Are we looking younger than our mothers/grandmothers did at the same age?

We don't look younger imo, clothing and hair styles have changed. My grandmothers and mum didn't wear trousers or jeans.

Apart from Sunday Church or other Church days, I only wear jeans.

What people wear has no effect whatsoever on their face/skin/bone structure, I agree.

Faces can look quite tense if the body is trussed up in tight clothes and pointy high heels are crushing feet and affecting spinal alignment.

Without a doubt, that's true.
It still doesnt mean that an 80 year old looks 50 when they take off their shoes, though.
Even if it feels as if it does!

Best not to even start with the uncomfortable clothes and shoes!

Yes, but that has got nothing to do with age. If a woman at any age chooses to wear tighty clothes and pointy high heels they get everything they deserve.

I was young in the 60s when high stiletto heels were all the rage. I tried them for a few months and chucked them, opting for shoes with little Louis heels. This was a distincive enough thing to do that someone, describing me to someone else, but not knowing my name said 'You know, the girl who always wears those low heels.'

The trick to aging well is to choose your parents carefully having first checked out their genetic inheritance.

Good advice M0nica!
