    Fashion Trends To Avoid If You’re Over 50 & What To Wear Instead | 2024 Fashion Trends
    If someone told me today at 57 I should dress my age, I’d struggle to not be offended. Most Gen-Xers don’t like being told what we can and can’t do. We’ve grown up breaking and remaking the rules so we’re hardly going to bow to the fashion police now right? Well, here’s the tea. Whether we like it or not the clothes we wear can make us look older than our years. While I truly believe that style should be more about listening to your inner fashionista and less about obeying outdated fashion rules, there are a few fashion “guidelines” worth taking note of to ensure your style stays modern, polished and interesting. So today I’m sharing some of the things I’m going to stop wearing in 2024 and what I’ll be wearing instead.
    Thanks so much for watching.

    At 81 I still feel I’m in my heyday. While I agree with many of your comments, it is not because of age. I love pastels and florals which I will continue to wear. Don’t be afraid of looking your age. You have earned the right to be who you are. Love your videos.

    I don’t know, I think we should wear whatever we want in our fifties & beyond. Fashion is self expression. Why limit that? Besides, the older I get, the more brave I have become with my clothing.

  • @lauraadingmburu9446

    Some of us age differently and don't look nearly our age, so this sweeping statement doesn't apply to everyone. Also pastel colours are skin tone specific. Dark skin tone look fabulous in pastel colours. Nothing to do with age.

    • @teacheschem

      @lauradingmburu9446 I agree and it depends on body shape. Skinny jeans I feel looks great on me but straight jeans, yikes…I absolutely have to wear a belt. I look so boxy. Yuck, but they look great on other body types.

  • @clarasreeram4223
    @clarasreeram4223 Před měsícem +37

    Everything you said shouldn’t wear, I do wear them and I look pretty good in them. So age has got nothing to do with our personal style. It depends on our confidence, personal style and how we carry ourselves .. I think we should stop overthinking about our age and focus on feeling comfortable and living our lives to the fullest. I am in my 50s too! I don’t follow any trends either..

      Fair enough. However, if your hair colour and skin tone changes as you age (as my mum’s has) it impacts the colours that suit you.

    I say no to low rise too! They stuck around waaaaay too long and have not been gone long enough. The higher rise has reminded me how much more comfortable jeans are when they hit at the waist… imagine that! The “waist” hitting at the waist.

    At 70, I disagree on the pastels. You are never too old to enjoy some color. I also think the opposite about florals. I do avoid large print florals, but ditsy florals work fine for me. I have seen some photos I admired recently of older ladies who stand out in their own dramatic styles. What fun! It is great to be aware of how we come across, but we should also be ourselves and not feel we have to fit in a certain box.

      I am 70 and very short and very thin. I never felt I took up enough space to pull off prints and I like solid vivid colors which I think are most flattering on my olive skin and dark hair. I am tired of skinny jeans and tired of looking at them even though they fit me well. While I need the height provided by a heel retired the stiletto with covid and will never go back. I agree with all your observations. Your programs are always well researched and presented and by the way, you look and are amazing😊

      You can do the same thing with the Band-Aid. You just cut a little piece off and stick it to the back of your earlobe, then push the earring through your ear and through the Band-Aid and it will keep your ear from sagging.

They are just a necessaary part of life. I see young girls with cellulite and curves and they’re wearing shorts and they don’t care what anyone thinks.

    Great vlog as usual, Leonie. Keep up the great work!
    I'm mid-sixties and have never been able to wear high heels, not even in my 20s. But, some friends of mine who go back to our teen years, still wear them and have commented that they will wear them until they can't wear them anymore. And they run around in high heels like Tina Turner. Try to throw out their Louboutins and other high heels and there will be a fight and one wore high heels to work daily up until retirement a few years ago and still wears them.
    As for low-rise jeans, I've never been into them at any age. But, there are a lot of folks where I live who wear them and can pull it off no matter the age. I've always preferred higher-waisted jeans cut with a very defined snatched waist. Low-rise jeans rest on the hip. Not for me.
    I don't have a problem with pastels. Plus, when it comes to colors in clothing in general, a lot depends on one's skin tone no matter what the age. Where I live there are a lot of skin tones and darker skin tones generally can pull off a wide variety of colors.
    I'm not a fan of oversized blazers, but if the blazer is belted then it can work. I like more fitted clothing in my serious clothing and I have no problem showing my shape. But, folks in my culture genearlly show one's shape no matter the age, size, or body type.
    When it comes to short shorts, I have never liked them no matter what age range I was in, so that trend never even hit my fashion radar. But, I've worn Bermuda shorts since a teen. They're supposedly on trend this season, but I've yet to come across them in stores. I want a pair of light-wash denim ones, but cut wider in the thigh than some I've seen in fashion photos where they were looking more like a short version of matador pants which is not my definition of Bermuda shorts.
    Regarding animal prints, if I live to be a hundred, I will be wearing them to the end, especially leopard prints. I have a rack of various leopard print coats/jackets and also leopard and cheetah print in footwear, skirts, and scarves.
    The wearing of floral prints depends on the floral print. I will be taking out my pink floral tissue-cotton blouse with mesh fabric on the sides, bought at Anthropologie around 4 years ago. I'll throw it on with my light-wash short denim skirt and hot pink Lexington cowboy boots by Lane. My fashion styles have always been very fluid. My fashion is like my food..... very diverse.

    I'm soo patting myself on the back right now! I'm quite over 50, and I said "No" to everything you listed -- well over a decade ago. Though I did choke on the animal print making your No list, until you elaborated that it was OK as an accent piece (shoes, boots, bag, shirt, etc.). Whew that was close! I do love my leopard print Chelsea rain boots, and my low-heel leopard pumps! I've watched your channel for quite some time and I've incorporated several of your style suggestions into my wardrobe.

    I have a collection of knee high boots that I just adore, I really only wear them with skinny jeans so my skinnies will never go anywhere.
    Skinny jeans, blazer and knee high boots is a classic look for nearly any age.

    I think skinny jeans were aging even when they were in style.
    As we get older we lose muscle and the legs get super skinny. I personally hit heavy weights to keep this from happening so my legs still look muscular and athletic but my friends legs have turned skeletal in our 50's.
    When skinny went out i was so happy i didn't have to eventually break it to them that their skinnies weren't flattering them.
    Now i have the excuse of telling them "those are out of style" which is less offensive than "you have old lady legs"😂
    Crisis averted.
    And YES you should tell your friends when they're wearing things that aren't flattering! My friends literally make me shop with them bc they know I'm the only truth teller of our group.

    Could you explain the ‘why’ of some of these points? For example the point about pastels has me thinking why? Why is it harder to wear pastel when you get older. It seems that your point to equally apply to anyone not just older people. I am careful about wearing pastels, making sure that the colour suits my skin colour and undertones, but also making sure that the cut and shape of the item is modern and doesn’t harken back to a chintzy Laura Ashley look (because that isn’t my personal style). I think the learning would be much more relevant if the why was explained, or maybe it’s just me and I don’t get the point. (Your earring point made sense because the ‘why’ was clear).

      @d: I have done similar and have also applied a product called 'rub ' n buff' (a wax finish often used on antiques etc. / source - Amazon) to tone down bright metallics plus colored nail polish is another option that I've used on buckles etc. where a small brush, is an application must. Also a clear gloss coat of the latter will brighten an other wise dull finish.

I love your style and yes I have now outgrown some of my summer styles. I love the idea of satin skirt and longer shorts for this summer. I have always loved stilettos but comfort and style can be combined. Have a fab weekend love. Your fan Debra from Mallorcaxxx Spain ❤❤❤❤

  • @jenniferlong7439

    Although I agree with some of your suggestions I feel like these are tips for everyone and unnecessary to target women over 50. We are all “aging” regardless if we’re 27 or 72. I’m just tired of being thrown into a category because I’m over 50. I love your videos I just don’t agree with the segregation.

  • @janerothrock7416
    @janerothrock7416 Před měsícem

    Yes Leonie you are so right on a lot of things in this video. I just bought a soft fabric shirt with a big floral pattern in barely there blue. I think the fabric makes it look pretty good on me. I really love barrel leg jeans and I'm short, the only problem is they are all too high rise for my torso. (higher than 10").

    Skinny jeans for me have nothing to do with age - I’m tired of seeing them! It’s nice to switch things up once in a while, unless we’re planning on wearing the exact same styles for the rest of our lives.

    I bought 2 pairs of barrell jeans from COS. Affordable and they look great. I am an hourglass, shortwaisted, 5'4" and these land just past my ankles so not too short or long and i can roll them to be more casual. I bought the off white and dark navy - arch tapered jeans. TBH I was surprised they looked so good. :)

    I recently discovered your channel and I'm loving your content. I like that you include photos of diverse models in your examples. As a short curvy 47 year old, I love my slim pants because wider (even straight-cut) pants make me look 3 apples tall and boxy. So yes, do what works for you! Also, I think this time of life is great for giving zero f*cks if others don't like your look.

    I am 100% with you in regard to skinny jeans. I wore them for many, many years and today I cannot stand them anymore. I bought some wide leg jeans and trousers recently and I feel so much more modern and cool in those...even if I am only 1,65m. The only "problem" is that I still own a lot of blazers and tops that were fine with skinny jeans but cannot be paired with wide leg trousers. Now all of that will also be "sleeping" in my dressing room for a while.

    Leonie… I’ve just into your video and about the earrings… I have now decided to go on a hunt for clip on… They are better than they used to be and I agree. I love those big floral earrings. They have nowadays but they have to be so so light! There are some brands, American brands anyway, that do sell clip on backings, which makes a huge difference. I am 60 and I have a few pair of clip on that. I love that are much easier to wear becausemy piercings are hanging a bit!

    Totally agree 👍🏽 I’m just 61 and I do have my own personal style, with wavy salt & peppery undyed hair (I liberated myself from my expensive addiction to hair colouring during all the Covid lockdowns we were subjected to here in Melbourne) my new natural hair colour means im enjoying adjusting my clothing & colour & pattern choices to reflect my own personality & new ish appearance… it’s great fun but it’s also deeply personal. I love hand knits and hand crocheted items & I love mixing pastels with brilliant brights… I’m leaving black at the back as it juts doesn’t cheer me anymore… it’s not going anywhere permanent as I never say never anymore either except perhaps to bare legs with shorty shorts 😬😬🧐❤️🙋🏻‍♀️🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘

    Hi Leonie💞, Everlane Barrel leg pants/jeans are lovely.
    Some colors come in tall which this girl with long legs loves. Also, I am a rectangle body shape and the waist fits flattering. I have both the black and bone color ways, always get so many compliments on them, so must be doing something right😊🎉 (also easy to style really)
