6 Things to Wear Over 60
How many times have you run across a list of things we should never wear over 60 that is written by a person in their 30s? Too many times for my comfort level because, at 68, I’ve lived long enough to know what works for me. It feels like the older we get, the more we’re dictated to, but I believe we should wear what makes us feel confident. Today, I’m sharing six things I’ve chosen to wear over 60 because they help me look and feel my best. No rules are involved! You may find some of these work for you, too.

Here are 6 Positive Things to Wear Over 60
1-Wear What Fits Your Current Body Shape
Your body deserves to be treated with love and respect, regardless of its size or shape. Fluctuating weight is a common fact of life for most women over 60, but donāt let it negatively impact how you feel about yourself. Dressing for your current weight is a form of self-care and self-respect.
Buy and wear clothes that fit you right now. You deserve better than to squeeze yourself into things that fit 15, 10, or even 5 pounds ago. Tight clothes also make you look larger than you are, and no one needs that.
If you plan or hope to lose weight in the near future, buy a few quality basics that fit you now. They’ll bolster your confidence and help motivate you on your journey to healthy eating and weight. If you adore clothes that don’t fit you right now, move them to another closet so you don’t see them each morning. Here is a simple way to clear out your wardrobe.
2- Wear an Updated Haircut
Whether you’ve chosen to go gray or not, your hairstyle has a huge impact on your appearance. A stale haircut that dates you isn’t serving you well. If your hair texture performs best in a bob, tweak it to look more modern. Have the back stacked to a graduated bob, or try adding some wisps in front or side-swept bangs.
If you love a short haircut, try adding some gel for added texture with a piecey look or to get an extra lift on top. Small changes can make your hairstyle look more current, so investigate your options and experiment with new products.

2- Wear A Supportive Bra To Help Everything Fit Better
Few of us escape menopause without changes to the shape of our bodies. Things shift and usually drop. I’m looking at you, droopy knees…but the biggest drop can happen to our bustline. I’m not well endowed, so I can wear bras without an underwire, but I still need the support and lift I get from a well-structured bra.
Most women are wearing the wrong size bra, but over 60, it’s more common. By our age, our breasts have lost or gained volume and are not usually as high as they used to be. Small fluctuations in weight will affect how supportive our bra is, plus breast tissue loses firmness as we age. Wearing a supportive bra that keeps things in the proper place also improves how we look in our clothes.
Visit the lingerie section of a large department or specialty store and get a professional bra fitting each year. This ensures you’re wearing the proper bra for your current body. I always suggest owning bras in ‘nude’, which will be invisible under your clothes. Here are some of the comfiest bras for older women.
3-Apply A Body Moisturizer Everyday
By 60, our skin doesn’t produce the same amount of collagen and natural oils as our younger skin. To counteract that, I find it invaluable to slather a good-quality moisturizer all over my body when I’m fresh out of the shower.
Formulas that contain squalane, hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, and lactic acid are some of the best for moisturizing aging skin. I also reapply to my legs and arms each night, which may seem like overkill, but the extra effort makes a world of difference. Here are some of the Best Lotions and Skin Creams for Crepey Skin.
4- Wear Updated Jewelry In Midlife
Jewelry goes in and out of style. One year, bold jewelry is in, and the next, it’s out. The way we choose to add accessories should come down to personal preference, but stay abreast of what’s current so you look up-to-date. A classic strand of pearls, worn alone, can look dated on women over 60. Try supersized costume pearls for a fun twist that makes a statement or layer them with other necklaces.
Earrings draw attention to your face, so have fun with these. Unique bracelets or brooches update your outfits with little financial investment. Here is where you can play with trends and get lots of bang for your buck. And in case you haven’t heard, brooches are back in a big way, so pull yours out and have fun with them.
5- Never Skip Sunscreen Over 60
It’s never too late to protect your skin. Yes, most of the damage and skin cancer we’re dealing with now was caused by a lack of care in our youth. That doesn’t mean we should expose it to more assault now. Our skin is thinner and more fragile over 60, so it needs even more protection from the sun. Age spots on the back of our hands are from sun damage, so remember to protect them as well. Here are some of my favorite sunscreens for our fragile skin over 60.
What would you add to this list that you’re embracing over 60? Here are more style tips for women over 60.

Thanks for reading, and remember to wear what makes you feel confident. Fashion is a form of self-expression and self-care, which should also be enjoyable.
Hello,sorry I had a computer issue and had to reinstall quite a few apps. I also was talking to my daughter about some of the things I have learned from reading your blogs. My daughter was impressed. I think she will also be following. I am so happy to be back. Thank you,Sherry Mason.
Welcome back!
THANKS for the tip on a bra fitting. I am going to find a fitter. Sherry
Iām 63 & have been wearing a long line posture bra. I had to start wearing one due to arthritis in my shoulders. Helps me stand straight. Even us petite women have to be concerned. Iām 5ā1ā. Every ounce shows ( size 10). I mostly wear jeans & t shirts. I love my dainty jewelry AND my pearls. I need to start dressing a little older. I started moisturizing when I was 20, never sunbathed much at all. My posture bra also makes the girls look proportionately right. Iām not very endowed but makes me look like I do. Iām a very conservative dresser so the girls never see the light of day. I am recently widowed & refuse to draw attention to myself but I do want to look sophisticated. I will be going back to college & working a few more years.
Iām sorry to hear about your spouse, Debbie.
I love what I learned from this post. I live in Arizona now with my kids after losing my husband. Iām 69 now and have noticed I look a lot older than I should. Sunscreen is a definite here but it breaks me out. What do you suggest for a good sunscreen for your face?
You might try a chemical sunscreen that dries very quickly. Look for ones that are non-comedogenic.
Wonderful comments and suggestions! I have worn front closing bras for years! No bumps or lines of closures on my back and so easy to put on. I will be 87 in 2 weeks, worked full time until I was 78 and still try to stay current with skin care and fashion. Just working on staying healthy and active. Love your posts, Jennifer!
I hope you have a fabulous birthday!!
What great info for us over 60 (and then some) . I hate when my body is changing by the minute and things that did fit don’t anymore.
Thanks for helping me feel good about me and to work at being the best I can.
Things always seem to be shifting on my body š¤£
āYour body deserves to be treated with love and respect, regardless of its size or shape.ā I love this!
Thank you Jennifer, great on point post. Iām 79 but close to your size and coloring. I often buy your suggested clothes. You are wearing my trouser jeans in the picture. I also love my neutrals and cool blues and greys. I wear my hair in a bob, slightly longer than in the video. I have thinning at my crown and an unfortunate swirl forming a part down the back of my head. With thin almost white hair with silver streaks, it is almost impossible to get my crown to stay nice for any length of time. I use max hold mousse, gel and still have trouble. I canāt seem to wear hairspray as it causes scalp irritation and itching. I may go to a small hairpiece like my mother did. I hear my motherās voice in my head all the time to walk tall and straight even at 5ā2ā, posture is very important for back health.
I think small hairpieces can be very helpful!
You have struck a chord with this one, Jennifer. It goes beyond clothing choices, of course. Women of a certain age are wise enough to know that we’ve learned a thing or two over the decades. We will make our own decisions based on our wisdom and experience, in all aspects of our lives. It’s best for others to remember this. š
After reading the comments about fastening bras in the front I am proud to say that at 85 I can still fasten my bra in the back. Also, I exercise regularly at my local Y and have very short gray hair.
Wonderful guidelines and tips, Jennifer! As to the subject of bra fitting and since none of our department stores offer the service; recently purchased one of your recommendations being the Warner’s Cloud 9 wireless and find it to be super comfortable and a perfect fit, so thank you. -Brenda-
When I see someone who looks so put together itās probably not one particular item that sticks out. Itās more likely a person who has developed a habit of keeping themselves healthy and current with daily routines. As we age, we may need to spend more time on these same habits.
Everything you mentioned today contributes to an overall easy way to fight the fight! Iām not going to be that trend setter but I sure want to stay current. My granddaughters are my biggest cheerleaders! I love the word āfreshā. It can apply to so many aspects of how we approach life!
I love that your granddaughters are your cheerleaders, Jan!
My god – actual great advice! Thanks for the reminders. I appreciate it!
I have enjoyed reading your blog.
Iām 75 and find front fastening bras easiest Enjoyed all the comments
Would like to subscribe .I also recently chose a Bob style my hair is white and a few lilac highlights. Always feel good with a new hairstyle.
What is the skin cream you use?
I use different ones of different body parts. Which one are you curious about?
I went to a bra fitter and she told me the most important thing about putting on your bra, which ever way you fasten it , is before you pull the straps on, lean and let your boobs fall into the cups. Pull the straps on while still leaning. She explained your boobs are in the right place and get supported properly. You will not believe how much better your shape looks when doing it this way. You don’t trap your boots in the wires etc so it looks neat and supported
Yes! I was told the same trick! It works
I have heard some absolutely great tips I will certainly do, especially the professional bra fitting! I also suffer from multiple auto immune diseases and that has slowed my activity greatly. I really think I should try yoga. It sounds like something I could do at my own pace. By the way, I’m about to turn 63 and my hair is way past my shoulders. I’ve tried short and it’s just not for me.
Thanks for so many great fashion tips. For many of us women over 60 & 70 who may have had breast surgeries, we have to be extra careful in our selection of proper bras.
Also, good posture, healthy teeth, a good manicure & pedicure, well-fitted clothes, and confidence will go a long way in felling good, no matter what our style!
I have been rethinking my clothes. I donāt like a lot of fuss but I have been thinking I may be on the sloppy side. So finding your post helps. Only problem is I donāt like to shop. However, with the help of your post my daughter be happy. She says I deserve to look be.
Thank you for all of your awesome tips! I have always felt more comfortable in jeans and tops, but at 60, I feel these are not flattering and was at a loss of how to dress chic and be comfortable at same time. I love all of your fashion and skincare/hair tips and plan to implement them all.
Wear Spanx’s Bra-llelujah.
Check out Bali front fastening bras – available online, at Macy[ās, etc.
Love your suggestions, especially the pictures so we can see! How about some ideas for those of us who are even more mature than our sixties? I think these ideas today are good for years to come, except for maybe a bit longer? My knees are NOT my best feature now! Thanks again for thinking of us as we move (the magic word that move) into our even later years!
I have used front hook bras for years. I buy Playtex 18 hour with front close and cross your back. They are very comfortable.
Thank so much
love your pins! I needed this:)
I like the new look

I am 64 years old and I agree with wearing clothes that make you feel good about yourself. Also, as for the back closure bra or front closure, I have both styles that I wear but, the front closure has become my favorite. It makes me feel younger and look perkier. I am also trying to focus more on my health now that I am retired from working and have more time to eat right and exercise. I have really enjoyed reading all of the comments that were posted. They are very insightful.
This is great, helpful information! I just turned 60 in March.
I plan to get a Bob cut.
I now realize that being, and enjoying being 63 years old, I need to find styles and skin products that have been found to be best for my age. It feels very satisfying to see someone my age wearing clothes suited for me.
I am going to turn 62 next month and I am very happy I found this blog. I struggle to determine how to dress that makes me look stylish and to get ideas in clothing and beauty products that can help me look my best. I loved the advised you give and the tips in how to wear modern clothing without looking trashy. I also loved the way you communicate. You just make me feel more confident embracing the new stage in my life.
Welcome, Martha
I like to read your article s.very helpful for me. When I go out i remember your advice. Thanks a lot.
I’m 62 and work very hard to moisturize my face and NECK! Gravity is catching up.
Sempre bei consigli
mi aiutate a riflettere e a provare a non fare errori
Grazie
Always nice advice
Help me reflect and try not to make mistakes
Thank you
Thanks Jennifer for your postings in 2021. Reading them brings joy to my day. It helps to keep me creative and stylish. Wishing you and yours all the best in 2022.
Hi, Maria. Regarding your frustration at bra hooks in the back: my aunt taught me a neat trickāwhen putting on your bra, do it backwards! Put the cups on your back, hook it in the front, then just turn it around and slip your arms through the straps and adjust the bra comfortably. Voila and easy peasy!
My grandmother fastened hers this way.
This is the only way Iāve ever done it and Iām 59. Do you mean people can actually hook them behind their back? Amazing. I donāt think I could. Then again, I have 4 hooks on mine.
Thank you for this much insightful post for 60+ l enjoyed it. Gives me ideas on how to dress for my age.
Much appreciated
Elaine
a couple of good handbags are worth a pile of tatty ones. comfortable, safe shoes are a must.
its painful but throw out those old bags and treat yourself to a new classic one and a fun one.
I agree!
Very interesting..thanks
Love this
I am 79 and I just bought my first Jean jacket. It appears to be identical to the one you are wearing! It is from Macyās Charter Club line and I love it!
I love jean jackets. You have to find one with a good cut. One with a bit of a Princess seams.
I bought one with that cut and love it. I ordered another from the same, now only online store and it is boxier and never feel the same comfort in it.
It be may not be your style but it is for many women.
I have found your tips very useful and I really appreciate and admire your style . Thank you for sharing Iām 70
Welcome, Mary!
I love your ideas of Clothing and hair and make up.I am 78 but Feel good and also look smart .l
Love this site.
Great ideas!! Thank you and please add me to your blog/newsletter!
I love your fashion tips
Thank you, not there yet but working on updating. I’m 5’2″ weight 135 lb. wear leggings and big tops, need to scale down the tops. My casual wear is linen and that wrinkle easily…so not quite there yet. Hair, jewelry, makeup is good, I am seventy-five.
Thank you for all of your ideas.
If a jean jacket fits right, it looks great on me. Many designers design them to fit a woman. To each his own….I never think of a farmer when I see a woman well dressed with a denim jacket as part of her beautiful outfit.
First time reading your blog. Love it. Please add me.
I’m 73 this yr and I need help with kinds of lotions for my skin type ( dry and wrinkled) LOL! I do dress simular but I appreciate any help thank you, you look great! I’m 5-6 and weigh 175 so I dont wear anything tucked in, any suggestions would be a big help
I think most of us are challenged by our dry skin, I know I am. I find lotions that contain lactic acid are very helpful. The trick for me is consistency. I apply every morning after my shower and every night before bed. It takes time, but I do find it helps.
Your ideals help me so much, I am turning 69. I have always dressed nice as I was a clothing buyer for Belk for 10yr. I dont want to dress old, but at the same time I dont want to dress too young either. Its so hard at this age to know what you are suspose to wear. Please add me to your following. Thanks, have a blessed day.
I wish somebody could just come and give me a new wardrobe. I hate shopping.
Thank you for the moisturizing tips and products.
Good advice. Thank you! And I love the comments here. Iām soon to be 68 and aspire to be like these ladies in their 70s. Itās a good thing to pay attention to how you dress. Always.
I love the ideas
I am always looking for suitable fashions for women 50-70. I am 73. I like your fashion advice
Love all your inspiring ideas now approaching 76 y/o
I am tall, and attractive. Love your clothing and hair ideas
Enjoyed your ideas!!
Beware of heavy dangling earrings that drag your earlobes down, though. To me, that adds āageā to any look.
Totally agree! We are always told to wear ‘statement’ jewelry but I think the statement that big necklaces and big earrings make is: I’m old!
Also- I think only the young with full lips and a short upper lips should wear red lipstick. Older teeth (unless whitened to a highly artificial level) always look more discoloured with red lipstick. It inevitably end up on the teeth and brings unwanted attention to thinning lips. A soft pink or tangerine shade is so much more flattering, so much less harsh.
Add me to your newsletter or posts!
Excellent ideas for this almost 71 year old!
Welcome, Susan!
Love this look . Iāam 75 years old but still retain a decent figure 5 ft.3inch. 123 lbs . I have a blue jeans jacket but have never worn it now I will try this look thank you for giving me this idea.
I think I will do that too! Wear whites with a jean jacket. So sharp and classy!
Love these looks but have to wear orthotics and shoes with meta rocker soles. Hard to be chic with that!
Same here! Just about any outfit looks dowdy with this type of shoe.
Hopefully I can wear a bikini every day after 60! I workout and look better at 58 than I did in my 30s. If I can fly south by then anyway. You do look nice.
Love all the ideas! The only thing I find difficult right now is wearing larger earrings. They are harder to wear with a mask so have stuck to smaller studs for the time being, until Covid is over. š·š
Agreed! I canāt tell you how many times Iāve hooked my earrings in the loops of my mask.
Love that many of us can go to our closets right now and copy this look! What elevates your style in this ensemble–and many others– are the statement earrings and fun clutch. I need to make time to put on such easy additions.
You look so youthful in this outfit! Great combo. I will have to copy it wearing my new jeans jacket with white garments I already have. Thanks for the inspiration!
Great information! I just had a virtual bra fitting with Nordstrom since doing it in person wasn’t an available option here. It went very well and of course I had changed sizes since my last fitting over 20 years ago. She was professional and extremely helpful. Afterward she emailed me a list of bras she recommended for me with sizes. Ordering some or all is your choice. The free shipping/free returns with Nordstrom make this so easy in lieu of actually being at the store to do try-ons. Best 30 minutes I treated myself to in months!
Iām so happy to hear that!! We do need to do these things for ourselves.
Such good information – WFH for a year now it’s been so easy to overlook so much. My skin is dry, I let my hair go way too long before getting it cleaned up (finally did that last evening and what a boost it was), and I throw on clothes to sit at the kitchen table not caring what I actually look like. Your mention of wearing what fits now actually almost brought me tears of relief, allowing me to forgive myself for those pandemic pounds. Now I feel like looking for just a few things to give myself a boost coming out of winter in Maine.
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdome!
Hi Jennifer, love the post thank you for all the tips. I recently got my ears re- pierced after 32 years and I am loving the look and the fun of finding earrings again. My daughter went with me to the tattoo parlor for support! I am allergic to base metal but earrings have changed since then and now you can get some wonderful ones and I am loving how they frame my face! Something new at 57! Love those amazing white ones you are wearing with the denim jacket. Great look. Happy weekend:)
Excellent tips Jennifer! Also IMHO, some great suggestions from your readers as well. -Brenda-
P.S.: Re dying of garments. If done properly (which takes some patience) you shouldn’t have to worry about bleeding as often freshen up my ‘blacks’ and never have had a problem and/or the color rubbing off, like some dark denim jeans do even after numeroust washings…š².
I never had a professional bra fitting until I was 67 and getting ready for my daughter’s wedding. Knowing that most women wear bras that are too small, I proudly told the assistant that I wore a 36 or 38C. She pursed her lips (just like David Spade’s church lady on SNL) and shook her head as she measured me. When she said that I was definitely no more than a 34C, I protested that I need my bras to be comfortable. She replied, “But honey, that’s why your bosoms are falling out of the bottom of your bra.” I laughed so hard!!
Thank you for the helpful information. I’ve been receiving your posts for about a month and this is one of the very best! You look amazing in your white outfit with the jeans jacket; I may try to copy that look. I was glad to see that all the sun protectors you recommend are corral & ocean safe: no oxybenzone, butylparaben, octinoxate or 4MBC. Many people don’t realize that even if you’re just sitting on the beach, these chemicals leak into the sand and wash into the water.
Hi Jennifer, I just wanted to say I love your look today. It’s so fresh and youthful.
Iāve gifted myself monthly gel manicures for the past several months. Since we arenāt traveling or dining out, Iāve enjoyed seeing my hands look their best since thatās what I see all the time. Bizarre I know! I also had my first French manicure which I love.
Not bizarre sounding to me at all! Iāve been contemplating the same thing.
During pandemic, I have continued to put on some makeup and even some earrings and decent clothes, because I have to look at me too, and it just makes me feel better. Still love those leggings though, and no one sees those on Zoom.
I have to look like me too.
My favourite bottoms are still jeans. Iām not giving them up! My neighbourās husband told her she was too old to wear jeans. Geeez! Iām 67 and probably going to be still wearing them when Iām 80.
Thank you for the reminder to book a bra fitting. Iāve gained some weight and my current ones are too small. With lighter fabrics on the horizon, I had better up my game.
I love your outfit today. So fresh and spring like,
Men always have interesting opinions on what women should and can wear.
Let me say this as politely as possible, theyāre wrong š
All. The. Time. I will be wearing jeans for as long as I want.
I am 65. I love my jeans! But about 4 years ago I decided the zippers and buttons just added too much bulk. I started wearing Kim Rogers pull on jeans. They have wide waistbands and flat fronts. They have different color washes and leg styles. I love them. (I have also gotten some Jessica Simpson pull on jeans.)
Pull-on jeans are so comfy!
If only I knew then what I know now, maybe my skin care routine would be more simplified. Lol
I am trying to streamline the arsenal of products that I seem to need these days. I love the tinted Australian Gold sunscreen. I actually use it as an overall makeup base, maybe dabbing a bit of concealer if needed. Since I use massive amounts of body lotion, I have found several drug store brands that work great. Maybe then, I can justify some of the more expensive products I love for my face and hair.
I have a small strand of a pearl type necklace that I will pair with a denim shirt or jacket. I just like that high/low contrast. Kinda like wearing a blazer with jeans.
Yes, to all your great ideas! Letās make 2021 a year of renewals!!
Yes! That high low contrast looks so modern to me. I love it too. Iām going to take my strand out today and play with ideas.
Love the outfit and shoes. Along with little hoop earrings and pearls I find that trainers/sneakers on us older ladies are aging and make me think they have bad feet!!
I have a hard time pulling trainers off. Maybe I just havenāt tried the best styles yet.
Thanks for the great advice Jennifer! I didn’t notice a link for the shoes and jean jacket. Can you please share?
Iām sorry theyāre both sold out.
Jennifer…. I LOVE your honesty about aging…. YES we will all get there…but doing it gracefully and comfortable is definitely the key. All of your tips are so helpful! Great article!
FYI…Iāve been using a vitamin C serum from Beauty Counter products (on line) and a collagen powder with peptides daily in my morning tea….from Vital Proteins I actually think I see a difference… I know my nails are stronger. Time will tell. NO I AM NOT A REPRESENTATIVE…just a user.
Enjoy the day…
Iāve just started using a collagen powder too and am excited to see it it helps my nails.
Iāve taken a collagen/hyaluronic acid/vitamin C powder for several years now and I especially love the way it keeps my heels moisturized. No callus build-up. š
You look lovely in the jean jacket and white Jean. While cleaning closets during last week’s cold snap, i ran across my blue jean jacket I bought years ago. I wore it yesterday with a lavender t-shirt and black jeans. It felt good to freshen my look with some classics I already had in my closet.
Thatās one of the beautiful benefits of classics!
Thank you for all your tips and I love your outfit all white, Jean jacket, leopard purse and light colored shoes. Everyoneās comments were great like it when we all try to work together even with fashion! Thanks Jennifer for your blog always enjoy
Great advice Jennifer.
Thank you š„°
Always love your advise Jennifer. I had a bra fitting some years back but probably should have another one since I’m now 71. I want to try your white outfit with the jean jacket. Simple but classic.
I love a column of white. It does just feel so fresh!!
This was a great post. I am pinning it!
Youāre sweet. Thank you! Xx
Just a compliment, Jennifer. The column of white with that denim jacket is so flattering on you! Lovely photo. Great fit across your shoulders and waist, your legs look long for days, your hair style is sharp-lovely! Thanks for all the tips.
Good advice!
I just re-read your post āThe One Bra Youāll Never Needā. I jave dyed all my white bras. I used
Rit Dyemore Synthetic fabrics. Itās easy. Just test early and often for depth of color. Also, the dye doesnāt run in the wash. I can now wear bras that showed under my clothes ( there were 6 of them!). So it saved lots of money by not replacing them. Iāve also purchased a couple white bras on ebay that were my brand and my size, which is hard to find (32C unlined underwire) at an acceptable price.
I didnāt know that Rit was stable in the wash! I always assumed it would bleed into other things. Thanks for the tip.
Hi Jennifer, great tips. Being stylish really means being confident. Getting dressed “on purpose” is something that I have lived for the past 20 years. It means being mindful about clothing choices based on the day’s activities, and wanting to feel stylish even if I don’t leave the house.
The other tip I would add is to consider teeth whitening. Nothing ages us more than a yellow smile. Subtle brightening can make a great difference. Cheers!
I agree. Our teeth do yellow as we age. All my tea drinking isnāt helping either:)
I ont give up tea for beauty. Thatās just a step too far. LOL
Agreed:) xx
I canāt wait until I think itās safe enough to get a professional bra fitting – I agree that bra fit is crucial to looking and feeling good. If youāre over 70 as I am you may remember the term ā foundation garment ā but a bra really is a foundation to feeling confident.
As someone who for health reasons struggles to maintain weight I wish all women who are overweight would be kinder to themselves. If your doctor says youāre healthy just wear clothes that fit your style and your body and donāt mourn your younger, skinnier self. I would love to have plump cheeks!
Thank you for saying that Janet! We need to love and embrace our current bodies. Itās a blessing to be alive. None of our aging bodyās are without challenges but the grace we meet them with makes life so much more enjoyable.
We have just had 4 days over 40 degrees in Western Australia.
Too hot to go out the door ! I am 70 this year and I wear beautiful flowing caftans at home
and blow dry my hair and put some light make-up on.
You never know who might pop in and it makes me feel good.
And my husband always tells me how lovely I look. Love that man.Been married 50 years and he still compliments me.
Have any of you heard of Iris Apfel. I rest my case.
I am 66 and have gained a little podge over the last year as I used to do lots of running until I slipped and broke my back in 2 places. Now I have returned to work and am finding that other than basics such as plain T shirts, I tend to choose better quality clothes that are classic and well cut. A great quality crisp white Button down shirt, skinny denim jeans or straight black pants for work and a slim blazer for example. I add some gold jewellery, dark slightly cat eye sunnies and red lipstick. I wear a longer blonde bob that I tie back sometimes (Miranda Kerr style and look) Simple and very classy is what I try to achieve now rather than the latest fashion. I canāt believe how many years it has taken me to find my signature style but I now know what suits me. I do love the balloon sleeve blouses out now so I may splurge on one to wear out with jeans but it will be in a luxe fabric. I wrecked my feet by wearing Very high heels for most of my adult life so now I find I can Still wear kitten heels with pointed toes and achieve the same look. I look for brands that are wide for comfort. A pair of red kitten shoes can really vamp up a pair of jeans or floaty wide pants too. Also I have invested in a couple of classy belts to add some interest. Getting older doesnāt mean looking old. Best wishes to all of you beautiful, mature, fabulous ladies.
A few years ago, I went to a department store where I had purchased bras for several years. The sales clerk asked if I wanted a bra fitting and I said I did. She stood right there in the middle of the lingerie department and measured me poorly on top of my clothes and said what size I should try. I thought she was bananas and tried on and purchased two bras the size she told me. They were the worst fitting bras I had ever bought. A couple of years later, I went to an upscale department store and the clerk in the lingerie department offered to measure me. She went into the fitting room with me and measured me, then brought me several well-made bras to try. She checked the fit of each of them. Some of them had a frame that was too wide for me, some had too little coverage for my body, and one very plain one fit perfectly and felt really comfortable. She suggested that I wear it around the department for about 15 minutes and then tell her how it felt. I did try it and determined that it was a great fit and comfortable, so I bought it after nearly fainting with sticker shock. I liked it very well, so I decided to see if I could find that exact bra on ebay. I did find it and ordered more at a significantly lower price than at the department store. I have bought bras on ebay several times since then, most of the time staying with the same style.
A professional bra fitting is invaluable.
SOMA has front closure bras with support and stripes that donāt fall down. Check them out. I have been wearing them for years now.
At 91years old, I wonder if there āspecial ā rules for us, too !! I keep my mind active by playing Scrabble and other games on my iPad. Iām not so active physically as I use a walker . I like stylish and colorful clothes that are not too tight . People remark that I look great !! Enjoy your blog and read it every time . I am 102lbs and 4ft 8in tall . Any suggestions for me ? Have a great summer !!
I think you are amazing Lucille!! BRAVO! I prefer tools and tips to rules. My biggest tip is to dress to make yourself happy and feel confident! You could use the search function on the top of this page and it will pull up some posts on petite dressing.
Wow!!!! God bless you young healthy Lady…
Great advice, Jennifer, and I love the practicality of you “6 over 60” list. I agree with each of these. If I made a list for myself it would be “7 over 70” and I would include shoe guidance. I love a heel, the higher the better, but for me that shipped has sailed. Two hip and two knee replacements, a spinal fusion and a toe joint replacement later I have to be very thoughtful & careful about footwear. But I refuse to wear stodgy comfort Oxford with no style. Happily, there are a lot of shoe manufacturers now who make attractive, stylish footwear. Takes a bit of work to find which brands/styles work best but they are out there.
I remember my mother saying the same thing about the bra fastening in the back. I taught her how to fasten the bra in front if her & then to move to her back, then slip her arms through the straps. She loved it and alway put her bra on this new way.
That’s how I put my bra on too.
I have been putting my bra on that way since I fractured my shoulder 20 years ago, much easier and all you have to do is slide it around . What could be easier than that!!ššš
I do it also now that I have three hooks and yes to the person that said make sure your back is dry after shower.
Me too, I’m 65 but I’ve always done it that way.
I fasten the bra and put it on over my head. Works well almost every time.
That is the way I put my bra on, also! I had rotator cuff surgery last year and I still have trouble stretching my arms to my back. Just make sure your back is completely dry after a shower or the bra will get stuck and twisted!
Yes. I now have a torn rotator cuff, so I just slip my right arm in, then pull my bra over my head and then the other shoulder. An advantage to having slightly deflated breasts. lol. Of course it is an advantage to be basically an H frame. I could step into my hooked bra, if I could bend down.
I have done this from the beginning!
Me too, taught that when i first started wearing a bra!
So have I. I thought that was the way it was supposed to be done.
Me, too – since age 12! LOL.
Maria,
I have always put my bra on like this, our mother taught us this in a very easy way.
I place my bra on my mid drift with the back to the front. I close the hooks, spin the bra around so cups are on the front bring the shoulder straps one by one over your shoulders and there you have it on.
Me too.š
Me too
Me too, for years!! I also have sport bras with hooks in the front & so comfortable.
Always put my bra on that way now!! It doesnāt work though if you are hot and sweaty.
A little talc might help. Put talc on a towel to apply – fold into a long shape.
The professionals hate that way you put on a bra!! I can no longer reach around to the back to close or unhook the bra. I had surgery where I lost function in my arms from nerve damage. I cannot reach around like I used too so, I put on a bra they way you do!! I am happy I can do that!!! Phewey to the professionals. I do what I have to do to get it done!!
I’ve always put it on that way. lol So much easier than trying to fasten in the back and adjust the girls.
I’ve been putting it on that way for 40+ yrs :)) …just thought everyone did it that way. My husband laughs when I lean forward to make sure the girls fit into each cup correctly. Lol!
Oh my gosh! Iāve always felt like a freak doing it like this! Iām so glad there are other women who do it this way!
Have always done it this way and never have given it another thought. -Brenda-
I invested in a black and nude strapless bra. Can either slip over my head in step into. No more bra straps sliding down my arms.
Me too – been doing it since day 1.
Hello , just browsing and read your blog and comments from readers. Iām 63 tomorrow, wearing English size 6 – 8 clothes, growing my natural silver vixen hair as long as I want it to be, do yoga 5 times a week, it keeps me slim, energised, and engaged with everything, I like a drink most nights, not so into food other than protein. Iām maintaining a better figure than I had when I was much younger, I feel fitter and healthier than those previous days, and I in all honesty can say Iām in better shape than many women 35 years my junior. I have no answers, but it isnāt just lucky genes, no such thing!!
Annesandra from England.
I am the same age as you and feel the same way. Yoga is a game changer and will help anyone get into shape. You donāt have to be fit to start our slow. I try to do it 5-6 days a week and have been doing it for years. As little as 15-20 minutes of stretching is beneficial. Walking is another way to keep fit.
My hair is super short and I let the grey come it and now have a few highlights to keep it bright and fresh. Aging isnāt fun but if you accept it and eat right it doesnāt have to be a negative time of life. Drink lots of water, take care of your skin and use sunscreen. I have a saying given to me by a physical therapist years ago. āNEVER, NEVER, NEVER STOP MOVING!ā Itās a motto I will follow the rest of my life. Namaste.
Love your comments Sailing Chef! …. esp. NEVER NEVER NEVER STOP Moving! I’m with you! Stay precious!…
Oh well done you. Good on you šš»šš»
I get front closure bras. They are EASY to put on with no fuss!!
I used to be just like you at your age. Extremely fit, doing back to back gym classes, yoga and palates, now in my late 70ās loosing my husband 3 years ago to cancer, I donāt seem to have the same motivation to go to the gym which we both did 5 times a week & bike ride on the weekends, now up a dress size.
š Health but not as fit. š
Iām so sorry to hear about your husband.
Trauma can change a lot of things. Keep moving, find other ways to move, walk a dog, yours or someone elseās, find a friend to walk with. It helps to stay committed.
So sorry to hear you lost your hubby. One dress size is not terrible! Just make the most of today and tomorrow will probably be good too.
I hear you on that. Iām 78 now. Lost my husband 4 yrs ago. At first I was thinning out the house trying to get ready for downsizing to a smaller home and a lot less land to take care of. Iām still not there after 4 yrs. Motivation is waning. Everyone seems to think Iām really slow at this which I am but itās a huge task with a shop and garage to handle also. Thereās wood to be split, a driveway to plow, a field and 12.000 sq foot lawn to maintain. I tried hiring some out but ended up doing it over myself. Iām not a perfectionist but no one seems to be on the same page as I am even with explicit directions. Snow on the fence, gravel on the lawn from someone else plowing. More work for me than itās worth trying to fix their mistakes. Every house I look at is smaller than mine but Iād have to pay more for it than Iād get out of my house and 20 acres. Friends have said donāt move itās not worth it. Iām beginning to think theyāre right. I canāt find the time to go to a gym anymore. Walking I can do although itās not steady, but I usually get in 2 miles just working around the house inside and out. I love my house and may just stay put till the Lord calls me home.
You were so lucky to have shared so many activities with your late husband, and no doubt itās a totally different life for you. My husband is not nearly as active as I am, so I am often solo outdoors , which is okay a lot of the time, but his company is good too. What I might suggest is that for your mental health, perhaps choose one favourite activity and get back into itā¦being with others could be very beneficial and help you physically too. I love my twice weekly Pilates , and the social aspect of seeing my enthusiastic partner and amazing instructor ,and sharing a few laughs while working out. I am 74 and life has certainly sent a few curve balls my wayā¦but I try to just get on with it! Hereās a hug going out to you Australia ā¤ļø
Iām sorry for your loss, but go back to the gym; you deserve to keep feeling good. Sending good vibes your way!
You are lucky!
All the comments was very helpful, Thanks im 69 will be 70 this year, Now every time i look in the mirror I’ll be reminded of what i read.Thanks again.
And don’t forget to wear your smile!
Thank you so much , thats what i do everyday. šā¤
I have found you look a lot younger when you smile and definitely feel younger!
Not everyone over six he has 1 foot in the grave. It would be great to see fashion and beauty for the elegant slim well maintained and active woman over 60.
Perhaps, you should make content for that demographic, eh?
Recently I stood in the elevator with one of my neighbors. She had her halting gait with her. We were talking about aging. She told me she was 78 and was sure I would be 10 years younger than she was. I doubted it and told her I was 83. She asked my what my secret was. I have no secret, I just do my exercises every morning, watch my diet and stay interested in the world. But then I realized I have something I am very happy about: 5 grandchildren in the age of 31 to 2 years. They all ask my attention according to their age. It can be very exhausting , shopping and going for lunch with the oldest and playing on the floor with the youngest of 5 and 2 years! But it keeps me fit and young.
By the way, spring is coming, don’t forget to use a sun-protector nr. 50 for your face and hands.
Advice of my dermatologist !
Elly
That’s fabulous Elly! Taking care of our health early certainly pays off in our aging years. Grandchildren are the very best!
Jennifer, I totally relate to you about the fine, thin hair. Also the bar as well. LOL
I would love to chat with you sometime.
Thatās so good to hear you say that, Iām 83 not particularly slim!šbut I love clothes and makeup, but most of all I love my family .I have nine grandchildren and two great granddaughters. They help to keep me young.
I dress in bright colours to please me and make me feel cheerful.
My grandchildren are Mostly grown up now, the youngest is ten years old. But they give me lots of joy, granddaughters keep me on my toes clothes and makeup wise.
Anne
In the summer when itās humid, or when a hot flash hits, itās very hard to slide any bra from front to back or back to front. Along with Soma, Bali has quite a few front hook bras with and without underwires. Thatās all I buy now.
I’m soon to be 79. But I’ve been yold I look 15 years younger. I have grownup and younger grandchildren. They keep my mind sharp. But I discovered creativity. I refurbish wood chairs. Sketch, and design pottery. This keeps me focused and boosts my self esteem. Hobbies are very important.
Good advice
Hi I found your blog very helpful. Iām 62 and snuggle with weight and dress. Thanks for the advice.
Mostly great advice! On shorter hair, yes in a more stylish way. Gel and hair products do help. But not all women look best in short. I tend to a longish short style now. I think for me, a bit longer is better. It does not hit my shoulders!
Mine is a bit longer these days too, but like you, it does not hit my shoulders.
A bob , I was told, made me look ten years younger than my short cut.
I will soon be seventy five, trying to dress my age and yet stylish. I am 5ā2ā and weigh 106, I just got a pixie haircut and have finally went from blond to gray! I am signing up to receive your post..
Welcome, Brenda!
I love everything about this post! I’m 69 and currently do most of my shopping at Old Navy! Love their sales and the way the clothes fit me. I feel cute, up to date, but not like I’m trying to look too young. Signed up to get your newsletter, hoping to connect more. ~Kathy
I need to check out Old Navy. Welcome Kathy
Definitely! I think they have a lot of pieces that work quite well for women over 60! Some how they make me look current, but not like I am trying to be a kid again. Love this blog and all the comments ā¤ļø
I will definitely try Old Navy never thought about it at 66!
But very disappointed in the styles out there for quite some time
Thanks
if I had a dollar for every time my mother said ” shoulders back, head straight ” I’d not be wondering about myself and appearances .I’m 81 and now saying those same words to my husband with PD. Appearance is so important for so many reasons. Keep on marching girls!!
You’re right, Mimi. Posture is so very important!!
You are right MIMI. My mom told me the same things for years. She threatened me with wearing a leather strap around my neck attached to a stick. It never got to that.
Iām am 84 now with back problems, so itās more difficult to walk straight, but I am trying.
Mimi.
Poor Queen Victoria was CD required to wear a flower with thorns under her chin to remind her to sit up straight as she did her schoolwork, some 8-10 hours of it!
These tips hit the nail on the head … especially the fourth one. I just invested in a few pieces that make me feel pretty with my more “round” figure, but they will still look great and hang well even if I hopefully manage to drop a few of these menopause pounds. In the meantime, I am also taking up your advice on putting those smaller-sized clothing items away until I can fit in them again. It is nothing but depressing to stare at them everyday!
Excellent tips. Iād add comfortable but stylish footwear to the list. Itās much easier to be and stay active if you can walk without your feet being pinched or aching. A halting gait can be unnecessarily aging and preventable with quality and well fitting shoes.
Rena
I agree on proper fitting, supportive footwear. That doesnāt mean dowdy in todayās market. My current favorite brands are Taos, Teva, Vionic and Gentle Souls. I taught my daughters (age 44 & 34), who as teachers are on their feet all day, to buy the best quality footwear they could afford. Theyāve both told me what a difference this has made for their backs and legs.
Totally agree, but there are those of us on tight budgets. My go-to-shoes? Skechers. Hands down.
Iām 68 and Iāve noticed two things that absolutely age me 10 years, no matter what clothes, make up or hairstyle Iām wearing , and that is my facial expression and my posture.
I have auto immune conditions that cause constant fatigue and body aches. I find myself stopping and grimacing a lot. Looking really haggard and old!! Yuck!! So Iām making a concerted effort to stand and move more gracefully and be aware of my face. I have found I actually feel better doing this. Not to mention that small children donāt run from me crying as much. ?
I’m so sorry to hear about your pain. You’re a brave lady and so right…our facial expressions make a huge difference.
Thank you for reminding us to watch our posture and to pull ourselves up tall! As I watch same-age people move, the ones who look most vibrant are the ones who are NOT hunched over the grocery cart, but rather the ones who stand tall with shoulders back and who move with as much grace as the sometimes achy body permits. I have had the good fortune of having a fitness instructor at my YMCA who reminds us of this. Now I hear her voice in my head every time I find myself slumping.
I hear my mom’s!!!!
So do I!! I have been told by former work friends that I glide when I walk..such aa great compliment!
Oh I’m so glad u said that. I’m 59 and high spirited. Quite work 7 yrs ago bad back. I still try to do some things thru pain. It’s hard and I feel the look of pain on my face. So I made an effort to not let it show. Still in pain but I look good. Thanks for hearing me.
Whats your secret? I have a back injury . Permanent debilitating pain. How do I the look on my face.
I to have terrible back pain. I try not to let it show but sometimes when you hurt so bad it is hard.
I have noticed that women with ‘patterned skin’ i.e., wrinkles, spots, non-clear complexion, look great in clothing that is more delicately patterned, like a heather weave. Think of the tiny delicate pattern of a lightweight Chanel style woven jacket, or a heather wool sweater. A satin weave, on the other hand, shines a bright light on non-smooth skin. So I’d choose a silk crepe blouse over a silk satin one, for example, especially near the face.
Props to Imogen Lamport at Inside Out Style blog for this insight.
Ever thought of that but a very insightful comment!
If you wear glasses itās important to keep them in an up to date style. Itās amazing how confident and stylish that can make you feel.
Exactly!!
Please tell ladies to stop wearing leggings, unless they are going to the Gym! Itās been almost a 40 year trend!! Enuf already!!
I know what you mean. There are leggings and then there are tights masquerading as leggings which belong under a dress or long top. Modest leggings are helpful and popular with women who have health and mobility challenges so it’s all in the styling.
I am not sure Jennifer meant we should have really short hair. My hair is a little longer bob now – an inch below my ears – and I got so many compliments lately from people who have known me for years. Also so many well dressed women have that āI slept on the back of my headā scrubby part in their hair. We really have to check the back of our head! Perhaps wet it a little and brush it out or blow dry that section. Maybe a hair stylist can speak up.
And I love my pearls so much! Itāll be hard to jazz them up.
Totally agree that a little longer bob is actually more flattering on some of us and, sometimes, really short can be aging. Everyone is different! Moisturizer, sunscreen and a bra that perks you up are all necessary. I can’t emphasize enough, though, that exercise and proper eating can allow you to maintain your figure and mobility. Too many people “cover-up” their “assumed” older woman weight gain or distribution when actually losing those extra pounds makes you look younger than ever. I think that’s important for everyone’s health including young people.
My hair is down to my waist! Longest itās ever been. Still original colour except a few greys on the side. Iām 62. I find itās easier to clip up being so long. I love wearing it down but feel others think Iām trying to be young.
Other people’s opinion isn’t what counts. If you love it, you should wear it.
I know what you mean! A woman I saw had a stylish short stacked gray bob. The back of her hair was sticking up AND flattened, as though she only combed the front and sides after sleeping on her back! I always use a hand mirror to look at the back of my Bob.
I see that slept on my back look everywhere! You’re so right…a quick spray of water and blow dry freshens that whole look up.
True! I always use my standing mirror to check the back of my hair before I am ready to go! This is important if you have a shorter layered cut.
I slide an up to date pendant on my pearls and it looks great.
I love pearls and truly believe that they DO NOT age women. If anything, they
provide us with a touch of class no matter what outfits we might wear. In addition, this beautiful whiteness of pearls brings much needed life and light to our complexion.
Thank you for standing up for pearls! I totally agree – they add a touch of class!
What do you recommend for those bleeding lipstick lines?
Michele, I found a miracle product about 10 years ago! It is DuWop Reverse Lipliner, a clear pencil yourself to line outside your lips. I literally put it on once in the morning and my lipstick never bleeds the rest of the day…even red. You can order it from Sephora, Amazon, etc. One pencil lasts me about 8 months, and I literally do use it every day. Iām 66 and have lines from drinking through straws!
Does drinking with straws cause wrinkles? I have been using straws for years to prevent drinks from staining my teeth. Maybe I should stop!
It can cause pucker lines just like smoking can.
I line and fill my lips with a pencil then cover with Jane Iredale stay on Lipfixation. Then I add lipstick but not all the way to the edges. No gloss for me…ever.
a little foundation is helpful.
Always! š
I donāt know if I can mention a brand on this blog, but I would refer you to the London based makeup company, Look Fabulous Forever. Go to their site. Not only do they sell an excellent product to apply before lipstick to keep lines of color from creeping away from your lips, they have excellent videos to show you exactly how to use each of their products.
Another thing I think is important to health and appearance, is proper dental care. Keeping your teeth is important to the structure of your face. Clean teeth, not necessarily bleached, are a must for times you are near people. With pretty teeth, your are more likely to smile a genuine smile.
Yes! Teeth are so very important!
Yes to the new bras! It is said that the bust should sit midway between your elbow and shoulder. Mine were headed south! I am average in bust size, but did go with an underwire for the first time. It is a little more uncomfortable at first, but after a bit you do get used to it. It really does improve the shape of things! Macy’s did offer a helpful bra fitting.
Okay, so I’m not yet in my sixties, but I am a “mature” woman š and all of your tips are absolutely on point — especially never too late to start taking care of your skin! But I gotta say I think women need to kick to the curb that whole “mutton dressed as lamb” thing. If a garment is flattering to you (i.e. fits right and suits your body). is appropriate for the occasion, and (most importantly) is your style, you should feel free to wear it. I expect to wear thigh-high boots, skinnies and dusters into my 70s — not because I’m trying to look like a lamb, but because it’s my style.
I agree! That “rule” is someone else idea of what works for women. We need to wear what makes us happy that we feel confident wearing.
Now this comment rite here! I guess some of u all would gasp at my clothes and shoes then. Whatever I can find to fit my extra long legs is what I wear. It can be hard finding pants long enough. I wear whatever I want as long as I’m not showing too much. I got my leggings and my long gray weave and my thigh high š¢. Lol. Wear what u want!!!
It is really hard to find cloths especially pants long enough. I wear 38 and 40 length pants, my jeans are mostly mens pants the only ones who have that length. Usually womaens extra long pants are 34 length and looks like i am waiting for a flood.
Amen to that sister!
I so agree with you Jennifer on the hair cut short! The older we get our hair should be shorter! Yes, we need a good bra (usually spending more to get) that fits properly, it makes all the difference in the way you look.
Thank you for this “reminder” post!
Iām not recommending short hair. Iām suggesting that if you do wear yours short, you wear it in a modern style.
Absolutely! I love my shoulder length hair. Itās still full and makes me feel amazing. Thatās the key…feeling amazing whatever your style!
Thank goodness I can say yes, I do all of those! My local department store had a Wacoal Fit for the Cure. My fitter was excellent and brought me at least 15 different Wacoal styles to try before we found the perfect fit. It definitely made my figure look younger and thinner! Sometimes I think about if Princess Diana were still alive, what a fashion icon we would have had to emulate since sheād be almost 60 now.
Princess Diana was very chic and stylish. I’m fairly certain she’d still be that way at 60.
Princess Diana had people to dress her appropriately!
Roxanne… I too wear Wacoal bras….after trying so many over the years, I finally found the one bra thatās comfy, it brings the girls right where they belong., straps stay put. I wear underwire….. I LOVE these!
I wear jeans a lot and button down shirts. It’s hard because I live in a small town where a trip to Wal-Mart is a big deal. I play racquetball 2 to 3 x a week so I wear shorts and gym shirt and then come home and clean up to either sweats or shorts.
Very simple and great suggestions. I am amazed at how many ladies have never had a “professional” bra fitting. I’m not talking about a salesperson working at a store that takes 2 measurements and dictates a size, but someone who understands the female body and how breasts change during life and how different body shapes need different means of support. After years of having fittings in a department store or a famous all pink looking “lingerie” store, I made an appointment with a professional bra fitter. The difference was absolutely amazing. I see mature women all around me with no support. I understand comfort, but a poorly fitting bra is very uncomfortable and unflattering as well. Thanks for your realistic posts.
Support is critical!
I have found if I buy bras that hook in front Iām in business. I also went to a sport bra to provide the support I need. Iām 80 and have very short hair that is grey. I use a shampoo that is for grey and blond hair. It is purple and give my hair the sheen and luster without the purple look. Iām conservative in my dress and try to stay in the fashion of the day. I also use yoga exercises just about every morning before I get out of bed. I take violin lesson and play with the local university symphony orchestra. I love every day!
You sound amazing Mary Ann! Way to go.
Where do you find these store to special fit a bra?
All fine department stores have bra fitting specialists as do stores like Soma.
Where did you find a professional bra fitter?
Most major department store and specialty lingerie store have professional bra fitters. My Macys has a great team there.
Good tips, but I have questions about the jewelry tip. Might it depend on the type of look you want? If my style icon is Audrey Hepburn, might that understated classic jewelry be exactly the ticket? True, it’s not contemporary, but does it really make me dated? If it matters, I’m not quite petite (5’5″, size 6) and I sometimes I feel like bolder jewelry is wearing ME, not the other way around.
Yes, it absolutely depends on your style goals. Audrey had a clean aesthetic with tiny classics. She often paired them with dramatic hats, gloves and head scarves which elevated her style to something trendier and eye catching.
Thanks for the input, Jennifer! I’ll have to think more about adding pops of the dramatic!
Good tips. Thanks. I want to see the cute outfit you had on in the opening picture but itās covered wit a large white caption. Thatās a tease.
My first thought was that after 60 you really must wear clothes but hey, we’re all different! Just started using daily moisturizer and I sure agree about the hair cut and the bra. Your advice is timely and on point. Thanks, Jennifer and have a lovely weekend!
Lol! Have a great weekend Susan
Your advice is so right on all six counts! A professional bra fitting is on my to do list. Thanks so much!!!
The best advice! Thank you. -and I had a recent bra fitting analysis and ordered that size in a bra specialty store. The bras fit fine! While at a department store I saw a cute lacy bra in another brand but same size and it didn’t fit! Not close. I checked and re-checked the size label to see that it matched the paper tag. It did. So different fit in different manufacturers even with a professional fitting. And it was recent! Be careful…..
Great post, Jennifer — full of such timely and true information! I need to jump on that moisturizer train, pronto!
