Question:
How will you dress when you are 60?
I was thinking about this the other day and I feel that no matter how old you are you should never sacrifice style for those awful orthopaedic shoes and pleated tartan skirts! To be honest I don't think that 'our generation' or even my mum's generation (she's 53) will succumb to that!
I wanna be a stylish mum & granny but definately not 'mutton dressed as lamb'. I would adapt the more 'mature' aspects of the current fashion into my style but stick to wearing classic items that suit my colouring and shape.
For example, if I was 60 right now, a typical outfit for me would be wide leg trousers in grey with a fitted white shirt, a neck scarf and red pointy shoes (for a bit of 'sass' ;) ) And a nice fitted black mac. :) Hey I'd probably wear that now, only with more chunky accessories!
Or even a gorgeous wrap dress in flattering colours over jeans (which I also wear now)!
I would stay well clear of leopard print and anything 60's. However I'd invest in a few dog tooth pieces (the smaller print though!...maybe a fitted coat/jacket (like the DP one) as it is a classic print and I think it looks good on older, more stylish women :D
How will you dress?? ;)
The things you think of Ylang :lol: What are you like!
I don't like leopard print on old women but I see it loads where I live (near Marbella). I'll never get over the day I spotted a woman who must have been at least 70 wearing a leopard print catsuit with matching stilletos at nine in the morning!
God knows what I'll be wearing in thirty years, a funky space suit for my hols hopefully. I definitely want a blue rinse though:lol:

I know I do think of the strangest things don't I? :D :angel:
I was talking about this the other day!
I was saying i'm going to turn all eccentric and start wearing random weird hats
;)
All old people dress the same anyway don't they? Lots of beige and 3 jumpers even when its about 90 degrees. And those sensible clarks shoes with american tan wrinkly tights.
Pretty much like you i hope Ylang!
Bootcut jeans (if i still have the figure and can get away with them), Wide leg trousers, wrap dresses, fitted shirts, loose fine knit jumpers but sass it up with plenty of accessories.
I would wear leopard print but only on a neckscarf or some shoes that could just be seen poking out of my wide leg trews.
My mum is 49 and already thinks she's too old for fashion :rolleyes: and hence is slowly starting to dress a bit grannified.
My nan is pretty much the same although since my grandad died she's starting buying more clothes and making an effort - probably because he isn't around to moan about her spending money :lol:
