Since when has fashion ever had an age? The statement “dressing for your age” gets thrown around a lot. This can be very frustrating when people / stranger “advise” a person on how they should dress age appropriate! What are the rules? Is there a manual on dressing that I’ve never read?
For me, dressing is very much my mood. I wear what I want when I want.
Some people can however fall under the scrutiny of this statement – they feel pressured to dress how the society would like to see them! My argument is who are we to judge someone’s fashion style? If a mother of three is comfortable wearing a dress, why is that wrong? I agree that fashion should be classy and how we style clothing depends on us and yes sometimes people do need a new wardrobe, however some people are comfortable with what they have and don’t buy an outfit from every seasonal fashion release.
This also comes from people in question, I know of people that don’t know what to buy anymore because they’re now in a certain age group… what does this even mean?
In this day and age where discrimination is at it’s highest from your skin colour to hair colour, fashion stands by our side. My wardrobe is me and no-one can or should tell me how to wear it!
Fashion is described as timeless so where did the “age appropriate dressing” sense come from?
Very interesting 😊 as I’ve been getting older, I’d say my dress sense has definitely evolved and I don’t dress the same as I did 10 years ago… sometimes I do find myself looking at old clothes and thinking, I’m too old for that now!
Yeah for sure!
To me age is just a number. You are only as old as you feel.
Same that’s how I feel
I agree, for me fashion has always been – what I love and decide to wear and what I’m comfortable in. There is nothing wrong in letting people decide what to wear, it’s their choice and we should respect it.
Thank you
This is a really good point! Who cares exactly how you’re dressing as long as it makes you happy and feel good about yourself! Thanks for sharing xx
Thank you
Amazing post! This is so true and thank you for saying this!
Thank you
Love this! SO true, I definitely dress by how my mood is and as long as you love what you are wearing then who cares what others think. Great post!
Thank you
I really hate the dressing for your age statement. As if women don’t have ENOUGH judgement to condend with? Wear whatever you want, as long as you’re comfortable and feel amazing!
My point exactly glad you get it
Yes! 100% yes! We need to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and dress for what fits us.
I’m glad you’re in agreement
