Re: THE fashion forward look for those OVER fifty in winter? Spotted in ny!
Lulu - take no notice of these elderly unfashionistas. You're fully entitled to your view and your interest in life.I'm 70 and still interested in fashion and still buy stylish - not necessarily the latest fashion - clothes, which these days don't have to be expensive. I had to "dress up" for my job all my life and I guess it stays with you. I like to see older people stylishly dressed - I think it demonstrates a continuing interest in the new which is good for you.

Lulu I am nearly 70 and I still go out looking good. I wouldn't be seen dead in Jeans or looking untidy. Being retired its one thing you have time to do - get yourself ready - so love having my trendy clothes on. I wouldn't wear anything short nowadays as my legs are not as good as they were but have some lovely tops and skirts. I find I don't feel comfortable in dresses nowadays. I couldn't see a photo on your post though unless I am going blind

Of course Lulu in entitled to her view, nobody has suggested otherwise Jaywalker.
As far as having a "continuing interest in the new"? You can still be interested "in the new" as you call it without it having to refer to clothes. For example I love books, so I am interested in new books written. and I'm am interested in the newest developments in dog diets, or varieties of roses and other shrubs being bred each year. See what I mean? Just because I have not the slightest interest in high fashion, doesn't mean I have no "continuing interest in the new".
Each to their own, and that's the way it needs to be.

Re: THE fashion forward look for those OVER fifty in winter? Spotted in ny!
I have never been interested in fashion - I've always seen it as something for those who can't decide for themselves. In fact, as a teenager and to this very day, I tend to not buy certain types of clothing simply because it's been deemed as fashionable and I can't bear the thought of being a sheep.I've always bought what suits me and what flatters me. Never had any complaints about my appearance either. When maxi skirts were the fashion, I wore mini skirts. When mini skirts came back, I wore maxi skirts.
I love jeans if they are teamed with a good jacket and boots - jeans can be dressed up or down.
Fashion slave? No, I prefer to look as good as I can and fashion doesn't always do that for women.

I too was never a fashionista - preferring comfort to fashion. I dress to be comfortable.
