Does anyone ever change the way they dress from time to time as they get older? I am very fit, but now I wear sundresses and more comfy clothing after dcs. I am only 36. What will it be like when i am 40? omg [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

40! OMG! get a grip woman! I'm 45 and while I no longer wear mini skirts (even though I have fantastic legs and could pull it off) I don't dress all that differently. It's not like you are elderly after 40 [ Reply | More

yes! And also on how fit you are. Getting older does mean some things are off limits but it doesn't mean you have to be a frump. I work hard to stay in shape and show off what I still have! [ Reply | More

Hey, if you can pull it off, then go for it. Nothing wrong with an older woman dressing fashionably. [ Reply | More

ita. you don't have to look like you're going to a hannah montana concert or starring in satc 3, but hiding your body makes you look even older imo. [ Reply | More

i find myself dressing more frumpy sometimes. i go on a quick shopping spree to upgrade and then go out on the town with dh or friends a few times. HOWEVER, i never wear miniskirst or other age-inappropriate things. [ Reply | More

i'm medium height, thin and in very good shape. great legs. and i never know if i'm youthful looking, but it's very possible. i think also dh would say something if he thought they weren't working. fwiw, i don't like that many minis. only have one skirt and a short dress that i wear for special occasions.

Age appropriate clothes, please. I may be able to fit into the same clothes that my 22 y/o babysitter wears, but I'd look like a fool in low-riding, skin-tight jeans and belly shirts. She'd look equally absurd in my suits. [ Reply | More

why would a 22 year old woman look absurd in suits? I am a 27 yo woman who has been wearing suits since I graduated law school four years ago. are you saying I did/do look absurd? does a 22 yo man look absurd in suits??? [ Reply | More

This term "age-appropriate" is a bit crazy. If you look good and you like it, wear it. I still wear miniskirts and short dresses at 32, and I don't think it is an age issue. Some people look good at 60; others look bad at 25. I hope I am in the former group. [ Reply | More

I am 45 and I like sundresses best when its hot. I still wear them quite short; age is not important. Dh has never complained, but I know he would if I started dressing like I was "old". [ Reply | More

i think it's fine, but if you want to mix it up a little, why not? how about some skinny jeans to show off your body every once in awhile? if you feel frumpy, you are frumpy. [ Reply | More
