What I miss wearing - age related

Short skirts, apart from not being appropriate at my age, my long slim legs are now decorated with veins!

Turning it round - I love never having to wear stockings, underwear with no stretch, jeans (I'm a weirdo about jeans), short skirts, platform soles, and anything just because of fashion/social pressure. Always felt I was 'in costume' at work (secretary - good at the job but not the idiot image).

lol...snap Ollie

I'd love to be able to wear my very short mini-skirts again .

I really miss being able to wear mini skirts. I never appreciated my nice slim legs when I had them!

For those who like to cover their arms, I get this type of cool top. I wore it over a long dress recently at a family do, when it was a very hot day, and I felt cool and looked OK. Better than exposing my very ugly arms to all. I don't mind at home or locally! I also have similar linen shirts but they can be too hot, and they crease.

Flossieturner Agree wholeheartedly! MyWedding dress (mentioned above) was kind-of Mary Quant-ish.

I'm honestly not being rude olive2709 but do you mind if I ask how you managed to wear thongs? I tried them and managed for less than half an hour!

Also flip-flops! My middle daughter and I cannot wear these! I only have to think of them and blisters start appearing between my toes!

I’ve just been to the Mary Quant at the V&A. I really miss those Sixties fashions. I thought it was the best time to be young.

I don't miss anything in particular. I have tended to keep clothes a long time as I'm roughly the same shape and size. I still wear trousers/jeans and tops and prefer long sleeved tops summer and winter as I burn in Summer. I married in low heels or I would have looked taller than my husband. High heels do look better but there are lovely low-heeled shoes too.

About 15 years ago I discovered some tee-shirt nightdresses that look like day clothes and I wear these a lot around the house! Very comfortable, easy to wash and hardly need ironing!

I wish I could find the pattern from which I made my Wedding dress as I would like a shorter one like it! It was not unlike Megan's but less full in the skirt.

Mini skirts, long floaty hippy dresses, huge flares, headbands and yes me too, sleeveless tops.
Just miss my younger body, and face ?

Wish I could manage without glasses.

False eyelashes and towering heels..

Me too Callistemon

Size 10 & Sexy Undies

A bikini, I only wear one piece swimsuits now.

Atqui - Just what I was going to say! I really like jumpsuits but getting to the loo on time could be a problem now, so I can't risk it!

Little knickers, thongs, with matching bras always had 2/3pairs matching pants different styles for each bra love undies . Don't like online for underwear might try to get to Touchwood in the next couple of months bravisamo my fave shop

I'm still laughing at the Burka , Bagatelle

Shoes with heels, no, not particularly high heels, just a bit of a heel. Because of a foot problem my shoes are at flat.

I don't miss wearing high-heels, much prefer my Sketchers and Flyflots!

I do agree about the high heels! The right shoes can make an outfit. However I’ve discovered the combination of midi skirts or dresses with trainers or plimsolls. A lot of my daughters friends do this and they look great.

Just been to family wedding and now realise even my low heels are too painful to wear for several hours. Also upper arms are now strangely muscular - people were commenting on this so a couple of years ago I decided they would henceforth be covered! My aim is to feel comfortable in whatever I'm wearing - psychologically as well as physically...so I can concentrate on the more important things in my life...

Skirts, shorter sleeves and high heels. Covered in bruises on my arms and legs and arthritis in my big toes. Like a previous contributor , I think I’ll have to resort to burka and wellingtons or a bubble wrap suit! ???

Heels Heels Heels

Particularly if it's a special occasion, like a wedding.

How can you look really smart without high heels if you're 5'3 and with short legs? Aaaah - they make all the difference.
