At 81 on my last birthday, I have decided I do not have time to get or be old. While I am sitll blessed with enjoying good health, I am baking French bread almost every week (that I share with friends), stay active in my church, am busily involved in Family History (which keeps my cognitive skills active). Iin summer I grow a small garden, mow my lawn, and tend the flower gardens. In addition to these things I keep my own house, do my own shopping etc. Thank you for your tips on how to dress, act and feel attractive, it is more than just not looking old and frumpy, it is confidence in who we are and who we have become.

I'm nearly 65 and I was watching this...while wearing a new paisley dress. To me, it is not the pattern that is aging: it is the quality, colours, size and placement of the pattern, style, cut and length that determine how it looks. I bought it from an English shop that sells classic designs and fabric patterns primarily for the 30-40 year old age group. How a woman accessorises the dress is also important as to whether something is aging (jewellery, shoes, handbag). Finally, make-up and hairstyling can make something aging or not. I am very wary of set "rules" about what is aging or not (apart from the non-no of polyester elastic waist trousers and the unforgivable leggings and loose shirts lol). This is just my opinion and my own experience so to each his/her own! Happy New Year to all 😁

I’m in my 70’s… I don’t particularly care what others think I should wear! I wear what pleases me.

My tip is to have a smile on your face. Instant youth.

Someone in the comments mentioned don't let any gray hair show to not look older. I disagree and think Marie-Anne would totally rock gray if she has gray. I stopped coloring my hair at 55 and now after going through salt and pepper am about to be platinum. It is so pretty! The solid black looks aging.

I say, “wear what makes you happy!”

I'm 65, developed my style from my Italian mamma so I had an advantage! I look a good chunk younger but I do wonder why everyone is obsessed with looking younger. Not saying it's wrong but it is an obsession I think. And it's more about finding YOUR styles and looking healthy!! My aunt, on preparing for her 100th birthday lunch was given an option of 2 dresses that were bought for her, she looked at both, pointed to one and said ' that's so dull, it's a party, not a funeral!! And that's the attitude I've inherited!!

I like the boho paisley dress so much better than the other two dresses!

Your illustrations of “things going south” and “underwire” are so funny! Thanks for keeping your instruction light-hearted and comical.😂

As a woman of 58, I wear whatever the hell I want. If I like it, I wear it. No outfit is going to make me look old or young. I look 58 regardless. All that matters is that I'm happy with myself. Relax, smile, and enjoy.

I am almost 84 years old. My hair is pure white.I am slim.and dress in a youthful manner.😊

I always loved Paisley! Ad wore it happily in my 20's & 30's! I still love it! I'm 63 now

I'm 38. I love floral prints and paisley. 😂. I make all my own clothes exactly how I want them. Guess I'm an old lady. I also love gardening and cross stitch 😅

I do not want to look younger I want to look the best I can be at 73 this is how I look at fashion Happy Blessed New Year Marianne 🙏❤️

I never understood all those rules about age and fashion. I'll wear the things that I like and that make me "feel me". Don't listen to anyone who wants "explain" to you what is right and what is wrong in your age! I'm 53 and I wear Dr. Martens with shortened pants even I never had perfect ancles. So what? SO WHAT?

She has such a great sense of humor, always makes me smile.

I agree with all these examples. I would add: tunic tops! I tried one once —ONCE—and I will never wear one again. They don’t hide our hips and tummies, they draw attention to them. For me, tunic tops are the ultimate “old lady” look. 😮

Excellent thoughts shared in this video. Two aging looks for women are thick black under eye liner and a very dark tan year round from a tanning salon that makes skin look like leather.

Great tips. As a dog-owner living in a rain forest environment, though, nothing will ever convince me to give up my anorak - it’s an essential piece of outdoor gear. That said, it’s reserved for dog walks and casual trips to do chores; I always wear a trench coat on “proper” outings.
