At 61, I adhere to 9 out of the 10 you listed! The one "rule" I break is wearing the occasional hoodie (sans logo). I have 2 hoodies that are truly staples in my casual wear wardrobe: one in a beautiful pumpkin color and one in navy. They are layering alternatives to a cardigan or pullover sweater. I would not wear them to the office, but on a day off, absolutely!

I agree! Love my two hoodies also! One is an oatmeal -coloured cashmere, and the other a rose brown sweatshirt, with a split hem. I love the cashmere hoodie under a coat in the winter..a very stylish and modern look that works for all ages,I think! It's important that we adapt "rules and recommendations" such as these, to our own lifestyles and personal preferences. Feeling comfortable and at ease in our clothing is the predictor of fashion success, in my opinion.

Thank you for this video- acknowledging our age and remaining stylish is a positive perspective. I have often resented anything that tries to insist that I must look younger than my actual age. This video was a terrific reminder to remain true to myself- at my current age of 73- thank you, again, Marie-Anne

I agree with the majority of things you said but I also believe that our personality plays a part in how we dress at any age as well. I can’t necessarily wear some things my best friend wears. It looks good on her but I can’t or don’t wear it because it’s just not me. I follow several fashion influencers and you all are very good in your style choices but yet you’re also all different. So at the end of the day I dress in what makes me feel good and confident! Thanks for the tips! 🤗

You are 100% on point with the "wrinkled knees" 🤣 One thing to be added: exaggerated makeup and hairstyling...too much makeup, too bright colors, cakey skin appearance...also unnaturally looking hairstyles, brightly colored and/or excessively styled... everything has to be softer, more naturally looking at any age and especially on us mature ladies.

Agreed, except that some women might look fantastic in bright colors, regardless of their age. It's about personality and knowing one's colors.

Bravo! All those “Housewives” shows are the reasons so many women are trying to hold onto 21 for decades. Tight, garish, and too short clothing, albeit designer threads, make these women look clownish. Another glaring mistake is the long, twisted, bottle-blonde hair (extensions?) that is constantly being manipulated onto the front of the shoulders. One cannot go back in time. Why not enjoy the stylish experience of looking forward! Be beautiful inside and outside!

Hair colour. I am 74 & went au naturale a few years ago after no longer finding dyes that worked well. Now am silver on top with the slowly greying ring on the lower half. Have every blue & purple shampoo, conditioner, mask & rinse know to mankind. Get a lot of compliments, a lot of help in the parking lots & always a seat on the bus. Life is good.

The funny thing is, I'm 44 and I almost never wore these things even when I was young. I've always preferred a more classical style. Sometimes though I might go a bit crazy with my clothing, but then it's more something bohemian like a funny vintage sweater or a tull skirt, hippie dress etc., but none of the things you mentioned. I never really dressed in "teenage style".

Navy is key. Especially for us cool toned folks.

Bonsoir Marie-Anne! As a French counterpart I could not agree more. Leaving in London, I tend to shop at Marks & Spencer. Blazers and shirts + V-neck jumpers are part of my wardrobe. Loafers & ankle boots too. I have not seen any mature ladies wearing ripped jeans, any frumpy clothing even or short skirts. They tend to keep quite low & classic.

I walk 30 miles a week, which often includes errands at shops in walking distance. I wear my not-skin-tight yoga pants because they are soft, comfortable, and slimming and a ball cap to keep the sun out of my eyes and add a pop of color for visibility. When it is cold, I definitely pop on a hoody to keep my neck warm with the hood up over the ball cap to keep my vision to the side clears. That is 10 to 15 hours a week out in town where comfort rules. And with each walk, the yoga pants look better and better. Add to this my step tracker watch to keep count and keep me motivated (over 3 million steps in 15 months) and I get healthier and slimmer so I will live longer to enjoy more fashionable moments.

Totally agree ! We need to recognize that we all have different lifestyles , regional & climate / seasonal differences, etc. which require widely varying clothing choices . Somehow , getting in & out of a four-wheel Jeep in " dress " clothes while wrestling landscape material or accompanied by a 100 lb. dog is just not feasible for some of us . 😂 There's definitely a time 'n place for jeans & sweatshirts , yoga pants & hoodies , just as there is a need to have some appropriate clothes ready for special occasions such as dinners out, church -related events , etc. We need to learn to dress for the actual lives we live , not the lives we pretend to live . 💟

I agree with all these tips. Especially, I see many older women here in the US dressing super-sexy everyday with skin-tight clothes, 5-inch heels and done-to-the-max hair and makeup. It makes them look older and a bit sad. I would add as a No-No the current super-girlish trend of flouncy, floral prairie dresses, I wore those as a girl in the 70s. At age 62, I need more sophisticated clothes.

I'm so glad I found you! Love the videos, I intend to watch all of them. I can't believe how sloppy people have become in the USA. Some look like they have rolled out of bed. I have seen people in stores with pajamas and bedroom slippers. Casual has gone too far. It is very rare that I see a man in a suit. My Mother was a very good dresser. She was from another era. Lived to be 100 and would not go out without her high heels until she was 90. I love your style, love learning about French fashion. Merci Beaucoup!

Okay after watching this I ran to "shop my closet" and took off a concert t-shirt(sorry!)and put on a pretty white eyelet top that I French tucked into my dark wash jeans. The greatest thing is not only do I look much nicer, I'm still very comfortable too! Thanks Marie-Anne.

Marianne, here in the upper Midwest I agree with you on everything but hoodies. BUT as a woman over 60, I only wear my hoodie in one of my best warm color to outdoor events (high school football, gardening, hiking) when weather appropriate with classic jeans and warm footwear. Unless it is deer hunting season when I wear a oversized blaze orange hoodie over everything (even my fall jacket) so no hunter will mistake me for a deer. It is never chic to be subtle when hiking during hunting season.

Another awesome video Marie Anne. I agree with most, specially the ripped jeans. I own a few hoodies and wear them as needed. Mostly for camping, being out on the boat, walking the dogs in the rural areas, under my windbreaker when riding my bike on colder days, gardening or sitting in an open field, watching my grandson play football. It's often cold and windy here in North West Canada. You need hoodies. They are not a fashion statement, or for looking younger.

You always provide such good advice. Two garments I absolutely hate are leggings and skinny jeans. The jeans seem to always bunch up and look wrinkled around the knees and most women, even the younger ones, simply don't look attractive in leggings. I have a pair but only wear them in the winter under a pair of slightly over-sized jeans when I'm working outside on the farm or with my horses. They do provide extra warmth. I never wear them when I'm going out in public as I just think they're ugly!

All spot on Marie-Anne. We need a look that elevates, not one that sends you crashing down, as a decrepit version of a younger form.

I hate all ripped jeans!

Marie-Anne, I love your advice. It is comforting to hear your advice after watching countless fashion-over-50 videos that show outfits I cannot see myself wearing. I am happy to continue to build my wardrobe and stick with the basics and classics.

Another wonderful and spot on video. Ripped jeans baffle me, even on younger people. They are horrid at any age. As a former ballet dancer (still taking classes), I do wear shorter skirts, just above the knee, in the winter with dark tights and color matched shoes. Although I’m nearly seventy, I feel great in this attire but In summer my dresses and skirts cover my knees. Thank you for putting this list together.

You are out here telling these hard truths!! Thank you for being blunt, but with a delicious sense of humor. We don't need to see the wrinkly knees. 😁 Like my granny used to say: 'if it doesn't look good, you don't set it out on your front porch.'

I agree with you on most of the items, and I'd like to add that camo, most floral, and (the beloved) animal prints can be skipped. I never understood the attraction to animal prints, as they've always looked "old lady trying too hard" since they became popular 30 years ago. A woman can look so much more elegant without them. If you ask any woman or man regardless of age, they will tell you that they know how old an older woman is despite her attempts to look "young." That includes hair color and makeup, but of course everything is a personal choice. Just don't think we're fooling anyone, because we're not. Let's just opt for age-appropriate chic and elegant!

The suggestion of wearing black tights with short skits is a good suggestion. I could also have worn a shorter length flared skirt with black tights which would have flattered my legs. I do prefer midi or longer length skirts.

Excellent advice. I do avoid these mistakes.

Since my fifties, I realized I want and need more sophisticated clothes, not teenage looks. I’ve been editing my closet for a year (weight loss) and just realized that there are whole categories of much-vaunted “essentials” that I don’t actually wear. Traditional short-sleeved t-shirts, for example, I really only wear my white ones with different necklines. So why do I have a whole wardrobe of T-shirts in every color, prints and graphic ones? I also have near-replicates in silk, cotton and linen, it’s not necessary. They’re just not that important for my wardrobe, but they are all too easy to purchase, being cheap, abundant and easy to size. I’m going through this category today, hoping to cut the number in half. I’ll keep only the high-quality and most versatile ones that I actually wear, I doubt if I’ll miss the others.

I have never had fashion sense and gave up a decade ago. Now I'm trying to learn to do better. First I stopped thing athletic shoes with everything was s good look. Just a few weeks ago I HAD to buy some new things. I bought ripped jeans (casual Gen X wear), skinny jeans and black/camouflage leggings. I'm 57. I guess I better keep watching, but in my defense, classic business attire is not needed much in my life.

I wear a hoodie when I take night walks around the neighborhood with/without my hubby, only beside I can keep my hair in place and less frizzy. Very practical! (teenagers it's part of their uniform). Thank you for this video!

I have tried mildly ripped jeans and camo and don't really like. I love wearing above the skirts with tights for the winter. I think my knees are fine though. I have some hoodies but they are not for going out in.

I’ve never worn camo except the one time I went hunting with my husband. I do love a hoodie if I’m out walking on a cool day but I’ve realized I haven’t bought any in years.
