I'm not quite ready for this yet. |
I thought it would be one of those "Do's and Don'ts" sort of things; criticizing older women on "Fashion" grounds, but it doesn't. The thesis is that older women (defined as "over 53" good Lord) find jean shopping too stressful. Really? It's not nearly as stressful as shopping for a comfortable bra!
But I would contend that (at least for me) there is a right way and wrong way to wear jeans.
Right:
Wrong:
I'm not comfortable with the tucked-in look. My torso is too short. |
But it's not as if I pretend to be fashionable; I never know what's going on in the world of haute couture. For instance, here's an article titled "How mom jeans became sexy"--from 2015!! It turns out that mom jeans have been sexy for over two years! As usual, I'm so far out of style, I'm in again.
But ripped jeans? Sorry, I will never understand that. Never. When I was a teenager, if you wore ripped jeans, it meant: 1) your family was too poor to buy you decent clothes; 2) your mom couldn't sew/patch clothing.
But, as I say, I know nothing of these High Fashion matters:
The crowns and hobo bags...must be some kind of social justice statement. |
I also read a fashion advice column not so long ago that said: "People over 50 should stop wearing graphic T-shirts."
And my answer to that is:
NO. . |
Nice photo....of you.
ReplyDeleteAnother short torso here too. (Not to mention a spare tire although I guess that's now known as a muffin top.) I will never tuck a shirt in ever. I like the tunic trend for the same reason. Haven't seen the return of the Mom Jeans anywhere around here.
ReplyDeleteLooking fabulous, Mrs P.

Thank you, Anonymous (re the pic). Personally, I prefer Grumpy Cat.
ReplyDeleteDaria, I like long tunics and sweaters for the same muffins reason.
Thank you, Mrs Teneblurn! (Ps, you can use this time off FB to start contributing to DOH--wink).
Gorgeous look. I always like to wear a suit. When I have any meetings or important program then I definitely wear a suit. It makes me gorgeous and I feel confident. BTW bunch of thanks for sharing this lovely post with us. I always follow your blog whenever I get time. Who is the most famous suit company according to you? Flannel Nightgowns For Elderly
