FabSwingers.com forum: Age appropriate dress

By (user no longer on site) OP

In the supermarket carpark yesterday i saw a gorgeous woman well into her sixties wearing a miniskirt that finished at mid thigh over bare legs. She was also wearing a suit jacket on top.

I thought she looked so classy and hot but i understand many find this inappropriate for her age. What's your view?

If you liked her outfit why start such a negative thread about it?

If she was happy, and was not indecently exposing herself to young or unwilling bystanders, why should she be shamed into wearing what society expects her to wear?

I, for one, support any and all women that want to wear short skirts, suit jackets, or anything revealing for the matter

No such thing as age appropriate in adults, wear what your comfortable with and what makes you feel good.

Wear what you like and feel good in. Age should not play a factor in anything.

If someone else doesn't like it, that's their issue. Fuck 'em!

I used to know a little old lady in London years ago who dressed head to foot in black leather. Trousers, biker jacket, topped off with a red beret and aviator shades. She must've been in her late seventies at the time. This was in the mid nineties

I was just thinking about starting a thread in a similar vein because of a conversation I was having with our daughter

I think people should wear exactly what they want to wear but I do adjust what I wear bearing my age in mind. I wouldn't wear a mini skirt out without opaque tights or leggings because *I* don't like how my legs look in them but for reasons that I can't explain I am perfectly happy in short shorts. People frequently comment on my clothes because they are often not what they expect a woman of my age to wear. They rarely comment negatively...to my face and if they did I'd laugh and ignore them.

I've said this before the only thing women (and men) over a certain age shouldn't wear is the weight of other people's expectations.

In fairness to the OP he has not started a negative thread. He gave his opinion which supports the title of the thread and then he requested opinions. Requesting opinions is not being negative. There will be mixed opinions within the thread as with any other topic opened for discussion.

I might be reading the op differently to other people but I don't think he's being judgemental. He's described the woman as gorgeous and classy. Other people do think differently, I've heard people criticise older women for wearing revealing clothes or say things like "she's too old to wear that". I also heard older men roundly criticised for wearing their baseball cap backwards

I think you don't realise until you are old that you're exactly the same inside as you always were, maybe a little wiser. It's just the outside that radically changes, so if you like a certain way of dressing you always will

I wasn't counting caps, coats and shoes as they aren't the main items of clothes.

Yes, they do add to the outfit, and can make it, but ladies still have a much larger selection of styles within those categories.

Not really,women wear jeans, joggers, tee shirts etc as standard. The only difference I can see is they're "allowed" to wear dresses and heels!

What would be an example? Like an older guy on a designer tracksuit? Men (some, not all) dress pretty much the same whatever age they are. Them showing a bit of flesh isn't seen as provocative.

Everyone should wear what they want of course but for me personally I wouldn’t. I think there’ll come a time in the not too distant future where the long blonde hair will have to go. I think it looks awful on old women (personal opinion I might add). Same with clothes. It just doesn’t look nice to me.

I don't take much notice what people wear in supermarket car parks, but maybe I should, could be very entertaining.

Women and men can wear what they want in a public place provided it's within the law. Wear what you're comfortable in and what makes you feel good is my motto, and not to please other people.

I get what your saying though. Menfolk are often still expected to dress down a bit.

You'll often see me dressed quite conservatively in Harris t jacket and flat cap. I do have to compliment the look with a leopard print cravat though, just to make sure people don't get the "wrong idea" about me!

No, no. I completely agree. I'm not sure how this came across as a negative post. I wrote that i thought she looked great.

I believe people should be free to dress however they choose and i certainly don't subscribe to the age appropriate notion. I'm just quoting what i've been told on numerous occasions (and always by women) and asking for opinions. Nothing more.

I'll be honest I will probably have long hair until I'm 99, I might tone the colour down a bit and go for a couple of foils in with the white or just go completely white. My concession will be to wear it up in a chignon or loose bun.

I do wear baseball caps, I wear all sorts of hats, I don't wear mini skirts, I wear bikinis. I do have a wobble now and again with certain things and this year I put a couple of dresses away that I just think "no"

I do feel out of place in a younger person clothing shop, but that’s about it. As a guy I dress as an old rocker and probably will continue to do well into my old age.

On quite a few occasions when i've been out and about with women they've commented on what other women are wearing, saying that they're too old to wear that. On others when i've been out clothes shopping with them and pointed out what i think is i nice outfit they've their too old themselves.

I wear what I want, but finding what I want can be a nightmare in the morning, depending on how I feel. Guys my age try to slate me for what I wear, but they have been pregnant from 20+ years and get someone else to buy their clothes, usually in the middle asile at Aldi.

My motto should be: Bright n Tight.

"In the supermarket carpark yesterday i saw a gorgeous woman well into her sixties wearing a miniskirt that finished at mid thigh over bare legs. She was also wearing a suit jacket on top.

I thought she looked so classy and hot but i understand many find this inappropriate for her age. What's your view?"

Wear what she wants.

I always wonder why people post threads like this...

Only wear em cause wanna be taller. But these days I’m of the opinion I don’t much care. "

I don't understand why a short skirt would be inappropriate on anyone.

It's a fucking thigh.

Why do people always have to sexualise shit like a leg?

It's not like she had her tits and minge out in the frozen aisle.

I'm willing to bet that most people would at least raise an eyebrow at an 85 year old woman in shorts and a crop top.

One of my besties is in her early 70s

She doesn’t look it, she always looks very glamorous, she has blonde shoulder length hair, she can wear anything and look great in it. She’s about a size 10 max

I think it’s all about how you feel, HOW you dress not what you dress in and knowing your limits …..

"Sometimes I think I possibly dress too young for my age...but at the end of the day I don't care. If I like something I wear it."

From your pictures you would look great in anything, however 'young looking'!

I feel like the OP was questioning why different age groups are expected to wear certain types of clothes. It is interesting to think about. The unwritten rules of society and all that…

My look from my teens to my early 30’s was band tshirt, black jeans and converse. I tried the who age appropriate thing and just didn’t feel like me. So reverted back to what I like…. Band Tshirt, Black Jeans and converse!!

Who cares what people wear. If they’re happy then that’s all that counts!!

If she felt good and you thought she looked good then she was good.

I just don't understand this. If OP thought she looked good but also thought some people might find it inappropriate then why purposely try and invite those latter opinions?

Obviously most if not all poster on this thread have stated the wearer's age is irrelevant, but just seems odd to me.

What is sexual about tits?

To answer your question, society decides what is or isn't sexual and it changes over time. Within that society there will be a range of opinions. For you, clearly legs aren't sexual but tits are, for others legs are just as sexual. Why is the line you draw any more special than that drawn by others?

In what way did he 'purposely try and invite the latter opinion'?

He very clearly expressed his opinion, said that he is aware others think differently and then asked what people on the forum think.

I'm really struggling to understand either your initial response or this one of I'm honest.

For everyone else criticising the OP (who incidentally hasn't said a bad word about anyone) before you attack him, please consider if you've ever had a negative thought about someone else's appearance/dress sense. It is far easier to tell others they shouldn't judge what other people look like than it is to stop ourselves doing exactly that. And this includes backwards baseball caps.

I'm sorry you feel this way and also apologise for any offence this post caused to everyone.

In answer to your question i was inviting opinions in general, not specifically the latter. I thought this was clear in my choice of words but it seems not.

Unfortunately OP on the forums lately you will always get some people take offence at whatever words a poster uses.
