What not to wear...

If I cover anymore up I'll be going about like a bee-keeper!

Yes, have to agree with crimson, my neck's awful, and I don't wear polo necks as it's too short, I used to try and keep it straight by keeping my head up, I must have looked like an idiot, so I've gave up, and try not to think about it, as it's just another one of my "things I don't like about my aging body"!

Of course, you can cover up knees and necks, but you can't very well wear gloves all the time.

I think necks are the big give away.

I didn't now that you could have a knee lift. Whatever next?

These photos of knees, are all of women who strive to stay thin, if you have loose skin around your knees it's bound to hang there , it's nowhere else to go, or does it eventually end up round your ankles?

Knees and hands have always been regarded as the give-aways of age. Some women look as if they are permanently wearing rubber gloves. However, that grotesque gallery of the knees of the rich and famous was wonderfully heartening Anagram. My legs certainly look much better than that but I'll still stick by my decision to abandon short skirts, made when I reached 50.

I agree with grannyimp about a bit of fat being good against wrinkles. being complimented a little while ago on my skin I remember the now-Dowager Duchess of Bedford (ex-model and very glamorous) saying that as you get older you can choose between your face and your behind!!

My knees aren't so good but not as bad as some of these, I'm a bit overweight, so maybe the fat's keeping them plumped up a bit

Yes! Bring back knee-covering fashions, I say! Don't they realise?

There are some very odd knees in that collection. Mine seem quite normal now - it's what's above them that's so gross.

Anagram you have made my day. My knees are nothing like that, I would go as far as to say that my knees are not that bad

Trinny and susannah (remember them ) said that all women over 30 (thats us.... just !) should cover their knees as there were never going to be as good as when we were younger. Mine were never much to write home about before I was 30 !!!!

Cleavage fairly unwrinkled and yes, I do like a plunging neckline. Definitely no knees on view.

Yes, I'm partial to a plunging neckline, but my knees are definately not gotng on display!

Mine isn't either, in fact I have taken to wearing more plunging necklines of late - it detracts from what is above the chin although I have to agree on the knees and lower legs - shorts only to be worn in the privacy of the back garden!

My cleavage isn't wrinkled, pity about my face!

Cleavage? Surely not for wrinklies!!
Along with wrinkly knees a wrinkly cleavage has to be a no no!

We had to keep our hockey socks up with garters which almost stopped our circulation. I was lucky to be the eldest of three daughters, so my clothes didn't need to be too big for me, only tough enough to be passed down the family. Our blazers were royal blue which faded in the salty sea air to end up sky blue. Mostly they were bought new.

Yes, too-tight garters and the same blazer throughout Grammar school for me, too!

The same for me! How I hated that place and the grey lisle stockings we had to wear!

Oh Yes Green I remember garters - my Mum sewed little rings of elastic and yes, they were too tight! I went to boarding school when I was 11 and my blazer sleeves were off the end of my hands; when I left aged 17, I was still in the same blazer only the sleeves were half way up my forearms; that's taking economy a bit far

I think my mother bought everything for me to 'grow into', Anagram! I was always very tall for my age, and everything I wore seemed to be too long for me, so that I would get plenty of wear out of it before I grew any further....except for my socks which never reached my knees properly . Can anyone remember having to wear 'garters' made of elastic which held your socks up? My socks were always fawn, and the elastic was always too tight.

No, vests were normal , I just had a short body, still have, although it's grown more rotund!
