    I think investing in really good bra, underwear, and undergarments at our age is KEY. So much of frump is due to having droopy look under your clothes. Also update your shoes and hair. Lastly - clothes MUST be tailored or FIT you properly. Frump is born out of ill-fitting clothes and when you're older you have less wiggle room to pull it off - because baggy clothes + baggy body = frump. Get your undergarments sorted stat!

    I love your style, your videos, your encouragement, and your humor! At 65, I’d lost my husband and was caring for my father, who was still stylish at 104. I’d long stopped caring about my appearance. Until my dad politely mentioned it - lol. Then I saw myself in a family photo. I was packing that extra 20 pounds from 2020, and yes, I was wearing a flowered dress I had no business wearing. The 20 pounds have gone, and I’m paying attention to my wardrobe. All I can say is what worked for me was omitting sugar and refined foods - if it came from a factory, I avoid it. It simply makes me feel unwell. Even my sinus issues are almost nonexistent now. I didn’t realize how bad I felt until I felt better. Now I like feeling better. I like looking good. I care again! Nobody is more surprised than I am - lol!

      This gives me hope for the future, for my parents and other family members,who are entering mid to late eighties and early nineties.
      A big part of my fears is that life is over at that point, and their time is rapidly coming to a close (which it could be, but it's nice to know that there is still hope.)
      Somewhere along the way we can lose our zest for life.
      Making changes to our diet can definitely help, even for a short while, while we get back on track.

      Thanks for sharing this, I am in the same boat. I live in the US but I am from Italy. I grew up just embracing a proper form, a way of respecting self and others ( fare la bella figura). Somehow, it translate to always being " overdressed" when for me it is just casual elegant comfort on a daily basis and on the proper occasion straight chic. Somehow it has become threatening to others when we are elegant ladies...I have not given in but, admittedly, it makes me feel a bit isolated.

    Very sound advice. My only quibble is that I look 100% fabulous in bright Barbie pink. Barbie pink is the epitome of overly juvenile unsophisticated color. Fuchsia, hot pink, raspberry pink, light pink, soft nude pinks, any cool pinks (coral, not so much) drops ten years from my face. I wear a simple grey skirt and a pink cashmere sweater and men young enough to be my son make passes. Red is a good "also ran" and also excites male interest (I am a widow, this is important to me). So... even though I wish dearly that my best color is unsophisticated, I wear my juvenile pinks. I wear very sophisticated colours relieved by a bright splash of a pink scarf or a pink blouse peeking out of my navy blazer. đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™€ Love your channel - keep up the good work!

But not anymore, and the skirts are getting longer, but the heels shorter haha! I didn t noticed much of the menopause luckily, but my body shape is changing, so my clothes as well. I do not care what the others think of me, but I do care how I look, just for myself. Never walked like a joke on street, never will do. My guilty pleasure is hard rock and heavy metal, I go to live gigs and rock clubs. And guess what, there I can still wear crazy things like leather skirt, high boots and leather jacket, panther print shirts plus some chains and leather wrist bands😆😛Just because nobody cares and everybody is dressed like that!

    I think the issue of bright colors is not that simple, I color bright winter and I need intense and bright colors to look good and young. When I look older and faded, it's with beige, for example. I also wear neutral, I hope I avoid completely neutral looks because it's better for me, but I'm not the only colorist who needs color. By the way, I am romantic in style (but in the most kibbe sense of romantic), with a bit of natural and a bit of classic. Fits my hourglass well too so happy

    Ive had to wear tight N95 masks and face shields since 2020 because I work in healthcare, really rough on the skin and pointless to wear make up due to the sweating. Never feel attractive at work, or motivated to look nice due to this. When I do go out I love to wear colors, or a splash of colors mixed with neutral. I think my undertone is neutral to cool. I can wear yellow and oftentimes get complimented, but anything pastel, especially mint green and I look 10 years older.

    Yep menopause, I got sick of the weight creep and decided to do something about it. Build muscle, I don't mean huge muscles but enough to protect your bones and improve your basal metabolic rate. It has taken me the better part of a year but without changing my eating habits I now have so much more energy and I can fit into all of my pre-menopause clothes. Also my BP is down, my resting heartrate is down and so is my cholesterol. If I had have been better at dieting things might have happened faster but personally, I want to enjoy a glass of wine and not cut carbs out of my diet. I agree, even though we have to get older we don't have to dress like our grandmothers did.

    Bonjour FrĂ©dĂ©rique, since I watch your videos I have regained confidence in myself. I must say I also lost some weight and feeling thinner at the waist makes a huge difference as I can tuck in now! Yeah! Btw, for me like many, it was the "white " carbs which made me feel bloated and gain weight: no more white bread (being French it's a challenge), white pasta, or white rice either. I feel better and I look better. I always had the wardrobe staples in my closet and your many videos about how to mix and match them have been so helpful ! Each time I wear one of your suggestions, I get compliments 😉, and now it's almost every day because I finally dare to wear pieces I one thought were overdressed. They're not, they're simple and classy, yet modern and they make me feel so good! Thanks again for voicing nicely the truth, and all the hard work to put up these videos. Keep them coming, je ne m'en lasse pas!

    Oh my where does one begin and where one needs to draw the line. I love color, clothes, shoes, handbags, and jewelry. Daily fashion choices can be tricky but can also be fun and liberating. I gravitate towards a classic look. Many factors from location, age, to body size and shape to finances have all impacted us all over our lifetime. I think as long as a person is comfortable in how they look they should go for it.
    I really enjoy your channel.

    Hi Frederique! I just want to say I watch you, and I love your content, even though I know and completely understand why you don’t make these kinds of videos anymore. My natural style has always been what I call “effortlessly classy & a little sexy.” I’ve always worn a lot of black, neutral colors, etc., BUT I will say that black women can get away with many things you deem “cheap” or not elegant. The bright colors, and even prints, especially African inspired prints, look amazing on dark skin, so I just wanted to mention that.
    I’m still watching your content all these years later, and using a lot of your older videos for my upcoming trip to Paris. Thank you so much for your videos!

    I ve tried colours lately cause I was always mostly on black and white and I ve noticed that brighter colors suited me more. But its just that I don't feel quite myself on them and in the end I feel good only whit beige, nude, cammel...sometimes Bordeaux..here in Italy people use a lot of color and they are masters in combining and creating perfect looks. But even if i LOVE THEM in others...i feel better the days that Im in classic tones.
    Love your ideas, you look great and you re funny. Im so happy I found you. !

    I am loving your videos â˜șïžđŸ˜. You are so funny and vibrant. I have definitely had years where I didn't try very hard on my appearance and others when I have put a bit more thought into it. This year I bought a few dresses for summer and hardly wore any shorts. I do not have a single skirt in my wardrobe at the moment. As our lifestyle changes so do our clothes and of course our bodies as well. What you might have loved as a 20 something is most likely not going to be what you love now. Keep experimenting, I recently just bought a pair of wide leg jeans, which I never thought i would do, guess what I'm really enjoying them, in fact I am wearing them right now.

    You really are my favorite French fashion blogger, you resonate positivity and sisterly vibes . You are high spirited and fun to watch. And what I like most is , that you don’t come a cross as patronizing and condescending. I’ve always had a good figure, but now and in my sixties, my figure is way better then it has ever been , I’m tall , slim with no lumps and bums to bee seen , and that’s , because when in my early phase of menopause , I started to work hard on my body through regular exercise. So , it is possible not only to keep he same figure you had in your twenties , but to have even a better one . Though, I find myself agreeing with you on almost everything, I have to disagree about your stance on the color pink , it is so refreshing , I love it and goes so well with my skin tone . I’m a grandmother of five, but on so many occasions, when I’m with my handsome son , people confuse me with his wife !! I must admit, it is such a moral booster!! The thing is , look after yourself and stay away from granny look and demeanor , and you’d be cool.

    Hi Frederique. I couldn’t agree more about tie dye. I didn’t like it in the ‘70’s and dislike it even more now, even for young women.
    As I was watching I was thinking how gorgeous that colour is in your top. It’s so flattering to your skin tone. You even mentioned skin tone. It’s so important to wear what suits us. As I’m getting older I think I suit navy more than black. I like both though and still do wear black.
    Fit is very important. I really dislike dresses that are skin tight. I don’t think having dresses hugging the backside it’s flattering but I know some people will disagree. Skimming yes, on someone with a great figure but clinging, no.
    It’s very true that a lot of fashion for women over 40 is ugly. The manufacturers use cheap fabrics too, with lot of hideous prints and styles. That’s why I stick to classic style but I’d love to have a bit more femininity without looking silly.
    Apparently I’m a romantic body type in the Kibbie method. I think anyway. It’s hard to judge. It would be great if you could do a video on personal styles. Thanks for the chat!

    There are some clothing pieces in extreme colours that look classy. I have a long hot pink tailored wool coat form Zara and it looks very chic. For me pairing a strong stand out colour with a tailored fitting is very chic. Especially if I see a woman in wiser years in a stand out colour paired nicely with neutrals I think oh this woman is a fashionista.
