Spot on Marie Anne. I am ten years older than you and I feel that I have finally found my style. I love tailored pieces - frills and flounces are just not me. I have more time now than when my children were small and can really enjoy dressing nicely - even if I'm only going shopping! It's never too late to look great 😊

@manonsinclairladyofblairad9675 3 года назад

Yesterday, I saw a woman in her 50s who looked great. She was wearing jeans, a red and white striped top with a small dangly earring (hair was casually up), an oversized cardigan in a neutral buff colour, carrying a straw bag. Laced up shoes....like a trainer/chunky converse. She had got it spot on, just going food shopping in M&S. Her car was a little fun fiat. She was so natural but very well put together and had a quiet confidence. I love that. Very inspiring.....just like your videos.

Men know exactly what you're doing, and know you are quite aware that your boobs are hanging out and all you succeed in doing is losing their respect. In my world, respect is EVERYTHING!

Or crazy, like Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.

@starrbowie8649 Год назад

@@daffidalswuli Thrift stores feature so-called "second-hand" clothes that are more often than not brand-new. People buy clothes, put in closet, and by the time they notice them again they have put on too much weight or lost too much to fit well into the clothes. Sometimes the clothing donated was an unwelcome gift and so was never worn. Very often, depending on how close you are to cities, thrift stores are given whole lots of items from high-end stores who want to clear out unsold clothing to make room in stores for the new season's inventory. Many pieces donated are classic enough in style so that they are never out of style and can be tweaked in many ways. Often clothes that have been lightly worn by the original owner are very well-made and show no signs of wear like scuffed collars or cuffs, loosened seams, slight tears, spotting, or even pale ring around the collar. Many readers are well aware of the once-expensive treasures at a good thrift (regionals usually have the most selections), so I am just trying to share goods news with those who may feel a bit squeamish about seeking bargains where they incorrectly assume the clothing will not be of good quality to begin with and may show visible signs of wear.

@24Jeeya 3 года назад

Hello Vickie May I suggest sillhouettes that suit you, going for things you like and enjoy. My Mom rocks her style which is mainly nicely fitted trousers and blouses or tunics with long cardigans. She loves jewelry so that takes centre-stage. As for make up, she got subtler as the years have gone by. Ma always shops in pairs. If she finds a pair of trousers she likes will immediately look for a coordinating top - blouse or cardigan. Hope that helps.

Hello Marie-Anne, My Hungarian mother was an elegant chic lady. From her I learned the style of dressing simply, having less clothes but loving and wearing what you have. My mother encouraged me to attend Fashion School which was a an extensive 4 year program. I had European teachers and I learned that simplicity is the best way to look chic. I love watching your tutorials.

@frenchstyle7038 3 года назад

Thank you for this video Marie-Anne! I could not agree more with all the mistakes you mentioned, especially looking overly sexy. I think it looks vulgar at any age. I find that I look sexier and more confident now that I am 55 than I ever did. I too love to pair my tweed blazers with jeans, that's one of my favorite combinations. Nothing looks more desperate than a woman trying to look 20 years younger. It's not always easy to grow old as our body goes through so many changes and we have to adjust our style along the way.

@tinalettieri Год назад

I will be 77 in September. Men still notice and it's because I am confident. Last year I was wearing a pair of indian silk print trousers. They were very beautiful full, not "sexy" and a strange man complimented me on them in a store! I never wore them again. I don't need strange men noticing my trousers. Especially in the Middle East where I live. But if they notice my overall look and are appropriate, bring it on. I'm single. ☺

@tinalettieri Год назад

I'm actually in Israel and "classic" isn't really a big style here. Most women go for trends even older ones and I could do a whole sociological study on why but it's irrelevant. Clothes are expensive too although there are some coming in from Italy that are reasonably priced like the linen dress I bought the other day for 50€. It's very simple. It does have a handkerchief hem but the highest part is just below my knees so I can have it modified if I want. I'm an artist so my "style" can be a bit varied. When I went into the store where I got the dress and which is owned by a French woman, btw, I had on a madras patchwork maxi skirt and a plain linen top. And we sort of joked about my preference for variety. I actually got that outfit in Italy a couple of years ago, but it's fine for going out doing errands in the morning. When I go to church I dress more elegantly. I never, ever wear trousers let alone jeans and my hemlines vary but I try to keep it simple. Not easy here.

@vicwil2423 3 года назад

Comme d’habitude, de bons conseils. I would add that a well-tailored tweed skirt, which is something that can be stylish for a long time, can be “modernized” with a silk top or cashmere sweater, and shoes with a bit of a heel. As for not following trends religiously, a small accessory in the “in” colour of the year can keep an outfit looking current. For example, I own - and wear - some quality pieces of jewellery, but if the season’s colour is something that doesn’t really suit me (e.g. tangerine, khaki, yellow, etc.) some inexpensive costume jewellery or an inexpensive scarf with those colours can keep the look fresh. And then I can donate it to charity.

As an American woman over 50, I think the most common style boo-boos for women in my age group are: 1) dressing too young/skimpy, 2) wearing clothes that are way too small for their bodies, 3) not ironing/steaming, and 4) just plain giving up by wearing baggy loungewear and ratty sneakers everywhere. I’d rather wear my joggers and tees in nice silk versions, with a blazer and low heels, it’s just as comfy, but not sloppy. No: cutoffs/short shorts, bra tops or very cropped tops, too-girlish clothes, ever, these are teenager styles. Floral rompers are for little girls! Wear a sophisticated jumpsuit instead.

💯% with you on silky joggers, but prefer to pair w/silky button down shirt as a topper to a soft t-shirt or tank. Mixes "biz w/pleasure" to create an elegant casual feel. ❤️Blazers, but the latter tends to be too hot🔥 for my comfort unless planning to be indoors w/central air ❄️. 😍Every fiber of my preppy roots thrill @ the textures, layers, colors, & classic silhouette of the "dark academia aesthetic." In fact, it's giving me fresh inspo to revive my closet full of beloved suits & corp gear. While I fully embrace a subtle, sexy librarian look 📚 our🌡️sizzling ☀️LA climate is a buzz kill. 🤔Marie-Anne is right about pairing modern fashion pieces w/classic pieces to inject vitality. 📸 British Fashionista Trinny Woodall manages to mix athleisure in a bright, bold, high-end glamour way🤩. 😊Quite content to do my more muted version of casual glamour in simple gray, black, or navy. Sporty casual in light, softly draping, breathable fabrics has always resonated with me & suits my figure⏳. 🥰Love athleisure, but not talking utilitarian gym gear 🏃‍♀️. 🚫 Leggings. Haven't even owned jeans👖 for well over a decade. 🥵Simply too hot & constricting for me. 😉 Actually enjoy seeing ladies in hip boho chic, prairie style, or charming cottage clothing.🌹Wore more simple romantic tea dresses in the 90s, but that ship ⛵ has sailed for me. Feel silly in them now😖, but feel they can still be flattering on others. 🚫Ultra fussy feminine♀️ (or extreme ♂️ masculine) fashion detailing in any form has NEVER worked me😱.

I’m guilty of the “feast or famine” mentality, some days I make no effort at all. I’m trying to get into an everyday, minimal effort routine, some blush, concealer and mascara, doing something easy with my hair, wearing a necklace or earrings, etc. I got lazy during lockdown. Now we’re in the most critical drought ever, I’m trying to stretch an extra day out of each shampoo and styling, and severely limit laundry (and outdoor watering, but that’s not style-related, of course), my biggest water usage categories, it’s tough. I air everything in front of a fan after wearing, after inspecting for dirt/stains, of course, or steam it, then wear it as long as I can. I have to batch my different colors for ages to get full washer loads, but have enough to manage, except for undies and nighties, I have to do a load of those every week or 10 days. No more of my beloved extra rinses, the situation is dire, our reservoirs are mud holes and cities are full of wildlife desperate for water, and it’s only July, first chance of rain is November.

@annewest-ellmers1807 3 года назад

Don't apologize, Kimberly. You made some valid points about the conservation of our world's natural resources. I think that it ties in to our need to curate our wardrobes and rail against "fast fashion" and other wasteful habits.

@karenoconnell 3 года назад

I think we must live in the same general area. I totally understand your sentiment!

@Karen-ve6ds 3 года назад

Not off topic at all. That situation is bound to have an effect on your morale and therefore what you decide to wear. I am sorry to learn this is happening in your part of the world.

I bought extra undies and nighties so I could wash clothes less often. I also discovered I could shampoo and rinse just once, no repeat. My hair likes it.

Hi Marie- Anne, I’m happy to say I now wearing red lipstick after watching you for the first time and I’m happy to say wearing red lipstick built my confidence I never wear read lipstick together with changing the way I dress myself. I feel like a new person 😊thank you❤

Thank you so much for your advice, I really needed to hear your take on style for women over 50. I have just turned 66 and I love having someone voice so many of the same ideas and goals that I embrace. Much, much appreciated. God bless

@SunnyDazeNZ 3 года назад

Very encouraging video Marie-Anne. Thank you so much. When browsing for clothes I often think “would a chic French woman wear this?” Often the answer is - no!! Lucky I prefer a classic look - at one count I had nearly a dozen striped tees 🤣

One of the finest tips I have learned from you is quality not quantity. With age I have (gratefully) acquired patience and will save to be able to purchase one or two excellent pieces rather than a closet full of cheap articles. Timeless pieces are so much better than fad fashion. Merci beaucoup 🇫🇷

What we all need to aim for as women I believe, is to be the "Best possible version of ourselves!" Confidence does play a large part in your appearance and attractive clothes really do help boost your confidence. Thank goodness Marie-Anne that we mature ladies have such a confident and assertive guide in our times of personal confusion!

thank you Marie-Anne for being the fashion voice of reason. :-) As a "woman of a certain age," I tend to struggle with being a "dedicated follower of fashion" vs dressing for my age or my body type. I would love to dress more French, or work with a "capsule wardrobe," but _mon dieu!_ I'm quite clothes horse, so it's a struggle!

I only just found your channel and subscribed! This is so true. I believe that since I still at 63 have a good shape ( because I work at it! ) I was dressing too young. So now, I am enjoying buying classic pieces, not overdoing that either. So it's great to hear it from you. You make so much sense!

I've been working on my style thanks to your videos. I watched you for months and months before starting to do anything about it. I had gained weight and developed the habit of just wearing leggings or jeans with baggy top unless I had date or speaking engagement. I didn't want to buy new clothes until I lost the weight but in doing so I looked not my best at all. I am so grateful for your videos. I'm also thankful for your courses and your style subscription. I love your Style Journal and the book I ordered called How to Be Chic & Elegant. Thank you Marie-Anne!!!!
