    I don't wear active wear or workout clothes because I don't have a young, slim figure. But at age 63, I prefer to wear comfortable tee shirts and casual pants (not denim jeans or leggings) instead of dresses and skirts. I never worry about what others think of what I wear. My parents taught me to dress modestly, wear clean clothes that fit well, and dress "appropriately for the occasion".

    • @karenokeane6461
      @karenokeane6461 Před 14 dny

      @@floyarde7653 I agree completely. Too many women are stuck in the image that Leggings = Athleisure......which we all know was THE trend for several years before and peaking during global lockdown---until being beaten to a pulp when restrictions began to ease. For me anyway, they've morphed from "the latest thing' to wardrobe basic---especially during the cold weather months...WHEN STYLED CORRECTLY. IF they are WELL made and WELL fitting, they truly do flatter all body shapes. A lot of women simply aren't comfortable wearing them, which is fine. The Leggings trend was SO over-done, for such a long time. I mean, in every goofy print imaginable--from puppies to donuts to unicorns; you name it, it was featured on leggings, and displayed for all the world to see. And in such cheap, unsubstantial fabrics too. No wonder chic Vloggers like MarieAnne debunk them 'across the board'. Discernment is key for this type of clothing. But they will always have a place, if they are of high quality and properly fit the wearer. Just my two cents. :)

    I teach and take ballet classes so I sometimes wear leggings for those activities but wear a top that covers hips and derrière. Typically an oversized button down. Once class is over, this outfit gets exchanged for a dress or a pair of jeans. I try to adhere to “there is a time and a place for everything “. I live in the southern US so it gets extremely hot and humid in the summer. Loose fitting dresses are not only more attractive but also much more comfortable. Great comparison video and such a lovely dress you used to illustrate your point 💙

I do like my sundresses when there's nothing messy to do when hot out. Got a hat addiction now since light sensitive. Some cute ones. Sometimes light can trigger a migraine, vertigo or mini seizure.

      I have newly spotted online that women are wearing transparent dresses without a bra and with Tangas only. It may be a designed dress as well but even on a gorgeous bodies it's impression is cheap, very cheap and disgusting. There are so many ways to expose bodies or body parts with descent dresses and outfits. What is too much is too much. It may grab the male attention, but Noone of the men was asked what do they truly mean if it. Being sexy and descent means not to be cheap dressed and looking disgusting. It is not a comparison to outfits they are with too much bling or not fitted makeup. It is unpropriate too but far less than being fast naked.

    I was uncomfortable wearing leggings, a sports bra, and a hoodie in my early 20s and never did. For comfort, I buy stretch jeans and finished t-shirts that have finishes like puffy sleeves, lace, or embroidery. Lately, for lounging at home, I bought black wide-leg sweatpants from Victoria's Secret and wore them with a solid black v-neck t-shirt. I feel dressed and comfortable, but I would never wear those out in public. The daughter-in-law and her teenage daughter like to wear in public leggings, hoodies, crocs, and t-shirts, and I do not think I have ever seen them in anything different except at the wedding ceremony when she married my stepson.

It's the same as wearing leotards/pantyhose/tights without the foot (footless). Often they are overweight too. It's the fashion industry-the owners of the stores and items that pushed this look.

    I feel comfortable in athleisure---the sports bra and leggings AT HOME. I both work and exercise from home. This is my "'uniform" most days. It took awhile, but am now comfortable with my body in this type of wear, because II follow a fitness lifestyle, and am happy with the results. BUT when/if I have an errand to run, I swap out the leggings for nice jeans or a sundress this time of year. I am of the belief that WELL-made, WELL fitting leggings in a SOLID color (no prints!) will always double as a go-to layering piece during the cooler months, though---and save 'tights' only for when I'm wearing some kind of skirt or dress during Fall/Winter. For me, this helps justify the legging's initial cost---the 'good' brands don't look or feel cheap, and when its cold they can easily do 'double duty' as part of a chic casual ensemble IF styled correctly. :)

      Investigate some dietary changes and get some organic apple cider vinegar, the cloudy kind. I was skeptical at first but it really works. That bloat is a sign your liver isn't doing it's best work. Nothing to panic about...yet. I was having the same problem. If you can't handle a tablespoon of vinegar straight, eat a lot of fermented veggies and Greek yougurt, not necessarily together. It's been a game changer for me. It's already hot where I live so I've been making a lot of cole slaw. The cabbage is super healthy as are the carrots. I found olive oil mayo! It's what I eat most days. There's a problem with lettuce here, I don't need to go into. I love salad but uh,no, just NO! I'm not in the US.

      Sorry to know about that. Getting checked by a gastroenterologist and find out about your liver condition as well as your blood sugar levels is recommended. Most health problems start in the gut and the liver is the only organ that can regenerate and heal following a proper diet, usually a low carbs, no sugar, no ultra processed/junk foods diet. Consulting a dietitian/nutritionist is also helpful because it's a matter of health more than aesthetics. Marie-Anne also has videos on how to style and "hide" a big tummy that are helpful. Take good care.

      @@smeag9280 you're most welcome and you're doing good. Broccoli is amazing. That's why a gastroenterologist was mentioned because having a big belly might indicate a fatty liver, if so don't panic as it can be fixed by a clean and consistent healthy diet but it takes time. Many doctors may seem "clueless" or "lazy" nowadays. Pasteurised fruit juices and pops are just "liquid sugar", it's much better drinking water and eat some fruit. "Vegetable" oils are highly inflammatory, extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil or pure butter is better. Replacing ice cream for natural yogurt or kefir is the best, your gut will love it. You deserve wellness, please take good care 🙏🏻🌷

    I learned to dress properly from my Mom who was an actress and always wore chic and fashionable clothes based on what the occasion called for. As a young teen I had a French saleslady ( clothes were not hanging on racks, but brought into a dressing room) that picked out all of my dresses for dances , formals, etc. Her taste and sense of fashion was individualized by one’s height, weight, and age and even your personality. Less was more and usually only one embellishment was allowed. Of course we all wore the latest fad for casual wear but dressed up for those special occasions. Marie-Anne, you should teach a course to young girls on the proper attire while they’re still open to fresh new ideas, similar to a Home Economics class.
