Re: Fashion for woman 50+
Jeans, T-shirts, sweaters for me. When I last worked in management I didn't have trouble finding skirts, jackets and blouses that were fine for "business casual". We used to have a Marks & Spencer in the mall but no longer. I liked Cleo, which caters to the 30+ crowd I guess. Well-made clothes that fit nicely, moderately priced. Sears had some good choices too.What's age got to do with dressing as you like? My mom (age 84) still shops for her own clothes - takes the mobility van from the long-term care home to the mall. She has knits, casual outfits, silky blouses to wear with matching skirts for a dressier look, or she mixes and matches with solid colour pants. She just bought herself a very smart cotton sweater that a lot of 20 yrs olds would wear.

I agree with everything you say

Re: Fashion for woman 50+
I don't have any issues with fashion either, but I do think ladies should dress according to their size, not their age.I'm a size 10 (real size 10, not M&S or Matalan version in which I have to buy size 8) but I'm also 62, so these days I wouldn't wear a dress or skirt above the knee, although I could get away with that in my 50s, but not now.
Because I work in an office, obviously I have to dress accordingly.
I have a wardrobe full of fashionable clothes, suited to my size and age, which are far from frumpy but, if I'm honest, I prefer to be clad from neck to toe these days.

Re: Fashion for woman 50+
I don't like to see anyone dressed in clothes that are 2 sizes too small! I like to wear clothes that are an easy fit because you tend to put on a few pounds during the day and there's nothing worse than unsightly bulges. I don't want to go around showing any hint of chesticles either so I'm all for a cover up job!

Re: Fashion for woman 50+
Not exactly 'fashion' but I did write to M&S some years ago about 'big knickers' when they were in their catering to the waif faze and seemed to stock only G strings and bits of lace masquerading as knickers
. I told them we don't all want to look like glamour models, some of us wear knickers too keep warm.
Likewise 'nightshirt' T shirts, they had some lovely ones with Owls on the front and I would have loved one but they barely covered my bottom .
This was at a time when M&S had lost their way somewhat. They went on to re evaluate, changed their stock and introduced new ranges.

Tis easy to buy clothes today whatever your age or size gone are the dark ages when you had to act or dress your age. Come to think of it I haven't heard say 'Mutton dressed as lamb' the very concept is old hat.
The Internet is out there so I buy trousers from America and tops from India never been better off for choices.
