what to wear at 60 plus?

They have hoarded those skirts since the 80's?
I will now look around and see if anyone is wearing lilac Petra

MOnica I've often wondered where they buy those skirts. You never see them in shops, do you? And what is the obsession with mauve and lilac, I see a lot of old people in these two colours.

Wear what you like pennyb, it's your life. Personally, I'm trying to develop eccentricity in my attire, which is quite difficult if you can only be bothered to shop at (and moan about) MandS! I'm 72 but I pretty much wear the same as DD except hers is usually the designer version.

I think classic well cut pieces such a good trousers, a good coat, comfortable but smart shoes are wardrobe staples. Personally I wouldn't wear anything glitzy in day time or primary colours which can be very harsh on the skin. Good grooming is the key - a good haircut & re think your make up with the help of someone on a good make up counter in a large store or in a spa. Use accessories to complement rather than disguise. Good luck with buying your new clothes.

Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Most days I wear jeans and jumper or t-shirt . Your age should not dictate what you wear

What I wear now is exactly the kind of clothes that most under 60s wear, I shop in the same shops as DD and DDiL, and, even, DGD. I see no reason to wear any particular style just because I am now in my 70s. If I like the look of myself in something I wear it. DD would be quick enough to warn me off if I was unsuitably dressed.

I think the biggest danger to older women is the tendency to not change their style once they reach their late 40s. I was that age in the 1980s. The number of my friends and acquaintances around my age who still like floral mid length skirts with a smart jacket over is too many to count. I stopped wearing them aorund 1989.
