectic-I love Sundance-Anthropology-and I also shop thrift stores with a friend who also loves clothes and always looks cute-there are so many people giving advice -we just gotta be who we are. ❤️👵🏻
Im 66 and really appreciate your humor and fashion ideas. Im not offended, I am amused. I am proud to be older and always put my best foot forward in fashion and beauty. Dont worry about the Debby Downers comments, you are helping so many get out of their ruts.❤ New subbie here!
Thanks Angela, totally agree on the pantyhose. Haven't worn them in decades. However, I was in Italy in February and they were wearing black pantyhose with little black skirts and they looked adorable. I'm going to try out that look when the days get colder.
You made me laugh out loud with your comment about people who post saying “I’m going to wear what I want to!” I have often wanted to reply to them and say “Do you not have a life? Why are you watching and then being so nasty” but I bite my tongue. You said what needs to be said! Love your content!
Yes! I think a lot of people just enjoy being contrary and want to just stir the pot for fun. If they aren’t interested, they shouldn’t click on the video in the first place. Most of us get stuck in ruts, it is human nature to repeat things, but I like to get reminders of what might be out of style. Some things I like too much to give up completely (like skinny jeans), but I do appreciate getting tips and ideas for keeping modern in my appearance when possible 😊
@@sylly654 I don't think the problem is with being in style although I myself don't believe in changing my wardrobe every season and in fact have worn the same things for the last 20 years. The problem is that most don't have the money to spend on clothes 2 or 3 times a year. Consumer debt continues to grow and it's not pretty. Money you spend now isn't going to put food on the table when your older. Many married couples forget that when their spouse dies, there goes one Social Security check. My beliefs come from having to be self supporting all my life and living off of one income. If I spent money like the advertisers wanted me to I'd be struggling right now, but instead am helping other people keep their heads above water as well. Also, what makes me wonder about the desire to always be in fashion is, that it's not the clothes that make you who you are, it's your personality which comes from YOU and not the clothes. You could be the best dressed or most fashionable person in the room and still have the personality of a wet rag or a stone.
Also, makes me think that they are protesting too much. People who are confident about their style wouldn't bother to watch a style video only to announce that they don't care how they look, they're going to wear "XYZ" anyway. So go ahead and wear it anyway, why do you feel you have to make a big announcement about it?
Haha! So enjoyed this post, still laughing. You give me the incentive to clean out the closet. I'm at the age where i have to double think my approach. What worked before doesn't now.
Id feel very weird going to church without pantyhose no matter what time of year. Just out and about no pantyhose is fine but class and polish is sometimes necessary
Love the striped cream and tan dress on you. It’s so flattering on you! I never did like the pointed shirts or cold shoulder shirts. I thought it made me look a lot bigger than I am! Just not flattering on anyone at any size!
I have one of those jagged hemline tops that I loved because it was so soft and comfy. Because I can sew, I simply lopped off that bottom edge, and hemmed it to a "normal" length. What I'm saying is, if you LOVE a certain shirt, but it's "dated", you can fix it, or pay someone to fix it. BTW, I LOVE the cat filing her claws! LOL!
I took all my cold shoulder tops and dresses to the tailor and had them made into sleeveless. The price wasnt bad at all and now they are not out of date!
A number of years ago, I had one of those "high/low" dresses (longer in the back than in the front)....took it to a seamstress and she made it into a "regular" hem --no more "high/low." Great idea what you did with your cold shoulder tops/dresses.
Thank you, I'd been wondering if I could alter my tops, they are still like new since I hardly wore them. Bought them for the color/pattern wasn't crazy about cold shoulder detail.
I’ve seen many fashion influencers say that capris are in this year, so I pulled mine from the back of my closet. I’m 5’ 9” and slim. I have nice legs with no marks, so the bottom part of my legs are a place I want to show off. Years of Pilates and Barre classes did that for me, and I’m 62!!! You’ve got to show off your best feature anytime you can.
Its all about the top you wear with it and what shoes. Flats or sandals can update it right away. Besides "capris" are pretty close to "cropped" pants so not a big deal.
Great advice and tips! Half of those styles that are now outdated, I'd never purchased in the first place. I can't go bare legged unless I have self tanner on my legs. Not showing off my pale white skin and varicose veins. lol
Easy to wear no pantyhose if you live in a warm climate, but in the north, you freeze. In the spring, when it's too warm to wear tights, but too cold to go bare legged, they are a must. Also, no worries about blisters.
I've seen some dark leggings in the winter but truly haven't seen pantyhose in maybe two decades and I'm in a cold climate. I don't even see them for sale in the stores...SO uncomfortable they were, ugh.
here in the American South I was glad for the end of pantyhose. I nice dressy sandal and sundress when it is very humid here works! Yes, for your snowy season I see the benefit.
I don't love them - quite the opposite - but they do perform a function. Sometimes I enjoy wearing dresses in the winter and can't go bare legged or I'll freeze. So it's mostly longer skirts with boots.
I have a very difficult time wearing dressy shoes with bare feet. I’ve spent a fortune on “comfortable” dress heels but I always end up with a blister and I just feel too old to walk around a wedding barefoot all night. So I still do usually wear hose to fancy events. I’ve tried the ones with the open toes and they can work but usually I opt to wear closed toe shoes in those instances and at least a knee length skirt so the hose are not as noticeable. I do know that they are totally outdated so I’ve tried really hard to find the sheerest and most natural looking ones. Does anyone else have this problem?
@@anitas5817I beg to differ with you. now I know there's a fine line on this one, and the hosiery thing can be tricky (to wear or not to wear, that isthequestion. But, "hosiery" is sometimes necessary. I think selecting the right color is what helps. lastly, it's pretty hard to wear a business suit while being totally bare legged. It's a difficult call.
Your sense of humor is great, I can always depend on you for a good laugh! I agree, why do people get so offended with saying things are dated? I agree completely with avoiding those styles! Great video Angela!
Pantyhose -- a couple of years ago I purchase nude nylons and started wearing them with some dresses and pumps again - seriously, my legs just don't look good without hose anymore and I don't look polished without hose. Also, I am not wearing leg makeup, not happening! A good pair of sheer hose that match your skin tone can actually look great, regardless what the young girls are doing. I haven't worn my shark bite tops in years - why are they still in my closet, LOL!
If i look "old" that's because i am! This obsession with looking younger is sad. Why spend what prescious little time left on worrying about looking young?
You realize it’s about presenting a better picture and looking current. Unfortunately women need to do this or they’re passed over in corporate America.
Great tips for not looking old. Agree on the panty hose but please know many of us older ladies have spider veins, blue veins etc so don't feel comforatble showing our legs so wear longer dresses and for sure , no shorts!
Agree! I know pantyhose are outdated, and I feel outdated wearing them. But I have horrible varicose veins and spider veins. I had surgery for the veins and they came right back. So I don’t wear shorts even in the middle of summer. Even though there are so many cute dresses I would wear for summer and weddings but I can’t show my legs. I know what cute dresses are in style, just can’t wear them 😢. Wish there was a solution.
Great video. I think you're right on about most everything. But I must inject that Princess Catherine, an icon of fashion, does in fact wear pantyhose, or "tights" as the Brits have it. ;)
Yes! In the cooler months I wear nude pantyhose with a dress or skirt. If it is good enough for Princess Catherine, it is good enough for me. My legs are very light so it is a better look. In the warmer months, I go with bare legs :)
Square toes just came back into style again this year. Pantyhose look classy in the winter with an appropriate dress in an appropriate situation. Like church or a nice wedding
Honestly, many believe pantyhose is still the professional look in a business setting. 😊 I wouldn’t want to see the bare legs of men in a professional setting and nor is it appropriate for women in the same context. I suppose if the hem hits really low on the leg, it might be less an issue. Just the opinion of some of us 😊 And yes on square toe - just bought a pair of flip flops last week and it caught me off guard, but they are square toe 🤷🏼♀️
I watch you because I generally agree but most of these aren’t correct with the trends this year. Square toe shoes are definitely back in style. If you work in a professional job you need to wear pantyhose. Younger people started no pantyhose and most of them don’t have professional jobs. 😾. PLEASE Don’t COMMENT. I don’t really care, this is just my personal opinion.
So many TH-cam influencers have to spend time disclaiming! Drives me crazy! People can be so mean on line. I’m with you. Why did you click on the video if you’re not open to suggestions!
I just happened to come across this video and it is so relevant, especially since I will be turning 71 soon. I wear my hair long just below my shoulders, I wear make up and jeans - my weight is good. I take care of myself with appropriate eating and moderate exercise. I don't look young and I couldn't if I wanted to. I don't understand when you get older many ladies gain a ton of weight, cut their hair super short and wear very unsexy clothes. That is fine if you want to. You can be sexy at any age and you don't need to try and and look younger.. just be yourself and the best that you can be.
Well, once you let yourself go 100 pounds overweight there’s not much that will help. Short hair or long, but I do prefer to see clothing in the appropriate size worn.
In defense of the pantyhose… I wore some earlier this spring and it was mostly for warmth. I do live in a cold climate and while they don’t provide much - they do help when it’s still cold but I don’t want to be restricted to wearing high boots. I hear you on the hose but I think if you have some that fit you well, are the correct color and you are still wearing a closed toe shoe it’s fine. I also didn’t want to wear black since I had a black dress on and those nude/black Chanel inspired shoes - so had to go nude.
I wear pantyhose all different colors (mainly neutral) under boots with dresses. Live in MN. Its what happens up here. Its cold here half the year. Please everybody think for yourself. In the warm months, bare legs and self tanner.
I get it for sure but they are seen in a different light than most average folks. I feel they need to be more formal which is fine but I don't feel that is the average person
Catherine didn’t bring hosiery back. It was an unwritten rule that Queen Elizabeth II, required all Royal ladies to wear hosiery for formal, public occasions. Compliance was a sign of respect to HMTQ.
It is my first time watching this channel… you are very funny! I like what you said about switching to summer dresses to stay cool; they look so feminine too!
I am cracking up watching this video. Kept watching because so entertaining. Panty hoses, hum. I haven't worn them in years, yet I have some in my drawer. I need to throw them out!!
I don't think velcro is viewed as an 'old person's fastening' anymore. I bought two pairs of leather sandals for summer. They are youthful, stylish, and don't suffer by having velcro as the fastener.
You know the problem is us older gals NEVER WEAR ANYTHING OUT! We just add a few new pieces every year,mic we can afford to even do that. I have the most beautiful Alfred Dunner tops hanging in my closet, but Never wear them. I am now 74 so I am old enough to wear them, but they are mostly to dressy for my life style. I was one of your earliest subscribers and I still watch almost every thing you put out. I want to remind everyone that your fifties and sixties are great decades ! Dress as beautifully as you can . Enjoy every day, stay active , learn new things, eat well, enjoy your romantic life and TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH.
Grew up with old people and I always thought they were wonderful. I have no fear of looking old; feeling old that’s a different matter. Keep exercising and moving, both body and mind. Forget the botox and dye.
LOL you are a hoot. I gotta admit I do have a pair of "stretchy wild lookin' house pants" that I slip on but the public will never see them...hello! totally agree with you and yes we are beginning to look like we are wearing old maternity tops.
Guess what I’m on the way to purchase tomorrow? Yep pantyhose! For my 16yr old daughter that is required by a club at highschool to have bc it does make the girls look more professional and polished. 😅
Tell the truth… The club has something to do with dance. And the pantyhose or not for warmth or anything else but to make the girls look uniform when they dance. That’s what pantyhose are used for nowadays. For any kind of outfit or costume that requires all the girls to look one same style or color.
I just turned 57, and I'll wear what I want. I don't care what anyone thinks of me. JUST KIDDING ... HeHe! 😂 I truly enjoyed this video. It was informative and hilarious! ❤
Angela, you are hilarious ! I ;ove your sense of humor and cheerful personality. Great ideas for us older gals. I like your suggestions, they are most helpful Thanks for sharing!
It’s also true that quality pantyhose make your legs look so much better and flawless! With slight control top and comfortable waistband features, you get built-in shape wear, which almost every woman needs with slim fitting dresses or those with thin fabrics. Choosing the right color is key…
I going to 70s and I feel much comfortable now then when I was in my twenties and I was considered beautiful . The most important thing is to respect yourself, use your skills, time and money to do good and be mindful to your surroundings and your inner beautiful and youthful will shine, even in a rag…
I wish I wasn't getting older, but unfortunately, the years keep slipping by! However, I agree with all of your suggestions, Angela. We want to hang onto our youthful appearance as long as we can!!!
Trends come and go-- and we pick the ones we like. Capri pants have many iterations. They are not "out." Yes, the baggy, loose ones are passe right now, but fashion magazines are showing the fitted legging style capris. The ones I see on older women are very loose pants that look frumpy but (of course) comfy.
The reason older women like cold shoulder tops is that it allows them to show some skin without baring their upper arm, which is one of the places we tend to show age the most. Switching to lower necklines also can bare an area that also shows aging crepey skin. A lot of your advice may work for younger “old” people. Trust me, 40 is not old, nor is 50 compared to when you are over 70 and still wanting to wear an evening top or dress that still shows part of your body that may still look pretty good and makes us feel like we are still women. I would recommend a solid color for a cold shoulder top, probably black.
Some influencer recently said cold shoulders never go out of style! I have 2 new dresses with cold shoulders! I will wear them! I live in AZ where it’s over 100 for at least 4 months! I don’t care about fashion trends! I wear what I want!
As a palliative care nurse I saw first hand that getting older is not a privilege everyone gets. That being said, I DO NOT WANT TO LOOK OLDER THAN I AM! I appreciate all your suggestions!
I wear an incredibly sheer pantyhose i buy online thats from eastern Europe because i wear shortish skirts when dancing- i actually also use a bit of leg makeup so my 71 year old skin looks 🎉. But my arms😮.oh well
I agree with all of these except pantyhose. I will wear sheer black hose to a funeral with a black dress and very sheer nylons to an evening event. It’s easier to get by without pantyhose in summer when legs are tanned or can be touched up with leg makeup or spray.
My sister, who is 74 now, wears nude pantyhose with her summer sandals. When I told her that nobody wears pantyhose with sandals, she said, "Yes, they do." I think she's in denial! I'm 75 and gave up nude pantyhose a long time ago.
Elderly who have vein issues are told to wear compression hose. Or they think their legs are not attractive with age spots etc. She may be embarrassed- don’t give her a hard time.
I have a friend who is 76, lovely lady & very kind. We went lunching the other day, she had black wedge slides on with nude (tight type) ankle socks and a skirt. I don't know how to tell her? 🤔
Here is my two cents. It’s funny how some trends are not likable. I never liked shark bite hems. I never liked cold shoulder, never thought they were attractive. Lesson learned: just because something is in style, doesn’t mean you have to like it and embrace it. The only time I wore crop pants was when I was super skinny and thought it looked good. Now being a normal weight, I think it makes me look heavy, so I don’t wear anything above an ankle length. I disagree on the pantyhose. I wear them in a work environment with dresses where I am looking for that polished professional look. Funny, engaging video. Keep ‘em coming!
Yep. Never liked the cold shoulder tops. I got a shark bite top on markdown. Last one I ever got. Very hideous! My older (71 yr old) sister wears capris and jeans that fit tight at the ankle. Nope. Boot cut or bell bottom look better. I even have a men's slim cut Levi 511 that looks better than what women usually wear. Too often they look like they're stuffed in their jeans. I like printed bottoms, but my print pants have flowy movement. Current or trendy fashion doesn't always look awesome on every body. That is why some people look a hot mess out there. Quit following trends and dress for the body you have!
Im 78 and haven't turned grey. Only at the temples! I wear stretch pants and unique tops to that cover things . I use Lancome makup products and Neutrogena bath . Same since the 80's . I'm a shoe person so I go to shoe shopping too often! My nails are manicured and I still wear my favorite cologne. I like myself!
I disagree with the patterned pants. I think it depends on the print and cut. I saw several younger women trying on the patterned linen type pants at winners.
Found your channel recently and LOVE your style and advice!! Thanks for providing practical style information in such an entertaining way. I really look forward to your videos!
As a vaccinating pharmacist, I’m still heartbroken and grieving, GRIEVING I tell ya’, for the disappearance of the cold-shoulder top! Not because I thought the trend was particularly attractive, but it sure made my life a heckuva lot easier during flu shot season! You’d be surprised at the number of topless people in pharmacy waiting rooms across America because we otherwise couldn’t get to their shoulders! 😂 In fact, a couple of my patients will reach deep into their closets and proudly resurrect their cold shoulders when coming in for their immunizations and it gives me the feels every time !❤🥰
I never really liked those tops, but I agree, my patients know they are coming for a vaccination and after all these years still think I can get to the deltoid from their forearm😂.
No one needs flu shots. Flu is a natural seasonal detox of the body, fever helps to remove toxins via mucus. If you don't have flu from time to time you have higher chances getting cancer.
I am 72 years old, I wear cold shoulder blouses and get so many compliments especially from the young girls and younger women. They want to know where I bought them. I wear capris , let me tell you the young men think I am sexy !!! I say wear what ever makes you comfortable and happy . If you are lucky enough to be older flaunt what makes you feel sexy !!!
Very funny video. I agree with most of your suggestions. I am in my early 60s, and I admit I still wear sheer nude hose with a dress sometimes. They are so sheer they blend in well with my legs. I’m a soloist at my church and they just make me look so much more polished than bare legs. I say wear what you like and ignore the rest.
I think a traditional church altar/stage area is probably the only place where pantyhose would look appropriate. I'm kinda traditional, and even I ditched pantyhose 20+ years ago! But I also don't wear dresses, either! 😅
Iris had her collection of things but she wasn’t in debt , it was her choice how much she owned and really wasn’t a problem. We all get to choose how we live . Iris took good care of her remarkable collection, any items will go to museums etc. ‘more is more and less is a bore’😂👍🏻👍🏻
I designed and sold jewelry and there is a time and place for it all. Teensey tiny jewelry is now very "IN" It gets lost on many larger women. Dressing to scale is as important as in interior furniture decorating.
Iris was a textile designer and found her nitch in jewelry and clothing could afford it and enjoyed it all. She could laugh all the way to the bank and windows of Bergdorf Goodman. She was a beloved icon.
I like your channel I’m a new subscriber and I’m listening to your tips and taking it in. I really don’t care what other people think of me. I wear what I like, and feels comfortable. I don’t care if it’s outdated or not 🤩
"I feel great in" clothes and "I feel like I look great in" clothes, are 2 different things for sure, because I feel great in my sweatpants, but I definitely don't look great. 🤣 Ha! LOVE your videos Angela!! You dancing in the floral top is priceless. 😂
Many of us older women are looking to appearing modern, not necessarily younger. There is a big difference.
Agree!!! she is boring
Agree, not boring, I like most of her videos. I just don’t know why people dress for and care what others think.
I was going to say the same. I agree with what she says but I just want to look good, I am not ashamed of my age.
Thank you, and I have always worn what I wanted with my style. @@jayneelinor
@@patriciakeeler2413well that’s a mean thing to say 😮
When my daughter was 7 (she's 38 now) , she got me a necklace with giant hot pink plastic beads for mother's day. She bought it from the neighbor that was having a garage sale. It is hideous. I still wear it on Mother's day. LOL It's a tradition and she loves it. I always pair it with an equally hideous LOUD paisley shirt.😆
I have one of those too! However, mine is actually very pretty but it’s very big and bright! But it’s the first thing my now 18-year-old son ever bought for me with his own money and I tried to wear it at least every couple of months.
I think that’s sweet. Little kids are just so precious when they do that
My son gave me a necklace with beads and plastic shrimp. I wear it on special summer occasions.
Hrm... Down here in Florida everyone wears bold and patterned pants, and also shirts! Btw, Florida is no longer just old people. Everyone, all kinds, and all ages are already here, or are coming here. This state must be different from all the others. Everyone wears capris, too. Our winters are mild and we are in sandals and capris because long pants are just too hot. We even wear socks with our flip-flops (tabis) when a cold front goes through. We also wear our Tevas with velcro straps. I haven't worn actual shoes for years. Why is everyone so obsessed with age and keeping up with the latest styles? Down here we don't have to dress like everyone else; we are all our own individuals, and our weather (not style) is what influences how we dress. For awhile I lived in the DC metro area and everyone always dressed like they were always at work. Their clothes were all black, gray, or navy - and they all looked like clones of each other. To me, the thing that makes or breaks one looking old or not is HAIR. The typical shaved up the back of the head and shaped around the ears on ladies will make them look old, and so will long stringy hair. It's not even a matter of style. And IMO, for the guys, I think nothing makes one look old than a beard and lots of facial hair. I know it's the big thing right now, but good looking guys, not in the hive community, don't cover up their faces in mounds of hair.
My son gave me a “beautiful orange diamond” ring. I still have it. ❤
We (70 year olds) do not regard the word "old" as negative. We are proud to have come so far. There is a narrative here that needs to be addressed. We want to look good- yes- but not younger!
I'm a full-figured woman. I love my bohemian style. It's comfortable and covers up a lot of flaws. I'm flawsome.
Same. I'm getting thinner, but skin tight pants are not for me. I look like a meatball with toothpick legs in them! Tunic tops and flowy pants are where it's at for me. Stripes 😱 Heck no! I like longer maxi dresses with a jacket or a tunic style short dress. Hides a lot and still looks youthful.
Flawsome! I love that. Stealing it. ❤
I have two sets of clothing. When on the art circuit I am definitely more Bohemian and when I am in a more sedate social setting I dress more conservatively. My artsy clothing is fun to wear and enjoy doing it.
Ooh, we enjoy a touch of formality with dresses. I don’t own one pair of jeans, nor a tee-shirt. Shorts are for home. I love to wear Jackie Kennedy type bowler hats, gloves. Especially when traveling, this look opens doors.
I too am a plus size Bahamian style at 67 . I LOVE it and get compliments all the time on my clothes which are 90% from thrift shops .
I ve been watching you for along time and at this time I have 8 bags of outdated clothes on the porch to take to a thrift store. I’m 80 and still like to be stylin’!
Thank you Glenda for watching all this time!!! 😊
i wish you were my neighbor, i’d take those clothes in a heartbeat 😅 lovee older clothes, especially vintage! and big beads! yes please! ❤
You GO Girl!❤
I'm sure the 20 year olds will grab them up & make them stylish
Good for you! I feel as a young 70 year old its more about looking current (which means you feel and give off current vibes about life too) rather than looking young. Many ladies I know say they are not interested in fashion, then get upset when they get mistaken for older or just frumpy or past it in ideas, which is a bit contrary really.
My mother started on a diet and fitness journey in her seventies. She began hiking with a walking club on the weekends and joined a gym with the city. I didn't see her for a year and was shocked at how great she looked. I noticed her posture changed. She was no longer hunched over looking and looked toned and less flabby. It's never too late.
I NEVER bought into the cold shoulder fashion fad. I always thought it looked so stupid.
Agree!
Yep. Never bought into that fad either.
Exactly! I am with you
The first time I saw one I thought it looked like something a prostitute would wear!
Totally!
There’s a difference between looking old and looking dated, which can happen at any age
Yep
So agree with you
@@srkh8966 Agree.
What is more important than what you wear is speaking well, good manners, having topics of interest to talk about, good hygiene, attractive makeup and a nice hairstyle.
Makeup isn't necessary. I think I look much better with clean healthy skin, instead of a layer of irritating crap on my face, which is why I stopped wearing makeup, decades ago.
Make up sucks. I never wear it. But I like fashion.
Just consider what the word make up means... that you lack something and must buy their poisonous pore clogging goop to make up for it.
@@app103me too. 🩵🩵🩵
I still wear makeup lipstick and cologne I'm grey at temples . No fake eyelashes no heels for me at 78. BTW I don't over do it on the make-up. I don't look like a clown 🤡
Why is everyone so petrified of getting or “ looking” older? It’s a privilege! After burying my 40 yr old sister this year, I’m just done with this. Every YT influencer over 40 is obsessed with staying young.
So sorry you lost your sister!!!
Condolences over the loss of your sister. The problem with fashion is that time zooms by. I've bought pieces intending to wear them with nowhere to go. Before you know it the season is over. I didn't like cold shoulder, shark bite tops and ignored them. I agree with square toed shoes and pointy shoes. They're still promoted by other young influencers Go figure. Take it with a grain of salt.
You are so right. I was thinking the same exact thing. This culture is obsessed with youth and that is not healthy. Getting older is the most natural thing in the world and I'm sick of being told I need to fight it. I'm trying to embrace it and accept it and enjoy my golden years.
@@lindabolique72plus they don’t realize that in a blink of an eye they will be there.
Totally agree with you.
I have to say that a modern hairstyle goes a long way to giving a fresh modern vibe.😏
I am so weary of seeing every woman with that long stringy hair following over the front of their shoulders.
Hair has been my struggle. I do not look good with flat hair. My face and features need height.
@@smclindseyI’m over 60 and my hair is long and thick love it!..
@@anzelac5808Hope you can rock the gray too!
I saw a photo of a friend my age (72) and she looked like my grandma 😮
I have terrible vericrose veins and toe nail deformities. Pantyhose may not be fashionable anymore but they sure help my confidence in wearing skirts and dresses so until someone develops false toenails I’ll keep my pantyhose.
When I was a kid capris were called pedal pushers. They were great when riding a bike. Boy am I dating myself!!
Just got a pair in plaid seersucker just for that purpose - pedal pushing. They're great for biking :)
Well, i honestly think capris/petal pushers or even 7/8 pants are timeless. I saw a video the other day talking about whether or not capris were making a comeback, and to be honest, I did not know they ever left. 😂 I stand by my belief that they are timeless. Now what can be adjusted, of course, is the fit, material and details of the capris because they may look trendy or they could look goofy, depending on those two factors.
We called them Clam Diggers.🧑🦳
Yes, pedal pushers! And pants that were ankle length were high waters!
I always thought pedal pushers ended right below the knee? Capris are longer. I prefer the pedal pusher length, but can't find them anywhere.
Just about fell off my chair laughing watching Urkel dancing into the video when you said I need to shorten up my pants. Thank you for that!!!😂
😊👍🏻🤣
Me too
Yep. I howled...!!
Living in New York City, when it gets cold, black tights are a staple when wearing dresses.
Im in Montana I'm wearing tights... They will forever be in style and so will pantyhose. No matter what the trend setters say
I always felt that the cold shoulder look was one of the most unclassy look in recent years.
I agree 100%. I had a tough time finding clothes in stores when they were all the rage.
Yes, trashy😹
I know what you mean. But these caftans I got with ONE cold shoulder + spaghetti strap look flirty, but tasteful.
Maybe classy for young women, with the right fabric and shape.
I agree!
Why is it a sin to look old? So over people putting fear about aging. Just eat healthy, exercise and surround yourself with the people you love ❤️
I think she means a 50 yr old making herself look as if she’s 60 or 70 😳😢 . Dress to look your best at your age! 😊
Why complain? Angela said do it if that's your thing. Personally, I think she scored 100 on this one. Not only are these trends old, they do NOT look good.
Nothing is wrong with looking old. Perhaps those are the only clothes some people have. Clothes are expensive. Everything has gotten very expensive. People may not have the money to buy new clothes
@@mmnn4845 Oh my gosh. There are so many cute clothes at thrift shops and Goodwill, etc. There's always a way if you want something.
Awesome 👍
As an older lady, I never wear sleeveless anything. Same principle with shorts. My pants are 7/8. I don't go shorter unless I'm staying home. Thanks for the tips!
That would not be because of the age would it? A lot of older people these days have a fairly good physique while you can see plenty of 30 something with bingo wings on upper arms and stage 4 lipodema legs.
Agree 💯💯💯💯💯
@@johannas.l.brushane2518 Well skin elasticity certainly diminishes with age, as does the likelihood of surgical scars etc. I'm hitting 70 and was working full time as a caretaker who also did the lawn maintenance, did all the shopping, driving, home chores, car maintenance, etc, while looking after my spouse who'd suffered a massive stroke more than 8 yrs ago and has difficuties walking, speaking, can't drive, etc. up until 2 yrs ago.
I was active (probably too active) and had good muscle definition in my arms and back, no wings or fat thighs but I got sick 2x and had a minor surgery in those last 2 years. Those were accompanied by an unplanned, unwanted and unnecessary lost of 30+ lbs (a lot of it muscle) in less than 6 months. That skin hasn't, and won't _snap_ back, even though I managed to regain 20+ lbs of my lost weight and continued working, because of my age. Same with my loss of muscle. My docs actually told me to slow down because my level of activity, at my age, was preventing me from regaining that lost weight and I was always exhausted, so yeah age can do it.
@@milomilo55 Yes, but then you have lost a substantial amount of weight in fairly short time. And you may have been more muscular before. If you had not had that, and you had not been larger before, your age as such would not cause your skin on the arms to sag to the point to need to hide it. Gosh, as we grow older we'd need to pull pillow covers over our heads then. People in the 60s and 70s now have many who have had active lifestyles and not fluctuating weight and only minor loss of muscle naturally as hormonal change in menopause. Granted they may be a little bit wrinklier and skin a bit rougher but not necessary loose skin. And it would think it would be plenty of loose skin for others to notice unless the person not lifting up their arms and point at it.
I substituted shorts for summer dresses.
I love this video. My favorite thing you said: “if I mention something that you love to wear and it makes you feel good, wear it!”
So many fashion influencers give us conflicting information each season on what is "in and out". One of the most popular influencers just recently had a vlog showing that capris were now "in" this year. Everyone should stop obsessing about trends and learn what looks best on their own bodies. When we are true to ourselves and go with the best looks for our body type, it should never be considered dated. But the video is very entertaining I agree!
Spot on !
Agreed 💯
Capris are in. I sell clothes and my capris have been selling well.
@@thetruthergirls true and I'm one that loves Capris and I'm 66 and my capris don't age people!!!
Yes, capris actually are "in" currently.
😂Your awesome you made me laugh and I totally agree with your fashion advice.
At my age, 80+, I still love clothes, but they are now bought as camouflage! Batwing arms, mean no sleeveless items, varicose veins, hidden by longish skirts or dresses, capri or long pants, no waist, I never buy belts or clothes with pronounced waists I still wear pantyhose when dressed up for an event. I wear and like black tights in the winter. I mostly stick to classic designs and avoid faddish garments, like asymmetrical hem lines and cutout shoulders. I think the hems look like a poor sewing job ! I have occasionally bought a nice skirt and straightened the hem. I have bought a few what I call under-armor garments to hold in the bulges. Not too comfortable though.
I really don’t want to come off a ‘ sweet old lady’ with drawstring pants and big sweatshirts , that say ‘ I love my grandchildren ‘ worn with huge white sneakers. (Apologies to all older women who are comfortable in these sort of outfits.)
Somehow, I can’t give up fashion completely, even though I am an old lady!
Good for you! Keep on going
I like your style 💕
Good for you. Im 71 living in south Florida.. I had 7 knee surgeries and at times have to wear the white velcro tennis shoes to get around. Im now adding colorful shoes and comfortable outdoor clothes. We need to talk to the buyers for stores that keep supplying all black clothes for larger older women.
With you 100%. Charity shops come in very useful at this time.
Brenda-I am 87 and love fashion but I have my own style and it is eclectic-I love Sundance-Anthropology-and I also shop thrift stores with a friend who also loves clothes and always looks cute-there are so many people giving advice -we just gotta be who we are. ❤️👵🏻
Im 66 and really appreciate your humor and fashion ideas. Im not offended, I am amused. I am proud to be older and always put my best foot forward in fashion and beauty. Dont worry about the Debby Downers comments, you are helping so many get out of their ruts.❤ New subbie here!
You are not proud to be older you are Comfortable!
I dress how I please, and I'm really not interested in what people think .
👍
@@CaribbeanaI'm proud. Many people do not have the honor of getting to be my age. Youth was nice, but I've embraced who I am at 66.
Thanks Angela, totally agree on the pantyhose. Haven't worn them in decades. However, I was in Italy in February and they were wearing black pantyhose with little black skirts and they looked adorable. I'm going to try out that look when the days get colder.
You made me laugh out loud with your comment about people who post saying “I’m going to wear what I want to!” I have often wanted to reply to them and say “Do you not have a life? Why are you watching and then being so nasty” but I bite my tongue. You said what needs to be said! Love your content!
Thank you Deborah!
Yes! I think a lot of people just enjoy being contrary and want to just stir the pot for fun. If they aren’t interested, they shouldn’t click on the video in the first place.
Most of us get stuck in ruts, it is human nature to repeat things, but I like to get reminders of what might be out of style. Some things I like too much to give up completely (like skinny jeans), but I do appreciate getting tips and ideas for keeping modern in my appearance when possible 😊
@@sylly654 I don't think the problem is with being in style although I myself don't believe in changing my wardrobe every season and in fact have worn the same things for the last 20 years. The problem is that most don't have the money to spend on clothes 2 or 3 times a year. Consumer debt continues to grow and it's not pretty. Money you spend now isn't going to put food on the table when your older. Many married couples forget that when their spouse dies, there goes one Social Security check. My beliefs come from having to be self supporting all my life and living off of one income. If I spent money like the advertisers wanted me to I'd be struggling right now, but instead am helping other people keep their heads above water as well. Also, what makes me wonder about the desire to always be in fashion is, that it's not the clothes that make you who you are, it's your personality which comes from YOU and not the clothes. You could be the best dressed or most fashionable person in the room and still have the personality of a wet rag or a stone.
Also, makes me think that they are protesting too much. People who are confident about their style wouldn't bother to watch a style video only to announce that they don't care how they look, they're going to wear "XYZ" anyway. So go ahead and wear it anyway, why do you feel you have to make a big announcement about it?
Yes,a you said it; but they are still, sadly, posting such stuff!
Haha! So enjoyed this post, still laughing. You give me the incentive to clean out the closet. I'm at the age where i have to double think my approach. What worked before doesn't now.
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much!!!! I REALLY appreciate your super thanks!! 🥳 It will be going directly into my video equipment fund 👍🏻
Hosiery comes in nearly translucent nylon nowadays.
They have the same benefits without the contrast
Pantyhose add CLASS and POLISH to a dress or skirt when you are dressed up. Nude or ivory (off-white) are best, depending on the outfit.
I am not wearing black panty hose. I am wearing panty hose in the winter and freezing. Glad to be free of panty hose in the summer.
Id feel very weird going to church without pantyhose no matter what time of year. Just out and about no pantyhose is fine but class and polish is sometimes necessary
😂love this!!! Great information
Your sense of humor in your videos always makes me laugh! These are great and spot on. Please let the cold shoulder trend die!😂😂
Love the striped cream and tan dress on you. It’s so flattering on you! I never did like the pointed shirts or cold shoulder shirts. I thought it made me look a lot bigger than I am! Just not flattering on anyone at any size!
U r so pretty and classy and im so glad found your channel....im 49.i needed these tips.❤
I have one of those jagged hemline tops that I loved because it was so soft and comfy. Because I can sew, I simply lopped off that bottom edge, and hemmed it to a "normal" length. What I'm saying is, if you LOVE a certain shirt, but it's "dated", you can fix it, or pay someone to fix it. BTW, I LOVE the cat filing her claws! LOL!
I took all my cold shoulder tops and dresses to the tailor and had them made into sleeveless. The price wasnt bad at all and now they are not out of date!
A number of years ago, I had one of those "high/low" dresses (longer in the back than in the front)....took it to a seamstress and she made it into a "regular" hem --no more "high/low." Great idea what you did with your cold shoulder tops/dresses.
@dianaschoen4485 Great suggestion!
Thank you, I'd been wondering if I could alter my tops, they are still like new since I hardly wore them. Bought them for the color/pattern wasn't crazy about cold shoulder detail.
What’s a “taps”? What kind of D of accent is that?
You do a great job keeping it from getting boring. 👍🏼😊
I love sun dresses for the summer!❤
I’ve seen many fashion influencers say that capris are in this year, so I pulled mine from the back of my closet.
I’m 5’ 9” and slim. I have nice legs with no marks, so the bottom part of my legs are a place I want to show off.
Years of Pilates and Barre classes did that for me, and I’m 62!!!
You’ve got to show off your best feature anytime you can.
I agree.My legs always looked good so capris are flattering on me.
Capris are very on trend this season!
Its all about the top you wear with it and what shoes. Flats or sandals can update it right away. Besides "capris" are pretty close to "cropped" pants so not a big deal.
You wear those capris Girl!
62 is still a baby!
Great advice and tips!
Half of those styles that are now outdated, I'd never purchased in the first place. I can't go bare legged unless I have self tanner on my legs. Not showing off my pale white skin and varicose veins. lol
If you have the bucks, they can inject spider veins to make them (almost) disappear.
Easy to wear no pantyhose if you live in a warm climate, but in the north, you freeze. In the spring, when it's too warm to wear tights, but too cold to go bare legged, they are a must. Also, no worries about blisters.
I've seen some dark leggings in the winter but truly haven't seen pantyhose in maybe two decades and I'm in a cold climate. I don't even see them for sale in the stores...SO uncomfortable they were, ugh.
here in the American South I was glad for the end of pantyhose. I nice dressy sandal and sundress when it is very humid here works! Yes, for your snowy season I see the benefit.
I do wear panty hose in the winter to keep me warm!
What about hiding varicose veins, panty hose needed.
I agree with you on all these outdated clothes....however not everyone is a great size like you!
Everyone is saying capris make a woman look older. I disagree. It’s all in how you wear them.
I agree. If you put them on, you look older. If you leave them in the closet and wear something else, chances are you'll look younger.
As long as the Capris hit your legs at the right place. Otherwise, they make you look truncated and fat.
I haven't seen anybody wearing capris in decades, they just disappeared.
@pepper1188 still pretty popular in my area. Connecticut.
@eve-1 With young women too?
Pfft, i love my pantyhose and yes, they do make a leg more polished and professional! Also it keeps you warm in the winter.
I don't love them - quite the opposite - but they do perform a function. Sometimes I enjoy wearing dresses in the winter and can't go bare legged or I'll freeze. So it's mostly longer skirts with boots.
I have a very difficult time wearing dressy shoes with bare feet. I’ve spent a fortune on “comfortable” dress heels but I always end up with a blister and I just feel too old to walk around a wedding barefoot all night. So I still do usually wear hose to fancy events. I’ve tried the ones with the open toes and they can work but usually I opt to wear closed toe shoes in those instances and at least a knee length skirt so the hose are not as noticeable. I do know that they are totally outdated so I’ve tried really hard to find the sheerest and most natural looking ones. Does anyone else have this problem?
They do, but they still look old lady. Which is fine, if you don’t care about that!
@@anitas5817hose is better than seeing varicose veins, spider veins etc. That is very aging.
@@anitas5817I beg to differ with you. now I know there's a fine line on this one, and the hosiery thing can be tricky (to wear or not to wear, that isthequestion. But, "hosiery" is sometimes necessary. I think selecting the right color is what helps. lastly, it's pretty hard to wear a business suit while being totally bare legged. It's a difficult call.
I just found you and I love your content!!! Fun and I’m learning! 😁
Thank you and Welcome 🤗
Your sense of humor is great, I can always depend on you for a good laugh! I agree, why do people get so offended with saying things are dated? I agree completely with avoiding those styles! Great video Angela!
Thank you so much!!
Omg! Youre such a Michigander like me!!!!😂❤
Pantyhose -- a couple of years ago I purchase nude nylons and started wearing them with some dresses and pumps again - seriously, my legs just don't look good without hose anymore and I don't look polished without hose. Also, I am not wearing leg makeup, not happening! A good pair of sheer hose that match your skin tone can actually look great, regardless what the young girls are doing.
I haven't worn my shark bite tops in years - why are they still in my closet, LOL!
Absolutely. If your legs aren't great anymore, hose makes you feel happy to wear skirts and dresses .
Agree-! Panty hose or reg. hose much classier. But, lol, this gal is younger than me!
I agree. A lot of younger women have alot on their legs (veins, etc) that are NOT pretty.
Even if your legs are great, pantyhose or tights look great!
My legs look like I was recently in a train wreck! I am not doing any onlookers a favor by not wearing hose
If i look "old" that's because i am! This obsession with looking younger is sad. Why spend what prescious little time left on worrying about looking young?
Thank you! That's the best comment here.
More about looking ridiculous rather than old.
You realize it’s about presenting a better picture and looking current. Unfortunately women need to do this or they’re passed over in corporate America.
Great tips for not looking old. Agree on the panty hose but please know many of us older ladies have spider veins, blue veins etc so don't feel comforatble showing our legs so wear longer dresses and for sure , no shorts!
Exactly!
Agree! I know pantyhose are outdated, and I feel outdated wearing them. But I have horrible varicose veins and spider veins. I had surgery for the veins and they came right back. So I don’t wear shorts even in the middle of summer. Even though there are so many cute dresses I would wear for summer and weddings but I can’t show my legs. I know what cute dresses are in style, just can’t wear them 😢. Wish there was a solution.
I wear dresses and don’t worry about my veins. Nobody cares.
@@maggie2sticks717 lol! I know! That’s what my daughter tells me.
@@laurajohnson7836 That third pregnancy got me! No more shorts.
The Sketcher Slip On really work. I have a pair that I wore all this winter. Comfy, convent and stylish

This video had me laughing all the way through. Great job making great points in a fun way
I'm 75 and agree with everything. This was a very fun enjoyable video!
Love your sense of humor, very funny and entertaining. Appreciate your advice.
Great video. I think you're right on about most everything. But I must inject that Princess Catherine, an icon of fashion, does in fact wear pantyhose, or "tights" as the Brits have it. ;)
That was my first thought as well!!
But, NOT with sandals...ugh!!
I think it's a requirement for Catherine.
Yes! In the cooler months I wear nude pantyhose with a dress or skirt. If it is good enough for Princess Catherine, it is good enough for me. My legs are very light so it is a better look. In the warmer months, I go with bare legs :)
Can't go to a midwinter in PA formal wedding with bare legs.
🤣 You just described my Mother's wardrobe, that if she were still alive would be 94.
I love this video! Thank you!
Square toes just came back into style again this year. Pantyhose look classy in the winter with an appropriate dress in an appropriate situation. Like church or a nice wedding
Nope
Catherine Princess of Wales wears pantyhose. She is classy.
Black yes! Nude noooo
Honestly, many believe pantyhose is still the professional look in a business setting. 😊 I wouldn’t want to see the bare legs of men in a professional setting and nor is it appropriate for women in the same context. I suppose if the hem hits really low on the leg, it might be less an issue. Just the opinion of some of us 😊
And yes on square toe - just bought a pair of flip flops last week and it caught me off guard, but they are square toe 🤷🏼♀️
I watch you because I generally agree but most of these aren’t correct with the trends this year. Square toe shoes are definitely back in style. If you work in a professional job you need to wear pantyhose. Younger people started no pantyhose and most of them don’t have professional jobs. 😾. PLEASE Don’t COMMENT. I don’t really care, this is just my personal opinion.
So many TH-cam influencers have to spend time disclaiming! Drives me crazy! People can be so mean on line. I’m with you. Why did you click on the video if you’re not open to suggestions!
Lol, right?? You would think that would be common sense but I have gotten comments to Trends videos a lot in the past 🤷♀️
Agree!

Curiosity
Ignore the losers
I just happened to come across this video and it is so relevant, especially since I will be turning 71 soon. I wear my hair long just below my shoulders, I wear make up and jeans - my weight is good. I take care of myself with appropriate eating and moderate exercise. I don't look young and I couldn't if I wanted to. I don't understand when you get older many ladies gain a ton of weight, cut their hair super short and wear very unsexy clothes. That is fine if you want to. You can be sexy at any age and you don't need to try and and look younger.. just be yourself and the best that you can be.
Well, once you let yourself go 100 pounds overweight there’s not much that will help. Short hair or long, but I do prefer to see clothing in the appropriate size worn.
Yup.
In defense of the pantyhose… I wore some earlier this spring and it was mostly for warmth. I do live in a cold climate and while they don’t provide much - they do help when it’s still cold but I don’t want to be restricted to wearing high boots. I hear you on the hose but I think if you have some that fit you well, are the correct color and you are still wearing a closed toe shoe it’s fine. I also didn’t want to wear black since I had a black dress on and those nude/black Chanel inspired shoes - so had to go nude.
no pantyhose is for southern CA, FL and July and August in the other 48
I’m very elderly with great legs.
I like to wear pantyhose and shorts or minidresses.
Or just white-out my leg skin with Zinc Oxide and body powder.
I wear pantyhose all different colors (mainly neutral) under boots with dresses. Live in MN.
Its what happens up here. Its cold here half the year.
Please everybody think for yourself.
In the warm months, bare legs and self tanner.
It was Princess Kate who brought back the hosiery, and she rocks it.
I get it for sure but they are seen in a different light than most average folks. I feel they need to be more formal which is fine but I don't feel that is the average person
Catherine didn’t bring hosiery back. It was an unwritten rule that Queen Elizabeth II, required all Royal ladies to wear hosiery for formal, public occasions. Compliance was a sign of respect to HMTQ.
@@sassyt1545You are correct, I didn't word it correctly. Because she was young, the younger crowd decided it was cool.
Anyone can hosiery.
I wish I could find a brand that shows really sheer like she does. Nude doesn’t really cut it 🙃
It is my first time watching this channel… you are very funny!
I like what you said about switching to summer dresses to stay cool; they look so feminine too!
I just bought big beads to match a cold shoulder dress 😮😮
Gotta rethink that outfit 😂😂
🤣
😂😂😂Maybe it would look better with capri pants underneath😂😂😂
@@sylviekins 🤣
@@sylviekins I love your sense of humor!
I bead. I love beads, especially semi precious. Cool on the neck in the summer. Put them in the freezer perhaps.
Shoulders are a lot prettier than underarms & my flabby arms. I love the cold shoulder tops & sweaters for me 🥰
I still wear mine
They work for me too!
@@yvonnereza4824 Not really.
I am cracking up watching this video. Kept watching because so entertaining. Panty hoses, hum. I haven't worn them in years, yet I have some in my drawer. I need to throw them out!!
I don't think velcro is viewed as an 'old person's fastening' anymore. I bought two pairs of leather sandals for summer. They are youthful, stylish, and don't suffer by having velcro as the fastener.
You know the problem is us older gals NEVER WEAR ANYTHING OUT! We just add a few new pieces every year,mic we can afford to even do that. I have the most beautiful Alfred Dunner tops hanging in my closet, but Never wear them. I am now 74 so I am old enough to wear them, but they are mostly to dressy for my life style. I was one of your earliest subscribers and I still watch almost every thing you put out. I want to remind everyone that your fifties and sixties are great decades ! Dress as beautifully as you can . Enjoy every day, stay active , learn new things, eat well, enjoy your romantic life and TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH.
And feet. 🦶
Yes bad teeth...yellow teeth will age you no matter what you're wearing.
Grew up with old people and I always thought they were wonderful. I have no fear of looking old; feeling old that’s a different matter. Keep exercising and moving, both body and mind. Forget the botox and dye.
LOL you are a hoot. I gotta admit I do have a pair of "stretchy wild lookin' house pants" that I slip on but the public will never see them...hello! totally agree with you and yes we are beginning to look like we are wearing old maternity tops.
😂😂😂😂
Angela honestly those printed pants were beautiful on you! The print was nice and material/style was flowy…elegant looking imho. 🤷♀️😌
I thought so, too!
I agree. Very youthful, cute, and stylish!
No they looked awful!
so glad I’m not the only one who thought they were fabulous!
Depends on climate and where u live .😅
About the pantyhose I’ve got a lot of varicose veins how would I cover those if I stopped wearing pantyhose?
Guess what I’m on the way to purchase tomorrow? Yep pantyhose! For my 16yr old daughter that is required by a club at highschool to have bc it does make the girls look more professional and polished. 😅
Walmart actually has a nice section now, pantyhose and tights.
They can't wear tights? Pantyhose are so uncomfortable, hot...and shiny.
yes and your daughter and club mates aren't in their 50s, trying not to look 75 ; )
Poor kid!!! If I were she I would get together with the other gals and protest pantyhose.
Tell the truth… The club has something to do with dance. And the pantyhose or not for warmth or anything else but to make the girls look uniform when they dance. That’s what pantyhose are used for nowadays. For any kind of outfit or costume that requires all the girls to look one same style or color.
I just turned 57, and I'll wear what I want. I don't care what anyone thinks of me. JUST KIDDING ... HeHe! 😂 I truly enjoyed this video. It was informative and hilarious! ❤
I am 58. Dont worry about it. They are not thinking anyway. Wear what makes you happy.
@@Plethorality I think @stacylbrewer above, was being ironic, which you may have missed!
Same!
I always wear whatever I want but it must be OK as I always get compliments on my style.
@@trishagoodwin4069 EXACTLY! I should have put "sarc" next to my comment.
Those blue decanters back there! May I ask where you found those?
Love your tips by the way! Thank you!
Angela, you are hilarious ! I ;ove your sense of humor and cheerful personality. Great ideas for us older gals. I like your suggestions, they are most helpful Thanks for sharing!
It’s also true that quality pantyhose make your legs look so much better and flawless! With slight control top and comfortable waistband features, you get built-in shape wear, which almost every woman needs with slim fitting dresses or those with thin fabrics. Choosing the right color is key…
SO true.
Thanks, you are so right. I will get rid of my cold shoulders and capris. You're very helpful and I like your personality
I going to 70s and I feel much comfortable now then when I was in my twenties and I was considered beautiful . The most important thing is to respect yourself, use your skills, time and money to do good and be mindful to your surroundings and your inner beautiful and youthful will shine, even in a rag…
I wish I wasn't getting older, but unfortunately, the years keep slipping by! However, I agree with all of your suggestions, Angela. We want to hang onto our youthful appearance as long as we can!!!
Ĺoveeeeee the cat ...!!!
Loveeeeee your Minnesota? Midwest accent ....
Loveeeeee your "example" film inserts ...

Trends come and go-- and we pick the ones we like. Capri pants have many iterations. They are not "out." Yes, the baggy, loose ones are passe right now, but fashion magazines are showing the fitted legging style capris. The ones I see on older women are very loose pants that look frumpy but (of course) comfy.
The reason older women like cold shoulder tops is that it allows them to show some skin without baring their upper arm, which is one of the places we tend to show age the most. Switching to lower necklines also can bare an area that also shows aging crepey skin. A lot of your advice may work for younger “old” people. Trust me, 40 is not old, nor is 50 compared to when you are over 70 and still wanting to wear an evening top or dress that still shows part of your body that may still look pretty good and makes us feel like we are still women. I would recommend a solid color for a cold shoulder top, probably black.
I absolutely start giggling when i see the black cat filing its nails.😅 Greetings from Australia.
Love this video…..and that you give lots of alternatives and options
Some influencer recently said cold shoulders never go out of style!
I have 2 new dresses with cold shoulders! I will wear them! I live in AZ where it’s over 100 for at least 4 months! I don’t care about fashion trends! I wear what I want!
I like them too. Enjoy your new dresses, I bet you'll look great in them!
Then why did you watch this?
@@remarienash just to see what kind of stupid rules and opinions are presented!
I like them too
Yes, she’s not always clear
As a palliative care nurse I saw first hand that getting older is not a privilege everyone gets. That being said, I DO NOT WANT TO LOOK OLDER THAN I AM! I appreciate all your suggestions!
Very, very sheer pantyhose like Hanes Silk Reflections are nice and do look better with a dressy dress or skirt than bare legs.
And what about bare arms? 🤨😆🤪 Stockings are supposed to attract men. Or they used to be.
After I retired from the workforce I swore off pantyhose.
I still where hose in the winter with skirts.
I wear an incredibly sheer pantyhose i buy online thats from eastern Europe because i wear shortish skirts when dancing- i actually also use a bit of leg makeup so my 71 year old skin looks 🎉. But my arms😮.oh well
I agree with all of these except pantyhose. I will wear sheer black hose to a funeral with a black dress and very sheer nylons to an evening event. It’s easier to get by without pantyhose in summer when legs are tanned or can be touched up with leg makeup or spray.
My sister, who is 74 now, wears nude pantyhose with her summer sandals. When I told her that nobody wears pantyhose with sandals, she said, "Yes, they do." I think she's in denial! I'm 75 and gave up nude pantyhose a long time ago.
Elderly who have vein issues are told to wear compression hose. Or they think their legs are not attractive with age spots etc. She may be embarrassed- don’t give her a hard time.
@@lesann1896not with sandals though 😂
@@seaha9256 A lot of elderly wear nude compression hose with all shoes for support!
@@lesann1896 True, but that's not the case here. And I would never give her a hard time.
I have a friend who is 76, lovely lady & very kind. We went lunching the other day, she had black wedge slides on with nude (tight type) ankle socks and a skirt. I don't know how to tell her? 🤔
OMG you got me on the Capri pants and I had to subscribe to you. You are on point. ❤️
Love the Sketchers slip ins!
I don’t dare wear them because of all the shade I’d get at work lol
Here is my two cents. It’s funny how some trends are not likable. I never liked shark bite hems. I never liked cold shoulder, never thought they were attractive. Lesson learned: just because something is in style, doesn’t mean you have to like it and embrace it. The only time I wore crop pants was when I was super skinny and thought it looked good. Now being a normal weight, I think it makes me look heavy, so I don’t wear anything above an ankle length. I disagree on the pantyhose. I wear them in a work environment with dresses where I am looking for that polished professional look. Funny, engaging video. Keep ‘em coming!
Yes to pantyhose!
Try them below the largest part of your calf. Otherwise, they give you stump legs!
Agree Shark bite and cold shoulder always hated..
That is very true❤
Yep. Never liked the cold shoulder tops. I got a shark bite top on markdown. Last one I ever got. Very hideous! My older (71 yr old) sister wears capris and jeans that fit tight at the ankle. Nope. Boot cut or bell bottom look better. I even have a men's slim cut Levi 511 that looks better than what women usually wear. Too often they look like they're stuffed in their jeans. I like printed bottoms, but my print pants have flowy movement. Current or trendy fashion doesn't always look awesome on every body. That is why some people look a hot mess out there. Quit following trends and dress for the body you have!
Im 78 and haven't turned grey. Only at the temples! I wear stretch pants and unique tops to that cover things . I use Lancome makup products and Neutrogena bath . Same since the 80's . I'm a shoe person so I go to shoe shopping too often! My nails are manicured and I still wear my favorite cologne. I like myself!
I disagree with the patterned pants. I think it depends on the print and cut. I saw several younger women trying on the patterned linen type pants at winners.
Yes!!
Youve just proved a point. YOUNGER women!
@@murielbuxton6993The point is they're not dated.
@@murielbuxton6993 she’s saying they age you. If younger women are wearing them, then how do they age you?
You are just refreshingly hysterical imitating the haters! Just love watching you, thanks for all your takes 😊
Sleeveless tops are the worst that expose unsightly underarm situations.
Found your channel recently and LOVE your style and advice!! Thanks for providing practical style information in such an entertaining way. I really look forward to your videos!
Thank you so much and welcome!!
As a vaccinating pharmacist, I’m still heartbroken and grieving, GRIEVING I tell ya’, for the disappearance of the cold-shoulder top!
Not because I thought the trend was particularly attractive, but it sure made my life a heckuva lot easier during flu shot season!
You’d be surprised at the number of topless people in pharmacy waiting rooms across America because we otherwise couldn’t get to their shoulders! 😂
In fact, a couple of my patients will reach deep into their closets and proudly resurrect their cold shoulders when coming in for their immunizations and it gives me the feels every time !❤🥰
lol. I’d rather just dress for it with a Tshirt
Same proud to say I never had a cold shoulder top
I never really liked those tops, but I agree, my patients know they are coming for a vaccination and after all these years still think I can get to the deltoid from their forearm😂.
No one needs flu shots. Flu is a natural seasonal detox of the body, fever helps to remove toxins via mucus. If you don't have flu from time to time you have higher chances getting cancer.
Things that didn't happen.
I am 72 years old, I wear cold shoulder blouses and get so many compliments especially from the young girls and younger women. They want to know where I bought them. I wear capris , let me tell you the young men think I am sexy !!! I say wear what ever makes you comfortable and happy . If you are lucky enough to be older flaunt what makes you feel sexy !!!
Very funny video. I agree with most of your suggestions. I am in my early 60s, and I admit I still wear sheer nude hose with a dress sometimes. They are so sheer they blend in well with my legs. I’m a soloist at my church and they just make me look so much more polished than bare legs. I say wear what you like and ignore the rest.
I think a traditional church altar/stage area is probably the only place where pantyhose would look appropriate. I'm kinda traditional, and even I ditched pantyhose 20+ years ago! But I also don't wear dresses, either! 😅
Iris Appel made big beads and lots of jewelry look amazing ♥️
Her and Wilma Flintstone!
Iris Appel was a gem but it was her style & she had a serious shopping addiction.
Iris had her collection of things but she wasn’t in debt , it was her choice how much she owned and really wasn’t a problem. We all get to choose how we live . Iris took good care of her remarkable collection, any items will go to museums etc. ‘more is more and less is a bore’😂👍🏻👍🏻
I designed and sold jewelry and there is a time and place for it all. Teensey tiny jewelry is now very "IN" It gets lost on many larger women. Dressing to scale is as important as in interior furniture decorating.
Iris was a textile designer and found her nitch in jewelry and clothing could afford it and enjoyed it all. She could laugh all the way to the bank and windows of Bergdorf Goodman. She was a beloved icon.
I like your channel I’m a new subscriber and I’m listening to your tips and taking it in. I really don’t care what other people think of me. I wear what I like, and feels comfortable. I don’t care if it’s outdated or not 🤩
"I feel great in" clothes and "I feel like I look great in" clothes, are 2 different things for sure, because I feel great in my sweatpants, but I definitely don't look great. 🤣 Ha! LOVE your videos Angela!! You dancing in the floral top is priceless. 😂
Great comment!
