You are right, however if your legs are full of veins, your stomach is fluffy and your arms are saggy, no one wants to see that! 😂 I say, use your common sense and realize you aren't twenty any more, so dress classy not trendy. You don't have to look frumpy just because you are older, just don't try to look like a teenager. We have all seen the women who are trying to hang onto their youth by dressing in fads designed for teens and young adults. It is embarrassing and sad. So much more attractive to age gracefully and look stunning. Think Jackie O or Grace Kelly, they maintained their elegance as they aged. 😊
Totally AGREE 💯 especially if you look much younger like myself. It helps if you are fit too. I wouldn’t go out in a miniskirt past 50 or a crop top but skinny jeans SURE !! I’ve never had plastic surgery and no one believes my age man or woman.
Beth, you are rock in’ RED!!!! Amazing color on you. I remember seeing you perhaps a year or more before in an orange dress! That looked great on you. Thanks for always sharing great ideas …
I always go through my closet each year and try on all of my clothes. As I age, (I am 67) I often notice that an item I once loved on myself does not look flattering on me. It could be the color or silhouette. That item will go into my pile of clothes to donate or sell. I gave up wearing heels over 10 years ago. I love loafers and ballet flats because they are stylish and comfortable. I will only purchase sandals with an arch support. Thank you Beth, for reminding us to dress in a way that provides us with confidence. Yes to shorts!
I’m a retired nurse and I can’t forget what one of the doctors told us about those tight low rise jeans. He said some people looked like a popped can of biscuits.. 😂 I think I need to pass on some high heels in my closet as I have arthritis in my feet. Time goes by way too fast,
I always love your suggestions. UGH the dreaded muffin top! Fashion for me has really changed.Im at the point where I dont like anything binding or uncomfortable. Being stylish yet comfy has been my challenge. I love all of your outfits in this video. Great job!
Your absolutely spot on with your honest and very helpful advice it’s so refreshing to watch your wonderful videos,I’ve subscribed some time ago and to be honest I haven’t looked back my mind is now open for change and I’m reaping the rewards with a boost in confidence. Eva from Scotland
I just found your channel and I’m so thankful. I’m 62 and love to travel. You have lovely information we need around our age and really any age. You are so elegant and classy. I really enjoy your videos ❤
Absolutely agree with your style ideas colour co-ordination. Shapewear makes me feel like a new woman! And also a great haircut. I keep a wish list now for clothes to look for in sales and replace items that are past it. Thank you so much for your channel makes so much sense.
The red shirt really looks lovely on you. I have a pair of Gingiberri earrings and they are beautiful. I remember the short shorts song and I laugh every time. 😊
Your video was filled with great ideas! I’m 81 & need to discard some of my clothes. You look amazing; thanks for guiding us to dress more beautifully 🥰
I agree with most of your style and advice. I see so many beautiful older women badly dressed. My only comment is that you really appear to be taller and so look great in wider-legged pants but for those of us below 5”3” they make us look short and stubby especially if we are an apple shape and carrying a little extra weight. I personally would never tuck in my shirts as I have the aforementioned apple belly but find tunics too long. It’s quite a challenge to look elegant in a short, rounder body but your advice is always good.
I'm 5'2" and I wear wide leg linen or cotton pants. I love them. They're cool and breezy in summer and I don't feel they overwhelm my frame at all. If you find a tunic you love that's too long for you you could always take it to a tailor to be altered. I personally don't like tunic tops as they're not good for my proportions.
I think you wear whatever you find comfortable-no judgement. But I wonder if you are slim which really helps when wearing wider pants. I’m carrying extra weight around my middle which adds width and makes my legs look like tree trunks in wider pants as they hang from my widest point. I don’t think leggings are necessarily the only alternative. A great straight leg or trouser are very nice-I’m just observing how Beth looks wonderful as she is taller and can carry an elegant look easier than my short, apple body.
I’m a curvy 5’2’. Turtlenecks are a no-no. When I saw a snapshot of me in a turtleneck, it looked as if I had a pumpkin resting between my shoulders. My neck completely vanished! Lower necklines such as V necklines, U necklines or square necklines solve the problem. I avoid ballet flats. They always gap when walking and I feel like a penguin. Shoes with two inch heels are best.
Not sorry to see skinny jeans disappear, I never liked them but for a time it was difficult to find other styles of jeans, the selections were limited. That is changing, which makes me very happy. In defense of low rise slacks, my waist size is out of proportion with my other measurements, so high waist pants that fit me properly in the waist are baggy in the hips & legs. I don’t wear ultra low rise but I avoid high waist pants. Thank you for sharing this, very interesting & thought provoking! I’m happy to say I won’t need to revamp my closet!
Love your red shirt….yes i definitely revamp my wardrobe yearly…and get rid of anything that I don’t love on me….even if I used to like it on me…things just change….
Great tips! I especially like going up a size in a quality button down. Especially in a bold color. I have a linen one in Persian Blue ~ always get compliments!!
Thank you for your tips. I am 71 but still enjoy wearing the same style I wore when I was younger. That being jeans, t-shirts, blouses, knee length skirts and dresses. Sometimes I struggle with what to wear. I feel like I may be stuck in a time zone but I don't want to look frumpy.
I am 71 and was so glad when high waist pants returned to the fashion scene. I have a pronounced sway back and can’t even comfortably wear mid rise pants. They ride up in the back and dip too low in the front. Not looking forward to the day when I can’t get high waists again. Which is why sewing comes to my rescue more often than not. I can make what suits me and not what fashion says I must wear. And after all isn’t that what style is, knowing what looks best on you no matter what the trends. 😉
Excellent tips and totally agree! I have a question regarding the LTK Conference in Dallas-is there a RU-vid Fan meet & greet or something similar? I’m in Dallas and it would be so fun to see my faves in person ❤
RU-vid always has a big presence at VidCon every year. That would be your best bet. But LTK doesn't segment by each social channel. It's a conference for their top earners. Hope this helps!
I'm glad you spoke too about the importance of good lingerie, a lady mentioned to me about "biker short" for skirts and dresses, whiich I love! Yet, in my teens and twenties... I owned full and half slips☺️. -💚*🙏🏽
I’m 68 I wear jeans all the time , I wear kitten heels too. I love classy looks , I do not own sneakers, never have to me people look sloppy and never helps a look use ballerina shoes.
Thank you ,Beth... of course there are exceptions...some ladies over fifty may ,due to wise lifestyle choices and genes, look better than younger women...😊 But some others i find are cleavage, wigs/hairdos, jewelry...
Thank you for such an informative post. Was nevér into most of these styles. Not giving up my slightly distressed skinny jeans. The holes in the knee make jeans wearable with sensitive scars and knee replacements! Skip the short shorts, mini skirts, crop tops, low rise pants and heels. The bra fitting info needs to be in a PSA. 80% of women are wearing the wrong size.
Sorry, but I don't agree with some of this, you have not put any photos of yourself before and you have used extremes of fashion. I wear crop tops with high-waist jeans, for example, and flowing tops make me look all baggy and old. I'm 74 by the way
I agree completely on the logos. One looks like a walking billboard. Why should I pay LVMH to advertise for them? They can pay me. (Personally, I don't like any logo one doesn't have to squint to see, but that's just me.) Also, I love seeing your dog do cameo appearances.
Awww, that's too bad. Button down shirts are a classic for a reason, but not all women love classic style which I'm guessing is you. And Mom jeans? I wear lots of silhouettes so not sure which ones those are? But, hey, thanks for stopping by!
Beth looks like a walking ad for women of a certain age with no personal style. Hello Chicos and Talbots. Her style screams I’m way over 50. She has a following, there are a lot of women out there that actually look just like her, way past middle age and boring. 🤷🏻♀️ Who knew you could cash in on that!
I can't agree on your choice of shoes, as long as I'm comfortable in my 3"-4" heels I'm going to keep stepping , flats with a business suit or dress doesn't look that great, and remember I said comfortable I love wearing my top tugged inside and adding a stylish blazer or cardigan ,The sweater hanging over the shoulders really tells your age .I've never liked that style
High heels??? No! I'm not getting rid of mine. As long as I can wear them comfortably, I'm wearing them. I've spent a lot of money on my shoes!!! And the height elongates the body and makes anyone look thinner and more feminine.
Style is always about personal preference. If you don't feel comfortable wearing shorts then don't. But other women feel great donning a pair of shorts.
My husband used to say “no one should wear their shorts shorter than their vagina”. I’m in Florida and I see this all the time. I wonder why parents don’t tell their daughters not to wear them that short.
Ladies forget all those "flip flop", thong, etc. (style very flat, its not only ugly, but very bad for your feet, you are going to look bad in those and make sure to do a pedicure before. Wear them at the beach only). They are the worst sandals for your feet. Wear something with at least 3 inches heel, your feet will thank you. Very flat sandals are very bad for the health of your feet. (I hade a surgery for bunions, so I know very well that subject). If you have a special event, for only few hours, yes you can wear high heels.
AT LEAST 3 inches?! Are you kidding? I am 70, with a hip prosthesis and with past surgeries for foot arthritis. I can just about cope with cowboy boots with 2 inch heels. But mostly wear trainers, or sandals with half-inch heels. And I am fit - walk, cycle, swim and do yoga. Never have pain anywhere
You have to understand that I am French and try my best to write in English. I should write maximum 3 inches for heels but not completely flat. I didn't gave medical advice here just the comments my Md gave to me. Thank you. @@mariecurie7491
Years ago I saw a woman in the airport. Every pice of clothing from her head to toes had a screaming logo. Her suitcases and purse had the same. I could see she was able to spend a lot of money on her clothing and accessories, but it wasn’t an attractive look. It looked pretty silly and not attractive. Maybe it was important to her to show how much she could spend.
Good information! However , this world is not going to dictate what I am going to wear , who I am going to vote for, my religion and etc !! That what wrong with society today , people should take care of their business and their families and leave others alone! It causes so much harm, discrimination, harmony!! Be blessed
