Age appropriate

[ReineD]

There are many here on the forum who are in their fifties, sixties and beyond. I look around in the real world and see a fair number of genetic women in our age group who dress age appropriately, but are not particularly "feminine" or stylish. Those who are more feminine and stylish often wear things that would often/usually be worn by younger women.

I think we may need more accurate descriptions, preferably with pictures. A dress is feminine or stylish. And yes, both older and younger women can wear dresses. But there's a difference between body-hugging, short dresses that a younger woman might wear, and a slightly looser, longer, more skin covering but still stylish and feminine dress that an older woman might wear.

Look at the difference between these age groups:

And here's a woman in her 70s wearing a skirt (or is it loose pants - I can't tell but it doesn't matter), who is also feminine and fashionable! And she's not trying to look 20. I don't think I'm allowed more than 5 links per page, so you'll have to copy and paste this in a browser window:
