I'm in my fifties, but I like to dress as if I were in my forties. I also have some clothes I bought many years ago, so I can dress like a young lady just for fun.
How many years are between your real age and the one you look (and feel) like?

I enjoy playing with my look. I have some mature outfits and some with a younger vibe. I guess the only look I don't indulge is casual, college aged girl. Boring.
I feel very young inside. I love a lot of new music. If I feel it I feel it. I like a lot of new things. And there are some new things that I find boring or just an uninteresting rehash.
It's important not to be bitter. I see people complain about new stuff and say it sucks when in reality is they who suck.
Some people get mad because the world changes. I find it interesting.
I'm in my 50s but usually wear clothes for juniors because they fit so well.
I didn't wear shorts until my late forties so my legs look amazingly young.
I use spf 50 sun screen frequently to avoid sun damage.
I was underweight in my 20s. I exercise enough to still have the same waistline I had in my 20s!

I really don't know, Tam? I'm 78 but am not sure what age I dress. What do u, (or anyone), think?:daydreaming:
Then, I'll know how to answer in the future!:heehee:
Here I am just back from a club a few weeks ago.

I play with my look all the time (That's what I do is take pictures) I don't go out-
I too have various age styles and enjoy a weekend of multiple outfits.
Is there a difference between 40s and 50s?
I'm in my 50s and I dress like I'm in my late 20s. It's what I like and if I have to dress like an old woman (my age), I'd just as soon not dress.
I do not know. I am a beginner in this girl stuff. Clothes confuse me.
But I just bought a knee length jean skirt that is a good look for me. Casual is a look I am going for sometimes.

I'm 52, but I look a lot younger so I dress in the range of my late 20's and early 30's.
I love to wear off shoulder type dresses, rompers, and tops which I get from stores such as Forever 21, Papaya, and Dillards (Juniors).
I dress WAY younger than I should, but then I am mostly into the clubbing scene. I have yet to have anyone say I should dress my age. One women said ? it?s not fair? when I tell her my real age so I say wear what you like if it does not cause you any problems.

I dress 50 years younger that the average women in a assisted living facilities.
I suppose I dress about 25 years younger than I am. But then, I dress probably about 20 years younger than I am the rest of the time. I've never really figured out what I should dress like. I have thought about getting a long silvery grey wig, just to see (but I'm not actually anywhere close to that grey on my head).
I am 62 and will dress to blend when out to the mall and other shopping. So probably late 40s to 50s look. at home it's fun to indulge in younger clothes.
I don't want to dress My age, So I dress young. It's a better look.
SuziH
I think so. I dress like my wife and sister and they are just a little younger than me. And at the upper 60's I think it is a good blending and neat look/style.
At home anywhere from 20's to 50's. When i go out I shoot for 40's . Just slightly younger than I really am.
Sara
No, I may be in the minority but I am 40 but find myself dressing as a mature grandmother type.
Younger than 10 years dressed...i.e. 45ishQuote:

I dress the age I am in my mind, which is 40 at oldest. When I venture outside, I'll need to be more age appropriate so as to blend in better.
Age 74, hoping I dress like I am in my 40's-50's. Actually, I think a knee length dress probably covers 30's to 60's. Heck, Vanna White is 64.
Im a sissy **** that s attracted to other femme sissies. I enjoy wearing a short tight fitting skirt when I'm playing at home. I've never had the opportunity to go to a club or out in public, but I would maybe tone it down a notch. Dressing young and sexy is fun. Turns me on too.
Good question. I do dress more appropriate for my age sometimes but most of the time I dress about 30 years younger than I am (66). I didn't start dressing fully till I was in my mid 50's so have had to try things out to see what I think looks best on me and is comfortable. As my wife told me, she had here whole life growing up to wear everything so I should experience it all if I want to.
I'm 67 but people tell me I look younger, and I keep myself in good shape so I tend to dress a few decades younger than my chronological age.
Not all women of the same age dress the same. So do I dress my age? As a "senior", I know better than to dress as a teenaged girl. I know better than to try and look like a "hot" twenty something woman.
That doesn't mean I dress like a woman in an assisted living facility either. My dresses and skirts are a bit longer than what a younger woman might wear and my shoes are mostly flats.
In short, yes, whenever possible.
My style, such as it is, is to dress casually but hopefully in a neat, presentable manner.
Hi TamT :hugs:, I am almost 79 and I don't dress my Age, >Orchid**O:daydreaming:O**
I don't need a LifeAlert yet, but of that age. I never have dressed to my age and do not plan on it as long as I'm able to dress with fashions that I like.
Life is good, go out and enjoy and remember age is only a number.
I'm in my 40s and I dress depending on the circumstances and mood I'm in. If I am just going about my business during the day and want to blend in, I absolutely dress like any average 40-something woman. Mostly skinny jeans or leggings with a nice top.
If I want to look or feel sexy or attract more attention, then I wear things that most women my age do not wear. This usually means tighter, more revealing clothes purchased at stores whose target customers are half my age.
I'm pretty much conservative and dress my age, not flamboyant at all and I sometimes find myself dawning the appearance of June Cleaver. What would the Beaver say to that?
I try to dress the way fashionable women my age dress, which is somewhat younger than our age. But not too much younger.
I am in my fifties and dress more like a woman in her thirties or forties (but from the seventies or eighties :) ). I don't go out hence can do as I please.
I often explain myself as having a 23 year old brain locked inside a 55 year old body. Sometimes that brain wants to do active things and my body is like, 'you're gonna regret this later' and sure enough, I do. For a long time I put that down to the cause of my Peter Pan Syndrome - I'm just a little boy who refuses to grow up. But then a few years ago I realised that the 23 year old inside of me is actually Sandra. My dress sense is somewhere in the 20s. I like skirts that are above the knee, yet still modest; and I like heels that most women my actually age would pass on (although, again, my body wants to challenge the wisdom of this).
This. At 74, I wear my strappy short sundresses with with sandals or flip flops. I don't really wear heels anymore and my only make up for the few years is lipstick!Quote:

Attachment 323364 It depends I guess I do.
To all you girls out there! Act your shoe size and not your age! Life is too short. Just be who you feel like who you are. I?m 49 going on 25 years lol
In my 60's and dressing like 30's..I like to be sexy in my head and not trashy..
I always said age is in the mind.
Perhaps though its a bit different when dressing..
That said i dress about 10 years younger i guess?
Who knows.
I dress for what is comfortable and appropriate for where I am going. For me its not as much as "the age" as it is the look and the fit. In my view the younger styles don't fit my body. My 70yr old male gut is much to big to look good in a figure hugging sheath dress of the younger set.
So, if it looks good, wear it. If it doesn't, then don't.
Molly
I didn't know there was a difference between fifties and forties as far as women's fashions go. All I know is that I don't go for the frumpy look. Put me down for 30 years younger than I am.
I go through phases, currently I'm rocking the "trailer trash" look (short shorts, fishnets, etc), which is probably at least 30 years off from my age. But it's fun and my wife and I are the only ones who see me, so who cares? :tongueout
I try to look like a woman my age would look, but a really hot one LOL
Why on earth would I want to dress my age??
Well, I'm close to 70 and I refuse to dress like it. I would say my look and style are about that of a woman of her late 40's or early 50's, Maybe?? I don't feel I look my age and I'm not going to wear clothes that make me feel my age.
I quit thinking about my age a long time ago.
Can you wear a gray wig with a pink snap crotch pink onesie?
I'm 68 and i dress about half my age. No reason to look like a grandma.
Hi Tam. :) I'm 37, almost 38..... I dress conservatively, maybe a little younger than my age sometimes, but I sure don't wear skin-tight or skimpy outfits, with my butt hanging half out and acting like I'm the hottest thing that ever walked the face of the Earth! LOL (Not saying you or anyone else here does), but I certainly don't dress like I'm in my 20s. LOL
I have always dressed like a conservative middle aged woman, even when I was in my late teens. Never really cared for what the young women were/are into. I miss the ladylike fashions of the 80s...
At my age that is not a problem. Most of the women around me don't wear dresses. We all wear jeans, tops and golf shorts.
No intentions of going after the "Beverly Hillbillies" Granny look.
Dress my age!? Ugh! As if! I'm 39 and dress like I am in my early 20s, maybe late teens with some of the skirts I have. :heehee:
