Hi lovely friends. I hope you are all well. What are your own style tips or things that you think we should all stop wearing to look and feel younger? Please do share in our community below. Lots of love to you all. Deirdre. XX
Thank u so much Deirdre .
Ouch. The layered shapeless look. We’ve all been there I have a simple rule - only one loose or shapeless piece allowed at a time. If the top or sweater is oversized or chunky, wear leggings or slim pants to balance. If the pants are loose and flowey, the blouse or sweater should be more close fitting. Easy peasy, as they say🌼🌸🌺💐Happy Easter
@@alaskabarb8089 Yes, proportion is key. This is a style tip I can follow even when super busy or tired. It works every time and I feel fresh.
Smart casual ❤
50Fabulouswithm. Hello Diedre, I just stumbled upon your channel! I came in half heartedly thinking it was going to be a shaming women's choices & aging bodies. After watching a few of your presentations, I'm happy to have found you! You have wonderful ideas & suggestions and I look forward to following you! I already do alot of what you've suggested but it doesn't hurt to get any fresh ideas as we tend to get set in our ways! 😘 Thank you for your time & energy into fashion ideas for us older women! I have subscribed & am going to check out the rest of your videos! 👍💕🙂
All great tips, except wearing pointy toed shoes… At my age, 68, I have destroyed my feet by shoving them into shoes that are inappropriate for healthy feet. We continue to tell women that spiky heels and pointy toes are sexy. Sexy is not what’s on your feet, sexy is an attitude. ❤
Oh I just did a rant about that up there. If anything, pointy toes will kill your feet, and yeah I did that thing in the 70's and 80's. Now I wear shoes that are shaped like my feet. My feet love me. Pointy toed shoes also age people. Because they belong in the 80's.
I still believe you wear what you feel good in. To appease the fashion police they can’t tell you off if your happy and show it,
There's no looking pretty in pain. There's no fun to be had when in pain. I look hard for shoes that look and feel good then buy them in every color. These gems are very hard to find. Flats do not work for me or anything binding through the toes. High arches are and issue and flats provide no support for arches that desperately need support. Shoes... this is a good topic but can be a difficult one regardless of age.
Why do all the brands aimed at mature women keep trying to sell us huge, gawdy floral printed stuff in awful colours? Do they think that once we hit our 50s thats what we want to wear? I despair!
So true! XX
Right
You think *you* have problems….I’m a 50 year old Goth 🤣😳
Well said, thank you. It's even worse if you 're not a slim lady 🤦🏻♀️🙄
So don't buy them! Buy clothes aimed for younger women.
Just found your channel. I will be 81 in a couple weeks and love looking good. Thank you
Happy birthday.XX
Good on you girl❤❤
I like the fact that she shows us pictures of what to and not to wear...you have won yourself a follower
A big welcome to you xx
I don't know why you were worried about this content because it was very informative, well said, as well as visual with your examples. I truly appreciate what you have to say. Have a great day!
Feel better. 💕💕💕The older I become, the more vigilant I am about not looking dated or wearing clothes that simply do not flatter me. You are both inspirational and aspirational!
Thank you so much. Take care. Xx
I wish I had your enthusiasm. I stopped caring . Can’t get into it. I’m a homebody so at least I’m not in public often.
That gorgeous orange scarf with that light neutral outfit makes a HUGE difference. Love it!😊
Unfortunately, I cannot agree...🙈 Although the orange really does freshen up the look, scarves like this are not something that younger women would wear. This is actually an older lady look. So if I want color close to the face, you just shouldn't choose a plain white shirt. 🤷🏼♀️
The orange scarf really popped with the neutral outfit. I was amazed at how much better the long pleated skirt looked with the cropped jacket and fitted blouse than with the baggy shirt or sweater! Thank you for the great ideas!
I've always used the rule that only one loose/baggy item at a time. So maxi skirt or palazzo pants with a fitted top., Flowing blouse with skinny jeans. Pick one loose thing and everything else is neat and fitted, otherwise you look like you are wearing a tent and we start trying to figure out what you are trying to hide :)
I actually think your suggestions were right on. I am a 64 year old fashion nut and agree with all of them.
Even looking « weird » because of a virus, you look amazing !!!!😊
That's so kind of you, thank you Elaine. XX
I agree, Elaine!
Finally someone addressed hem lengths that made sense for us shorties.
Yes... I wear petite tops but am not of short stature. Good fitting clothes are the key to looking good!
How could anyone ever be angry with lovely you, dear Deirdre?
Totally agree with you about skirts and dresses that are too long. Being 5'2" I always have to hem these things.
Me too!! XX
Tell me about it! I'm a bit under 5ft and even have to have tops shortened. Sorry if this is TMI but even some knickers are too long (as in they come above my waist). At 71 I doubt very much that I'll grow any taller 😂
I'm 5'10" and short skirts make me look like a hooker. I prefer a nice midi. Height does alter our perspective on what looks attractive.
I'm 5'10" and look like a hooker in short shirts (minis). I prefer a mid length. Height factors in to our perceptions.
I have that issue, too! I'm 5 feet tall--but,m don't like my legs. So, what to do...?
I’m 64 and I love wearing big florals 😊
I love some of th e m as well. Wear what makes you happy
Wear what you love, absolutely. I used to wear short heels, for example, because they were "in style." Heels wrecked my feet. I am paying big-time for that now, and, while I do not wear big florals, I love florals and the joy they bring....cheers.
Some brilliant points here, showing that even wearing the same things a different way, you can look pounds lighter and years younfer, thank you ❤
I love your pleated skirt with the short jacket...so much better than the loose shirt ❤
Absolutely! Xx
I 100% tuck in all my tops, or wear “cropped”, waist-length ones. I turned 64 today, so, yes, my tummy is a bit rounder than in my youth, but the advantage of improved visual proprietor far outweighs that. I also still wear “mini skirts”, but as a petite, they are longer on me, a few inches above the knee. I have thickened a bit around the middle, but am still slim and I like to show my shape and my legs. But, I also love midi skirts. Those long maxis are cute, but not very practical, I’ve found. I don’t want any more of them, especially the fuller styles, they can be a nuisance, if not downright dangerous, to wear. Thanks, Deirdre❤
Happy Birthday!!!🎈🎈🎈
Your idea’s are fabulous! Anyone who gets upset about this video must be angry about something else because every suggestion you made was a worthwhile idea ❤
Feel better Deirdre!!! I've said it a zillion times: Color (the right color) near your face just makes you look more of everytihng good. I think the older we get, we need color more. My sister wear all these beiges and tans and creams and she looks faded, washed out and tired! When she wears deep green, purples, royals she looks so much better.
So true! XX
You also feel better wearing your favourite bright colours
@@murielbuxton6993 amen!
Your sister probably has a cool undertone and is likely a winter or summer as far as seasonal colour analysis goes.
@@mindimoom9142 I totally agree. She's a winter like me. Getting her to WEAR those colors is a whole 'nother story, LOL!
I agree with all of your observations. I must say, though, that finding modern and more flattering styles is quite difficult if one’s figure is not very good. Those options you showed did truly look lovely on you, but you are slim and youthful looking already.
That's very kind of you, but I do think that we can all look good with the "right" styles and shapes for our individual bodies. XX
True! As much as I'd like to refrain from certain items of clothing or colours or habits my body doesn't help as I'm on the chubbier side.My main problem ismy fat calves which destroy an outfit that includes a skirt. Also I'm petite so there are lots to think of before I decide what to buy. Still, I enjoy your videos, they are very enlightening. I get great ideas.
@@vickol9403 I'm so pleased you like them. Do you feel more comfortable in trousers? If so, straight leg would work well for you or slightly bootcut to help elongate your legs. XX
Yes, totally agree that black hardens us as we mature. I embrace navy as its very smart in accessories. I try to wear dresses on my knees or above as I also found it makes me look more youthful. Silver jewellery looks so refreshing. We can embrace our age and look beautiful as well with subtle changes in our clothing and accessories.
My legs are vein-streaky so I often wear shorter skirts and somewhat thicker, darker tights. Unless the weather is super-hot.
Frankly, I've always been rather "fashion impaired" and only turning 60 have felt I NEED to figure this stuff out! What a GREAT video! And I LOVED "adding a colorful scarf"! I tend toward simple tailored (way too much BLACK I see!) Anyway lots of good advice said in a lively ENCOURAGING way. Thanks!
I am right there with you regarding age and being"fashion impaired"!
Agree with all! Feel better soon!
Totally agree with your thoughts on what makes a person look old. Your styling tips are so right. Thank you for sharing
I totally agree with every suggestion you made! I personally avoid big florals or really bold multicolored patterns on top. I do love the idea of a pop of color with neutrals. Great video! You always look amazing! Hope you feel better soon!
Totally agree with all your suggestions. I adopted all of them for myself as I grew older. It is wonderful to see you mentioned them all. You are right on with this one.
Wonderful! Thank you so much. XX
I love how you have creative solutions for all of us. We might not all be able to make huge changes quickly but I love just adding a belt or colour to quickly update the look then take some time to maybe pick up a new skirt when possible!!!
First time watcher, now newly subbed. I agreed with your many points, and was happy to see that I already do all of them....*except* the suggestion about large floral patterns. It gave me pause, so I thought about it and realized you're absolutely correct! I've learned something new, and I thank you for that 😊
Love the flower arrangement on your right side!
I agree 💯 with everything you mentioned here!
I totally agree with you. These are beautiful combos. Thank you!
I agree with you about the jewelry, although I do love it! The late, great style icon Iris Apfel truly had the ability to wear tons of chunky jewelry and make it look so striking. All of your tips are great, and I love your video formatting.
I do think substantial GOLD looks the best. No costume fake gems or certainly NO plastic of course!
I, too, thought of Iris Apfel when she talked about large chunky jewelry. Apfel had her own unique style and was able to rock that look for decades. I've stopped wearing my large clunky jewelry, but I believe it will come back in style at some point. Most things do.
RIP Iris. There will always be exceptions to the rules and they tend to be style icons in their own right!!
Iris Apfel was probably Jewish, and Jewish ladies have a way (good) where wearing jewellery is concerned …
The orange scarf looks invigorating with the white!
A blue red scarf would look even better
Don’t wear brights with black
I hope you feel better soon. You didn't look tired at all, by the way. I never get tired of watching your videos and learning your recommendations. I don't want to look older so, Thanks a million!!
You're so welcome and thank you! XX
Not angry at all!! I loved all your tips and they all make sense. Being short any tips to look taller are always appreciated! Thank you for your hard work!
When someone commented that "you're really old now" (didn't wish me happy b'day even and it was my 81st). I quickly educated the person that old is a matter of the mind... if you don't mind then it doesn't matter... and that I don't subscribe to "old", vintage is so much nicer! So happy to find your channel and appreciate the education. I especially love your natural look, you're beautiful. I've already looked up your links to lip color and concealer, both desperately needed for self. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to more help that's beyond needed for self. Be safe and blessed.
I very much enjoy your videos as my style is like yours and agree with all the points you raised. I am 5 ft, size 8. I have avoided the oversized look as i look swamped in fabric and if i tuck an oversized shirt in trousers I end up with a bulky middle. My trousers are all slim or straight as wide leg just do not suit me. I have a bust so good, supportive bras are a must. I have learned over the years what suits my height and shape and am in heaven with the variety of kitten heeled slingbacks available at the moment. Hope you feel better soon.
Loved the video but I won't give up on my big necklaces. Some of my outfits demand it and my friends expect it.
Your "Style Expression" determines what size Jewelry, Prints, etc. look best on you...just as wearing the correct colors do. I NEED larger, bolder jewelry and people have even mentioned larger pieces don't look large on me. When I try to "get current" by wearing smaller, it isn't good!
She's mistaken, anyway. According to Who What Wear, " Low-Key Over: Delicate Stacking Necklaces Buying Into: Bold Collars" so dainty is passe and bold is in.
Great advice. Everything you said is perfectly correct. I loved every example that you showed!
Thank you so much! I am interested in vintage clothes, but certainly want to look young. Your tips will help. I think the jewelry tip especially.
Thank you. I appreciate the information. It helps me to make better choices when putting my outfits together.
Great suggestions… I’ve cleared out the closet and toned things down and your suggestions work. Although I just bought a black blazer like jacket, I do tend to wear more navy as an alternative to black. And I ditched the chunky jewelry long ago. Amazing how styles come and go. And those Vivaia shoes are fabulous. Thanks so much.
Hope you feel better I can't wait to try some of these fashion styles so informative ❤❤
Bless you hope you feel better soon x
Thank you for sharing! I love how you give examples of what to do with the same pieces and how to make a person look younger or at least stylish.
I'm so pleased you liked it. XX
Me too!
Great video! I'm happy to say I don't have any of these types of clothes in my wardrobe. I hope you feel better soon.
Agree with all of the suggestions! I also love Vivaia shoes.
Love all your videos, Deirdre. This one no exception except to say that I wore an all-black outfit to lunch last week and got a very spontaneous compliment from the lovely young lady who welcomed us at the restaurant. At 76 I really appreciated that! Do get well soon!
Thanks for sharing!! I love that. XX
Feel better soon, Deirdre! The video was great as usual. ❤
Thank you so much. XX
Your suggestions are great along with your split visuals. I would like to see some spring looks with the cashmere scarves you mentioned, especially your new blue one.
Thank you. These are lovely. Hope you feel better soon. I will implement these straight away.
I hope you are on the mend and feeling better. I love all your tips. I think the orange scarf with that outfit looked beautiful.
Thank you Angela.XX
First time watcher and loved your video! Full of really practical, sensible suggestions that I never would have thought of - and I love the comparisons you make, before and after so to speak, really makes you point! Thanks.
Welcome aboard and thank you so much for commenting.XX
Your advice is always right on. I love adding color. I’m 73 and following your ideas help keep my wardrobe and outfits modern. Thank you.
You're so welcome, Karen. XX
You made many very good points- especially the florals!
I totally agree with your ideas Deidre. I have always been a woman of style and class; I enjoy keeping up with the latest for 40 plus. Just because we are maturing; does not mean age equals looking like a frumpy, out of date, and out of sorts type of woman. I think we should hold on and hang on to our "pretty" as long as we can!!
Thinking perhaps you need to work on being a bit more humble. Who says "I have always been a woman of style and class..." Good luck with that.
@@blahblahblah9376 I was actually trying to give a compliment that you may have deserved. Nevertheless, I need not tone down nor take my worth down a notch. Because I know my worth, and it’s worth the self care and time that it takes to put into it!! Self esteem is right up there with self care..it’s not a luxury…it is a necessity!! Therefore, I wish you well on your journey of growth.
@nursecw2128 💗I do like your confidence and desire to hang on to your "pretty"! So cute! It sure beats giving up--which is easier and does no good for anyone! If you don't believe you are a woman of style and class, you won't carry yourself as one. Thanks for the reminder.💗
Hope you feel better quickly!
I look forward to your videos so thank you for this latest one, even though you're unwell... you don't look unwell. Your advice is spot on and you illustrate your points brilliantly. Thank you.
Thank you so much! XX
Fantastic advice, all excellent points and wonderfully illustrated. I especially agree with avoiding, especially if like me you are not very tall, skirts that are too long, big floral patterns and chunky jewellery.Thank you so much for these great tips
Well said! Thank you!
hope you feel better soon ♥ loving your sense of humour too great video
I loved this video and how you demonstrated the positive younger look❤️. Great job❤️❤️❤️
Yay! I dress young! I agree wholeheartedly with all your points.
Love the video, love the advices, love the way you look and communicate. This video came to me as a suggestion but I will subscribe and wait for more great ideas! Thank you!
Angry? For trying to help us not look frumpy and old? You are on point my dear, Brava!
Not at all.
Thank you for your honest opinions, examples and observations.
I am so happy that your video popped up in the KZhead feed. I hadn't encountered your channel before now. Love all the advice. It's always helpful to have someone else's eye on these issues...how to look younger for one. And your suggestions and style are the classic ones with polish that I love.
A big welcome to my channel and I'm so pleased you are enjoying it.XX
I agree with all you said except wearing too much black depresses me. I will combine it with color! I wear knee length skirts (or skorts in case I fall and then it looks like shorts underneath). I like "roomy" form fitting tops , not too blousy and not too tight. Thanks for re-enforcing my view that I am not too old to dress this way. BTW, I am 70.
Thanks so much for sharing, Linda. Still young at 70. Xx❤
Bang on as always!
Hello! First time watching one of your videos and wanted to say it's wonderful and very much on point. Thank you! Hope you are feeling better. You look fantastic when you're showing your fashion choices.
I don’t want to look like I’ve given up on life, clothes DO change how we feel and for me I don’t think it’s so much about looking “older”, but looking more out together for my body shape. Great tips thank you!
It's very hard to forsake the black clothes around here (with 5 months of winter, at least), they are still the most flattering for the mid-section as well. In the summer it's easier to mix in whites, light blues, etc. but I still have to be very careful of that area.😏
I don't know where you live but I tend to opt for bright colours in the winter to cheer myself up
@@debbievidal9536 That can be fun occasionally, but with the weather in MN it can also look kind of ridiculous.
Thank you so much ❤ get wel soon❤
thank you:-) the part about the shoes - orthopaedic - it was great. I need them after surgery and here I find so soo sooo good tips
Love the belted long sweater with the long skirt!
Nothing to grumble about here. A beautifully put together video . Look after yourself; stay hydrated. X
I've been moving black to Navy for work with light or jewel tone blouses/shirts. It seems to be less harsh.
I love navy. It's slimming but, as you say, not as harsh as black. XX
Especially for summer. XX
Love this video about how to look 10 years longer!! Hope you feel better soon!!
Always enjoy watching your videos. They are so insightful! Thanks
You always look amazing Thankyou for another inspirational video keep up the good work I hope you are feeling better soon Thankyou you really are a joy to watch xxxx
Thank you so much!! XX
Always so truthfull and amazing
Great tips on clothes and shoes! I agree with you!
Great tips that definitely work...simple and classic. Thank You!
"Substantial" 14k bracelets are very attractive . By the way, your colors look lovely!
These are all great looks! May I suggest a video on sporty/casual styles for leisure wear? I'd love to see your take on how to wear athleisure in flattering and stylish ways. Thanks!
Noted and thank you! XX
YEs, pls. I tend to feel always over-dressed to avoid looking sloppily casual.😢
Athleisure wear is a look for a young person. Tights at 68 can be a terrible sight. If you’re actually working out that’s one thing but as casual wear for others to see, no go for women our age.
I already using all this tips. Enjoyed to listen 🌻
Just come across this. I love the tone of your video- not patronising, and also, I like the clips of you wearing good/not so good clothes. Thank you. I’m 70 in September and have decided to stop wearing sweatshirts- my ‘go-to’ look! I’m told that I have great legs, but never show them! Need to think a lot more about my style. I do love stylish clothes, but I know I need to lose weight to be able to wear them. Im on that, and have lost 6kg so far, another 6/7to go!
SO many great points! The late Jean Muir stood by wearing Navy instead of black for women of a certain age - and I totally agree! I still wear some black, but whenever I can, choose Navy! It’s so much softer near the face, and at least for me, extremely flattering. 🙋♀️🇺🇸🥰‼️
I totally agree about navy and I'm so pleased that Jean Muir thought it was a great option instead of black. XX
I saw a colour specialist a few year ago , my colour was "autumn" which included navy so now only the odd pair of black trousers/ skirts but never wear black above the waist.
I can't find navy
This is such good advice. I find black makes me look quite drained and washed out so I tend to keep it to bottoms, or break it up with a scarf. I much prefer navy or charcoal grey for dark neutrals.
I totally disagree. Black is better every time.
This is the first of your videos that I have seen. I saw most of my clothing, and have done most of my life. I am an extreme hourglass, petite woman. I have battled weight issues all my life. But I have stabilized for several years at a good weight. I have always known that the Luz trophy stuff doesn’t look good on me. I never color block And I do look for simple. Well fitted designs. But you will not catch me in a sweet little floral print they make me sick. An independent strong woman doesn’t wear sweet little florals. I do on occasion make bold florals, and I know it’s going to be a one season dress, but I made it. I can then later, cut it up into something else, I always roll up the sleeves on my shirts and I always unbutton them a couple buttons and it does make such a sophisticated, sexy understated look. So I appreciate almost everything you said, and I do have more “comfortable“ shoes, when especially when people are wearing dresses, if you’re attending an occasion where you’re wearing a dress bite the bullet, and put a more delicate shoe on your foot! Thank you I look forward to more videos.
You are a superb lady and your advice is always precious. Thankbyou!❤
Thanks for the advice. A big help to updating my wardrobe.
I really don't think it helps woman to approach fashion like its not okay to be the age you are, its not a cfime. I want to look good, not younger. I am 62 years old and I can accept and honour that.
I know, right? I waited my whole life to wear beautiful and sophisticated "old lady" clothes and I'm going to! I once saw a Vogue layout on clothes for women 70 and over; they didn't look like young women's clothes, but they looked sophisticated. That's my target.
Hear hear 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I feel ya sista❤
Sophisticated vs frumpy. Two different things entirely. Notice she was wearing the same items of clothing in ways that looked frumpy and then more sophisticated.
If you watch the video she states this is about not “looking older than you are”….which is helpful.
I love the way you showed us what you were talking about. That first skirt looked great when you got rid of the over sized blouse. Of course everything was so nicely demonstrated. Thanks for another great video.
Oh thank you! XX
I think your right about these style issues but I also think that with the "styling" tips you reviewed; like showing your ankles, balancing volume with close fitting clothing, and balancing florals with basics can be done tastefully and making us look put together and current. I am waiting for your spring video helping me with these...because I do have maxi dresses and skirts for summer, and just ordered a floral silk blouse...praying it looks okay!
Hey Deirdre! You look darn good for having a virus! Your 'sad' face in the before pictures cracked me up. Good suggestions. Get better sooon! 💜
😊 thank you
One of my adored pieces of clothing is a 30 year old triple cashmere baggy cardigan below my bum, which is a style free zone. But I wear it alot as I am outside at many race meetings. It ages me so much, but under a coat it cannot be seen!
I just turned 44 & love your tips! You look amazing 😊. I’m a mom to 6 teenagers & I’ve been working to not hide behind shawls more bc I was noticing I look bigger in pictures when I have an oversized sweater or shawl. So for last year or so I’ve been styling more fitted even though I have weight to shed!
Thank you so much for these very helpful tips, I appreciate them.
Love your tips and feel better!
