I'm not ashamed to be 58 but the best advice is to stop telling people how old you are. I can wear anything. As soon as I say my age, the energy changes. Great tips.
I read a while back, that Cher (wearing a leather well fitted jump suit) was accosted by a bolshy youngster who told her she had no right to be wearing such outfit's at her age, as it was just for the young. She told said youngster, that ''we' (me too!) invented this look, and the youngster had no right to wear it, unless we who invented this look in the 60's said they could! Go Cher... :)
@@KarenmitchellANI Not to burst your bubble but almost everyone thinks they look younger than they are. This is bolstered by flattery from others who say, "Wow. You don't look anywhere near (insert age here)!" They're actually saying it to be nice but we, insecure species that we are, believe them.
This points out what is wrong with our society in terms of women and age. We are conditioned from a very young age to devalue a woman once she reaches a certain age. It’s like, “Who cares about her, at 50 she’s basically irrelevant, let’s dress her as a neutral lump.” I just discovered your channel, and I’m really enjoying the content. Thank you!
This is so true, and the designers and retailers are missing out on a huge customer base. With the aging society (I'm in my early 60's), there are more people over 50 than there are under 50. Unless we become disabled, we have to work until we are at least in our mid 60's, so we need work clothing too. Even after we retire, we still need fashionable clothing.
A 50 year old woman can wear exactly what a 20 year old does and look so pretty. As long as you wear the correct size , at any age , you’ll always look beautiful 💖
@@margaretquigley4303and cropped tops 😬. I know someone that I work with who’s over 50 as am I, but she wears the torn worn ripped jeans etc and I just want to say “Really” ! There is a limit to wearing some items that is only for the younger gals!
In Canada the capri pant is the worst, what your describing that you suggest to wear is a crop pant as we refer to it! Or just flip up a cuff on a pair of jeans!
Hi ladies! I'm in the under 30 club, watched this video out of curiosity, and have read a bunch of comments. Firstly, hearing someone speak about feeling as though they should be hiding in social situations broke my heart and I saw comments mentioning that it hit home. I hope you all know that anyone who feels you should be invisible is unimportant and irrelevant! As a young person, I truly appreciate everyone in my life over 50 and don't know where I'd be without them and their guidance. You. Are. Important. Secondly, I saw a lot of comments mentioning the dislike of skinny jeans. I hear you! I dislike them too! Let me breathe and eat please haha I have had great luck with the pixie pants at Old Navy and tend to wear them instead of jeans. Lovely video! Refreshing and supportive! 💕💕💕
Thanks for the heads up on the dixie pants...I've never tried those. BTW you'll be my age in a blink of an eye...I miss wearing short skirts and shorts....enjoy it now!
I have FOUR PAIRS of pixie pants! Size zero from old navy. Fit like a glove. Love them. Just bought white on sale. Have navy, khaki and grey. Love them. Mid waist perfect length. I’m 5’2.♥️♥️
I’ve fallen into such a rut after retiring several years ago & especially with the pandemic. Trying to step up my game, & it’s made me feel better about myself vs. focusing on my age. Thanks!

I am 56 and have always been told I look like I am 40. My biggest thing is I NEVER went out in the sun. Growing up my mother constantly covered us. I thank her today.

It’s unfortunate, ladies our age should be aggressively marketed. We’re mostly financially stable, are comfortable in our own skin ( confident), and desire to look beautiful , because we are ladies. Great tips, I appreciate you as being an advocate for us, rocking it at every age.
I don't think we should be aggressively marketed . Be comfortable . Not every 50 plus gal will feel comfy in frigging skinny jeans on a sweltering hot day . Take the ' aggressively ' out .!
@@DP-jy2ge Nothing wrong with it. People have been applying make up and bleaching hair since the dawn of time. Even farther back in pre history when they didn't even have mirrors. Even animals do it! But I do think your self love shouldn't have to do with appearance. People (even men) like to look good and for some fashion has always been a hobby, art form, and form of expression. As verbal of communicators as humans are we do a lot of communication based on appearance and body language. Fact is making yourself look the best works. Unless your goal is to put people off with terrible fashion and hygiene or you simply like just being completely natural I see nothing wrong. However some trends or just being a trend whore is over the top and shallow. I'm more of a style person vs a trend person
Just turned 70 and I wouldn't be seen dead in this outfit! Ugh! I have always avoided large prints. Good solid colours and classic cuts, whether casual or formal are the best bet.
One of the main elements that stood out to me in this video is the use of SOLID colors rather than big prints. I have always favored solids over prints. Even small prints just look too "busy" on me. They seem to take away rather from rather than enhance your look.
I'm in my 30s, all of these were perfect! no sacrificing comfort but feeling cute and updated! you are never to 'old' to invest time and care for yourself ladies! you're worth it!
It's important to find a style that works for you and makes you feel confident and comfortable. Additionally, taking care of your skin, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep can also help you maintain a youthful glow. Thank you so much for this. ❣
Thanks so much for posting. Sometimes my friends don't understand my wardrobe buying strategies. When I find, say, a jacket or top I really like (and fits), I will buy several of them in different colors. Sometimes I do the same thing with shoes. I wear an 8 1/2 AA (U.S. size) shoe which usually has to be ordered online. If I like them and they feel good, I will order a couple of different colors. My friends don't understand how badly overlooked women in my age bracket (I'm 65) are overlooked by the fashion industry. And you're right - this has been going on for years and years and years. Thanks so much for addressing this issue and showing us how to dress so we don't look old before our time.
My go to shop since visiting the US 15 years ago is Anne Taylor. They have every cut you could ever wish for. I have ordered online since then, perfect cuts.
I dressed like this 10 years ago in my 30s because I was plus size and didn’t have many options. I’ve since gained some confidence and gotten better about finding things more on trend. Need to make sure I don’t still have these remnants in my closet! More videos like this please!
This is such fun info. Since gaining menopausal weight, I've learned that dressmakers must think an overweight woman should be publically humiliated with horribly styled clothes.
Yes I agree..you still want to look as attractive and even dare I say sexy as you might feel on the inside. It definitely feels like styles out there are trying to wear people over 45 out.
This is the absolute best video I've ever found on dressing in my 50's (now 48...) I've EVER SEEN. I'm going to completely reset my closet this weekend based on your advice!!

I'm so happy I found this video Shelley! Just this week I've been looking up trends for my age, 59, going on 60 next year. I have loads of clothing I've never even worn which are perfect for my new look, having lost weight. You have great style and a great body!
I’m only 32 and I found this video valuable and interesting. When I think about it, the older women that I know who look the most youthful dress very similar to women who are my age and they wear it in a way that seems natural and effortless. My husband’s aunt comes to mind, she is somewhere in the 65-70 age range and seems so much younger. A full face of natural makeup seems to do the trick, as well.
Your style is always so on-point, and I love how you're able to incorporate trends without looking like you're trying too hard. Your tip about mixing prints was especially useful - I've always been a little intimidated by that, but now I feel like I can pull it off. Keep up the great work!
I am a Halle Berry street style, I learned when I turned 50 that I refuse to look like a parachute or clothes too big that I'm hidden. I always catch my husband starting at me like we're in high school or something, he always compliments my dress. I love this video just confirms my style, thank you again.
Thank you for affirming skinny jeans on women over 50. I'm 68 and love them. I dress them up with loose flowing tops or sweaters and down with t-shirts and sweatshirts. Your videos are uplifting and positive and I enjoy them. You are helping me enjoy life as I get older. 😎
I love this advice I'm 65 and 5'1" , I still have long hair and I get lots of compliments about it. Thank you for making it so easy to match our style for our size.
I've learned so much from your videos! And I think you're right that our age group, late 40s to late 60s, is kind of underserved by marketers and retailers. It's very hard to find things that flatter my figure. But I've learned so many tips from you. Thank you so much for all you do!
I stopped coloring my hair last year, have salt and pepper now and I absolutely love it and I never dress to please those looking at me. I dress for comfort and what I like. Couldnt care less if I look older/younger, bigger/smaller, or on/off trend.
I agree with Teresa, and I'm watching to get ideas for options that will work for me. There's nothing wrong with wearing what you want and still being open to new influences for even the most casual style.
Hey I’m 80 and never dress old My friends tell me I always look smart and well put together....I’m a bit overweight too but wear v neck tees with skinny pants and more pointy shoes( which elongate) or boots, Jean jackets in black or white over the tee and jewelry that is long with trendy earrings and always do my makeup suitable for my coloring and white hair (cut short and trendy) I wear leather jackets in classic colors taupe or red.... that work well over simple cashmere sweaters/jeans in winter/spring (in South Carolina) ....I agree some people do need a jolt and don’t know what they look like....my younger friends ask my advice ...and I try to give them good feedback but they just don’t seem to get it......it should be fun too....I think they buy because it’s on sale or cheaper than the item that would really elevate their look....anyway I wish you luck, will refer them to your site...!🤗
I am 56 years old there is no way I am ready to sit down or lie down and let the rest of my life go by... maybe after the surgery I will feel a lot better keep our fingers crossed 🤞🙏 I never have dressed my age I never tried to dress 30 years younger but I do dress very nice when I go out even to the doctor. Anyway I think that there should be more normal average people on these TV shows especially the Bachelor and The Bachelorette..... why don't they take anybody in our age group doesn't everyone deserve a chance at love??? ????🤔🙏💕
It's great that you're still interested in fashion. However - we're kidding ourselves if we believe clothes can make us look younger in my opinion. People will still look at you and see an 80 year old - they'll simply notice you're an 80 year old who enjoys taking care of her appearance versus an 80 year old who couldn't care less!
@@essanjay8604 hey honey, wrong attitude , how we think is reflected in how we look….my mind is very active as well as my attitude and gratitude…sending you blessings …..❣️
@@galemonterio5261 Nope - age shows in multiple ways. You can't disguise it. It has nothing to do with how you think or how active your mind is .... bodies get old and it shows .... period.
Me too!!! I have been wanting for so long to have someone help me with the do's and dont's of fashion for my Apple shaped body. Very greatful for this video!!
I took your advice and bought new jeans to replace my old, outdated styles I've had for years. WOW! I bought a pair of skinny jeans in a proper size and I feel decades younger! I added a pair of Ralph Lauren skinny jeans in white and tossed everything else. I wore white sneakers when I was a teen. It's delightful to know I can wear them again and not be laughed at. Helen Mirren is my fashion muse - she's only a few years older than I am and always looks fresh and attractive, never dowdy or frumpy. Thanks for this video. You've no idea how much it lifts my spirits.💖
Hi, I am 70 and never intend to dress frumpy. I was trying on some Filo trainers that my granddaughter bought and loved them. I didn't purchase at the time as was thinking of cost but after watching your video, I think I will be buying. Keep up the good work. Love your videos and lovely voice.
To be honest with you have that ❤️ touching smile 😊 and you are very gorgeous. I love your smiles can light up a dark room making you look like the 30s.
I went to a wedding and the bride's father was wearing an old stiff green suit from the 80's. After the ceremony, he changed into hip modern clothes for the reception. I was amazed at the transformation. He was an old guy in his 60's, but the trend clothes gave him a youthful energy, the difference was night and day. Keeping up with fashion makes one feel and look fresh.
This is great content! At 57, I believe for me, I bought and still buy classic clothing some I have been wearing since the 80s. Fad dressing was never a good thing because styles change so much. As long as the clothes still fit well and they are fashionable and stylish, I feel very comfortable & get compliments all the time. I definitely like thrift shop buys, name brands yet low cost.

These are great tips! So glad I found your channel. I turn 50 this coming year and I still want to feel youthful but don’t want to look like I’m trying to be 20. Love your content❤️

Love, love, love that you've done this channel. I look at least a decade younger and have been trying to find some beautiful fashions age appropriate. Only thing to suggest is that vertical stripes are more flattering to shorter figures than the horizontal. Thank you so much for making it so easy. I immediately followed instruction and looked at Marie Osmond fashion street / images and found everything flattering and non flattering she's been photographed wearing. This is very cool! Please keep it up sister/ sistar! May the goodness of the goddess be with you!

I am a woman still in my 20's just doing some research for the future 😎 you're fabulous! I love the hair! So many woman over 50 or even over 40 feel like they can't have long hair and that makes me sad. Now I have hope I can keep my long locks later in life!
Seriously!!! Short hair is old lady hair to me. I REFUSE to go out gracefully. I have a full head of purple hair right now lol. I'll hit 50 in March but people usually guess I'm about 7 years younger on average. Definitely need help on wardrobe mostly due to weight. I'd be shopping Forever 21 if the clothes fit lol.
I'm 69 and I've had long hair all my adult life. Sometimes I have a ponytail, sometimes down, occasionally a plait, sometimes all up, twisted into a clip (especially in summer to get it off my neck in the heat). Wouldn't dream of cutting it, who said old women shouldn't have long hair...(my sister grew her short hair long after she was 50, and has never looked better!)
Thank you Shelly! I didn’t realize how out of shape I am!! I had a hand injury, it really rocked my world. So... slowly back at it. Being older will take longer to bounce back but I am determined 🌻

Boy your explanations are excellent! You don’t just say what’s good or bad, you explain why. Your advice is so similar to what my mother used to tell me. One thing that she used to say is that just because something is in style, doesn’t mean that you should wear it. PS, I’m older than you are.
Really amazing advice . I am 51 and I totally follow these rules. I wear adidas, converse, and skinny jeans, but maybe not daisy Dukes or mini skirts lol. I still wear what my daughter wears but, I am conscious of how it looks based on my body shape and size. I love your channel❤️
My style can be classy & conservative.... meaning Taylor! Bathing-suits... well just stay in Great shape too keep them ( puppies ) put!! smiles... high-heel shoes... sandals! Can your feet & ankles handle them? We don’t need to break bones! Taylor & Classic! 💕
Same (not 70, but a grandma) and I embrace being one. I had a lot of luck getting that old, and I am thankful. And we are sooo pretty and full of self confidence these days, I do not want to be a day younger! Cheers Hilda.
@Brenda Spray I just turned 60 and I am feeling that this is going to be a very challenging age. I refuse to give up and just look like a plain old grandma. I want to look my best and enjoy every minute of the rest of my life. From reading the comments on this video, I don’t think that we’re the only ones feeling this way. Take good care of you and stay safe. Sending Love from South Carolina, USA.💘🇺🇸☀️
Keep it simple . I find that works for everything in my life including clothes. Beautiful colors , clean lines , and always buy the best quality you can. And buy clothes that fit you properly. Not a size bigger to hide what you think are your flaws, and definitely not too tight. Make the clothes look good on you . And be confident , women over 50 RULE !
Also play up whatever features are ur best. If u still have great legs show them off if ur blessed with a small waist play it up with sinched waisted dresses and belts. I wear whatever fits my extra long " legs" and whatever I like. My long silver twists get compliments from all the youngsters as well as my bright red sneakers. Life is too short. Live it...ur way
Schellea, I could write a short story on style and my personal style/experiences, but I'll just keep this short and say what I loved about your advice: It was not only full of wonderful tips, but full of grace. (warm smile)
At 61 I have finally reached the point where it is about How I Feel While Wearing Anything! If I don't like the fabric/style/size/fit; if it binds/gaps/itches/etc. I toss it NOW! If I love 75% of these things, I will alter it somehow. I will not ever let fashion designers/culture/etc. decide what I wear
Excellent video!! Love it. It’s very informative. I can relate I’m 67 but I never dress dowdy or old quite the contrary my fashion sense is youthful and stylish ... such a helpful video! thank you!
Jane Fonda is 80 and she doesn’t dress like an 80 year old. What is that anyway? We women over 50 will not have a cut off point for looking good. Times have changed, we are fitter, living longer and really active. I think we need to say 'over 50 and beyond full stop. Thanks for this great channel.
I really appreciated this channel. I am over 80 and still try to dress fashionably. Most of my friends can't believe the age I am, and by the way, they are younger than me. I love the tips on this show.
I agree but as well as looking good, remember everybody flexibility is something we should definitely all concentrate on especially in these later years of our lives in order for us to improve mobility, as a former dancer I needed to be really flexible, but I've never stopped stretched since my dancing ended because it's become a part of my life if you've never done a stretch or yoga class before, I have the perfect beginners workout "stretching for beginners" to get you started and plenty more
After viewing this recent video, I am feeling younger and happy. I have allowed my age to determine how I dress too often. I am changing my wardrobe right away thanks to you, sweetheart 😁😘✅️
"It's kind of hiding me because I am not supposed to be here"... love that line!! I have tried hiding myself with baggy clothes...Going to try to be prouder of my curves!
Wow Im in my 30s, and lost my sense of style. I love the styles you showed in this video. They look so nice and you do look youthful. Thanks for the tips, Im going to try these styles.
Brilliant, empowering and on point. I’m 63 and love getting dressed for any occasion. Follow basic rules with great simple basics to start then accessories to top off the look. 🤩
I’m 80 and have rarely ever followers and can honestly say, probably never. I wear what I like and what I feel fits my body type. I have vintage things I wore when I was 45 and I can wear at 80 because they are classic and never go out of style. So it’s not only dressing for your body type, but for clothing that you will still love years from now. ❤️. Sandra
I've always worn very classic clothing and now at the age of 57, I am still wearing clothes that I wore in my late 20's because classic has no age. To bring my outfits a lift, I'll accessorise with statement necklaces, some pretty earrings or a silk scarf. The sleeveless linen dress in my youtube photo was purchased when I graduated from med' school at the age of 24. Because it's style is classic and is an investment piece that I've looked after it, I'll still be able to wear it 10 years from now.
You go girl, at 80 you should still maintain that attitude....classics are just that ...ageless.....look at how Kathryn Hepburn always dressed and Diane Keaton, always classic.....!
I’m sorry I’m just not going to wear the white sneakers since I’m only 5’4” and need a heel, so will just use a cute shoe that goes w/ my jeans or skinny pants, like booties and in summer wedge sandals, I use white tennis shoes and white golf shoes for those sports tho🤣
I'm in my late 30's and this isnonenof my favorite channels. I find myself wearing my teenage's niece hand-me-downs which is already crazy but I love how you teach us how we can style these clothes to look fashionable and comfortable.
OMG hilarious! If you have a nephew like mine who isn’t afraid to tell me when things aren’t right you don’t have to worry. At one time I was going through a pink phase, lipstick, blush, pink t shirt. At the breakfast table everyone said I looked great, my son said nothing, but Shane sat there shaking his head proclaiming ‘too much pink!’ When I checked again he was right, in the bright sun I looked ridiculous but everyone was too polite to say anything. He saved me from a world of embarrassment and when he says something is too old or too young I listen and learn!
Thank you Shelly. I found your videos last week and I love love love all your work. I purchased my first white sneaker and got it today and also went shopping for some new clothes. Keep up the good work. Shelly you are my best friend.
❤️❤️thankyou Schelea. A lot has changed for people throughout life, and throughout covid. I've started wearing makeup again am trying out your hooded droopy lid technique. Thanks to this video, am reassessing my clothes AND I recently short choppy cut my longer silver curls. It's all coming together 🤗💝
Hi Schellea, even the women in their 70's and 80's don't like a lot of the fashion styles out there, I've spoken to a few. I've since cleaned out my wardrobe of the 'undesirables' as I did the pattern test and yes it does tend to make me look years older! Thanks xxx
This was so helpful! Thank you! Going to be 61 next month and have been stuck on where to go with my “look”-googling celebrity street style is brilliant. I also think investing in some solid classic pieces now will be helpful. I really can step up to a super nice white shirt instead of Target or the GAP 😂
I saw a picture of myself wearing one of my favorite tops and realized how old ladyish I looked. It was one of those large prints she showed on the don't list. I really enjoyed this video. Good advise and I can't wait to do some shopping.
If it's one of your favourite tops, experiment with wearing it with skinny jeans (dark denim, white or a matching pale colour within the pattern) and sneakers with it before you ditch a favourite? Can you put a tie belt round it, roll the sleeves up if it has them, (just below the elbow is flattering and feminine) put a chunky necklace or bracelet with it? If all fails, keep it for gardening/decorating in. Don't let fashion deprive you of a favourite that makes you feel good please...
Thanks so much for the advice. I have also been very confused as to what to wear since I've been in my 50s for 7 years. My daughters let me know that I was looking too frumpy so I switched to jeggings and leggings and feel so much better about myself when I go out.
So glad we agree on styles some of the stores sell for older women. I shop here there and everywhere . Stores like H&M and Zara cater to most age groups . Instagram and Pinterest are great for style inspiration. 😊
I used to hate the skinny jean trend cause I am tall and those make my legs look like they start at my arm pits I look so long....so I use to just cover my upper body with a blouse that would cover my butt so to hide a bit of the leg look...still working on the jeans and breathing techniques 😂😂😂😂
Totally agree! Slim pants became very trendy but in reality they don't really suit that many different body shapes at all. So many other options such as boyfriend jeans, straight cut...
THANK YOU for this! I just turned 44 but I have ALWAYS dressed lol in my grama's clothes- literally I just liked vintage! But yes, I started to realize lately I feel older... and this helped me a lot!
I love your channel because you always provide practical advice that I can actually use in my day-to-day life. Your tip about investing in quality basics was a game-changer for me - I used to be all about fast fashion, but now I see the value in investing in pieces that will last. Thanks for helping me level up my style!
🩷 Let me know if you've got some great style tips for mature women, I'd love to hear them!

I read a while back, that Cher (wearing a leather well fitted jump suit) was accosted by a bolshy youngster who told her she had no right to be wearing such outfit's at her age, as it was just for the young. She told said youngster, that ''we' (me too!) invented this look, and the youngster had no right to wear it, unless we who invented this look in the 60's said they could! Go Cher... :)

This points out what is wrong with our society in terms of women and age. We are conditioned from a very young age to devalue a woman once she reaches a certain age. It’s like, “Who cares about her, at 50 she’s basically irrelevant, let’s dress her as a neutral lump.” I just discovered your channel, and I’m really enjoying the content. Thank you!
“Neutral lump” that is a perfect description.
So true. They forget we are still a human not a tent
Sad but so true. Just last week, I was told by a 30 year old woman, to retire cause I am old. Mmm I am 52.
This is so true, and the designers and retailers are missing out on a huge customer base. With the aging society (I'm in my early 60's), there are more people over 50 than there are under 50. Unless we become disabled, we have to work until we are at least in our mid 60's, so we need work clothing too. Even after we retire, we still need fashionable clothing.
A fun & helpful video! As a 65 yr old gal I am focusing more on what colors, & styles work for my curvy body shape. Have a great day everyone! 💖
@Joe Blo That’s how I feel most days- 🌸
Love how it shows you how when you're 50 or up to 70 years old you can still wear clothes that 20 year olds would wear and look just as good!❤️
A 50 year old woman can wear exactly what a 20 year old does and look so pretty. As long as you wear the correct size , at any age , you’ll always look beautiful 💖
Not exactly. Styles are different but your point is correct that you can look pretty w any clothes
Bikinis..and short shorts…cmon..

Nonsense. SMH
I am 45 and still dressing as I was dressing in my 20s: t-shirts or hoodies, jeans and boots. I feel myself this way.
I am 74 and still dressing in tshirs, jeans, hoodies. I feel myself this way.
Same here,I will turn 44 this month and I dress the same way as I used to when I was young
Hi ladies! I'm in the under 30 club, watched this video out of curiosity, and have read a bunch of comments.
Firstly, hearing someone speak about feeling as though they should be hiding in social situations broke my heart and I saw comments mentioning that it hit home. I hope you all know that anyone who feels you should be invisible is unimportant and irrelevant! As a young person, I truly appreciate everyone in my life over 50 and don't know where I'd be without them and their guidance. You. Are. Important.
Secondly, I saw a lot of comments mentioning the dislike of skinny jeans. I hear you! I dislike them too! Let me breathe and eat please haha
I have had great luck with the pixie pants at Old Navy and tend to wear them instead of jeans.
Lovely video! Refreshing and supportive!
💕💕💕
Hi Halston Brash! Thanks so much for watching...Have a great day 💕
Thanks for the heads up on the dixie pants...I've never tried those. BTW you'll be my age in a blink of an eye...I miss wearing short skirts and shorts....enjoy it now!
I have FOUR PAIRS of pixie pants! Size zero from old navy. Fit like a glove. Love them. Just bought white on sale. Have navy, khaki and grey. Love them. Mid waist perfect length. I’m 5’2.♥️♥️
Firstly?
Halston Brash Thanks, Hun😘
I’ve fallen into such a rut after retiring several years ago & especially with the pandemic. Trying to step up my game, & it’s made me feel better about myself vs. focusing on my age. Thanks!

I’m 51 and get told I look in my late 30’s. I refuse to dress sloppy. I love your channel 😊
Girl, I hear you! I'm 57 and I always have my clothes looking as impeccable as possible! And my hair and makeup too.
I am 56 and have always been told I look like I am 40. My biggest thing is I NEVER went out in the sun. Growing up my mother constantly covered us. I thank her today.
👏👏👏👏👏👏🥂
That is the key. Clean up. Hair colored or done. Makeup. Wear new clothes. Can't put on old stuff and run out the door like when you were 16.
Me too!
I am not 50, late 20s, but I will remember forever your words about celebrating feminine and curviness as a representation of it ❤️

It’s unfortunate, ladies our age should be aggressively marketed. We’re mostly financially stable, are comfortable in our own skin ( confident), and desire to look beautiful , because we are ladies.
Great tips, I appreciate you as being an advocate for us, rocking it at every age.
Thanks C.F. Habs! I really appreciate your comment...Have a beautiful weekend ❤️
I don't think we should be aggressively marketed . Be comfortable . Not every 50 plus gal will feel comfy in frigging skinny jeans on a sweltering hot day . Take the ' aggressively ' out .!
Why is it after age forty that they think we want to look like our mothers and grandmother's
C.F. Habs that’s so true
@@DP-jy2ge Nothing wrong with it. People have been applying make up and bleaching hair since the dawn of time. Even farther back in pre history when they didn't even have mirrors. Even animals do it! But I do think your self love shouldn't have to do with appearance. People (even men) like to look good and for some fashion has always been a hobby, art form, and form of expression. As verbal of communicators as humans are we do a lot of communication based on appearance and body language. Fact is making yourself look the best works. Unless your goal is to put people off with terrible fashion and hygiene or you simply like just being completely natural I see nothing wrong. However some trends or just being a trend whore is over the top and shallow. I'm more of a style person vs a trend person
Just turned 70 and I wouldn't be seen dead in this outfit! Ugh! I have always avoided large prints. Good solid colours and classic cuts, whether casual or formal are the best bet.
Hello Wendy 👋
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
Wow, nice, you are looking pretty young and adorable in your 70s.
I also hate dropped shoulders.
One of the main elements that stood out to me in this video is the use of SOLID colors rather than big prints. I have always favored solids over prints. Even small prints just look too "busy" on me. They seem to take away rather from rather than enhance your look.
Good tips ! I love it! Will put it to good use.
Me too. I always joke that I am a "solid" person.
@@TheStarr51 I quess I am ˝solid˝ person also.

I'm in my 30s, all of these were perfect!
no sacrificing comfort but feeling cute and updated! you are never to 'old' to invest time and care for yourself ladies! you're worth it!
It's important to find a style that works for you and makes you feel confident and comfortable. Additionally, taking care of your skin, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep can also help you maintain a youthful glow. Thank you so much for this. ❣
Thanks so much for posting. Sometimes my friends don't understand my wardrobe buying strategies. When I find, say, a jacket or top I really like (and fits), I will buy several of them in different colors. Sometimes I do the same thing with shoes. I wear an 8 1/2 AA (U.S. size) shoe which usually has to be ordered online. If I like them and they feel good, I will order a couple of different colors. My friends don't understand how badly overlooked women in my age bracket (I'm 65) are overlooked by the fashion industry. And you're right - this has been going on for years and years and years. Thanks so much for addressing this issue and showing us how to dress so we don't look old before our time.
"Google a celebrity with your body type"
Me: does Mrs Potato head even wear clothes?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awwwwww! ❤️💜
😜😂
EXACTLY, hahahahaha!
😂😂😂😂
My go to shop since visiting the US 15 years ago is Anne Taylor. They have every cut you could ever wish for. I have ordered online since then, perfect cuts.
Wow that's cool you are trying to make things out.
I dressed like this 10 years ago in my 30s because I was plus size and didn’t have many options. I’ve since gained some confidence and gotten better about finding things more on trend. Need to make sure I don’t still have these remnants in my closet! More videos like this please!
This is such fun info. Since gaining menopausal weight, I've learned that dressmakers must think an overweight woman should be publically humiliated with horribly styled clothes.
Yes!! Exactly!
Yes I agree..you still want to look as attractive and even dare I say sexy as you might feel on the inside. It definitely feels like styles out there are trying to wear people over 45 out.
I cannot get over the larger clothes with the bright, huge flowers on them.
Exactly 100 percent.
Exactly.
Wasn't ready to admit I am 55... I recently lost weight and had to revamp my clothing.
Thank you, so much for helping me!!!
I'm 65 years old. I love this fashion advice. Thank you.
This is the absolute best video I've ever found on dressing in my 50's (now 48...) I've EVER SEEN. I'm going to completely reset my closet this weekend based on your advice!!
Im so happy you enjoyed the video Lynette Young Thanks for taking the time to comment ❤️

I'm so happy I found this video Shelley! Just this week I've been looking up trends for my age, 59, going on 60 next year. I have loads of clothing I've never even worn which are perfect for my new look, having lost weight.
You have great style and a great body!
I just turned 50 & am thankful for finding your channel.
I’m only 32 and I found this video valuable and interesting. When I think about it, the older women that I know who look the most youthful dress very similar to women who are my age and they wear it in a way that seems natural and effortless. My husband’s aunt comes to mind, she is somewhere in the 65-70 age range and seems so much younger. A full face of natural makeup seems to do the trick, as well.
Loved your comment! I'm 73 and wear vans and really cool things! thanks
Your style is always so on-point, and I love how you're able to incorporate trends without looking like you're trying too hard. Your tip about mixing prints was especially useful - I've always been a little intimidated by that, but now I feel like I can pull it off. Keep up the great work!
I am a Halle Berry street style, I learned when I turned 50 that I refuse to look like a parachute or clothes too big that I'm hidden. I always catch my husband starting at me like we're in high school or something, he always compliments my dress. I love this video just confirms my style, thank you again.
Thanks for sharing your comment with us Terri Sargent 😁 Stay fabulous 🌸

Thank you for affirming skinny jeans on women over 50. I'm 68 and love them. I dress them up with loose flowing tops or sweaters and down with t-shirts and sweatshirts. Your videos are uplifting and positive and I enjoy them. You are helping me enjoy life as I get older. 😎
Hello kendramott.

Wow, to be honest with you Kendra, you have that heart ❤️ touching smile 😊 and you are very gorgeous.
You are looking young and charming. I love your smile 😊
Just turned 50; so blessed to stumble onto this video. Thanks. All excited to clear out my 'old' wardrobe and look my age FAB50!
I love this advice I'm 65 and 5'1" , I still have long hair and I get lots of compliments about it. Thank you for making it so easy to match our style for our size.
You are so welcome Diana Morling! Thanks so much for watching...Have a great day 💕
I've learned so much from your videos! And I think you're right that our age group, late 40s to late 60s, is kind of underserved by marketers and retailers. It's very hard to find things that flatter my figure. But I've learned so many tips from you. Thank you so much for all you do!
Thanks for taking the time to comment Lisa Swanson! Have a great day 🌸
I stopped coloring my hair last year, have salt and pepper now and I absolutely love it and I never dress to please those looking at me. I dress for comfort and what I like. Couldnt care less if I look older/younger, bigger/smaller, or on/off trend.
Then why are you watching a tutorial based on just that?
@@josieposie9969 You are assuming.
@@inaminute2312 I'm going by your remark. You literally said you don't care whether you look older or younger.
I agree with Teresa, and I'm watching to get ideas for options that will work for me. There's nothing wrong with wearing what you want and still being open to new influences for even the most casual style.
Teresa not me!!!
Hey I’m 80 and never dress old My friends tell me I always look smart and well put together....I’m a bit overweight too but wear v neck tees with skinny pants and more pointy shoes( which elongate) or boots, Jean jackets in black or white over the tee and jewelry that is long
with trendy earrings and always do my makeup suitable for my coloring and white hair (cut short and trendy) I wear leather jackets in classic colors taupe or red.... that work well over simple cashmere sweaters/jeans in winter/spring (in South Carolina) ....I agree some people do need a jolt and don’t know what they look like....my younger friends ask my advice ...and I try to give them good feedback but they just don’t seem to get it......it should be fun too....I think they buy because it’s on sale or cheaper than the item that would really elevate their look....anyway I wish you luck, will refer them to your site...!🤗
I am 56 years old there is no way I am ready to sit down or lie down and let the rest of my life go by... maybe after the surgery I will feel a lot better keep our fingers crossed 🤞🙏 I never have dressed my age I never tried to dress 30 years younger but I do dress very nice when I go out even to the doctor. Anyway I think that there should be more normal average people on these TV shows especially the Bachelor and The Bachelorette..... why don't they take anybody in our age group doesn't everyone deserve a chance at love??? ????🤔🙏💕
It's great that you're still interested in fashion. However - we're kidding ourselves if we believe clothes can make us look younger in my opinion. People will still look at you and see an 80 year old - they'll simply notice you're an 80 year old who enjoys taking care of her appearance versus an 80 year old who couldn't care less!
Bravo to you. I feel the same way- I wear what looks good on me and my age is none of your business.
@@essanjay8604 hey honey, wrong attitude , how we think is reflected in how we look….my mind is very active as well as my attitude and gratitude…sending you blessings …..❣️
@@galemonterio5261 Nope - age shows in multiple ways. You can't disguise it. It has nothing to do with how you think or how active your mind is .... bodies get old and it shows .... period.

These where the only down to earth recommendation that I heard in a long time
Thank you
I will certainly watch more of your videos
Thank you for doing a style video. I feel like I don’t know how to dress at 60 and have been wanting to know how. This has helped me so much!
Brenda Fisher,Your lovely smile 😊 can make the news!!
Me too!!! I have been wanting for so long to have someone help me with the do's and dont's of fashion for my Apple shaped body. Very greatful for this video!!
Hello Brenda
Getting ideas from celebrities who share our body type is genius! Thank you.
I took your advice and bought new jeans to replace my old, outdated styles I've had for years. WOW! I bought a pair of skinny jeans in a proper size and I feel decades younger! I added a pair of Ralph Lauren skinny jeans in white and tossed everything else. I wore white sneakers when I was a teen. It's delightful to know I can wear them again and not be laughed at. Helen Mirren is my fashion muse - she's only a few years older than I am and always looks fresh and attractive, never dowdy or frumpy. Thanks for this video. You've no idea how much it lifts my spirits.💖
I loved reading your comment Meg! Have a fabulous day ❤️
Hi, I am 70 and never intend to dress frumpy. I was trying on some Filo trainers that my granddaughter bought and loved them. I didn't purchase at the time as was thinking of cost but after watching your video, I think I will be buying. Keep up the good work. Love your videos and lovely voice.
I love seeing a 70 year old in Filo sonia clarke! Money well spent...Have an amazing day ❤️
Hello Sonia 👋
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
To be honest with you have that ❤️ touching smile 😊 and you are very gorgeous. I love your smiles can light up a dark room making you look like the 30s.
I went to a wedding and the bride's father was wearing an old stiff green suit from the 80's. After the ceremony, he changed into hip modern clothes for the reception. I was amazed at the transformation. He was an old guy in his 60's, but the trend clothes gave him a youthful energy, the difference was night and day. Keeping up with fashion makes one feel and look fresh.

Hello Daniel 👋
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
This is great content! At 57, I believe for me, I bought and still buy classic clothing some I have been wearing since the 80s. Fad dressing was never a good thing because styles change so much. As long as the clothes still fit well and they are fashionable and stylish, I feel very comfortable & get compliments all the time. I definitely like thrift shop buys, name brands yet low cost.

Love, love, love that you've done this channel. I look at least a decade younger and have been trying to find some beautiful fashions age appropriate. Only thing to suggest is that vertical stripes are more flattering to shorter figures than the horizontal. Thank you so much for making it so easy. I immediately followed instruction and looked at Marie Osmond fashion street / images and found everything flattering and non flattering she's been photographed wearing. This is very cool!

Personally, I am still young, but my mom is over 50. These are great tips! I want to go shopping with her for her!
I am a woman still in my 20's just doing some research for the future 😎 you're fabulous! I love the hair! So many woman over 50 or even over 40 feel like they can't have long hair and that makes me sad. Now I have hope I can keep my long locks later in life!
Hi Anna Collier! Thanks so much for watching...Stay fabulous 💕
Seriously!!! Short hair is old lady hair to me. I REFUSE to go out gracefully. I have a full head of purple hair right now lol. I'll hit 50 in March but people usually guess I'm about 7 years younger on average. Definitely need help on wardrobe mostly due to weight. I'd be shopping Forever 21 if the clothes fit lol.
I'm 69 and I've had long hair all my adult life. Sometimes I have a ponytail, sometimes down, occasionally a plait, sometimes all up, twisted into a clip (especially in summer to get it off my neck in the heat). Wouldn't dream of cutting it, who said old women shouldn't have long hair...(my sister grew her short hair long after she was 50, and has never looked better!)
Thank you Shelly!
I didn’t realize how out of shape I am!! I had a hand injury, it really rocked my world. So... slowly back at it. Being older will take longer to bounce back but I am determined 🌻

Boy your explanations are excellent! You don’t just say what’s good or bad, you explain why. Your advice is so similar to what my mother used to tell me. One thing that she used to say is that just because something is in style, doesn’t mean that you should wear it. PS, I’m older than you are.
I am so glad I can wear white snickers again.I hate those old lady shoes. Thank you for sharing. You are my favorite stylist!

Hi JC More... I love the sound of your wardrobe!...Have an amazing week ahead ❤️
I’m the same, I just tailor it a bit for towards me and my style as I’m getting older, I think having daughters helps too :))
Tallis In Wonderland - I agree about having daughters. Mine is ruthlessly honest to me and I love that 🙂
JC More I am 55 and I wear converse too. Andy Warhol wore the them in his 50’s and I always thought they looked good on him.
Gayle Westney yes mine are too ,they take things out of my hands when we go shopping and say “No Mum, you’re not 89 yet!”
Someone would do well to start a company specifically for this age group.
Definitely!!😀
Totally agree. I’ve been saying this for a while
My style can be classy & conservative.... meaning Taylor! Bathing-suits... well just stay in Great shape too keep them ( puppies ) put!! smiles... high-heel shoes... sandals! Can your feet & ankles handle them? We don’t need to break bones! Taylor & Classic! 💕
Could you please have curvy African American women as EVERYONE is not your size.
Maybe I should

Hilda Bremer YES 💯
@Brenda Spray I just turned 60 and I am feeling that this is going to be a very challenging age. I refuse to give up and just look like a plain old grandma.

Keep it simple . I find that works for everything in my life including clothes. Beautiful colors , clean lines , and always buy the best quality you can. And buy clothes that fit you properly. Not a size bigger to hide what you think are your flaws, and definitely not too tight. Make the clothes look good on you . And be confident , women over 50 RULE !
Thanks for sharing Mindy McNamara! Have a fabulous day 🌸
Also play up whatever features are ur best. If u still have great legs show them off if ur blessed with a small waist play it up with sinched waisted dresses and belts. I wear whatever fits my extra long " legs" and whatever I like. My long silver twists get compliments from all the youngsters as well as my bright red sneakers. Life is too short. Live it...ur way
I knew there was a reason I have such a hard time finding clothing I like. Thank you for the fantastic tips!!!!

Hello shelly
I love the 'it's hiding me bc I'm supposed to not be here.' Says everything. Love your subtle digs:)
At 61 I have finally reached the point where it is about How I Feel While Wearing Anything! If I don't like the fabric/style/size/fit; if it binds/gaps/itches/etc. I toss it NOW! If I love 75% of these things, I will alter it somehow. I will not ever let fashion designers/culture/etc. decide what I wear
Robin Collins ❤️
Excellent video!! Love it. It’s very informative. I can relate I’m 67 but I never dress dowdy or old quite the contrary my fashion sense is youthful and stylish ... such a helpful video! thank you!
Hi Linda McAndrew! Thanks so much for watching...Have a great day 💕
9:23 i agree with you its timeless pattern but one problem its sometimes widen the person so better to be vertical lines than horizontal
The before look is the "I've totally given up" look. Age should never be a deterrent to looking classically fabulous .
To be honest with you have that heart ❤️ touching smile 😊 and you are very gorgeous looking young.
Jane Fonda is 80 and she doesn’t dress like an 80 year old. What is that anyway? We women over 50 will not have a cut off point for looking good. Times have changed, we are fitter, living longer and really active. I think we need to say 'over 50 and beyond full stop. Thanks for this great channel.
I really appreciated this channel. I am over 80 and still try to dress fashionably. Most of my friends can't believe the age I am, and by the way, they are younger than me. I love the tips on this show.
Marjorie Bridge : me too this video just confirmed for me that I’m doing it right and having fun at it .... 😂80 !
I agree but as well as looking good, remember everybody flexibility is something we should definitely all concentrate on especially in these later years of our lives in order for us to improve mobility, as a former dancer I needed to be really flexible, but I've never stopped stretched since my dancing ended because it's become a part of my life if you've never done a stretch or yoga class before, I have the perfect beginners workout "stretching for beginners" to get you started and plenty more
Love this!!

I like that these solutions are not expensive
Brilliant, empowering and on point. I’m 63 and love getting dressed for any occasion. Follow basic rules with great simple basics to start then accessories to top off the look. 🤩
Hello Robyn
I’m 80 and have rarely ever followers and can honestly say, probably never. I wear what I like and what I feel fits my body type. I have vintage things I wore when I was 45 and I can wear at 80 because they are classic and never go out of style. So it’s not only dressing for your body type, but for clothing that you will still love years from now. ❤️. Sandra

👍😃 Borley Nun.! Have an amazing week 🌸
I've always worn very classic clothing and now at the age of 57, I am still wearing clothes that I wore in my late 20's because classic has no age. To bring my outfits a lift, I'll accessorise with statement necklaces, some pretty earrings or a silk scarf. The sleeveless linen dress in my youtube photo was purchased when I graduated from med' school at the age of 24. Because it's style is classic and is an investment piece that I've looked after it, I'll still be able to wear it 10 years from now.
Mila Mou ❤️
You go girl, at 80 you should still maintain that attitude....classics are just that ...ageless.....look at how Kathryn Hepburn always dressed and Diane Keaton, always classic.....!

I’m sorry I’m just not going to wear the white sneakers since I’m only 5’4” and need a heel, so will just use a cute shoe that goes w/ my jeans or skinny pants, like booties and in summer wedge sandals, I use white tennis shoes and white golf shoes for those sports tho🤣
I'm in my late 30's and this isnonenof my favorite channels. I find myself wearing my teenage's niece hand-me-downs which is already crazy but I love how you teach us how we can style these clothes to look fashionable and comfortable.
When you realize that you've been wearing one of the "before" picture outfits. Lol
Sending you a big hug debbie debbie 🤗
@@fabulous50s Thanks, you too hun ❤️
OMG hilarious! If you have a nephew like mine who isn’t afraid to tell me when things aren’t right you don’t have to worry. At one time I was going through a pink phase, lipstick, blush, pink t shirt. At the breakfast table everyone said I looked great, my son said nothing, but Shane sat there shaking his head proclaiming ‘too much pink!’ When I checked again he was right, in the bright sun I looked ridiculous but everyone was too polite to say anything. He saved me from a world of embarrassment and when he says something is too old or too young I listen and learn!
Me 2 lol
Right? [runs to her closet to cull several items}
Thank you Shelly. I found your videos last week and I love love love all your work. I purchased my first white sneaker and got it today and also went shopping for some new clothes. Keep up the good work. Shelly you are my best friend.
Hi Sophia Davis and a warm welcome to fabulous50s! I'm happy you are here...Thanks so much for watching and have an amazing week 💕
I'm 78 and very dress conscious. Love Fab 50. Thanks for all your wonderful tips and exercises. God bless you.
❤️❤️thankyou Schelea. A lot has changed for people throughout life, and throughout covid. I've started wearing makeup again am trying out your hooded droopy lid technique. Thanks to this video, am reassessing my clothes AND I recently short choppy cut my longer silver curls. It's all coming together 🤗💝
Im 51. And i LOVE how i look. I dress in monochromatic colors, stylish sunglasses, my shoes match my bag. I look classic and classy.
Stay fabulous J Romeo 🙌

Hi Schellea, even the women in their 70's and 80's don't like a lot of the fashion styles out there, I've spoken to a few. I've since cleaned out my wardrobe of the 'undesirables' as I did the pattern test and yes it does tend to make me look years older! Thanks xxx
My little inner voice has been telling me that those floral tops I have make me look 100 years old. Confirmation!! Out they go!
Too funny! Have a great day Rene Phillips 🦋
Hopefully donated.
Hi schellea, I turn 70 next year and have succumbed to the large flowery prints because I can't find anything else
I like flowers but I find that small flowers print are much more flattering that big ones.
I like flower prints too. It depends on the person and the print as well as the cut and design of the top. 🌸
This was so helpful! Thank you! Going to be 61 next month and have been stuck on where to go with my “look”-googling celebrity street style is brilliant. I also think investing in some solid classic pieces now will be helpful. I really can step up to a super nice white shirt instead of Target or the GAP 😂
Hi Lynne Callahan! I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Thanks for taking the time to comment...Have an amazing day 🤗
Love the longer cardigans.
Hello Dawn
I saw a picture of myself wearing one of my favorite tops and realized how old ladyish I looked. It was one of those large prints she showed on the don't list. I really enjoyed this video. Good advise and I can't wait to do some shopping.
Thanks for your channel it helps, God bless you 😊
If it's one of your favourite tops, experiment with wearing it with skinny jeans (dark denim, white or a matching pale colour within the pattern) and sneakers with it before you ditch a favourite? Can you put a tie belt round it, roll the sleeves up if it has them, (just below the elbow is flattering and feminine) put a chunky necklace or bracelet with it? If all fails, keep it for gardening/decorating in. Don't let fashion deprive you of a favourite that makes you feel good please...
Thanks so much for the advice. I have also been very confused as to what to wear since I've been in my 50s for 7 years. My daughters let me know that I was looking too frumpy so I switched to jeggings and leggings and feel so much better about myself when I go out.
Hi Therese Mensah! Our kids never fail to let us know when we look frumpy 😂 Thanks so much for watching...Have a great weekend 💕
Hello Theresa 👋
How are you feeling today I hope your day is as bright as your pretty smile today.
I'm 57 and for the first time in my life, I feel comfortable in my own skin and confident with my own personal sense of style. Great video! 👍
I loved reading your comment Skye 7 Phoenix ❤️ Go You!!
Hello Perry
So glad we agree on styles some of the stores sell for older women.
I shop here there and everywhere . Stores like H&M and Zara cater to most age groups . Instagram and Pinterest are great for style inspiration. 😊
Thanks for watching Older Women Rock 🌹
Some bodies - look terrible in slim pants - I’m all hips and thighs - bells and palazzos for me . Some trends just aren’t for every body
Totally. Bootcuts are my best friend.
I used to hate the skinny jean trend cause I am tall and those make my legs look like they start at my arm pits I look so long....so I use to just cover my upper body with a blouse that would cover my butt so to hide a bit of the leg look...still working on the jeans and breathing techniques 😂😂😂😂
I like her idea of finding someone who has a similar figure and see if you like that look. Glad you agree.
Totally agree! Slim pants became very trendy but in reality they don't really suit that many different body shapes at all. So many other options such as boyfriend jeans, straight cut...
Just because it's on not on trend doesn't mean it's not good. And just because it is on trend doesn't make it good. Whatever flatters you is best!
THANK YOU for this! I just turned 44 but I have ALWAYS dressed lol in my grama's clothes- literally I just liked vintage! But yes, I started to realize lately I feel older... and this helped me a lot!
This was fabulous! So calming. Thank You!
I love the Google "street style" tip. Brilliant! And I completely agree about big top, little bottom, and vice-versa rule
Hi R H! Thanks so much for watching...Have a great day 💕
I love your channel because you always provide practical advice that I can actually use in my day-to-day life. Your tip about investing in quality basics was a game-changer for me - I used to be all about fast fashion, but now I see the value in investing in pieces that will last. Thanks for helping me level up my style!
