![]() ![]() I feel sorry for very young kids wearing very little in Summer heat when the sun could affect their bareness so easily. |

A woman of 35 in a mini skirt and a pony tail is a no no. And definitely never at 50!

I wear jeans when it's super hot out, as the legs area allows some air to flow through. Always wear a jacket of sorts too to protect my arms, and a hat.

Erm, wear whatever you like?
Unless you have rolls of fat on display in a top that is three sizes too small for you, I can't see the problem. I seriously couldn't care less if people in their 20s, 50s or 90s decide to wear jeans, tweed, polyester or leather. I think the main thing is to know what suits you, and to not look downright silly. Somehow Jeremy Clarkson springs to mind. That is seriously NOT a good look. |

![]() Pink would look good, but somehow white wouldn't suit, although yellow would. ![]() What colour would you choose?

Actually, I once saw an 80-odd year old woman at the bus stop in black stilettos.

Yes. God help the sun may touch their bare skin
![]() I still remember that wee girl I saw last summer on the hottest day, looking very uncomfortable, wearing a dress and a hat which didn't shade her face properly in her dad's arms with the sun full on her. I was geared against the sun's rays, and could deal with the heat very well right through last summer.

Yeah but her legs looked like apples in a pair of stockings.
![]() ![]() My ma always wore a higher heel and she looked good in them. Flat shoes wouldn't have suited her, and she was 73.

Ridiculous comment! Millions of over 40's wear jeans, and look just fine in them. Plenty of younger people in jeans who shouldn't be, with their underwear on show and in the wrong size usually.
You're probably right. Its just me. I have this thing about mutton. |

Surely if you look good in something age is irrelevant. I've seen some right fat, ugly twenty year olds in mini skirts while Elle MacPherson is in her forties and looks spectacular. Who has my support?

People from all eras, just wear what they used to wear when they were younger. So my Grandads often wore cardigans, that were popular in the 50s. Ive always worn black jeans and black t shirts, since the 80's. I suppose, you'd look a bit silly wearing something that was at the cutting edge of fashion at its time, ie wearing glittery platforms might have been of its time, but in general you can get away with anything.
I don't subscribe to the theory that you are ever too old to wear anything. |

should be in polyester by then.
I hate polyester, I would never wear anything made of it. When I'm 40 I'm still going to be wearing the same clothes I wear now (or something like them if they don't fit).

I couldn't care less if something is age appropriate or not. All through the years i gave up wearing certain clothes because i do not have the body them anymore, never because i think they have an age limit.
Hot pants and cropped top are out of the question for me now , but they should also be out of the question for some 20 year olds i see passing by. |

And nowadays grandads are the same age as The Beatles (or them left alive) - so they were the first generation to wear jeans. I'm always a bit disappointed not to see more grandads in jeans. (My grandad still wore shorts aged 71, in summer. He looked fine too but then he was super healthy and outdoorsy).
At the weekend we saw a grandad in a speed boat bombing up and down the river. It looked great fun. And got chatting to another one bombing along on his 1960's racing bike. Mutton dressed as lamb can be a bit embarrassing, but it's almost worse to look like a Jehovah's Witness librarian when you're 23. Most women my generation seem half the size of younger women now so can get away with wearing better clothes than them, too. T.K. Maxx is a wonderful place. |
