Accidently read fashion rules for women over 35. I don't see the logic of telling fit women they can't wear stuff bc of their age?

I never read fashion columns bc I find them obnoxious. I was actually looking up information on how to care for a bird you find on your door step. I really have no idea why fashion advice would be right below it-- maybe bc they assume only women over 35 would care to take in a list animal. Do.

anyhiw I know a lot of women over 35 with much better bodies than twenty year olds. Being young diesnt make everything look good on you. If you're five eight and 100 pounds I don't see why you can't wear low rise jeans or Minnie skirts. I get why you wouldn't want to wear really obnoxious clothing like glitter and bunny barrettes ands and shirts that say dumb things-- but this style has always shaded me even for young people. So I wouldn't say you're too old for that I'd just say it isn't becoming period.

Anyhow obviously people should dress as they want to and I'm sure most do. I just wondered about the logic of dressing by she instead of by what fits well.

Women fashion advice is just really obnoxious and condescending as it but telling someone they can't dress how they like to dress bc they are trying too hard is just too much. There's is the very likely possibility it's simply how they like to dress. I don't intend to start wearing body suits under my lighting when I'm 35 and I won't wear tights in summer and I don't see myself ever wearing high cut ( on hop) jeans. Bc they are odd looking.

I just turned 29.
And I was told by my man, that I should start dressing a certain way when I'm 30.
It kind of sucks because I have such a young looking body and youthful face that no one believes I have a kid.

I even tried looking through the older women section, for catered to women in mid 30s-40s.
And sorry, it looks like old lady clothes.
I can't see myself wearing that :(

Why must I conform to society? :(

Well... he says he likes what I wear... but its TOO hot and SEXY. I should be for modest when I'm over 30.

And keep in mind, I wear clothing that covers myself at times (but looks trendy and stylish). But I like to show off my assets at times.

Since I turned 23 (he has been telling me this actually) because that's when I became a Mom.

I think it's just wrong to " tell" an adult how they should dress... that gets left behind in childhood. Funny bc it's a stereotype that women are always trying to tell men what to wear but I o lot ever actually hear men doing this irl.

I think you should wear what you want if you want to tone it dine go ahead but bc you want to not bc someone tells you to.

[Stacyzee]

That's so true!

Don't be me wrong!

I only think choice of clothing looks wrong if someone dresses too young for their age.
Like a 50 year old... wearing what a 20 year old should.
But if you look young, and still got it, why not?

If you have a kid and you are wearing low rise jeans and tight shirts and such no matter your age, i think that isn inappropriate. Just wear things that people any age can wear, like mid rise jeans, or else cute high rise like from Urban Outfitters, and normal fit tops. Nothing too tight. Be more casual. You won't look older, you will look more classy.

I think it's about wearing things that flatter you and your body, or dressing classy and age-appropriate :) I get what you mean, people should be able to wear whatever they want, but I think with those types of articles it's kind of like table manners. You don't have to have them, you can eat and act however you want but ultimately a lot more people will respect you if you have them.

[Asker]

It's not just wearing what you want. I was also pointing out you can have a good body over 35. The rules seem geared towards the assumption you won't. And I don't think being " rude" is good at any age so it's not a great analogy.

[JacquelineBuan]

oh, like the guide focuses on how to dress thicker figures?

[Mesonfielde]

People should just wear what they think looks good on them. Or someone they trust and has a sense of color and fashion thinks looks good on them.

5'8" 100lbs is way 2 skinny actually...

anyway, yeah... sure they can wear woteve they want... many 35 yo gals look hot 8)

I wouldn't wear low rise jeans past the age of twenty. Actually, i wouldn't wear low rise jeans ever. But a thirty year old wearing them would be bad. Especially now they aren't popular. Also things like low rise yoga pants are not Ok for thirty. Its not because of your body, its because its kinda tacky anyhow.

Yea, they make me pretty sick too. I don't see men's magazines telling them what they should wear when they're older/younger. No ones told me what to wear since I was 4 and I intend to keep it that way. ✌

Don't listen to those...
