My new philosophy this fall has been to "semi-retire" certain categories that are still in great shape, fit well, and flatter, but that I'm bored of - like my many skinny jeans. So I'm just putting them to the back of the closet until I miss them, and I'll put them back into rotation. too many times I've tossed items I got bored with and then later wished I hadn't. Sometimes they are hard to find later. Fashion is cyclical. We like new creations, and sometimes new ways of styling older things. In high school in the 70's we were all into 1940's looks - flowers in our hair, red lipstick, platform shoes, hair buns, but also short jackets such as we are seeing now in trendy fashion. So I'm enjoying the nostalgia x nostalgia

I'm loving the idea of semi retiring certain clothes - I'm going to do the same! x

Red and pink have always been in my color palette all year round. I love big sleeves, & highrise wide leg pants. I wear what I love. For me, personal style is better than keeping up with trends. However, when my favorites are trending I use it as an opportunity to refresh my wardrobe.

I am 49 yrs old and never used to be a shorts person, but now that I live in a very hot climate, shorts make sense! I bought a pair of eggshell Bermuda shorts a couple of years ago and they’ve been worn on repeat. They’re knee length and can be dressed up with a platform heel or loafer and a cropped jacket for the office. I also picked up a beige pleated shorts and longline blazer set (blazer ends about the same spot as hem of shorts) last year that has had lots of wear - so good for casual meetups and events when you want to look polished, but not overdone. Cuffed dark denim shorts with a 5” inseam are my go to casual shorts on weekends.

Sounds perfect!

A trend of five years ago or so that is a classic for me is the pleated skirt, long or short. I love these too much to give them up, trending or not. The same for my silk slip skirts, they are some of my basics. I stick to mostly classic styles, but I like to know what the trends are so I can pick my favorites, most trends are just refreshed classics anyway. Pretty much any possible idea has been used many times before.

Hmmm that's interesting. What shoes are you wearing with your ankle length pants? Sometimes if your shoes are too chunky they can make your legs appear shorter!

Hold on I'm coming by Sam & Dave is the music theme of this content. You know I am a complete fashion hoarder because not getting rid of anything of the fashion style that I have accumulated through the ages. At age 61, I seen them come and go. I still wear them because I like them. The pencil pants date waaay back with celebrities making them their fashion statement from Audrey Hepburn, Mary Tyler Moore, Lucille Ball just to name a few. So I love adding to my collection during thrifting with textured or printed pairs. Thanks for sharing and ta ta for now!

I have always worn Bermuda shorts. You can always style them any way, even in an elevated way. Love them!

I like belted jackets, but what do you do with the belt when you take the jacket off because you are too warm?

I think, nobody should be such a fashion-slave and declutter things which you like and which fit you, just because anybody tells you, that they are not in anymore. Buy only things you really love and then you will wear them as many years as you like.

yeah for the capri pants!!! Saw some metallic ones at Ralph Laurent last year, and was just waiting for then to get more available… so classy instead if worn right, and not as MuMu mid-calf… 😊 and pastels for spring is just as ground-braking as flowers for spring - always a classic spring symbol, if it goes with you skin color - great video. Very practical !

Hanging on every word, then at 9:18 - the whole "Red" section is gone. Was that a glitch? Picks up again in the Pastels. Sigh

Love Bermudas at 72 I find the tailored variety very flattering but very difficult to find .They all seem to come with an elastic back that quite frankly makes your bum look big.If only we could get some that look like the ones seen in the old movies made with a proper waistband and pleated front .Thanks for sharing your views on next years fashion

Wonderful!

I have a small waist and still wear belts from childhood and college and early career days! Belts are forever handy.

Fantastic video! Recently, I had to clear a few items due to bad fit, serious wear due to use (to the point it no longer was presentable) and random damage sustained. Some direct replacements and wardrobe gap filling is required. The high waisted trousers I’d been eyeing for the longest be out of stock! Pyjama trends anyone?

Hey! It would be interesting if you make video about how you stay in shape in terms of nutrition and exercise/activity, like What I eat in A Day or similar :)

I absolutely wear the shorts- mid thigh and lower🏃‍♀️

I remember early /mid 70's we wore dresses over jeans! I was maybe 10/11 end enjoyed that trend x

Bermudas are the best length for me. And I'll only wear pedal pushers when I'm working out 😂

I only wear Bermuda shorts all summer. I wear them if they’re in or not. My legs are too dimply for short shorts. I have some that are actually longer than I normally wear. So maybe I’ll be in style soon. But not until it gets warmer then they’ll probably be out again. I have lots of belts. But I don’t usually wear them anymore. My middle is my worst part. But they are still in my closet.

I think the dresses over pants was last in style when I was in fourth grade. I don’t think I’ll be doing it!

Love all , bleu color yes, dresses over pants, cut outs, belts, ….and high rise🙌🙌🙌finally feminine and elegant, except bermuda shorts and cropped pants 🤪Have a blessed day🙏❤️

Did something go wrong at 9:20 when you were talking about the colour red?

I avoided wearing shorts for a long time, but I finally found a style I like. The cut needs to be very boxy and the length is not too long or short, maybe mid-thigh or a bit shorter. If the shorts are tight around my thigh it looks terrible, but they are boxy it makes my thighs look small in comparison.

I love love love this. It’s very helpful!!! I have a fashion KZread as well and definitely would love to remake this. ❤❤

Me too!

I really like the outfit you are wearing in this video! I've started wearing a similar monochromatic top/silky-knit jogger pant. It's almost a uniform for me now. It gives me the look of a jumpsuit without the inconvience of having to completely undress to use the bathroom. I don't wear shorts for a combination of reasons. I don't find them comfortable in truly hot weather & I don't like showing my bare legs. I prefer a linen or gauze wide leg pant in the summer or a flowy maxi summer dress. I never understood the negativity towards capris. I've always liked gauchos & knickers. Just below the knee is a classic length for a skirt or dress, so why not pants? Especially since most women feel confident with their legs from the knee down...just keep the silhouettes you like, they always come back.

Those MiuMiu photos are so cool. I'd have to use the pics as inspo and try to thrift something similar but the styling and gender-neutral vibe is on point! I like how the fabric seems to be a sort as brocade, as opposed to just shiny lamé, which looks costumey and cheap imo.

I think capris are one of those items that never really go out of style. I've seen them year after year. I absolutely LOVE the look of a dress over pants. I have since the 90's when dresses and scarves around the waist over jeans were big. Metallics come in and out quite often, too. I HATE HIGH RISE, and the crazy part is that most of the women I know don't care for high rise, either. I don't get it.

I’m a no way josè on the pants under dresses. I’ve actually been in ears distance of a group of guys talk about how dumb or try hard, it looks to them. Shorts of all lengths are a big YES for me. 😄 Also. I never throw my clothes out unless they’re too small and even then I will put them aside in case I lose the weight. I fluctuate in sizes way to easily for me to just Willy nilly junking things. Even belts.

Capri pants are so unflattering unless u are tall and have slim legs as they cut the length of your legs in half. At 5ft 2 they are defiantly not for me.

I really like the 7/8 pant which just shows the ankle but I don't like capris. Capris that are below the knee or inches above the ankle are not flattering on most women. Bermuda shorts don't suit my body at all. Being pear shaped, I feel like bermuda shorts make me look hippy. My legs are toned from walking daily for years and I feel very comfortable wearing shorts in my 50's. However, I don't like how I look in bermudas. The most flattering length for me is mid thigh which would be a 6 or 7 inch inseam. I'll just say no to bermudas and continue wearing my mid length shorts. Yay, I am excited about baby blue as I get the most compliments whenever I wear blue.

bermuda shorts never, nor capri pants...

Dresses over jeans/pants is a very cutesy look, so suits young girls. It just doesn’t suit adult women in my opinion, especially women over 40! Trying too hard to look younger, makes you actually look older, unfortunately. That trend needs to stay where It came from, elementary school, as there are so much better and stylish, trendy looks out there to suit us older, but fashionably wiser gals!!

I can't stomach bermuda shorts. I don't think I've ever seen someone look good in them(the runway is sth else)😒

Wear what you want. You only live once.

Had to have a laugh … for us older women and if like me you have scars from knee surgery and crepey legs pedal pushers or whatever you call them have never gone out of style in summer… not a good look for women over 65 in short shorts so below knee shorts or short pants, baggy or slim always in fashion!
