Ooh, you have me looking at the Boden sale now grin

I like red at Christmas. You could always save it until then if you're worried!

I have been buying from Boden for about 20 years, I'm nearly 70yrs.

I go full colour, I have my eye on a multi coloured Cashmere jumper atm waiting for 20% off as its new season.
Wear it for yourself, I do and enjoy the admiration from others.
Sounds like you picked up a bargain too?

Are you (really) asking because it no longer feels "you" now you have it at home?

You don't have to answer here - just ask yourself.

I like red, and wear it often. Pastel colours don’t suit me at all, they make me look older. Go for it - if you like it you’ll feel good in it, and that will show on your face.

Wear what you like and you’re comfortable with. I love people watching and find everyone’s choice of clothing very interesting.
I hope you get many happy wears.

Whats wrong with wearing any colour that suits you.

I love Boden, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing colours at any age.

Wear it with swagger 💃

I wear whatever I like and am mostly found wearing something that is colourful.

67 here and wear whatever colours I like. I am sure you look lovely.

I'm 68 and wear a lot of red as it suits me. If you think you look good in it and it makes you happy - go for it.

I’m not aware that you have to stop wearing certain colours because if your age.
If it suits you and you feel comfortable wear whatever colour you like.

Help, I need some fashion advice.
I've just bought a Boden dress in the sale. It was a bargain, was £90 reduced to under £30.
It's red Jersey, long sleeved, paisley pattern.
I bought in readiness for autumn/winter. I have never bought Boden before as so pricey. I do love the quality and the brightness. I usually wear dresses as find comfy.
I'm late 60s, size 14ish and 5ft 10ins.
My question is, am I too old for bright red? I don't want to look as 'mutton'.
However, I do love fashion and try to make an effort.
All advice gratefully received
