Default [OT] Age Appropriate Dress?

I'm watching "The View" and one of their "hot topics" was whether women
should stop wearing certain types of clothing as they get older (the example
used was women who were over 40 shouldn't wear "Juicies" work-out clothes.
Someone said that *nobody* should wear sleeveless blouses or dresses if they
have flabby upper arms (here in Houston where it sometimes gets to be 115F
with 2000% humidity this flabby-upper-armed MaMere *really* objects to that
objection!).

What do you guys think? Should you not wear a mini skirt - even if you have
killer legs - past a certain age?

People should be able to wear what they like, though as they get older it's
preferable they wear something. ;-)

That's how I feel - if people don't like what you're wearing they should
look the other way! I've seen people of all ages wearing wildly
"inappropriate" clothing, but didn't feel it was my business to point it out
to them.

Could wrinkles be classed as 'something' ? ;-)

There are far too many people telling others what to do. People should be
able to wear what they feel comfortable in and what is appropriate for the
occasion. While I may not enjoy seeing rolls of fat over waistbands, it does
me no harm,so I consider it to be MY problem, not that of the person I am
looking at. I am far from perfect and have no reason to expect perfection of
others.

Bravo, Sandra. =o)

I say, if a person has good legs and a good figure and feels confident
enough, the miniskirt is up to them, even if they're 75, if it's
appropriate for the occasion. There is the concept of "mutton dressed
as lamb" but if a person wants to make themselves look ridiculous,
they're the ones who will have to live with the embarrassment, not me.
Self-confidence and a good figure will allow some people to carry off
an outfit that might really look horrible on another person. For formal
wear, I'd say, leave the miniskirt at home. I personally would not
inflict me in a mini skirt on any other living creature, but that's
just me. When it's ninety in the shade, I'm darned well going to wear
shorts and short sleeves around my home, and anyone who objects is out
of luck.

I certainly wouldn't want Tina Turner to wear 'granny clothes'. That woman
is *hot* and I say so from a strictly hetero viewpoint. If I looked *half*
as good as she does at her age I'd think I was doing really well (heck,
looking half as good as her *now* would be an improvement)

Hey, if we had a staff of hair dressers, dressers and make-up artists
following us around making sure we look glam, and a publicist who made
sure only our most flattering photos got published, we'd ALL look
fabulous. =o) It's just a tragedy that most women are woefully
understaffed in that regard. Although I think I'd get REALLY tired of
all that attention, after a while. Sometimes I just want to stick
something on, wash my face brush my teeth and hair and go "as is."

But I agree, Tina Turner does not belong in shapeless clothes, granny
glasses and a rocking chair. She's got it, she's entitled to flaunt it,
as far as I'm concerned.
