After 50, I simply began shopping in different stores! I looked at women going into the stores, and noticed a pattern. Some shops were frequented with older ladies. Their clothes were frumpy. Other stores attracted younger women, and those shops had the newer looks. Now, I was not trying to pass myself off as a younger woman. That never works. But, I figured, if I can still fit into the clothes where young women shop, why not try on some outfits? I did set certain guidelines for myself: not showing too much skin, keep to classic looks, and no tight fitting outfits. I was amazed to find many outfits that look great on me. It was so liberating! Now I regularly shop wherever I see cute clothes. Age is just a number!

My tip to look younger... during COVID, I decided to embrace my grey. I didn't want to go through 1+ years of grow-out time, so as soon as the salon opened, I told my stylist to give me a pixie cut. She was SO excited to have someone in her chair willing to take that risk. Since then, I have kept the pixie, but with a bit longer side bang in the front. It looks edgey and chic at the same time. I love my grey hair, and I can't say how many times a week I get compliments on my hair! It's the best decision I ever made, and it saves me tons of money!!

Your hair looks great Barbara! I too went grey during the pandemic. I feel much younger without the coloured hair and the stress over roots showing (not to mention all the time and expense of keeping the colour maintained). I'm now also able to wear some clothing colours I couldn't before. It is essential to have a hairstyle that you think is chic and flatters your facial features.

I love that you mention adding a masculine touch. A friend of mine recently introduced me to the wonders of men's trousers (oh behave!!). They can look fantastic on women. They tend to be higher waisted than women's tailored trousers, they are generally much better made with inner seams bound and part lining and they have deep pockets that you can put your hands in without messing up the overall line of your outfit. I go for a waist size one higher than I'd get normally to ensure a good fit on the hips and then add a belt. The cut of them usually gives a much nicer derriere than most women's trousers.

My trick is to fill in my eyebrows. I never knew that as we age, our eyebrows get naturally sparser in the front, closest to our nose, and turn lighter in color! I like to gently fill mine in to bring back all those thin translucent hairs. According to my daughters (whom I had in my 30s), it really made a difference in my appearance when I started doing that!

It’s worth mentioning here that ladies who have hypothyroidism will always have sparse eyebrows whether they’ve plucked them or not. Typically they loose the outer 1/3 of the brow, or the “wing”.

Today, I wore a red linen blazer with ivory trousers and a matching red and ivory dotted bateau neck top. Before your videos, I wouldn’t have felt confident wearing such bright colors. Thanks Marianne.

The best way to look young is to take care of your body lovingly is by eating well and exercising. Then you can look great and wear almost anything.

Hi Edie, Yes, I speed-walk and sprint an hour each and every night; I have been doing this for decades. At 64, I am toned, flexible, slender, and energetic. In fact, I drove 13 hours straight from Arizona to Utah a few days ago and then made the trip to Arizona doing the 13 hours two days later: no aches, no pains anywhere. Not even back pain! And since I am a vegetarian, I eat a very healthy diet. Love having loads of high energy every day!!

I depend on a really good haircut that is wash and leave. Overstyled hair is aging.

Although I have had long, wavy hair for most of my life ( it was the one thing that I never had to worry about) I noticed that at 58 it wasn't a good look for me anymore...it was looking wonky because of waves and damage. I now have it in long bob and I love it. I'm now 60 and my hair has never been healthier!

Do agree, as feel wearing one's hair that compliments them is important and even more beneficial if its a current style.

When I passed 55, I discovered that a bright pink lip color looks more youthful on me than reds or peaches. This will be different for ladies with different skin undertones, but I think that a bright, happy lip color that suits you will lend a youthful appearance.

One idea that received a lot of compliments--I wore one of my husband's plaid shirts--short sleeved, rolled up a bit, open over a simple dark sleeveless blouse and tied the edges in front. Comfortable, fits, and fun.

Great tips. As I have aged (67) and embraced my silver/gray hair, I lean toward bright & jewel tone colors. They brighten my face and make me feel good. I've gone from a nude lip color to a raspberry pink color, it keeps me from looking washed out or too beige. And I still wear my jeans but not mom jeans or ripped jeans, lol. And I love my white leather tennis shoes and scrappy sandals.

Stand up straight! Chin up, shoulders down, and walk with a spring in your step.

Merci Marie-Anne, Another great video loaded with useful tips and information. No more old knickers for me 😂!! I'm on the hunt for tummy flattening knickers! I'd like to share something I do to enhance my look - wear moulded shoulder pads under my bra straps. They help gently build up my shoulders and make tee shirts, blouses, sweaters all hang better and make my waist look slimmer and more youthful. I bought mine from Amazon and they're made of latex type material that has a light stick on one side to help them stay in place. They come in flesh tone and clear tone and are very comfortble to wear.

Although I am in my early 40’s I feel so inspired, I have never tried to look polished because I was under the impression it would be expensive..Thank you I am no longer trapped I look and feel great!

Hairstyles can age you. It’s good to change it up. For me, shorter hair makes me look younger. I know many who have long hair that look great but it doesn’t work for me. Also keeping flexible. Walking stiff definitely makes you look older. Love love love the tips. 💕

Great suggestions! Love your points about the jeans and masculine additions. To look younger, one thing I always choose is a close to the body fit, especially in my tee shirts and tailored shirts. Anything that droops under the arms can create unwanted volume that ages the body. Thanks, Marie-Anne, for a superb video-as always! 💝🙋‍♀️

My trick? Smile. It pulls the muscles of your face up and prevents "marionette lines" around your mouth. Smile even when you don't feel like it. When I do that I find that my mood follows suit.

Every psychiatrist should give his lady patients a voucher for Giant Tiger as part of the therapy. Fabric is SO important to women. I just got a cute white and blue top at Talbots on sale and a pale blue skirt for FIVE bucks at Blue Note. I live in Ottawa, Canada. Do you have Blue Note down there? Mixing and matching saves money. For me if I feel.that I must enter a certain store it is because some fabulous garment is waiting for me. Don't ignore these thoughts. I got a gorgeous coat with a fur colour for fifty bucks at a charity shop two years ago. It was worth fifty dollars!

Knee-length skirts for sure, especially in heavier fabrics for the cooler months. I also have two summer skirts, both from Talbot’s: one ever so slightly above the knee, the other slightly flared and ever so slightly below. They seem more suitable for warm-weather dressing.

Thanks again for good tips, I think I can incorporate into my wardrobe!

Well, one has to take into account your body shape. If I wear a white t shirt, I just look massive and butch as I have wide shoulders and a tummy. You have a very slim figure so it is flattering on you. Thank you for the tips. I find so many dresses now are cut wide with way too much fabric...it's all about finding your brand that has nice classic shapes and clothing that is well-made. Hard to find nowadays.

Your whip cracks me up! LOL! Yes, I will investigate laser cut underwear. I never heard of them before. I think I look younger, by not wearing current trends. What is in style is usually geared for younger people. I find a classic look and maybe throwing on a cute scarf or belt, or hat, looks chic, as well as younger. Also, a cute hairstyle or cut helps out. Great video!
