Stylish Seniors That Prove Age Is Just A Number

Being "stylish" is a matter of taste.
I love the classical styles that never age and I loved seeing my Father and now my hubby in a Savile Row suit.
Where the well and best dressed Englishman gets his togs...

He has kept his hair, not a grey streak in sight.
Another octogenarian has been in the press of
late, his hair might have succumbed to age but
at eighty-one he must have found the famous
elixir of youth, how does he do it?

Jagger is still very energetic on stage but he doesn't look so good! Just sayin.....

Brigitte Bardot, often referred to by her initials B.B., is a former actress and model who in her later years became a French animal rights activist. Famous for portraying intimately emancipated characters, often with hedonistic lifestyles, she was one of the best known sex symbols of the 1950's and 1960's. Brigitte will be 89 in September.

Do you know, I rather like her latter appearance, she's been something of a recluse, doesn't court publicity, knows how shallow the industry, that brought her fame, is and that look towards camera is like a defiant middle finger gesture.

Nowadays Trish, jeans, tee shirts and trainers are the order of the day. Even our bank staff wear tennis style sports shirts with the bank logo. The casual appearance is so commonplace that anyone who dresses in what was once known as, Sunday best, will attract many a stare. And if you should wear a hat, a real hat, not a back to front cap but one with a brim, "are you from Mars?"

I’ve always liked a tamed down version of the Edwardian resonance style with a hint of Goth. It’s not something I would want to wear everyday but occasionally it’s nice to feel extra feminine.

I love those @PeppermintPatty although not sure about the pink one with the white petticoat. There's a lady in New York who posts on YouTube and that's very like her style. Not everyone could carry it off but, for those who can, it looks so stylish :)

Thanks Trish. This style doesn’t really suit short people. The style needs height to pull it off. I wasn’t going to add the peachy pink one but every once in a while I like wearing a very feminine colour plus I kind of liked the petticoat thing. I’ve always liked fancy slips but it IS a bit too long. A rich burgundy would probably look nicer though.
 
After looking at all those photos of very attractive older women i have to ask how you people go into my photo album of past girl friends. :)

Many of the photos look professionally done with make-up and hair stylists on the side just out of sight while they wait for fix any slight imperfection before the shutter button is pressed. IOW, they are not the real world. Give me a person who looks good at the coffee shop, hardware store, or park without needing an army of specialists.

I don‘t think dressing very loudly means one is looking good. I think it means one likes to wear loud garish clothing. That’s OK, if you like.

I find the best looking older people are those who keep fit, wear stylish clothing, have an accent to how they dress, and don’t make a big deal about it. Good grooming is also important. This is especially true for men as we get very carelous as we age, especially if we live alone. Nose hair and ear air sprouting from our head is just not a good look. Nor is wearing worn jeans, olive drab sweat shirts, and worn shabby shoes. This goes for women also. Nothing is worse than seeing as somewhat heavy but otherwise attractive woman wearing yoga pants as she pushes her shopping cart through the grocery store. It’s like seeing an old guy wearing a stained ’wife beater’ underwear shirt that show off his arm pits. Gross!
