What counts as “old lady clothes” nowadays?

I need the brilliance and sharp eyes of Gransnet! As I approach Birthday No..
61 , I worry more about dressing like an ”old lady”.
I’m aware that many clothing choices that look normal to me look old fashioned to my daughters.
It was ages before I realised my jeans were the “Wrong” length for example.
Is there anyone here with a keener fashion sense than mine who has a list of no-go looks that scream “EIGHTIES”?

Way to go BradfordLass your outfit sounds individual.

I pick ‘ my’ colours for each season, my autumn/winter colours are purple or lavender + green.

I only buy a few choice items a season, mix and match expensive with inexpensive

Hi Sara65! Another Sahara fan here although I buy in the sales if I can. I have to be quick off the mark as the larger sizes go first. The clothes last though so I find the investment worthwhile. Love the linen/cotton mixed in hot weather.

I agree, look out for their 20% off days
