When I was 16 (I’m about to turn 64!) I purchased a “Boilersuit” (something that steel worker’s wear) in dusty blue parachute silk. That garment was so versatile you could dress it up or down. But no matter how I styled it, it always turned heads. I’ve been searching for years to replace it, to absolutely no avail. I can’t even find similar material. It’s all polyester now. Love your videos. Keep up the good work 🤍

I like how you said, “denim your way.” I think sometimes we become so dominated by one style it doesn’t feel fun. Seeing other trends like wide leg, flare, and straight leg come back into style has been sooo fun. I also think depending on style costume jewelry has its place and can be just as fun and timeless as small, dainty pieces. Thanks for the history behind some of the classics and why they’ve been around for so long. It was interesting. 🤍

I agree, I’m 63 and I love fashion more than ever! Most fashion YTers are in their teens or 20s, so it’s a bit difficult to relate to what they’re wearing, like babydoll micro-mini dresses, bra tops, or Daisy Dukes. On the other hand, the few video channels for older women often feature frumpy clothes with those “mature outfits/styles/elements” like tunic tops over leggings or skinnies, capri pants, big shirts down to mid-thigh, 3/4-length sleeves, big, loose necklines, etc. I wouldn’t be caught dead in any of that, either. I prefer updated, but essentially classic, styles in premium fabrics that are breathable (no synthetics, even in blends). I still wear mini-lengths; being petite they’re quite long enough, just a few inches above the knee, for me, but not micro-minis like those ugly belt skirts, with the pockets hanging down, that barely cover the wearer’s bottom. I inherited great legs, so I show them off. My grandma’s legs still looked like they did at 18 when she died in her mid-80s.

Excellent video!

Shop second hand if you have a tight budget, I rarely by anything new and wear high end brands that I would never pay full price for. Good for the planet too!

As a woman of 63, I suggest that young woman size up in any investment belt. It’s extremely unlikely that your waist measurement will stay the same after 40 or 50. This has nothing to do with maintaining diet, weight, fitness or general size, the body just begins to store more fat around the middle in the perimenopausal and menopausal years. It just happens to everyone, including mature men, whose hormonal changes are more gradual. I remember watching my hourglass shape gradually turn more rectangular, almost month by month, with waistbands becoming too tight. No one thinks at 25 or 35 that this will happen to them, but it will. I bought my good belts in my 20s in a Medium instead of my true size then, a Small/XS, so now I can still enjoy wearing them. (It’s difficult to compare sizes from 40 years ago, they’ve become so much bigger since then. I was the smallest available size then, which was a 4 or 2 in Petites only, now that’s about an 8. There were no sizes 0, 00, or 000 then, that’s all new. My hips are still a current size 6/8, but my waist is around a size 10, or even 12 in some brands. Even within a single brand it varies, I just got a perfectly-fitting-waist skirt in a size 12 from BRFactory, but the shorts in the same size and style just fall off! I wish brands would attempt to standardize sizes again, this time internationally (the only time this was done was in the US). I can wear anything from a XXS to a L, it’s frustrating.

Comment puis-je supprimer la speakerine ?

I found that I was still wearing “teenager clothes” a few years ago. I’m now 68 but I thought older women wore fat, flowered dresses! I still wear 4” heels, but I sold lots of clothes on Poshmark and spent the last two years purchasing used silk, cashmere, and wool on the internet. I’m definitely keeping my leather jackets and big wool coats. I would wear everything on this video! Great job!
