Wear what you like and what you feel good in should be everybody’s mantra.
I have a blue “animal” fleece Joules gilet and and animal “pack-a-Mac”
No animals were harmed in the production of either

Sorry but I think it would look awful wharever your age. But the blue one is the opposite and would look good whatever your age! smile

Who is going to judge you for what you wear indoors? grin. Take Calendargirl’s advice, add a bit of lippy and you’re good to go.

Seriously - unless you plan to team it with a pvc miniskirt and fishnets, it will look great. Even if you are planning on the miniskirt and fishnets, it’s you house, your rules. Enjoy it.

I like those Shysal soon to be 70 I love the rust one,wear it with pride,very tempted for myself.

I think they are both fab shysal. We are both the same age and I now don’t care what anyone thinks about my satirical choice.

I recently bought a long woollen patterned jacket in a local charity shop. It cost £6.00 and it is so warm. I look like a Sherpa !

I’m with you on that Marydoll 👍

It’s not possible to be too Bet Lynch.

No it will look bright and cheery, and you’ll be well covered up unlike Bet who had the goods on display!

No. You will be in fashion, it's everywhere. My friends mum had a dress on for lunch and it was zebra print. She's 87 grin

No you won’t. I can’t see any reason why you would.

Calendargirl Sun 11-Dec-22 07:41:19

Bet would be proud.

Just add a blonde wig and Christmas tree earrings, be your own woman.

Last week I bought a Next blue fleece top which has been ideal in the cold weather, worn indoors as a jumper or outdoors as a jacket. I therefore decided to order the same style in another colour. I chose the rust version, which can only be described as leopard print. At the age of 76 will I look ridiculous? Honest answers please! tchsmile
