What You Look Like & What You Wear ?

I’ve got arthritis so I wear what is comfortable. Wear dress summer or unless I’m going to a party or wedding can only wear flats now loved my heels when I could wear them but I wear Moda in pelle shoes because they do stylishly flats got loads different colours and sparkly trainers all from them. Also wear jeggings bootcut trousers skinny jeans leggings different styles of tops biker jacket flat long boots animal print lol whatever takes my fancy still got long hair leather trousers skirt. I wear what I feel like wearing and not what anyone else is wearing.

I’m considering a new clothing brand - “Apples & Pears” - which will produce clothing for women who don’t have an industry standard shape. Who will also put garments together to fit each customer. Now how do I get on Dragon’s Den..?

Hi there
I love bright colours Lime ,Tuquoise,Red;Pink,Blues to name but a few ...I dislike dark colours and only have a pair of Black knee high boots.I buy tops from Kettlewell and Love "And other stories "As well as Boden although I havent bought a great deal for a while. I'm always that person who sticks out in the Winter but I dont want to look like everyone else if I can help it LOL(laughing out loud)

I will be going to funeral next month but I will be wearing a Black dress with embroidered bright flowers.
Be you...Be comfortable...I'll be the old lady (mid 50s now)that will make people smile because I'm unique.but I've not always been that way....

I dress casually (very casually) - trousers, cropped trousers, long loose tops and flat shoes. I never wear heels. Rarely wear skirts (I only have one) or dresses and I never wear black, not even for funerals. I like bright colours and luxury fabrics: silk, linen, velvet. I wear what I like the look of and what is comfortable. I avoid beige like the plague, my mother lived in beige, she thought she could blend into the background, I don't want to be like her. My hair is silver grey and I cut it myself in a short bob, I refuse to pay £50 a month for a haircut!

This probably classifies me as another boring oldie. I don't care. I'm comfortable with my style (or lack of it) and as I rarely go anywhere I have no reason to dress up or buy lots of clothes.

I don't pay too much attention to what other people wear, especially so-called celebrities. Though I do think Judy Dench, Prue Leith and Mary Berry always looks very smart.

Knee length cotton shorts,longish v necked sleeveless tops,a long lightweight cardi and a scarf if it gets cool and fit flops for the summer. Black jeans,long v necked sleeved t shirts,heavy weight long cardi,scarf and Doc Martens or similar in winter. If I go to a party or a wedding will wear a dress and medium heeled shoes but that's about it. Always have a scarf to hand,tend to colour match most of my outfits and dye my hair bright colours. Today it's pink on the top,purple on the left side and teal on the right side and back. Beyond caring what people think or say

*Pretty Nancy* check the Roman Originals site ,they do loads of knee length dresses and many that dont have awful patterns on them.My pet hate is big patterns so I buy a fair amount from them.

I do have Roman Originals stretchy capris and trousers they are very comfy and lovely colours. I had not looked at their website for a while, and just seen the 'petite' offerings. The majority of the dresses are midi or even ankle length! and lots of 'V' necks

Ageing hippie here. So long hair (side swiped pony), bright colours. Normally I wear dresses in flowery prints and quite often retro 50s flared styles, coloured shoes if I can find them.... DH says I always look quite elegant - and I don't, on the whole, dress scruffily. I haven't worn trousers for a while because I put on weight during lockdown and didn't want to buy new ones; the weight is now being shifted and so the jeans may re-appear in the not too distant future. They'll be teamed with bright tops though.

I don’t think I have a style icon. Around the house and garden I wear black Landsend (yes I know, made in China now) jersey trousers and a longish (but not too long, shortens legs) top or jumper. Jeans if I go out or linen trousers in summer. And jackets, have always loved a smart jacket. No cardigans. I wear mostly black and navy but have three bright coloured tops, red, emerald and cobalt blue, plus white and cream, and also some bright pink and bright green jeans. Pastels don’t suit me. Nothing patterned. A black trouser suit for a smart occasion. The dress and jacket I bought for son’s wedding sit in solitary splendour in the wardrobe along with a black dress and jacket I kept after retiring, no other dresses or skirts after a lifetime of wearing dresses and skirt suits for work. I always wear flat shoes or boots with trousers, have never liked the heels with trousers look. So overall quite a plain look but I like it.

I wear skirts and long sleeved t shirts mostly at home.

In the winter and autumn and early spring I change into a pair of blue jeans before going shopping, usually with ski pants under them, purely in order to keep warm out of doors.

I wear my old skirts at home, and put on a nicer (aka ironed one) if going to the dentist, doctor, or up to the museum where I volunteer.

There hasn't been anything approaching social life since spring of 2020 after all, so our good clothes are hanging unused.

Blossoming

Oh no Fanny C, my eyes!

They are absolutely hideous, aren’t they?
They look so cheap and nasty.
Last year they did Liberty print ones.
Mine are navy blue with Woodstock and Charlie Brown on them

Oh no Fanny C, my eyes!

I wear tie dye and harem pants, bright colours avoid black as I look like a maggot. Monkey boots I’ve had since the 70’s.
Long floaty skirts, usually a hat and I smell of patchouli. My hippy has never been “inner “?

Pretty Nancy check the Roman Originals site ,they do loads of knee length dresses and many that dont have awful patterns on them.My pet hate is big patterns so I buy a fair amount from them.

It is really chilly!

I love colour. It affects my mood and happiness.

Today I have on lemon capris, lime green t shirt, grass green and blue cotton sweater. I’m freezing! Really need some woolies on it’s so cold.

On my wish list!!
?

Yes, I do have a pair of crocs, for tramping round the farm when I go.

Blossoming

My style nightmare would be animal print with crocs.

Can I tempt you with these Blossoming?https://m.jdsports.co.uk/product/brown-crocs-classic-clog-platform-womens/16481440/?cm_mmc=googleshop-_-google-_-shopping-_-pla&istCompanyId=9c5cf6f7-3142-4f9f-be57-2fce9c67adfd&istFeedId=014e8b49-620d-4e56-9e87-79529c403af2&istItemId=pqmlamrqp&istBid=tzxx&gclid=CjwKCAjwp7eUBhBeEiwAZbHwkXih284x-9IiV2I9jrDM01BAt1_cJUs-vCCXLWxCJ0D2D5bU9ljyMxoCP4sQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Definitely a jeans and striped (probably Breton) top has been my wardrobe staple for years…. I will wear a knee length denim skirt in the warmer months and linen shirts too, mt wardrobe is disgustingly bursting and needs a good clear out but the above is what I always fall back on.

See other thread, dogsmother

You can sit in a corner with us ?

I guess I look ‘matronly’ if anything ??, big boobs are my bête noire.
Since I retired my wardrobe is casual, jeans or jogging shoes, longline tops, Breton tee shirts (I love stripes, dislike most florals). I used to wear a lot of black because I thought it looked slimming but now to heck with that! I rarely wear green or yellow but love jewel colours.
Packing for holiday I am deliberately going for brighter colours, with navy for contrast.
Shoe-wise I go for comfort, an ankle full of pins and plates dictate sensible and comfortable (even more so now I am developing arthritis in my toes and ankles ?

I don't have a style icon!

I am 5' 3" and most of the dresses these days are 'midi', which almost come down to my ankles, and I don't do 'droopy'!
But, the alternative, 'mini' looks ridiculous on a 70-year-old.
I spend a lot of time in long tops and leggings/jeggings and shorts or cropped leggings in summer. I try to get petite fittings and I like Seasalt, the waists then land where they are supposed to. I have had to stop wearing the 'v' necks that suited me when I was in an F cup bra, and now I am completely flat I am looking forward to getting some A cup foobs very soon, I used to look so 'matronly'. I have thinned out my wardrobe considerably and the local charity shops have done well!

I refuse to wear beige.
Love flowery prints.
Hate wearing tights.
I get really cross buying shoes, I have wide feet and they all look awful.

In winter I wear mainly blue or black jeans in the winter with turquoise, blue or purple tops. In summer (which I much prefer) I wear linen trousers or long skirts or maxi dresses in bright colours. Basically I'm dressing very like my daughter. My feet are always swollen now so I wear trainers or Hotter shoes in bright colours. My hair is getting shorter and shorter. My mother used to say she didn't know why old ladies had their hair cut like men's, but honestly it's so much easier than trying to force it into some sort of style.

I hadn’t heard of Blundstones CanadianGran, I just looked them up and now on my wish list - I like the contrast elasticated panels, and I bet they last for years!

I love green, but it has to be the right shade. I love lime greens and dislike emerald greens.

There was a music festival here, virtually outside our front door, a few years ago. I have a wonderful photo of me not just channeling but releasing my inner hippy, in a khaki vest top, flowery maxi skirt and flat sandals with a canvas shoulder bag. Happy days ?

I love jeans and boots, midi length dresses and white trainers, denim jackets etc. Also channelling my inner hippy! I love black, navy, blue, pink and purple. Not a fan of very pale colours and absolutely hate green. I can't even have green pegs on my washing line!
