Realistic fashion advice

wot's a phot?

I found some cream trousers (in the sale) and a cream and black loosish top (will be more floaty when I lose more weight). I felt more comfortable in trousers even though it was hot.

You do look very glam in that phot MawBroon . I like the hair but can't wear mine long like that.

Some lovely clothes on that site MawB, but a tad expensive for me, may get some ideas off there though.

12 years ago I was married at age 56 wearing soft trousers and a matching long coat, aubergine sheer-ish fabric. Rag-tag-scraps stitched randomly onto the coat, and a fabulous head adornment that I found in m & s for £5.

I wore it again later that year for dss wedding.

For the wedding of another son I wore a full length black dress with taffeta soft structure jacket.

For 3rd son I wore chocolate colour trousers and scoop top with a chocolate linen/mesh/applique soft structured calf length coat.

You can tell I don't put my legs on show, too many veins. There are lovely outfits out there. What about personal shopper at Debenhams. We have one son left and if he sets the date that's what I will do.

What about a long slimline skirt/dress and coat? Or, look at Box2 they do lovely coats which you can wear over a top and trousers or top and longish skirt.

I`ve just been told that one of my grandsons is getting married "sometime next year", and am already panicking about what to wear. I love dresses, but never feel dressed up anymore, as I can no longer wear tights, can`t put the things on anymore. But I don`t feel that trousers are suitable for a wedding, unless I find some that are really special.

I highlight the good bits, disguise the bad bits, now more numerous than the good. Think that getting a few key pieces that really suit you and working round that, if I wear leggings, and I am 70, I have longish top and boots, if I wear a skirt or dress now it is with black tights, love scarves and chunky jewellry, if I wear sleeveless I wear a web type cardigan or shrug. You can get lovely comfortable stylish footwear, there is do much choice. I love fashion and make up and can't see me changing. Granny sue, why would anyone want to enhance that area? The mind boggles. There is only so much of my body I want on display, I am gradually covering more and more.

Yuk!

The worst version is when the leggings are flesh coloured. I've seen girls round here who might as well be walking about naked.

if you wear clothes that tight,it can only be because you want to reveal it, again a non-problem.

I think camel toe is when you can see the outline and shape of the labia.

I just think the term is more disgusting than the the proper naming of parts and the problem is a non-problem. In over 60 years of trouser/legging/jegging/shorts wearing with every length or brevity of top, it has never ever occurred to me to even think about it, still less worry about it.

Monica I think the point about the camel toe knickers are that they deliberately enhance the anatomical detail of the pudendum by means of padding, rather like a padded bra.
I wear well-fitting trousers but the camel-toe knickers would be a step too far, for me.

Don't shoot the messenger!

Camel toe is not a good look, as in someone wearing tight leggings with a short top.

Well that's me told!!

What a ludicrous and quite unpleasant euphemism for describing the crotch or groin area of trousers.

What is the problem with the area? Are we meant to hide it less we offend someone? Why doesn't this apply to men as well?

Someone mentioned the tight trouser problem, presumably if you wear very tight trousers drawing attention to the crotch, you want it to be looked at. If you feel no need to indulge in such exhibitionism you buy a larger size or different style of trousers.

I wear short tops, long tops or tucked in and belted shirts with trousers. It all depends on the type of trousers/leggings I am wearing and how I think top and trouser look together.

I cannot be bothered with either the exhibitionism or the hint of prurience or prudity suggested by worries about the crotch area of trousers .

Yes grannysue it is! .

Back to my post...apparantly you can buy camel toe KNICKERS to enhance .....uhum.....that area .... not tights as I first said. Im not a prude, far from it, but is this a step too far?

It's what my friend's daughter used to call her front bottom!

Thanks Cherrytree59 and DanniRae... I am now enlightened....DIL has texted me today (cos I asked her too !) that you can now buy special tights that ENHANCE this "area".....the mind simply boggles. I was brought up in the 1950's to cover the bottom appropriately when wearing trousers. How times have changed.

How can I put it delicately? The camel hoof area is the area below the belt and at the front of a lady. Only relevant if the lady is wearing a very tight lower body garment. I hope this clears it up for you grannysue??

Grannysue the V area top of legs when wearing trousers or jeans.
