I just got back from traveling to Seattle, Santa Barbara and Solvang. 90 percent skinny jeans and leggings and very few wide leg pants. I think manufacturers are trying to push change and not the public. Wear what feels comfortable and makes you feel confident. Change feels fresh but what looks good on your body rarely changes.
I have to agree. I think the wide leg jeans screams frump, especially when paired with sneakers. The manufacturers want us to change it up so we will spend more money. Kay, you look lovely in this video as always, but I was not in love with some of the suggested new looks. I may have to sit out 2023.
I always love your videos, Kay! I've used so much of your advice successfully. Sooo, about those skinny jeans . . . First: It's somewhat difficult to find nice jeans that aren't "skinny." Second: Although you look fabulous in everything, Kay, your most stunning photos in this video are, I think, the ones where you are modeling the skinny jeans! Third: As a 63 y.o. at 5'6" w/long legs, I feel much more "frumpy" in those shorter, wide-ankle jeans than I do in the longer and leaner "skinny" jeans. It really depends on your build and personal style. Sometimes, what's in style at the moment may not be something you can carry well, as you said in the beginning. Personally, I'm going to have to stick with the skinnier-style jeans. :)
That's hardly a fair comparison. I would never describe skinny jeans as "long" because they're just ankle length, and I would rather die than be caught dead in "high-water" pants. I wear straight or boot-cut jeans and pants that hit the tops of my shoes, at the instep.
@@edennis8578 Agree ! Your pant & jean styles are classics - suitable for women of all heights & body types . May need a slight variation in length depending on footwear . Personally , I'm at an age when flats or low heels / wedges are not only comfortable but practical , so virtually no pants to hem ! 🙂
I've been wearing straight leg jeans. Very similar to skinny jeans but more in style. I think all your recommendations are right on target. I've retired most of these out of style items already. Also, I'm appreciating that you aren't turning over styles every 3 momths like the 20 year old TH-camrs
Am I the only one who has always hated skinny jeans? I love the wide leg jeans, cropped or ankle length. I feel with my size (18) it balances me out. I love your suggestions!
I’ve always hated skinny jeans, I don’t think they look good on anyone. Wearing a tunic top with leggings make anyone look like a potato with 2 skewers stuck in it.
I am glad the wider leg jeans are back. I have one pair of dark skinny jeans (not jeggings, which are tighter) and I enjoy wearing them with white sneakers, a t-shirt and a jacket. Kay never says we are wrong to keep what we like. She's offering guidance and I think most of us really appreciate her approach. Grateful!
I love this! I'm 76, live in Rural America, haven't owned makeup in 25 years, and have no idea what y'all are wearing - but watching this, YOU happen to be now wanting to wear what I've been wearing for the past 3 years, since losing a lot of weight. Great news for my budget ! Great video, Kay, thanks very much.
Not a fan at all of the straight leg, boxy, loose fit jeans-trend for MY body style. I am a tall, slim, rectangle & my skinny jeans look the very best on me, followed by super-slim bootcut jeans. Thanks for not throwing those of us that cannot wear the “trendy” styles under the bus! You are always a class act!
So true that skinnies only ever looked really good on those lucky ladies with long, slim legs and straight hips. They do nothing for anyone with a more rounded hipline - the dreaded lollipop effect!
I grew up in the early 70's so loved flared pants, and for my body type they still work. Chubby and short with large calves-- never ever have worn skinny jeans! Knowing your body type and what is flattering is the key rather than just hopping on the trend bandwagon. Other ways to stay current without wearing something that does you no favors!
Great show Kay. Some of those out of date items never resonated with me when they were “in style” in the first place! I love how you relate our clothing to the way we feel. I think I dress for me. And when I think I look great, I feel better.
I wear my Talbot's relaxed joggers (I have both navy and black) when I am watching my grandkids. They allow me to get down on the floor to engage with them. I have had these for a couple of years now and they are oh so comfortable. I retired my skinny jeans because I find the straight leg jeans are more versatile and frankly, they are more flattering on me. I enjoyed this video, Kay. Thanks.
Great tips and thoughts Kay! i love your philosophy of fashion - yup, it's for fun! Yes, I want to know what's going on and I don't want to appear too out of touch, but ultimately, it's about fun and reflecting who I am. So thanks for validating that.
If you love tunics, then FoxCroft 🦊 (and LandsEnd) make a long length (no iron) button down that’s slightly tapered in at the waist. They aren’t “fitted”, but they do give a more feminine silhouette.
I'm going to pretend I didn't hear the suggestions about putting away the animal print. :) Honestly, leopard print in particular has been in and out of style so much, it is hard to keep track. It has been around so many years, you can almost put it in the classics category. I have seen old 40's and 50's movies where the actress might be seen with a leopard belt or purse, even a coat.
Wonderful suggestions. However, in my opinion, the wide ankle leg pants with the oversize jacket with flats is aging to me. I much prefer tighter ankle length pants for an updated modern feel. As for skinny jeans, I will not give them up no matter what the trend is. That's just me.
Why do people want to look like cookie cutter fashion puppets? To me, it's out of style when I don't like the way I look. Thankfully people are waking up to being controlled by "what's supposedly in style " and rocking their own unique individuality. It's fun to stay informed of new current trends but letting others tell you not to wear something you still enjoy is weak minded and silly. Personally, I'm rocking my skinny jeans with a leopard top till I'm 6 foot under! You all have a great day and have fun being YOU !😊
Love your spirit! Fun video and not sorry to say "so long" to skinny jeans and camo. You do a great job of reassuring those who want to keep going with something and also encouraging great adaptations for those ready to move on ❤
Thank you so much for trying to keep us current. I am 75 and overweight and I wear a lot of tunics. I do have some of the oversize button up shirts that you recommend that I may try to switch to but it’s gonna be hard to give up those tunics. Also the animal prints. I don’t wear a lot of them but I do have a couple of things that I really do enjoy probably will stick with those.. Love in Christ
Love this! I've been decluttering my closet the past couple of weeks so this greatly helps. I turned some of my infinity scarves into tops - I needed a top to layer under a jacket but had no time to shop, so grabbed an infinity scarf & no one knew the difference 😁
I checked out the shoe companies you mentioned and unfortunately they all start at size 6, one company had a few styles in size 5.5 but I wear a size 5 and need a large toe box because of arthritis. Also, $360 for sneakers is just really out there in this economy. On the other hand, the outfits you're putting together are really nice.
So happy to see camo is out! Now for distressed jeans (distressed anything, really! Ha!) to say goodbye! I guess I’m just from another time. I still love fashion at 72, but I prefer things look nice and “refreshed”!
Oversized blouses are maybe not the best for petite women. Petits should pay attention to their proportions. Maybe a shorter version of oversized blouse may work for them.
Re: tank top w/ opened button-up shirt: remember that everyone can't wear "close-fitting"/bodycon tank tops though. Belly anyone? (That being said, I do appreciate this channel.)
Note for our sisters who want to diminish the look of their weight: if a person is overweight, horizontal stripes are a no-no. Many horizontal-striped shirts & horizontal-striped dresses give the illusion of the person wearing it being wider/larger than they are. Vertical stripes make a person look a little taller & less heavy. The striped shirt in the video looks great on Kay, but if an overweight person wants stripes, there are sometimes the options of shirts & dresses with vertical stripes that are nice-looking, too. As Kay basically says in her videos though, what you're comfortable & confident in matters, too.
I must admit that I do lament some things as they go out of style. I loved my infinity scarves and invested in many.Easiest way to change basic dresses and tops. Therefore quite sad as they exited recently! I like the return of wider legs and variety of jeans, however. Your suggestions for what to wear “instead of” are great and very helpful!
Scarves are one of the items like jewelry that to me is personal choice. I love all different kinds and shapes of scarves. As we get older the skin our neck is less flattering. I like looking nice, not frumpy, yet at the same time I won’t chase fashion.
What a fun video thank you! I'm with you I'll just push them aside and will seem fresh down the road! Kay I heard your voice yesterday! I was getting dressed for a day of hospital appointments and I knew I would keep my jacket on, chilly in Ontario still!. I had an outfit I liked but then couldn't make a coat work with it. So I started with the coat! Switched the top and voila! I loved it. Dress from the outside in when keeping a coat on! Best advice ever thank you..
Skinny jeans are the only thing I'd have trouble giving up. However I will wear them more casual & I discovered yet another way to update them, by wearing a blousy blouse, tucked in with sneakers of course! I've never liked much animal print or camo or metallic for that matter, so I'm good there! Thanks for the wonderful tips!
Thanks for the trend/off trend update! I don't follow fashion mush and rely on a few favorite TH-cam channels to keep me straight. I'm not much of a trendy dresser, and I admit that a tunic style top over tight or skinny jeans is something I've enjoyed wearing especially in the past, it hasn't been a go-to this past year or so but I'm not quite ready to let go of my 3 faves. They’ll go to the back of the closet for now, with the skinny jeans until I decide whether they can go for good.
Glad skinny jeans are out, they do not balance the natural body shape unless you’re really slim, they do not create a flattering silhouette on most people. And tunics are just plain ugly, why wear something that makes you look like you’re wearing a maternity top from decades gone by? Embrace clothing that skims the body, even if you’re thick in the middle, as it will define the body versus creating a tent around your middle
I am so happy to see the back end of animal print. I hate it and always have. It’s not a classic; it’s a manipulation by manufacturers to make people think it’s a classic.
Love these videos and always send to my sister so that we can laugh about what we’re wearing (wrong)…I’ve never been comfortable wearing joggers outside of the home…and finally said goodbye to my capris…even though both Talbots and Chicos still sell them. Thanks Kay!
They sell capris for those of us who don’t want to wear shorts in public, but hate hot weather and need a little breeze. Not everyone wants to wear shorts out after a certain age. I don’t care what these self-appointed experts say. We are more comfortable covering a little more leg.
Well, I guess I'm in luck! Camo print, animal print and skinny jeans have never been my thing. I do have some new metallic sandals for the Summer. I've also started using my oversized button up shirts the way you showed with a fitted top underneath, and I love that look. I think you showed that in your coastal grandmother video a while back. It even works when it's warm out so that I'm not too cold when I go into air-conditioned stores, yet it still looks breezy. I'm glad you talked about the way to style the scarves now too. I was just trying on a Talbots scarf yesterday, and the way they showed it tied online just didn't look relaxed at all. All good tips, Kay! And you always keep it fun! :)
Great tips! I love how you show how to update what you have. I’ve always rotated items between storage and closet because most trends do come around again. The only things I’ve permanently purged from my stash are low cut jeans. Lol even though I’m slender, never again!
I have been wearing my husband's dress button up shirts with leggings and cute sneakers. Or, solid v neck tee, tucked in,jeans, with his shirt. I even use a belt for the first time in 10 years! No I haven't lost weight, just styling better with your tips. Oh, I am 55 😊❤
Hi Kay! I replaced my skinny jeans with straight, flared and wide leg jeans. No leggings except for exercise, so out went the tunics. I’ve never been a camouflage fan, but I do love an army or olive green which I think is a great substitute for camo! Of course, stripes are always a great choice!
I’m struggling with the skinny jeans as I find it very hard to buy well fitting jeans for my skinny legs and larger waist. I have got one pair of slightly wider ones but can’t say I love them yet. I think straight cut might be the way to go so I’ll investigate a bit. I have already moved on from the heels to loafers or pumps. I like Toms actually. I found your video very interesting and food for thought. Thank you.
Great advice. I think I own all those out of date things except the camo. I love that you gave tips to save my skinny jeans since I can't seem to part with them. I only feel the pain about putting away my animal prints but I'll be brave and put them in a cage or something. Thanks for keeping us current!
Thank you for the update on wardrobe do’s and dont’s. I’ve also heard that the cold-shoulder tops are a thing of the past, but everywhere I shop, there they are. I’ve been passing on them, but I have a LOT in my closet. I will tuck them away or maybe where with a jacket or oversized shirt. Fashion is FUN! Fashion is FUN! ❤
Yeah, it’s interesting about the cold shoulder thing. I’ve been hearing mixed messages too. I think that’s because cut-outs are in, and for many women the only cut-out they feel comfortable wearing is the cold shoulder. I think a nice subset for that is a top that features some cut-outs at the collarbone instead.
Cold shoulder tops are out. Just like capri pants. They are not flattering. I bought a couple to stay with the trends but never really liked them. Every time I see a woman wearing one I sort of cringe.
I've heard the new jean trend will be low cut waist again. WHY, OH WHY would we revert back to those terrible muffin-top/butt crack days? Please make that stop, Kay! 😊
Another fun video. I have put my skinny jeans and camo aside, but animal prints are a staple for me. I agree that Athleta has been killing it with nicer, looking casual clothing.
The oversized button up shirts were worn by all the "in" teens in the 50's. What goes around, comes around! (A good reason for putting favorites away, but not getting rid of them)
You always give great tips! I love all your ideas and outfits (actually not digging the wider dress pants with the flats, it seems aging to me, but I get it’s just an option). I’ve been inspired to go through my closet and weed out. I’ve picked up on some of these trends already and appreciate your showing what to replace them with.
I have started loving Eileen Fisher pieces, and would wear a tank top if it wasn't fitted over a pair of culottes. It is it's only look, pretty classic, and so comfortable.
After installing and removing June’s Journey at least 5 times I finally discovered how it actually works ! I kept moving around in that same room, finding the same objects over and over and over again. Now I know how to do it I think it’s great fun ! Loved the tips, although … I realised I must have been out of fashion for quite some time 😂 … skinny jeans ? Camo ?? Animal print ??? Tunics ???! They never made it to my closet apparently. Instead I found out through your video (I refused to watch for quite some time because of the title😮) that I am a Coastal Grandmother 🤣🤣🤣. Do not live near the seaside. Do not have grandchildren nor children even and yet … yay ! My style had a name now. Thank you for that !
Thanks for another great video, Kay. I always enjoy your shows. It's just me, I am sure, but I do think the button up, over sized shirts (that you suggest wearing in place of a tunic) look very matronly, even with the tank top. Buttoned they might look a little better. And I agree that tunics are out of style. But I don't like their replacement either. Thanks again, Kay. Good show!
I never did wear any of those things because I don’t like them so this is an easy choice. I have been saving a lot of money in not buying many new clothes over the past two years because I wasn’t feeling the love for most of the trends back then.!I do like all the alternatives you showed so next spring is going to be good. Here in Australia that won’t be until September but I am taking notes now.
Good points - never liked camo - never understood why someone who wasn't in the military or a hunter would want to wear it! I have a very thick waist/midriff (not stomach), so wearing an oversized shirt over a tank is a good look, although I will button it part way down, as showing my middle is not! I think I will probably still keep wearing a couple of animal print pieces (maybe a belt, small scarf), and will keep one pair of grey skinnies!
The styles change when the industry feels like they could make more money by changing the style and making you replace your whole closet for the new styles they created . It has nothing to do with what the population likes to wear .
I love all of your tips! So helpful! I really like the oversized shirt 👕 with the tank underneath. I haven’t ever worn that trend, but I would love to try it. I also love how Metallics are coming back.
Hi Kay. Thanks for the great tips on swapping out the old with some new items. I did the same thing you did with your animal print sandals, but my piece was a jacket. I had worn that animal print jacket so much and just got tired of it. So good call.
I’m more than slightly knock-kneed, which skinny jeans emphasized. The ‘ease’ in straight legs help to disguise that, as do bootcut and flared jeans. So glad to have options that are back in style!
Just realised I also have slight knock knees, but I wasn't conscious of hiding them, but I've noticed them and have odd moments we I'm like, mm, but I started noticing more lately because I'm adding shorter clothes to my wardrobe and I was trying to twist my knees a certain way to make leg look straight yesterday and I've just googled knock knees and now I know it's a thing. It's exactly doing that, my knees are facing a slight angle 😅. Hope I don't start thinking too much lol.
I just ordered 4 pairs of joggers from Banana Republic a few days ago (on sale) so I sure hope they work as elevated versions😊. Probably still better than knit elastic waistband lounge pants, eh? I totally agree with the rest of the list of what’s out...and glad I never embraced those trends.
Love your approach(push it to the back) and what to swap out. The lipstick and makeup(as well as the outfit) look great. Would you consider listing the makeup or some fraction of it?
I’m pretty sure I’m wearing this in Candy rstyle.me/cz-n/hmrqhfchvkf It’s almost all I wear lately. And I’m sure I have a City Lips lip plumper underneath and on top of it. citybeauty.com/city-lips.php?business_unit=a00f400000jv55caat&HMVQAA4& Use code KAY15 for 15% off.
Apparently skinny jeans are coming back again. I think they've just joined the range of jeans styles that are available, rather than being 'out'. Certainly here in London loads of women of all ages are wearing them
Thank you for your videos, they are always on-point! I looove the trend of straight leg jeans not too wide at the leg opening (though I'll still keep the skinnies for the future). I buy the ones with 1% elastane, not coming back to stiff jeans ever... I also buy them one size larger (I think this looks more elegant). I take the time to adjust the waist though, so I'm not constantly pulling up my looser jeans, using a simple hand-sewn trick learned from my daughter: I cut two slits in the inside of the waistband to pass an elastic all around the inside of the band, leave it sewn-in on one side, and a little elastic tail on the other side for adjusting the waist as needed, girls knot this end, I choose to sew a button on the adjustable side and add some slits to the elastic band to adjust as needed the days I need more room... The elastic is concealed and does not bunch up the waist at all. I'm not a fan at all of camouflage print, tunics or sweat pants, so I will not be missing them. I am loving the pants from Athleta that you feature in this and past videos. Will eventually consider buying.
Started wearing straight legs about five years ago after wearing skinnies for many years. Just bought a cute cropped straight leg, pretty much a skinny jean, from Old Navy and I am loving the skinnier silhouette again. Never wore the skinnies with heels. Skinny jeans are not really out, every brand still has skinnies, they are just not the "It" silhouette of the moment. Actually I have heard they are coming back. Were they ever really out? Haven't seen anyone wearing an infinity scarf in quite a few years...I'm in a major city. That was one trend I absolutely hated. Love animal print but only in shoes or bags. Always liked metallics too. Yuck, tunic tops and leggings.....gave up this look about five years ago as well. Only wear leggings in the yard or on my daily walks. No more leggings as an outfit. I won't be wearing the oversize shirt/tank....looks frumpy to me. Loved stripes but now that they are so in, I don't like them so much anymore. I start to hate things that begin to get too popular. I like when classics are on trend but when absolutely everyone is wearing something, I'm out. Fun to watch these videos and see what is in but really, in my 50's I know what I like and wear what I like and what looks good on me. I try to look current but also try to look a bit different from everyone else if that makes sense. So maybe wearing something that is on trend differently than how everyone else is wearing the trend and ditching things that become too popular. I enjoyed the video - thank you!
I relate to your fashion attitude. I don't like wearing"uniforms" .. whether it's for a job or a super popular trend. Maybe it's a Generation X attribute, to not want to to get too 'hung up " on things. I am 54, and I like an "easiness" in all facets of my life. I enjoy fashion and food equally,, but I don't want to be ruled or overwhelmed by either.
About ten years ago I just felt frumpy and short-legged in everything I had, then I realized it was the tunic over leggings silhouette that was causing this. I gave away all my tunics, many of which were very nice, to a friend who is much taller and heavier, she wore them gladly. Getting rid of tunics was the best fashion move I ever made, I look so much slimmer and better-proportioned in tucked-in tops. I only wear leggings for around the house now, because my derrière isn’t covered in shorter tops.
Kimberly, I dress almost exclusively in leggings and tunics, and I'm short-legged and slightly heavier than I should be. I will dip a toe in the water of tucked-in tops after reading this! I'm 5'2" and weigh 145 with a curvy figure. Thanks for your comment!
Thank you, thank you, thank you...I always love when you help us with this Kay...I have noticed when clothing is modern and up to date I look a little more youthful ...wahoo.😂🎉❤
In the past I have always assumed that if I saw a style in my favorite retail stores, then it's probably in-style. I never really paid attention to anyone saying something is in or out. That being said, I feel a bit more savvy when you tell us what's out for a season. I still may wear it though if it makes me feel good! And I know that's what you said to do. There are no fashion police in my neighborhood!
Yeah, stores will sell anything we are buying. But some of the favorite stores of us older ladies definitely continue to carry things that look quite dated simply because they know their clientele will buy them. But those are the very things that age and date us.
I'm not sure if this was duplicated..sorry. my comment is about the normal American women who look at these toothpick models and others who age, yet their bodies and faces don't change. These people have the funds to correct any evidence of aging, then women look at these pics and see that they're 55, but your look at 55 isn't the same at all. This is the source for new fashion, and while maybe Heidi Klum looks great in mid calf pants, I doubt any of us would look good in them. This season, as I looked through my clothing magazines I saw mid calf bellbottoms (yuck) and even in winter, capris. Neither look is appropriate for making the normal 55 year old look good. I'm 68, and folks tell me I don't look that old. But, I know this bod couldn't pull it off. Bellbottoms or wide leg pants as they are now called are only appropriate in Texas with cowboy boots, not sneakers. I am thin now, and I wear either tapered leg pants, leggings only under a tunic, and straight leg pants if I need a more dressed up look. PLEASE instead of thinking you look great in a nonpleasing pair of pants( And I've seen a lot of leggings on super large women accompanied with a short shirt or blouse and from the rear...yep) I think if you can't seem to see what you really look like, ask for frank honest opinions from those not related or friends with you, OR not your husband( poor guy) I stress honest, you can't get an honest comment from a store clerk. They get paid if they make a sale.
Just returned from Europe, and didn’t see anyone over about the age of 30 wearing leggings or skinny Jeans. Those who had them on were probably tourists. My opinion is, unless you are slim with narrow hips those Skinny Jeans or Leggings with a tunic top just make one’s hips/thighs heavier…and make the body look boxy.
I have never worn skinny jeans, for one very good reason..... they look terrible on me. I have skinny legs! And larger breast. So, I am rejoicing and doing the Snoopy dance for the new high waisted, wider leg jeans! They balance out my large breasts and accentuate my small waist. I wear them with cropped tops and small heels. SO much more flattering.
Just bought the elevated leisure pant from Athleta. Just LOVE them!!!!!!!!! They are sooo comfy and they are great to dress up or down. Thanks Kay!!!!!
My favorite tip by far is about tunics. I HATE them. They make us look so much bigger!! So much more flattering to wear something that hits above butt-level, with pants that fit appropriately. But, I will never abandon my skinnys. So for them I do go with an oversized button down, unbuttoned with a tank or tee underneath as you showed. I never thought relaxed-fit joggers were fashionable. Athleisure only, ever, for me. I kinda hate the pants you showed instead though too. They look very grandma to me. But to each his own. Thank you for the tips!!!
Ankle jeans definitely are in style. I’d suggest you look for some with a higher rise and then tuck or front tuck your top to create a long leg visually.
With no heals with skinny jeans I am short and dumpy. I am 5’3-4. I will never give up my animal prints. Could you put a wide belt with the tunic? I love your jacket! That is your color! I would never go in public in joggers. 🤗
Thank you for the video, I would never be able to wear skinny jeans since I have a chunky leg and birthing hip ..LOL..and I do not like to wear tight fitted jeans too..I love a loose one but not baggy..your suggestions are fresh and creative
If I can't get my first through the bottom of the jean (when dressing rooms were closed), I KNEW I couldn't get my foot through it -- & just forget about getting it over my thigh😂

I just got back from traveling to Seattle, Santa Barbara and Solvang. 90 percent skinny jeans and leggings and very few wide leg pants. I think manufacturers are trying to push change and not the public. Wear what feels comfortable and makes you feel confident. Change feels fresh but what looks good on your body rarely changes.
I have to agree. I think the wide leg jeans screams frump, especially when paired with sneakers. The manufacturers want us to change it up so we will spend more money. Kay, you look lovely in this video as always, but I was not in love with some of the suggested new looks. I may have to sit out 2023.
I have noticed that fashion trends take a little longer to hit us here in the Pacific Northwest, which is fine with me; I'm not very trendy.
Those wide leg jeans only look good on 12 year olds.
I love Solvang.
Skinny’s are not for me. I welcome the change
I never understood cut out shoulders or ripped jeans.
I always love your videos, Kay! I've used so much of your advice successfully. Sooo, about those skinny jeans . . . First: It's somewhat difficult to find nice jeans that aren't "skinny." Second: Although you look fabulous in everything, Kay, your most stunning photos in this video are, I think, the ones where you are modeling the skinny jeans! Third: As a 63 y.o. at 5'6" w/long legs, I feel much more "frumpy" in those shorter, wide-ankle jeans than I do in the longer and leaner "skinny" jeans. It really depends on your build and personal style. Sometimes, what's in style at the moment may not be something you can carry well, as you said in the beginning. Personally, I'm going to have to stick with the skinnier-style jeans. :)
You go girl! 🙌🏻
That's hardly a fair comparison. I would never describe skinny jeans as "long" because they're just ankle length, and I would rather die than be caught dead in "high-water" pants. I wear straight or boot-cut jeans and pants that hit the tops of my shoes, at the instep.
@@edennis8578 Agree ! Your pant & jean styles are classics - suitable for women of all heights & body types . May need a slight variation in length depending on footwear . Personally , I'm at an age when flats or low heels / wedges are not only comfortable but practical , so virtually no pants to hem ! 🙂
Skinny jeans are the best to wear with knee-high boots, because they tuck in perfectly.
Very well said. I think what fits your body style is the most important aspect of choosing your own fashion.
I've been wearing straight leg jeans. Very similar to skinny jeans but more in style. I think all your recommendations are right on target. I've retired most of these out of style items already. Also, I'm appreciating that you aren't turning over styles every 3 momths like the 20 year old TH-camrs
Hahaha! No way. I’m trying to help us all build a wardrobe, not buy a bunch of useless clothes. 😊
Am I the only one who has always hated skinny jeans? I love the wide leg jeans, cropped or ankle length. I feel with my size (18) it balances me out. I love your suggestions!
I’ve always hated skinny jeans, I don’t think they look good on anyone. Wearing a tunic top with leggings make anyone look like a potato with 2 skewers stuck in it.
I’ve never like them.
I agree. I have an apple shape, and wearing straight pants gives me a better proportion.
I dont like skinny jeans. I have never owned a pIr of them.
I never got into “skinny jeans” so moving on is just fine with me!!!
I am glad the wider leg jeans are back. I have one pair of dark skinny jeans (not jeggings, which are tighter) and I enjoy wearing them with white sneakers, a t-shirt and a jacket. Kay never says we are wrong to keep what we like. She's offering guidance and I think most of us really appreciate her approach. Grateful!
Thanks so much for watching. And your skinny jeans outfit sounds great. 🙌🏻
Why do you use so many words to put an idea across when you could come up with some other idea
I. Enjoy. Annoying. You.
I am 63 and I like to stay current with trends, but I have no intention of giving up my pull on skinny jeans! Love your videos.
Hahaha! Enjoy!
I love my Jeggings and Skinny Jeans, and I pair them with floaty Boho tops (which I found at thrift stores!)
I love this! I'm 76, live in Rural America, haven't owned makeup in 25 years, and have no idea what y'all are wearing - but watching this, YOU happen to be now wanting to wear what I've been wearing for the past 3 years, since losing a lot of weight. Great news for my budget ! Great video, Kay, thanks very much.
Not a fan at all of the straight leg, boxy, loose fit jeans-trend for MY body style. I am a tall, slim, rectangle & my skinny jeans look the very best on me, followed by super-slim bootcut jeans. Thanks for not throwing those of us that cannot wear the “trendy” styles under the bus! You are always a class act!
Thanks Cindie. 💕
So true that skinnies only ever looked really good on those lucky ladies with long, slim legs and straight hips. They do nothing for anyone with a more rounded hipline - the dreaded lollipop effect!
Agree. I don't understand why "Mom" jeans are making a come back.
If you are lean, wide leg jeans look fantastic on you! I’m serious.
I grew up in the early 70's so loved flared pants, and for my body type they still work. Chubby and short with large calves-- never ever have worn skinny jeans! Knowing your body type and what is flattering is the key rather than just hopping on the trend bandwagon. Other ways to stay current without wearing something that does you no favors!
Great show Kay. Some of those out of date items never resonated with me when they were “in style” in the first place! I love how you relate our clothing to the way we feel. I think I dress for me. And when I think I look great, I feel better.
Absolutely! Confidence is key to looking our best. 🙌🏻
You’re hair looks so good, Kay! This straight style makes you look much younger and is very pretty on you! Thanks for the tips!
With respect, I never liked the shark bite shirts.
I wear my Talbot's relaxed joggers (I have both navy and black) when I am watching my grandkids. They allow me to get down on the floor to engage with them. I have had these for a couple of years now and they are oh so comfortable. I retired my skinny jeans because I find the straight leg jeans are more versatile and frankly, they are more flattering on me. I enjoyed this video, Kay. Thanks.
Absolutely keep wearing those joggers for days like that. I certainly wear mind too.
For the joggers, what I do now is turn the cuff up inward. Makes them into a straight leg pant!
Had hoped the joggers would go away. They are not flattering on me
Great tips and thoughts Kay! i love your philosophy of fashion - yup, it's for fun! Yes, I want to know what's going on and I don't want to appear too out of touch, but ultimately, it's about fun and reflecting who I am. So thanks for validating that.
Perfect! Thanks for watching, Pamela. 🥰
If you love tunics, then FoxCroft 🦊 (and LandsEnd) make a long length (no iron) button down that’s slightly tapered in at the waist. They aren’t “fitted”, but they do give a more feminine silhouette.
I'm going to pretend I didn't hear the suggestions about putting away the animal print. :) Honestly, leopard print in particular has been in and out of style so much, it is hard to keep track. It has been around so many years, you can almost put it in the classics category. I have seen old 40's and 50's movies where the actress might be seen with a leopard belt or purse, even a coat.
Love your hair like you have it styled today. Could you show the back and talk about your haircut?
Thank you. 🥰
Wonderful suggestions. However, in my opinion, the wide ankle leg pants with the oversize jacket with flats is aging to me. I much prefer tighter ankle length pants for an updated modern feel. As for skinny jeans, I will not give them up no matter what the trend is. That's just me.
Thanks for sharing.
Why do people want to look like cookie cutter fashion puppets? To me, it's out of style when I don't like the way I look. Thankfully people are waking up to being controlled by "what's supposedly in style " and rocking their own unique individuality. It's fun to stay informed of new current trends but letting others tell you not to wear something you still enjoy is weak minded and silly.
Personally, I'm rocking my skinny jeans with a leopard top till I'm 6 foot under!
You all have a great day and have fun being YOU !😊
I’m not sorry to see these trends go away. Some of them just make me look older and frumpy.
Thanks for watching, Pam. 🙌🏻
Love your spirit! Fun video and not sorry to say "so long" to skinny jeans and camo. You do a great job of reassuring those who want to keep going with something and also encouraging great adaptations for those ready to move on ❤
Thanks so much. I do try to keep it fun and easy-going. 🥰
Thank you so much for trying to keep us current. I am 75 and overweight and I wear a lot of tunics. I do have some of the oversize button up shirts that you recommend that I may try to switch to but it’s gonna be hard to give up those tunics. Also the animal prints. I don’t wear a lot of them but I do have a couple of things that I really do enjoy probably will stick with those.. Love in Christ
You do you! Thanks so much for watching, Donna. 😊
Love this! I've been decluttering my closet the past couple of weeks so this greatly helps. I turned some of my infinity scarves into tops - I needed a top to layer under a jacket but had no time to shop, so grabbed an infinity scarf & no one knew the difference 😁
So smart! ❤
Creativity. Cool. Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say.
I checked out the shoe companies you mentioned and unfortunately they all start at size 6, one company had a few styles in size 5.5 but I wear a size 5 and need a large toe box because of arthritis. Also, $360 for sneakers is just really out there in this economy. On the other hand, the outfits you're putting together are really nice.
So happy to see camo is out! Now for distressed jeans (distressed anything, really! Ha!) to say goodbye! I guess I’m just from another time. I still love fashion at 72, but I prefer things look nice and “refreshed”!
Thanks for sharing, Sharron. 💕
Too much blah blah, at beginning.
Hmmm… not sure. Oversized would make look frumpy and old. I don’t need additional help with that. But, thanks for the video
Oversized blouses are maybe not the best for petite women. Petits should pay attention to their proportions. Maybe a shorter version of oversized blouse may work for them.
Skinny jeans were never pretty on anyone
Except ballerinas! 🙂
Re: tank top w/ opened button-up shirt: remember that everyone can't wear "close-fitting"/bodycon tank tops though. Belly anyone? (That being said, I do appreciate this channel.)
Note for our sisters who want to diminish the look of their weight: if a person is overweight, horizontal stripes are a no-no. Many horizontal-striped shirts & horizontal-striped dresses give the illusion of the person wearing it being wider/larger than they are. Vertical stripes make a person look a little taller & less heavy. The striped shirt in the video looks great on Kay, but if an overweight person wants stripes, there are sometimes the options of shirts & dresses with vertical stripes that are nice-looking, too. As Kay basically says in her videos though, what you're comfortable & confident in matters, too.
I must admit that I do lament some things as they go out of style. I loved my infinity scarves and invested in many.Easiest way to change basic dresses and tops. Therefore quite sad as they exited recently! I like the return of wider legs and variety of jeans, however. Your suggestions for what to wear “instead of” are great and very helpful!
Scarves are one of the items like jewelry that to me is personal choice. I love all different kinds and shapes of scarves. As we get older the skin our neck is less flattering. I like looking nice, not frumpy, yet at the same time I won’t chase fashion.
In my opinion scarves are very matronly. So are long shirts with a tee or tank underneath.
What a fun video thank you! I'm with you I'll just push them aside and will seem fresh down the road!
Kay I heard your voice yesterday! I was getting dressed for a day of hospital appointments and I knew I would keep my jacket on, chilly in Ontario still!. I had an outfit I liked but then couldn't make a coat work with it. So I started with the coat! Switched the top and voila! I loved it. Dress from the outside in when keeping a coat on! Best advice ever thank you..
Yay! 🙌🏻 I’m so glad that worked for you. Thanks so much for sharing. 💕
Skinny jeans are the only thing I'd have trouble giving up. However I will wear them more casual & I discovered yet another way to update them, by wearing a blousy blouse, tucked in with sneakers of course! I've never liked much animal print or camo or metallic for that matter, so I'm good there! Thanks for the wonderful tips!
Thanks for the trend/off trend update! I don't follow fashion mush and rely on a few favorite TH-cam channels to keep me straight. I'm not much of a trendy dresser, and I admit that a tunic style top over tight or skinny jeans is something I've enjoyed wearing especially in the past, it hasn't been a go-to this past year or so but I'm not quite ready to let go of my 3 faves. They’ll go to the back of the closet for now, with the skinny jeans until I decide whether they can go for good.
Thanks so much for sharing, Jenn. 😊
I so disagree about the tunic tops. I make most of my clothes and I have do many beautiful tunics customized to my size and style and colors.
$90 for a plain black and white striped t shirt? Big fat NO for me!
Well I am a lover of all thing leopard print! I will put it away though until it comes back “IN”. Such great informative video Kay!!
Blessings,
I have large calves and thighs. Skinny jeans are horrible for my body type. Very few people look good in them.
Thank you Kay! We so appreciate you and your sweet, honest, loving encouragement. 😘
Thank you. You’re so welcome. 🥰
Love most of your advice...but those highwater pants look awful!
Glad skinny jeans are out, they do not balance the natural body shape unless you’re really slim, they do not create a flattering silhouette on most people. And tunics are just plain ugly, why wear something that makes you look like you’re wearing a maternity top from decades gone by? Embrace clothing that skims the body, even if you’re thick in the middle, as it will define the body versus creating a tent around your middle
I am so happy to see the back end of animal print. I hate it and always have. It’s not a classic; it’s a manipulation by manufacturers to make people think it’s a classic.
Animal print actually is a classic, but you certainly don’t have to enjoy it. 😉
Love these videos and always send to my sister so that we can laugh about what we’re wearing (wrong)…I’ve never been comfortable wearing joggers outside of the home…and finally said goodbye to my capris…even though both Talbots and Chicos still sell them. Thanks Kay!
Yep. Stores will continue to sell anything that sells. 😉 But we can make better choices. Thanks so much for watching. 🥰
They sell capris for those of us who don’t want to wear shorts in public, but hate hot weather and need a little breeze. Not everyone wants to wear shorts out after a certain age. I don’t care what these self-appointed experts say. We are more comfortable covering a little more leg.
I agree!@@lynnebattaglia-triggs1042
I wear what I like and what looks good on me.
So we are 5 minutes in, and so far I have not learned anything about what is out of Style...
I wish leggings would go out of style. Too revealing!
Well, I guess I'm in luck! Camo print, animal print and skinny jeans have never been my thing. I do have some new metallic sandals for the Summer. I've also started using my oversized button up shirts the way you showed with a fitted top underneath, and I love that look. I think you showed that in your coastal grandmother video a while back. It even works when it's warm out so that I'm not too cold when I go into air-conditioned stores, yet it still looks breezy. I'm glad you talked about the way to style the scarves now too. I was just trying on a Talbots scarf yesterday, and the way they showed it tied online just didn't look relaxed at all. All good tips, Kay! And you always keep it fun! :)
Yay! Great feedback. Thanks so much for sharing and watching, Carol. 😊
Great tips! I love how you show how to update what you have. I’ve always rotated items between storage and closet because most trends do come around again. The only things I’ve permanently purged from my stash are low cut jeans. Lol even though I’m slender, never again!
Hahaha! And I hear they’re coming back around. But not for me. 😉
I enjoy listening to u but your introduction is too long before u actually get into the topic
I have been wearing my husband's dress button up shirts with leggings and cute sneakers. Or, solid v neck tee, tucked in,jeans, with his shirt. I even use a belt for the first time in 10 years! No I haven't lost weight, just styling better with your tips. Oh, I am 55 😊❤
Hi Kay! I replaced my skinny jeans with straight, flared and wide leg jeans. No leggings except for exercise, so out went the tunics. I’ve never been a camouflage fan, but I do love an army or olive green which I think is a great substitute for camo! Of course, stripes are always a great choice!
Yes, army green and utility jackets are still in. Thanks for watching. 😊
I’m struggling with the skinny jeans as I find it very hard to buy well fitting jeans for my skinny legs and larger waist. I have got one pair of slightly wider ones but can’t say I love them yet. I think straight cut might be the way to go so I’ll investigate a bit. I have already moved on from the heels to loafers or pumps. I like Toms actually. I found your video very interesting and food for thought. Thank you.
Great advice. I think I own all those out of date things except the camo. I love that you gave tips to save my skinny jeans since I can't seem to part with them. I only feel the pain about putting away my animal prints but I'll be brave and put them in a cage or something. Thanks for keeping us current!
🤣😀
Thank you for the update on wardrobe do’s and dont’s. I’ve also heard that the cold-shoulder tops are a thing of the past, but everywhere I shop, there they are. I’ve been passing on them, but I have a LOT in my closet. I will tuck them away or maybe where with a jacket or oversized shirt. Fashion is FUN! Fashion is FUN! ❤
Yeah, it’s interesting about the cold shoulder thing. I’ve been hearing mixed messages too. I think that’s because cut-outs are in, and for many women the only cut-out they feel comfortable wearing is the cold shoulder. I think a nice subset for that is a top that features some cut-outs at the collarbone instead.
Cold shoulder tops are out. Just like capri pants. They are not flattering. I bought a couple to stay with the trends but never really liked them. Every time I see a woman wearing one I sort of cringe.
I never liked skinny jeans, so I'm not sorry to see those go. I like the idea of more dressed up joggers.
Thanks for sharing, Diane. 😊
I've heard the new jean trend will be low cut waist again. WHY, OH WHY would we revert back to those terrible muffin-top/butt crack days? Please make that stop, Kay! 😊
Hahaha! I’ve heard that too but I won’t be wearing them.
What to wear over leggings to cover your butt if tunics are out? I honestly haven’t seen warm weather shirts long enough unless they are tunic style.
Wish I knew too.
Another fun video. I have put my skinny jeans and camo aside, but animal prints are a staple for me. I agree that Athleta has been killing it with nicer, looking casual clothing.
You go girl! Sounds like a great plan. 🙌🏻
The oversized button up shirts were worn by all the "in" teens in the 50's. What goes around, comes around! (A good reason for putting favorites away, but not getting rid of them)
I liked the video, but I really feel the “wear instead” outfits are giving off a more “mature” look. I’m not quite ready for that.
I think it's more leggings than skinny jeans.
You always give great tips! I love all your ideas and outfits (actually not digging the wider dress pants with the flats, it seems aging to me, but I get it’s just an option). I’ve been inspired to go through my closet and weed out. I’ve picked up on some of these trends already and appreciate your showing what to replace them with.
Not giving up my skinny jeans! Wide leg pants are not attractive in my opinion and not flattering. I’ll just be out of style!👍
I have started loving Eileen Fisher pieces, and would wear a tank top if it wasn't fitted over a pair of culottes. It is it's only look, pretty classic, and so comfortable.
After installing and removing June’s Journey at least 5 times I finally discovered how it actually works ! I kept moving around in that same room, finding the same objects over and over and over again. Now I know how to do it I think it’s great fun ! Loved the tips, although … I realised I must have been out of fashion for quite some time 😂 … skinny jeans ? Camo ?? Animal print ??? Tunics ???! They never made it to my closet apparently. Instead I found out through your video (I refused to watch for quite some time because of the title😮) that I am a Coastal Grandmother 🤣🤣🤣. Do not live near the seaside. Do not have grandchildren nor children even and yet … yay ! My style had a name now. Thank you for that !
I had the same experience with Junes journey. Help!!
@@kathydilorenzo9744 My husband cleared my problems. But Google the rules or have a look on YT if you still have these problems. Success !
Thanks for another great video, Kay. I always enjoy your shows. It's just me, I am sure, but I do think the button up, over sized shirts (that you suggest wearing in place of a tunic) look very matronly, even with the tank top. Buttoned they might look a little better. And I agree that tunics are out of style. But I don't like their replacement either.
Thanks again, Kay. Good show!
Thanks for watching. 😊
I never did wear any of those things because I don’t like them so this is an easy choice. I have been saving a lot of money in not buying many new clothes over the past two years because I wasn’t feeling the love for most of the trends back then.!I do like all the alternatives you showed so next spring is going to be good. Here in Australia that won’t be until September but I am taking notes now.
Great video, Kay! A timely reminder to update some items to stay current!
Right. That’s all it takes really. Just being mindful of a few things. 😉
Good points - never liked camo - never understood why someone who wasn't in the military or a hunter would want to wear it! I have a very thick waist/midriff (not stomach), so wearing an oversized shirt over a tank is a good look, although I will button it part way down, as showing my middle is not! I think I will probably still keep wearing a couple of animal print pieces (maybe a belt, small scarf), and will keep one pair of grey skinnies!
Good plan. Thanks so much for sharing, Fiona. 💕
Horizontal stripes add pounds even on you and you are in great shape!
I completely disagree. But thanks for watching. 💕
The styles change when the industry feels like they could make more money by changing the style and making you replace your whole closet for the new styles they created . It has nothing to do with what the population likes to wear .
I love all of your tips! So helpful! I really like the oversized shirt 👕 with the tank underneath. I haven’t ever worn that trend, but I would love to try it. I also love how Metallics are coming back.
Great! Thanks so much. 🥰
Hi Kay. Thanks for the great tips on swapping out the old with some new items. I did the same thing you did with your animal print sandals, but my piece was a jacket. I had worn that animal print jacket so much and just got tired of it. So good call.
I’m more than slightly knock-kneed, which skinny jeans emphasized. The ‘ease’ in straight legs help to disguise that, as do bootcut and flared jeans. So glad to have options that are back in style!
Same here. Thought I was the only one who had this problem. Skinny jeans & leggings just emphasized the terrible shape of having knock knees.
Just realised I also have slight knock knees, but I wasn't conscious of hiding them, but I've noticed them and have odd moments we I'm like, mm, but I started noticing more lately because I'm adding shorter clothes to my wardrobe and I was trying to twist my knees a certain way to make leg look straight yesterday and I've just googled knock knees and now I know it's a thing. It's exactly doing that, my knees are facing a slight angle 😅. Hope I don't start thinking too much lol.
I just ordered 4 pairs of joggers from Banana Republic a few days ago (on sale) so I sure hope they work as elevated versions😊. Probably still better than knit elastic waistband lounge pants, eh? I totally agree with the rest of the list of what’s out...and glad I never embraced those trends.
Love your approach(push it to the back) and what to swap out. The lipstick and makeup(as well as the outfit) look great. Would you consider listing the makeup or some fraction of it?
I agree! I always want to know the lip and nail color. I have similar coloring.
I’m pretty sure I’m wearing this in Candy rstyle.me/cz-n/hmrqhfchvkf It’s almost all I wear lately. And I’m sure I have a City Lips lip plumper underneath and on top of it. citybeauty.com/city-lips.php?business_unit=a00f400000jv55caat&HMVQAA4& Use code KAY15 for 15% off.
Apparently skinny jeans are coming back again. I think they've just joined the range of jeans styles that are available, rather than being 'out'. Certainly here in London loads of women of all ages are wearing them
Thank you for your videos, they are always on-point! I looove the trend of straight leg jeans not too wide at the leg opening (though I'll still keep the skinnies for the future). I buy the ones with 1% elastane, not coming back to stiff jeans ever... I also buy them one size larger (I think this looks more elegant). I take the time to adjust the waist though, so I'm not constantly pulling up my looser jeans, using a simple hand-sewn trick learned from my daughter: I cut two slits in the inside of the waistband to pass an elastic all around the inside of the band, leave it sewn-in on one side, and a little elastic tail on the other side for adjusting the waist as needed, girls knot this end, I choose to sew a button on the adjustable side and add some slits to the elastic band to adjust as needed the days I need more room... The elastic is concealed and does not bunch up the waist at all.
I'm not a fan at all of camouflage print, tunics or sweat pants, so I will not be missing them. I am loving the pants from Athleta that you feature in this and past videos. Will eventually consider buying.
Camo is needed for hunting and only looks good on people younger than 30 - older crowd seems to look like we are trying too hard - IMHO
Started wearing straight legs about five years ago after wearing skinnies for many years. Just bought a cute cropped straight leg, pretty much a skinny jean, from Old Navy and I am loving the skinnier silhouette again. Never wore the skinnies with heels. Skinny jeans are not really out, every brand still has skinnies, they are just not the "It" silhouette of the moment. Actually I have heard they are coming back. Were they ever really out? Haven't seen anyone wearing an infinity scarf in quite a few years...I'm in a major city. That was one trend I absolutely hated. Love animal print but only in shoes or bags. Always liked metallics too. Yuck, tunic tops and leggings.....gave up this look about five years ago as well. Only wear leggings in the yard or on my daily walks. No more leggings as an outfit. I won't be wearing the oversize shirt/tank....looks frumpy to me. Loved stripes but now that they are so in, I don't like them so much anymore. I start to hate things that begin to get too popular. I like when classics are on trend but when absolutely everyone is wearing something, I'm out. Fun to watch these videos and see what is in but really, in my 50's I know what I like and wear what I like and what looks good on me. I try to look current but also try to look a bit different from everyone else if that makes sense. So maybe wearing something that is on trend differently than how everyone else is wearing the trend and ditching things that become too popular. I enjoyed the video - thank you!
I relate to your fashion attitude.
I don't like wearing"uniforms" .. whether it's for a job or a super popular trend.
Maybe it's a Generation X attribute, to not want to to get too 'hung up " on things.
I am 54, and I like an "easiness" in all facets of my life.
I enjoy fashion and food equally,, but I don't want to be ruled or overwhelmed by either.
@@Sandra-bx6yy I'm 57 and that is exactly how I feel too! Everything needs to be easy.🙂
About ten years ago I just felt frumpy and short-legged in everything I had, then I realized it was the tunic over leggings silhouette that was causing this. I gave away all my tunics, many of which were very nice, to a friend who is much taller and heavier, she wore them gladly. Getting rid of tunics was the best fashion move I ever made, I look so much slimmer and better-proportioned in tucked-in tops. I only wear leggings for around the house now, because my derrière isn’t covered in shorter tops.
Kimberly, I dress almost exclusively in leggings and tunics, and I'm short-legged and slightly heavier than I should be. I will dip a toe in the water of tucked-in tops after reading this! I'm 5'2" and weigh 145 with a curvy figure. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks so much for sharing, Kimberly. Inspiring. 💕
Thank you, thank you, thank you...I always love when you help us with this Kay...I have noticed when clothing is modern and up to date I look a little more youthful ...wahoo.😂🎉❤
Exactly! Thanks for watching. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. 💕
Hey Kay! Love your suggestions and how you present them. Thank you 🌹
Capris are still out, sorry Ladies but just don't!
In the past I have always assumed that if I saw a style in my favorite retail stores, then it's probably in-style. I never really paid attention to anyone saying something is in or out. That being said, I feel a bit more savvy when you tell us what's out for a season. I still may wear it though if it makes me feel good! And I know that's what you said to do. There are no fashion police in my neighborhood!
Yeah, stores will sell anything we are buying. But some of the favorite stores of us older ladies definitely continue to carry things that look quite dated simply because they know their clientele will buy them. But those are the very things that age and date us.
I don't really wear skinny jeans, but I have always worn straight or boot cut which never really go out of style in my book.
Some styles come back in style. I hold on to some things that I love, and sometimes change them up a bit.
Fashion Is Fun 😊 🎉
🙌🏻
I'm not sure if this was duplicated..sorry. my comment is about the normal American women who look at these toothpick models and others who age, yet their bodies and faces don't change. These people have the funds to correct any evidence of aging, then women look at these pics and see that they're 55, but your look at 55 isn't the same at all. This is the source for new fashion, and while maybe Heidi Klum looks great in mid calf pants, I doubt any of us would look good in them. This season, as I looked through my clothing magazines I saw mid calf bellbottoms (yuck) and even in winter, capris. Neither look is appropriate for making the normal 55 year old look good. I'm 68, and folks tell me I don't look that old. But, I know this bod couldn't pull it off. Bellbottoms or wide leg pants as they are now called are only appropriate in Texas with cowboy boots, not sneakers. I am thin now, and I wear either tapered leg pants, leggings only under a tunic, and straight leg pants if I need a more dressed up look. PLEASE instead of thinking you look great in a nonpleasing pair of pants( And I've seen a lot of leggings on super large women accompanied with a short shirt or blouse and from the rear...yep) I think if you can't seem to see what you really look like, ask for frank honest opinions from those not related or friends with you, OR not your husband( poor guy) I stress honest, you can't get an honest comment from a store clerk. They get paid if they make a sale.
Just returned from Europe, and didn’t see anyone over about the age of 30 wearing leggings or skinny Jeans. Those who had them on were probably tourists. My opinion is, unless you are slim with narrow hips those Skinny Jeans or Leggings with a tunic top just make one’s hips/thighs heavier…and make the body look boxy.
I have never worn skinny jeans, for one very good reason..... they look terrible on me. I have skinny legs! And larger breast. So, I am rejoicing and doing the Snoopy dance for the new high waisted, wider leg jeans! They balance out my large breasts and accentuate my small waist. I wear them with cropped tops and small heels. SO much more flattering.
Just bought the elevated leisure pant from Athleta. Just LOVE them!!!!!!!!! They are sooo comfy and they are great to dress up or down. Thanks Kay!!!!!
My favorite tip by far is about tunics. I HATE them. They make us look so much bigger!! So much more flattering to wear something that hits above butt-level, with pants that fit appropriately.
But, I will never abandon my skinnys. So for them I do go with an oversized button down, unbuttoned with a tank or tee underneath as you showed.
I never thought relaxed-fit joggers were fashionable. Athleisure only, ever, for me. I kinda hate the pants you showed instead though too. They look very grandma to me. But to each his own. Thank you for the tips!!!
Are these cropped ankle pants really in style? Although I have a cute figure, I'm short with thick legs, and always feel that they aren't flattering.
Ankle jeans definitely are in style. I’d suggest you look for some with a higher rise and then tuck or front tuck your top to create a long leg visually.
With no heals with skinny jeans I am short and dumpy. I am 5’3-4. I will never give up my animal prints. Could you put a wide belt with the tunic? I love your jacket! That is your color! I would never go in public in joggers. 🤗
Thank you for the video, I would never be able to wear skinny jeans since I have a chunky leg and birthing hip ..LOL..and I do not like to wear tight fitted jeans too..I love a loose one but not baggy..your suggestions are fresh and creative
If I can't get my first through the bottom of the jean (when dressing rooms were closed), I KNEW I couldn't get my foot through it -- & just forget about getting it over my thigh😂
