I am 65 and I wear whatever I like, including fashion trends. If anyone doesn't like it, not my problem. The best thing about getting older is that I don't care what other people think.
ingrid Hi Ingrid. I do wear ripped jeans. I wear them with a classic top and point toe shoes in summer and ankle boots in winter. It’s about not wearing too many trends at the same time and not showing too much skin. And in the end it’s about what makes me happy, not anyone else. Love to you.
After all, that's exactly what trends setters do! They wear whatever the hell they like! It took me a while to understand, but now I feel so much more comfortable in my clothes and body. The lady's intentions are good though.
I just turned 67 last week. I wear what I think looks "good" on me. Some new styled trends do and some don't. If you know your body type, there should be no problem knowing what you can wear w/o looking out of touch.
I’m 71..... it’s genetic but I can pass for 51 and keeping in shape, nice hair, “less is more” makeup and I can almost get away with anything..... however LOOK AT PICS of oneself now and then and if you are honest with yourself - you will cringe at how badly you look sometimes!!!! Self included!!!! I travel a lot and simple classy (even jeans with holes) can look great with classic pumps, etc! Just wearing “what you want” does NOT do much for your self image if it makes other cringe! I like being admired for the way I dress.... not laughed at Just my HUmble Opinion!!!!
I will turn 54 this year and I have no problem wearing what is in style. I do see lots of women my age and a little older who got stuck in the 90s and it does age a person so bad. I won't wear a crop top, mini skirt, or very short shorts but if I really like a style I will try to add it in somewhere. No one ever mentions this but I think staying fit is another way to staying style, or age gracefully 💜💜💜
I am 51 and I agree that being too trendy makes a person seem like they are trying hard to be young, but being stuck in the ‘80’s or ‘90’s, especially when it comes to hairstyles, is even worse!
Dawn Loves Couture I’m 50 and a hairstylist. It always hurts my heart when a woman comes in and can’t seem to part with her old hairstyle. I still have a lady that no matter how much I try to show her how great she looks with her hair styled naturally, she still leaves my chair and styles her hair like she did in the 80s.
I hit 60 this year which I really find hard to believe, in general I think fashion and trends can be followed by all ages nowadays it’s just a case of adapting them to suit you and your life. I agree, I just want to be the best version of 60 year old me that I can.
I whish the title of this video was: How to look modern at any age, because the only thing that really ages us is time and there is nothing wrong with that. The most precious thing we get with age is that we can finally stop obsessing about our looks, stop trying to look younger (or not looking older), relax about who we really are, feel comfortable in our body (and our clothes) and concentrate to other important things in our lives.
I wear a lot less make up now that I'm in my late 50's. I wear foundation medium coverage and dewey, but only very neutral/natural shadow only to cover light veins on my lids, a sweep of blush....a tiny bit of highlight on cupids and here and there. I've always dressed a bit bohemian/hippy even as a teen. Yet, I mix it up and have a lot of classic timeless pieces as well as a few age appropriate on trend items which are not at all hippy or bohemian. Shorts are always to just above my knee. I think maxi dresses look lovely on those that are over 5'8" or taller. I agree regarding not pigeon holing ourselves! Your video was appreciated and I enjoyed it!
I love the way you talk about fashion! Your videos teach me a new sense of style! I am 58 years old and the best thing is that you say that you can be stylish at any age.😍
@@Thestyleinsider. thank you for your prompt response, I love your channel and try to participate so we learn more and more,from a great professional like you ! Thanks again.
@@Thestyleinsider. Yes, I didn't know if the photos were supposed to show good or bad! I thought they looked good; hopefully they were. Thanks for the tips, always useful.
I wish you could have used more 'everyday' people for your examples. These models really don't help that much. It's hard to translate into everyday fashion.
I agree. Don't know if pictures were examples of do's or don'ts as most of the models were very young. Very confusing! Hard to like videos where the message is confusing! Thumbs down👎👎!
I so agree. The models were dressed in outfits most of us wouldn't even wear. It would be more helpful to show us before and after photos on real bodies, not these skinny-ass models that I can't relate to.
Fashion is aspirational. Take the details that work for you, your personality, and your body type and incorporate them into a style that’s uniquely yours. I’m only 4”11’ and I don’t expect to see women my size represented in fashion photos - that’s OK. I can still take ideas and fly with them.
There is this old saying: teeth and white (hair) they lie, the back and feet (walking with confidence and energy) the truth reveal (about the age of a person).
My advice: Taking care of your body (try to stay fit and lean) and hair (regular visits to the hairdresser, not getting stuck in an old style and trying to take care of the hair and also continue to style it at home) as well as good skin care are important. Also avoid using too much makeup but I do recommend to continue to make an effort to look your best by using at least some makeup products (e.g. lightly fill in eyebrows to frame the face, use some mascara, some local covering of strong pigmentation or scars and a little blush).
This sounds like a man trying to give advice to some woman in the 80s. Maybe you can’t dress at different sizes but a lot of other people can. Your advice is great for people who are scared to live life on their own terms!
I'm turning 50 soon and now I'm trying to invest in good quality classic up to date pieces that will last me few years...ah, and no more cheap uncomfy shoes...same as clothes, I'm investing a little more for good comfy modern but classic shoes.
I don't like leaving negative comments, but I feel the examples shown are now any styles I would want to copy, and some are a little ridiculous in my opinion. I like to stick to classy, well fitting flattering styles. I would never leave the house wearing super wide black pants with laces up the sides with ridiculous platform wedge shoes and oversize circle sunglasses. Just my humble opinion. If that's style, I'd rather be frumpy. I also enjoy wearing black, I feel it's elegant and always get compliments.
I agree! Wasn't sure if photos were examples of do's or don'ts, or maybe both! I hope the black wide legs with lace up sides were intended as a don't!!?? Who knows?? While verbal content made sense, pictures used in examples were confusing/contradicting! Wouldn't wear some of it at any age!!!
ivanete roark aww thank you and I was thinking of making a what I eat in a day type of video but wasn’t sure if anyone would be interested so thank you for asking 👍🏻
I wear less makeup as I get older, and I Iike to wear grey and black as I get compliments when I do. I have short silver hair, and if you get a regular good haircut and wear a small amount of jewelry, you look great as you age. I think too much eyebrow makeup ages you!
I agree! I find myself wearing more black because it contrasts so dramatically with my grey hair. With a perfectly cut, chin length bob, it looks chic and suits my personality.
Black clothing....guilty as charged! I have been working over the past year to make some changes and expand my color palette (especially since my good friend threatened to come over and burn all my black clothing!!!) So....I have found by appropriately combining my black pieces with patterns, prints, or color and accessorizing some of my outfits with fun and flattering items, my black items take on a whole new personality. I am happy....no more arson threats!
When you are wearing YOUR colour; that colour that does EVERYTHING for you, EVERYONE will notice and tell you how fabulous you look. So PAY ATTENTION! And, like Leonie said; You don't need to go and have your colours done.
I follow Lyn Slater the Accidental Icon, she is fabulous!! No fear in her choices. Stay fit, smile and keep the hair and makeup flattering and no problem being "in style".
Some of those pictures of models wearing the "in" styles were actually hideous. I once heard "dress for the body you have now". Dress for your age, body type, body size, comfort and what makes you feel good about yourself.... that's different for everybody.
Very good video. I'm 57 finding a lot of joy in styling ideas and I am not limiting myself to what those around me feel is age appropriate. So as long as I feel comfortable and feel stylish in what adorn my body. I don't want to hear other opinion because a lot of us 50+ have worked hard to stay fit and if you decide you want to wear a bikini do it. Society is always setting rules for women thru our aging process and nothing set up for men. Like the content provided and the examples shown. Thanks for sharing and continued blessing in 2019.
I totally agree! Society LOVES to tell a woman she is too old, too fat, too thin, too fill-in-the-blank. Yes, my style has matured but if I love it and I look good in it I will wear it. This was true at 19, 49 and I hope will be at 109. =). My surname is Oates too, btw. Not a ton of us in the world. Cheers!
I agree w everything. You have to aim for a nice balanced outfit that is comfy, stylish, timeless w some classy and trendy pieces mixed in. The result should be pleasing to the eye, make you confident and happy.
I like your tips and especially #9... I will be turning 40 in a few months and I still love to try new trends and mix them into my personal style. It's definitely all about balance I think and not over-doing it. You look amazing for 52 btw!
I’m 53 and I’m having so much fun with fashion again. It’s a perfect way for me to express myself. I definitely don’t want to wear anything that’s going to age me but that’s just my opinion, at the end of the day I wear what makes me feel good. How I dress really depends on my mood when I wake up and the weather. Taking care of myself and looking good makes me feel great even when I feel like crap at times. Great video, I loved it! Good advice about the fanny packs. Dressing can be challenging for me because of a bulge on my side that I developed after my liver resection. I came up with the idea of wearing lots of different fanny packs to hide it. It gets very challenging with anything that’s fitted and that shows my waistline. I’m passionate about fashion so much and I’m always having to come up with ideas to conceal my arm and bulges from surgeries. Fashion is a great way to express yourselves ladies, have fun with it. Sending positive vibes to all the woman around the world. Remember, we are all beautiful!!! 🙌🏽✌🏼☝️🙏🏿💕
Or don’t dye at all. Grey hair can be so chic, if kept in a simple, modern cut. (Or even in a long, wavy, natural style, if that’s your personality) IMO, grey hair exudes confidence.
Yes! And streaks emphasise wrinkles a lot. Its like stripes and stripes. All I see is stripes. And wrinkles look like stripes. Having said that, my own hair has greyed into its own streaks!!! Shrugs... ; )
I like a just below the knee skirt. A bias cut skirt with zero pleats looks chic and helps to hide lumps and bumps. I would add gathered skirts to this list
I am 55,, I agree totally only with one of your points -- and that is the long frumpy skirt, especially floral patterns... black is THE BEST COLOUR of all, it only needs a scarf
I think one of the "dated" looks of right now, are the trend to giant dark eyebrows. They are the only thing I see when watching this lady's video. Very Groucho Marx of yester year. I know everyone loves them - I am probably the only one that finds them funny.
Seaside Mom, no you are not the only one! I have naturally thick eyebrows and I do prefer to keep them thick as opposed to ridiculously thin. The difference is I don't "draw" my eyebrows on!! I do try to keep them neatly groomed, however! Drawn on eyebrows look funny whether thick or thin because they're not natural. Would only draw them on if my natural eyebrows were lost due to medical condition/treatment.
It was Brooke Shields that made big brows popular back in the day, wasn't it? No plucking or shaping. I have started to do some shaping recently to avoid the current trend. @@debjax9241
Happy Birthday! You look fantastic! I will be 65 this summer, and though I look older, I am pretty sure I've never looked better! Super helpful color tip I learned somewhere online: take a color you are considering, and with pulled back hair and minimal makeup, drape your face. Close your eyes for a few seconds and open them and look at your face in the drape. If you see/notice your face FIRST, the color is good. If you see the COLOR FIRST, then it's going to steal your thunder! So much easier and cheaper than all the color consults! And you can do it in real time, while shopping. I see you follow the Accidental Icon, but who else do you follow? Fashionistas "of a certain age"? Cheers!
Dear Leonie: Thanks for your advice. As usual you nailed it. Wearing classy styles mixed with some trendy ones works well, at least for me. And I agree with you that black can be unflattering to older women. I see a lot wearing too much black and instead of looking fashionable they look older and as if ready to attend a funeral.
I didn't understand everything you were saying. The video would've been more helpful if you filmed short clips of before and after of you wearing said styles with your voiceover.
I am 37 years old but I look better in the more classy styles designed for mid twenties to late twenties. Probably because I look a lot younger then I am because of great skin and short height. I couldn't believe it when some guy said women over thirty are over the hill and should cover up from the knees to the collarbone. He was shocked when he found out my age. He thought I was 25 ha ha. Explains why a younger guy was hitting on me. When it comes down to it age is only a number. Look at a lot of Asian women. They tend age slower then most people because of a combination of genes and good lifestyles.
Asian women wear sunscreen religiously and don't tan. That is the difference. Look at black women - no wrinkles. The sun/tanning is your #1 ager by far.
I so agree with your tips! I am now 53 and feel I look better and more confident than I did in my younger days. Maybe this is because I implement most of the things you suggested in this video. btw- I subscribed to your channel because of this video - it is that great!
Hi great video and totally agree with all your tips. I know the colour trends can be really off for some. Knowing your best colours to wear is always a plus. It just boils down to caring how we look and not giving up on style as we age. Thanks for sharing! xo
I am a red headed New Yorker, a month short of 65. As I was walking through Times Square today, a rapper approached me and asked me where I was from. That's part of his sales pitch. I told him I was a local. He said "I knew you were a New Yorker. I like your look. You gangsta!". The gangsta part cracked me up. I had to go look it up to make sure it was a compliment. It was. (Terracotta moto jacket. Skinny-ish jeans. Tan backpack. Grey newsboy cap. Beige ankle boots. Gangsta. ;-) )
I forgot to mention lol your smile is what makes watching you talk worth while if u new each time u smiling made a person feel like they have value would that not empower u more to Carry on being u love to all
I love love loved this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I grew up people watching at Bondi Beach and never followed the fashion trend as such. I learned to walk the beat of my own drum but your video resonated a lot of memories for me with great tips. And you’re 52 😱 you’re looking awesome. Must be the great kiwi gene in you 😃 Thanks for sharing these tips and Thank you June’s Journey for keeping me sane whilst waiting in shopping queues 😁
I've seen some very trendy 60 year olds at work and they look absolutely amazing. They look trendy but not silly, probably because they don't try to hide their age and they act age appropriately. While they wear trendy clothing "meant for younger ppl". And I really admire them for that.
I'm 25 and already I got a comment by a slightly younger coworker saying my clothes make me look older. I wear a lot of vintage. I dont know how to proceed.
Your make up is very nice done! The color choice is very good! I am petite and i wear maxi skirt, dress.. there is a way. V shape neck , long necklace ... ...and good fit! Go to a good dressmaker to make the necessary alternations.. that is always a good thing to do...
That game looks a lot like Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. She wears fabulous clothes in the series. I stopped wearing black a very long time ago because it definitely made me look tired and emphasized wrinkles. I wear navy as my wardrobe go-to and it is so flattering. Great advice about color trends---I never bought into the blush pink trend because the color didn't work on me. You really have to know your colors and style by the time you reach a certain age.
True 💕. The best way to stay current and up-to-date is to change wardrobe to suit current trends (but not too trendy). I’m same age as u and I love to mix-up my wardrobe. I actually look much younger than my years so I can get away with many styles 🤗.
Here's My thoughts on current fashion trends...Been there, done that. The so called Dad shoe, the Checkered Van's, the florescent colors, the shoulder pads & it makes me laugh that these young girls are "raving" about THEIR Mom jeans, because, this Mom, isn't wearing the Mom Jean's anymore!!! Sure, I want to look cute & classy, but I'm all about being Comfortable!😉
interesting video - I'm 67 and prefer to wear what feels most comfortable. Now that I've discovered capsule wardrobes, I've started wearing MORE black. I like the idea of a 'uniform' because I don't want to have to think about my outfits when I go out. I meticulously planned my weekly outfits for decades when I worked in IT Security. Now I just want to relax and enjoy retirement. I was a clothes horse when I worked full-time and am now purging my business clothes closets. I did find the tip on proportions helpful...
I think you give the best tips and advice. I’m approaching 50 and put on a couple of pounds I don’t want to look ridiculous but , it is hard to find structured pieces when your a size 14. Any advice?
Good tips but wish you would use larger/older models. Hard to tell what something looks like when I am looking at a 20 year old. Also tell us what to wear with a maxi.
Good advice, thank you! I would have appreciated more examples of how to avoid these mistakes. Some of them didn’t offer any suggestions on how to apply them. Perhaps you could do a follow up?
Hey, Don't say that you're 52! YOU ARE not one year more than 38! Such cool tips: love all of them;) What a funny phrase "tired accessories" LOL!!! totally agree with you on wearing BLACk! I always lecture my best friend who loooooves wearing black! is the "queen syndrome" bad thing if you consider yourself a Fashionista? I love matching colors (at least choosing similar color palletes for the top and bottom! I don't swear on trends ;) EXACTLy! FASHION IS ABOUT FUN! ENJOY YOUR OUTFITS IN ANY AGE!!!
I use natural skin care products. Like olive oil. I also worked in the beauty industry 25 years, so that could of help. Today a guy of 31 asks me out. But he's to young. That happens a lot.
Leoni, you are my favourite style guru. Thank you. I always enjoy your guidance. There seems to be a lot of scope to have more images of older women illustrating your suggestions. Would love to see/find some. Even on Pinterest it’s limited. I really enjoyed the first still of the older women although the rest were depicted on younger women. I’m almost 58 and still very young at heart and mind and in looks. I wear whatever feels good and is current. The same as a younger person in her 30s or 40s but in my own unique way. It carries through well. Thank you again. Keep them coming. And wishing you a very happy birthday! X
Thank you for the informative video. What do you think about the saying, "If you were old enough to wear it the first time, you're too old to wear it again" - when it comes to fashion ? Did CoCo Chanel say that? I'm 52 also, and like you I don't want to dress like my 28 year old daughter, but I also don't want to dress like my 81 year old mom either. It's hard , its like walking a tightrope in some regard.
Ahhhh thank you for the extra perk of confidence. I love the video and on most cases I pretty much already follow what you spoke on. Furthermore, II must say I must find some of those jewelry accessories shown in the video, love them. My issue when shopping is I look about 15yrs younger than my real age and I do have a hard time finding clothing so I spend most times mix/matching outfits without going overboard. However it's a job due to many women sections the clothes look like my mothers though my age supposed to suit that area, I don't get why it can't be easier finding clothing for women later in life without it breaking your purse. Again loved the video.
Black makes me look fabulous. Plus, I am 5.2 and both maxi and midi dresses make me look taller. Below or above knee make me look shorter and heavier 🤔🤔🤔
i am goth so my wardrobe is mainly black with a few pops of colour. I dont wear black for a slimming effect but its just so me :) and it is easier to coordinate hahaha
I don't care what other people think. It works.. I am myself, my style, my personality. Of course, I don't want to look old too, so I still wear shorts and make-up
Personally I think a person should wear what feels good on them. Also, for such good advice you are dressed so boring for this video. You could have really made your video pop, with some stylish bold earrings, a bold necklace, and a black well fitted top.
Some great tips! Agree with structured clothing. Unfortunately there aren't many cute things currently, other than blazers. So much thin drapey stuff. And a mid-calf length in skirts is perfect but hard to find. Don't get me started on trying to find elbow-length sleeves or 3/4 sleeve tops. About the colors; by our ages we should know our colors. If not we can use a book. I'm not sure about your examples, though; that woman with the all-over looks (white hair) should be a "no" example. OK to wear one item with basic pieces IMO.
Great tips! I'm almost 71 and have always been interested in fashion since I studied it at a fashion/art school in NYC and was a fashion illustrator there in the late 1960s/70s! You're right about accessories and nothing looks worst than old worn belts, purses and shoes so those should be replaced when need be. I hate sneakers with skirts and dresses though and think one should wear more appropriate shoes for those. While I was raising my three daughters in the 80s I wouldn't let them wear their sneakers with dresses/party dresses and made sure they had black patent leather Mary Janes with white tights. I was lucky I could pass down many of their clothing from daughter to daughter which saved a lot of money though they had some new fashions as well. Thanks for sharing tips...love your videos!
I agree with most of these tips, however maxi n midi are not bad. They don’t need to be overwhelming. Plus the knees are ugly after the 40s midis are a fantastic alternative

Yes and I agree too. After all we are allowed to grow old. The only other alternative is death.
Well said!
I'm mature and super tall, so I'm wearing maxi dresses always, I always get compliments. The midi length is always too short and makes me look frumpy.
I wear a lot less make up now that I'm in my late 50's. I wear foundation medium coverage and dewey, but only very neutral/natural shadow only to cover light veins on my lids, a sweep of blush....a tiny bit of highlight on cupids and here and there. I've always dressed a bit bohemian/hippy even as a teen. Yet, I mix it up and have a lot of classic timeless pieces as well as a few age appropriate on trend items which are not at all hippy or bohemian.

Fashion is aspirational. Take the details that work for you, your personality, and your body type and incorporate them into a style that’s uniquely yours. I’m only 4”11’ and I don’t expect to see women my size represented in fashion photos - that’s OK. I can still take ideas and fly with them.

I don't like leaving negative comments, but I feel the examples shown are now any styles I would want to copy, and some are a little ridiculous in my opinion. I like to stick to classy, well fitting flattering styles. I would never leave the house wearing super wide black pants with laces up the sides with ridiculous platform wedge shoes and oversize circle sunglasses. Just my humble opinion. If that's style, I'd rather be frumpy. I also enjoy wearing black, I feel it's elegant and always get compliments.
I agree! Wasn't sure if photos were examples of do's or don'ts, or maybe both! I hope the black wide legs with lace up sides were intended as a don't!!?? Who knows?? While verbal content made sense, pictures used in examples were confusing/contradicting! Wouldn't wear some of it at any age!!!
@@debjax9241 Yes, maybe this is "The Emperor's New Clothes" story. Everybody is afraid to admit that Lyn's clothing looks silly.
Especially the old lady in those crazy clothes! She looked ridiculous
@@kathyh4804 That's Lyn Slater. They call her a fashion icon in her silly clown clothing.

Since you are 52 and look 40, can you do a video on your eating habits and skincare advice?
ivanete roark aww thank you and I was thinking of making a what I eat in a day type of video but wasn’t sure if anyone would be interested so thank you for asking 👍🏻

She looks 52
Being fit and confident about your own style is the best fashion sense!
I wear less makeup as I get older, and I
Iike to wear grey and black as I get compliments when I do. I have short silver hair, and if you get a regular good haircut and wear a small amount of jewelry, you look great as you age.
I think too much eyebrow makeup ages you!
dyed hair ages you
I agree! I find myself wearing more black because it contrasts so dramatically with my grey hair. With a perfectly cut, chin length bob, it looks chic and suits my personality.
Madd Scientist I agree. I also think dyed hair especially black is a no no. Just my opinion
True but eyebrows are fashionable now
I had mine tattooed
@@angelabender8132 ah but what age are you.?
I don’t agree with some of the things she said I’m 58 I wear what I want too wear as long as it looks good!
Then why bother watching
Black clothing....guilty as charged! I have been working over the past year to make some changes and expand my color palette (especially since my good friend threatened to come over and burn all my black clothing!!!) So....I have found by appropriately combining my black pieces with patterns, prints, or color and accessorizing some of my outfits with fun and flattering items, my black items take on a whole new personality. I am happy....no more arson threats!
When you are wearing YOUR colour; that colour that does EVERYTHING for you, EVERYONE will notice and tell you how fabulous you look. So PAY ATTENTION! And, like Leonie said; You don't need to go and have your colours done.
I follow Lyn Slater the Accidental Icon, she is fabulous!! No fear in her choices. Stay fit, smile and keep the hair and makeup flattering and no problem being "in style".
I love black, good idea to break it up with jewelry.
Some of those pictures of models wearing the "in" styles were actually hideous.
I once heard "dress for the body you have now". Dress for your age, body type, body size, comfort and what makes you feel good about yourself.... that's different for everybody.
Very good video. I'm 57 finding a lot of joy in styling ideas and I am not limiting myself to what those around me feel is age appropriate. So as long as I feel comfortable and feel stylish in what adorn my body. I don't want to hear other opinion because a lot of us 50+ have worked hard to stay fit and if you decide you want to wear a bikini do it. Society is always setting rules for women thru our aging process and nothing set up for men. Like the content provided and the examples shown. Thanks for sharing and continued blessing in 2019.
I totally agree! Society LOVES to tell a woman she is too old, too fat, too thin, too fill-in-the-blank. Yes, my style has matured but if I love it and I look good in it I will wear it. This was true at 19, 49 and I hope will be at 109. =). My surname is Oates too, btw. Not a ton of us in the world. Cheers!
I agree w everything. You have to aim for a nice balanced outfit that is comfy, stylish, timeless w some classy and trendy pieces mixed in. The result should be pleasing to the eye, make you confident and happy.
I like your tips and especially #9... I will be turning 40 in a few months and I still love to try new trends and mix them into my personal style. It's definitely all about balance I think and not over-doing it. You look amazing for 52 btw!
Pip's Closet I’ve subscribed to you :)
Thank you so much dear! :) Have a great weekend!!!
I’m 53 and I’m having so much fun with fashion again. It’s a perfect way for me to express myself. I definitely don’t want to wear anything that’s going to age me but that’s just my opinion, at the end of the day I wear what makes me feel good. How I dress really depends on my mood when I wake up and the weather. Taking care of myself and looking good makes me feel great even when I feel like crap at times. Great video, I loved it! Good advice about the fanny packs. Dressing can be challenging for me because of a bulge on my side that I developed after my liver resection. I came up with the idea of wearing lots of different fanny packs to hide it. It gets very challenging with anything that’s fitted and that shows my waistline. I’m passionate about fashion so much and I’m always having to come up with ideas to conceal my arm and bulges from surgeries. Fashion is a great way to express yourselves ladies, have fun with it. Sending positive vibes to all the woman around the world. Remember, we are all beautiful!!! 🙌🏽✌🏼☝️🙏🏿💕
Here's a tip, don't dye your hair too dark in your 50's, go lighter of it will age you. The dark hair shows up wrinkles
Completely agree!!
Or don’t dye at all. Grey hair can be so chic, if kept in a simple, modern cut. (Or even in a long, wavy, natural style, if that’s your personality) IMO, grey hair exudes confidence.
Yes! And streaks emphasise wrinkles a lot. Its like stripes and stripes. All I see is stripes.
And wrinkles look like stripes.
Having said that, my own hair has greyed into its own streaks!!! Shrugs... ; )
So true!
I like a just below the knee skirt. A bias cut skirt with zero pleats looks chic and helps to hide lumps and bumps.
I would add gathered skirts to this list
I am 55,, I agree totally only with one of your points -- and that is the long frumpy skirt, especially floral patterns... black is THE BEST COLOUR of all, it only needs a scarf
I think one of the "dated" looks of right now, are the trend to giant dark eyebrows. They are the only thing I see when watching this lady's video. Very Groucho Marx of yester year. I know everyone loves them - I am probably the only one that finds them funny.
Seaside Mom, no you are not the only one! I have naturally thick eyebrows and I do prefer to keep them thick as opposed to ridiculously thin. The difference is I don't "draw" my eyebrows on!! I do try to keep them neatly groomed, however! Drawn on eyebrows look funny whether thick or thin because they're not natural. Would only draw them on if my natural eyebrows were lost due to medical condition/treatment.
It was Brooke Shields that made big brows popular back in the day, wasn't it? No plucking or shaping. I have started to do some shaping recently to avoid the current trend. @@debjax9241
I find them masculine. And when I do mine . My Male friends hate it.
No, you aren't.
To me, her brows look nice and natural.
i think they all look really good in the pictures, i think it depends how you style and cary them
Happy Birthday! You look fantastic! I will be 65 this summer, and though I look older, I am pretty sure I've never looked better! Super helpful color tip I learned somewhere online: take a color you are considering, and with pulled back hair and minimal makeup, drape your face. Close your eyes for a few seconds and open them and look at your face in the drape. If you see/notice your face FIRST, the color is good. If you see the COLOR FIRST, then it's going to steal your thunder! So much easier and cheaper than all the color consults! And you can do it in real time, while shopping. I see you follow the Accidental Icon, but who else do you follow? Fashionistas "of a certain age"? Cheers!
Dear Leonie: Thanks for your advice. As usual you nailed it. Wearing classy styles mixed with some trendy ones works well, at least for me. And I agree with you that black can be unflattering to older women. I see a lot wearing too much black and instead of looking fashionable they look older and as if ready to attend a funeral.
jacqueline schael thank you 😊
I didn't understand everything you were saying. The video would've been more helpful if you filmed short clips of before and after of you wearing said styles with your voiceover.
I am 37 years old but I look better in the more classy styles designed for mid twenties to late twenties. Probably because I look a lot younger then I am because of great skin and short height. I couldn't believe it when some guy said women over thirty are over the hill and should cover up from the knees to the collarbone. He was shocked when he found out my age. He thought I was 25 ha ha. Explains why a younger guy was hitting on me. When it comes down to it age is only a number. Look at a lot of Asian women. They tend age slower then most people because of a combination of genes and good lifestyles.
Asian women have better/different skin, that's the big difference, their skin is thicker usually and often darker
Asian women wear sunscreen religiously and don't tan. That is the difference. Look at black women - no wrinkles. The sun/tanning is your #1 ager by far.
I so agree with your tips! I am now 53 and feel I look better and more confident than I did in my younger days. Maybe this is because I implement most of the things you suggested in this video. btw- I subscribed to your channel because of this video - it is that great!
Hi great video and totally agree with all your tips. I know the colour trends can be really off for some. Knowing your best colours to wear is always a plus. It just boils down to caring how we look and not giving up on style as we age. Thanks for sharing! xo
I am a red headed New Yorker, a month short of 65. As I was walking through Times Square today, a rapper approached me and asked me where I was from. That's part of his sales pitch. I told him I was a local. He said "I knew you were a New Yorker. I like your look. You gangsta!". The gangsta part cracked me up. I had to go look it up to make sure it was a compliment. It was. (Terracotta moto jacket. Skinny-ish jeans. Tan backpack. Grey newsboy cap. Beige ankle boots. Gangsta. ;-) )
I forgot to mention lol your smile is what makes watching you talk worth while if u new each time u smiling made a person feel like they have value would that not empower u more to Carry on being u love to all
I love love loved this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I grew up people watching at Bondi Beach and never followed the fashion trend as such. I learned to walk the beat of my own drum but your video resonated a lot of memories for me with great tips.
And you’re 52 😱 you’re looking awesome. Must be the great kiwi gene in you 😃
Thanks for sharing these tips and Thank you June’s Journey for keeping me sane whilst waiting in shopping queues 😁
Leah Williams thank you and interestingly I’m an Aussie but live in NZ so can’t claim any Kiwi genetics 🧬🙊👍🏻
Some folks in the comments are taking things way too personal. If your style works for you, then great.
Yes I agree Fefe :)
Tank you God for making me extremely tall❤️ Those maxi dresses❤️❤️❤️
The game is clearly heavily inspired by the Aussie tv show miss fishers murder mysteries. If you haven't seen it, watch it. So amazing
Brittany Norma recently discovered it, she’s like a gorgeous Miss Marple, I love it :)
Happy Birthday! My next one will be the big 5 0. Great vid; I'd be interested in one about mixing vintage pieces into outfits in a modern way.
Helen Mudge thank you 😊
When I turned 30 I cut my hair short and donated all my mini skirts. That was dumb.
What is the difference between being in a “style rut” and always dressing in your “signature style”?
52?! You look great!!!
Awww that's so kind thank you :)
I've seen some very trendy 60 year olds at work and they look absolutely amazing. They look trendy but not silly, probably because they don't try to hide their age and they act age appropriately. While they wear trendy clothing "meant for younger ppl". And I really admire them for that.
I'm 25 and already I got a comment by a slightly younger coworker saying my clothes make me look older. I wear a lot of vintage. I dont know how to proceed.
I would say proceed with continuing to wear what makes you feel happy and don't worry what anyone else says :)
Thank you for sharing June's Journey!!, I subscribed.
Your make up is very nice done! The color choice is very good! I am petite and i wear maxi skirt, dress.. there is a way. V shape neck , long necklace ... ...and good fit! Go to a good dressmaker to make the necessary alternations.. that is always a good thing to do...
That game looks a lot like Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. She wears fabulous clothes in the series. I stopped wearing black a very long time ago because it definitely made me look tired and emphasized wrinkles. I wear navy as my wardrobe go-to and it is so flattering. Great advice about color trends---I never bought into the blush pink trend because the color didn't work on me. You really have to know your colors and style by the time you reach a certain age.
Sharon Woryn yes it definitely helps to have a handle on which colours suit you 👍🏻
I'm a dk. brown or charcoal grey person........& yes you really have to know your colors
True 💕. The best way to stay current and up-to-date is to change wardrobe to suit current trends (but not too trendy). I’m same age as u and I love to mix-up my wardrobe. I actually look much younger than my years so I can get away with many styles 🤗.
Here's My thoughts on current fashion trends...Been there, done that. The so called Dad shoe, the Checkered Van's, the florescent colors, the shoulder pads & it makes me laugh that these young girls are "raving" about THEIR Mom jeans, because, this Mom, isn't wearing the Mom Jean's anymore!!! Sure, I want to look cute & classy, but I'm all about being Comfortable!😉
interesting video - I'm 67 and prefer to wear what feels most comfortable. Now that I've discovered capsule wardrobes, I've started wearing MORE black. I like the idea of a 'uniform' because I don't want to have to think about my outfits when I go out. I meticulously planned my weekly outfits for decades when I worked in IT Security. Now I just want to relax and enjoy retirement. I was a clothes horse when I worked full-time and am now purging my business clothes closets. I did find the tip on proportions helpful...
Glad you enjoyed my video - thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :)
I think you give the best tips and advice. I’m approaching 50 and put on a couple of pounds I don’t want to look ridiculous but , it is hard to find structured pieces when your a size 14. Any advice?
I am in my fiftys too..a couple more years than you!
You look so young!
Great video. Thanks. Would love to see some actual examples from your wardrobe. Going back to binge some of your other videos now that I’ve found you!
Anna Power okay that’s a great idea thx 👍🏻
Good tips but wish you would use larger/older models. Hard to tell what something looks like when I am looking at a 20 year old. Also tell us what to wear with a maxi.
Thanks Barbara. Unfortunately, those images are not easy to find and I generally try and get as much variety as I possibly can.
I love your earrings! Will you tell where you got them? Thank you!
Good advice, thank you! I would have appreciated more examples of how to avoid these mistakes. Some of them didn’t offer any suggestions on how to apply them. Perhaps you could do a follow up?
I am playing June's journey right now! it's awesome game, beautifully made and so exciting
Yay! So pleased you enjoy it as much as I do :)
I like it, I bought it so I will wear it till it breaks no matter how long I have it. U style u and I style me🤪
Fun and self expression!
Hey, Don't say that you're 52! YOU ARE not one year more than 38! Such cool tips: love all of them;) What a funny phrase "tired accessories" LOL!!! totally agree with you on wearing BLACk! I always lecture my best friend who loooooves wearing black! is the "queen syndrome" bad thing if you consider yourself a Fashionista? I love matching colors (at least choosing similar color palletes for the top and bottom! I don't swear on trends ;) EXACTLy! FASHION IS ABOUT FUN! ENJOY YOUR OUTFITS IN ANY AGE!!!
Victoria H lol I wish I was still 38 😘
I don't agree
with the all black color comment.
I noticed she was wearing black. LOL
Me neither!!! Black is the new black.
depends on the person........personally I like all charcoal grey
@@maddscientist3170 oohh I like that.
Madd Scientist That is what I am gravitating to, as well! Charcoal is becoming my new black... as I can find flattering pieces!
This was very entertaining and informative.
I'm feeling the need for change.
I love to look chic and what is in I am 55 years ago and I love being me and have a great finger and will do what I feel like 😎
I use natural skin care products. Like olive oil. I also worked in the beauty industry 25 years, so that could of help.
Today a guy of 31 asks me out. But he's to young. That happens a lot.
Wish I had your "problem" lol. Got for it girl
Leoni, you are my favourite style guru. Thank you. I always enjoy your guidance. There seems to be a lot of scope to have more images of older women illustrating your suggestions. Would love to see/find some. Even on Pinterest it’s limited. I really enjoyed the first still of the older women although the rest were depicted on younger women. I’m almost 58 and still very young at heart and mind and in looks. I wear whatever feels good and is current. The same as a younger person in her 30s or 40s but in my own unique way. It carries through well. Thank you again. Keep them coming. And wishing you a very happy birthday! X
Thank you for the informative video. What do you think about the saying, "If you were old enough to wear it the first time, you're too old to wear it again" - when it comes to fashion ? Did CoCo Chanel say that? I'm 52 also, and like you I don't want to dress like my 28 year old daughter, but I also don't want to dress like my 81 year old mom either. It's hard , its like walking a tightrope in some regard.
Ahhhh thank you for the extra perk of confidence. I love the video and on most cases I pretty much already follow what you spoke on. Furthermore, II must say I must find some of those jewelry accessories shown in the video, love them. My issue when shopping is I look about 15yrs younger than my real age and I do have a hard time finding clothing so I spend most times mix/matching outfits without going overboard. However it's a job due to many women sections the clothes look like my mothers though my age supposed to suit that area, I don't get why it can't be easier finding clothing for women later in life without it breaking your purse. Again loved the video.
Thanks for your lovely comment Terri :)
I really enjoyed this video & your advice. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers 😉 🌷
Yay :)
“I just turned 52 and I don’t want to look 30”. 🙋🏼♀️ I do!
👌same
Trying June’s Journey!
Black makes me look fabulous. Plus, I am 5.2 and both maxi and midi dresses make me look taller. Below or above knee make me look shorter and heavier 🤔🤔🤔
Dina Smairat I feel the same, especially when I pair a maxi dress with wedges, thinking have I got it all wrong? 🤔
Happy birthday!!! i loved hearing you say 's'pose what i'm trying to say is...' haven't heard that kiwi/aussie expression for a while!
Nicole Sonobe 🙊😘
Happy belated birthday and thank you for your work. Well done!
Beth Hollins thanks so much 😘
67 yrs young, tall,slim fit body. Long, shapely legs. Can I still wear short skirts with black tights and heels.
I'd say ABSOLUTELY YES!!!!!!
Style Insider. Thank you. I like to wear short but Not mini skirts. I Love patterned hosiery with short skirts!
i am goth so my wardrobe is mainly black with a few pops of colour. I dont wear black for a slimming effect but its just so me :) and it is easier to coordinate hahaha
I don't care what other people think. It works.. I am myself, my style, my personality. Of course, I don't want to look old too, so I still wear shorts and make-up
Thank you so much! Loved all the great tips very classic
INTERESTING ideas; women "of a certain age" often don't care IF things are in style or not,which is RIGHT ON!!
black shirts n blue jeans is who I am n I'm not changing now. I don't have much color bcuz I don't feel comfortable in them.
Great video, thank you! Recipes coming soon?
Personally I think a person should wear what feels good on them. Also, for such good advice you are dressed so boring for this video. You could have really made your video pop, with some stylish bold earrings, a bold necklace, and a black well fitted top.
Some great tips! Agree with structured clothing. Unfortunately there aren't many cute things currently, other than blazers. So much thin drapey stuff. And a mid-calf length in skirts is perfect but hard to find. Don't get me started on trying to find elbow-length sleeves or 3/4 sleeve tops. About the colors; by our ages we should know our colors. If not we can use a book. I'm not sure about your examples, though; that woman with the all-over looks (white hair) should be a "no" example. OK to wear one item with basic pieces IMO.
A little late: Happy Birthday. Good Luck.🍀
Thank you! 😃
52?? Oh my goodness, you look amazing!
Aww that's very kind - thank you :)
i ❤ vintage.
I would like an example of what To wear and what NOT to wear. Hope this is helpful
Okey
Wear skirts below the knee
Do not wear minis or very long skirts this spring summer
🤣
Great tips! I'm almost 71 and have always been interested in fashion since I studied it at a fashion/art school in NYC and was a fashion illustrator there in the late 1960s/70s! You're right about accessories and nothing looks worst than old worn belts, purses and shoes so those should be replaced when need be. I hate sneakers with skirts and dresses though and think one should wear more appropriate shoes for those. While I was raising my three daughters in the 80s I wouldn't let them wear their sneakers with dresses/party dresses and made sure they had black patent leather Mary Janes with white tights. I was lucky I could pass down many of their clothing from daughter to daughter which saved a lot of money though they had some new fashions as well. Thanks for sharing tips...love your videos!
I agree with most of these tips, however maxi n midi are not bad. They don’t need to be overwhelming. Plus the knees are ugly after the 40s midis are a fantastic alternative
Good tips need more examples to emulate
Leslie Craven okay great point thx 👍🏻
I agree. Just some examples of the right and wrong way for the styling tips would be useful.
