Poll: How old is too old to wear a ...?
Replies

A UK diet company called Diet Chef recently did a poll asking people when they should stop wearing certain things. Bikini, miniskirt, UGG boots…they asked about it all.
But if you want to see what other people think here's when you're too old to wear ...
• Bikini – 47
• Miniskirt – 35
• Tube top – 33
• Stilettos – 51
• Belly button ring – 35
• Knee-high boots – 47
• Leather pants – 34
• Leggings – 45
• UGG boots – 45
• See-through blouse – 40
• One-piece bathing suit – 61
• Long hair – 53
• Ponytail – 51
Your thoughts?
1. You're never too old for a pony tail. Ever. It's a matter of convenience, not necessarily style.
2. Who wrote the law that when you reach middle age (ladies), long hair is suddenly a faux pas? I call BS. I'm keeping my long hair until I die or I can't brush it anymore, whichever comes first.
3. Stilettos should be a staple in any fashionable woman's wardrobe, no matter her age. If I can maintain my balance in old age, you bet your *kitten* I'll be rocking a pair.
4. One piece bathing suit? Really? What else am I going to swim in when I'm 98?? Pshhh...
5. The rest of those items listen should be used sparingly by everyone, regardless of age.0 -

I'm 40. In a miniskirt, sheer blouse, and if you look close enough, you may see my naval piercing.

I basically agree with most of them, but there are a few...
Ponytails are so convenient, although yeah, after about 50 wearing your hair up in a ponytail as a legitimate hairstyle (as in, "I did this on purpose this morning" and not "i want this s*** out of my face while I work out/clean the house/etc") is a little iffy.
See-through blouses, tube tops, leggings (as pants - no issue with wearing them under skirts/dresses for modesty), and UGG boots just shouldn't be worn by anyone, ever. I have yet to see an example of any of these that hasn't looked trashy, especially see-through clothes. If I can see your bra (or your breasts, for that matter!) and we're not in da club, go put a god damned real shirt on. Even the slightly-sheer oxford-style shirts that have become bizarrely popular, if not only because nothing else is available, look bad on everyone, in my opinion.
One-piece bathing suits...I don't really understand this one? Are people older than 60 just never supposed to go swimming again? Do they even still sell the 1940s-style bathing costumes that cover you from neck to knee, with the half-sleeves? I guess there are degrees of modesty for one-pieces. The alternative is skinny-dipping old people. You're welcome for that mental image.0 -

A good example of how to wear those items appropriately! :drinker:0 -
Interesting how this is just about women's clothing. Men can wear jeans and a t-shirt their whole life and no one will ever mention it. Fashion is weird.
Unless you're Stacy or Clinton... :glasses:
A man will always look good in tasteful jeans and a t-shirt, but as he matures, adding a few more mature pieces to the wardrobe makes for a nice touch :bigsmile:0 -

LOVE it!!0 -
Amen, but if you aren't sure, take a picture of yourself in whatever you are wondering about and look at it. Often I will think I look just fine until I see a picture of myself and realize that the outfit makes me look ridiculous. I'm 54, I still wear long hair, but most of the other stuff I gave up decades ago.0

Per this list I'm too old to wear everything but the one piece swimsuit. Guess they just want all us sexy old ladies naked! :bigsmile:0

It is hard to say, Ithink it all depends on the woman and her body. There is a fine line between really looking good and looking silly as hell!

• Bikini – age doesn't matter, i think confidence and your body determine it
• Miniskirt – doesn't matter. if its too short its trashy no matter what age you are
• Tube top – Strapless dresses?? anyone can wear those as long as you can still go braless or wear a strapless bra
• Stilettos – no age limit!
• Belly button ring – NEVER. trashy at any age.
• Knee-high boots – no age limit
• Leather pants – uhhh.... no one should wear leather pants. leather shorts could look hot if you're in your 20s though
• Leggings – no age limit. my grandma is in her 70s and she goes to the gym with leggings and a big shirt and she still looks hot
• UGG boots – NEVER. i hate those things.
• See-through blouse – doesn't matter. as long as it is done tastefully.
• One-piece bathing suit – no age limit. would you rather see an old lady in a bikini?
• Long hair – no age limit
• Ponytail – no age limit. I want to be that old lady with the long flowing silver hair and if i want to put my hair in a ponytail when i'm 80, i'll do it!

Except for the last three, I don't feel confident enough to wear ANY of these things EVER. I'm just not the right type, and I hate attracting attention.
I wore leather pants when I owned and drove a motorcycle, but that was strictly for safety reasons.0 -

They want all the old ladies to go back to bikinis at 61 then? That doesn't sound right....0 -
I'm reposting before looking at anyone else's ideas, so here goes:
• Bikini – not really age-specific, more depends on body type unfortunately
• Miniskirt – 30
• Tube top – 27
• Stilettos – 40
• Belly button ring – never? seriously, 25
• Knee-high boots – 47
• Leather pants – 30
• Leggings – 35
• UGG boots – 35
• See-through blouse – 30
• One-piece bathing suit – never too old - everyone loves to swim
• Long hair – depends on the person but generally no age limit
• Ponytail – no age limit0 -
Hmmm - first of all I LOVE my Uggs and Im 41 - and I live in the freakin frozen tundra so....BUT I wear what I want and what makes ME feel sexy/playful/comfortable.....and I LIKE how I dress and I think thats all that matters - and the Bathing suit thing I just spent a week in Florida with a 65 year old woman who looked AMAZING and according to this she should have shriveled up and not got in the ocean......0
-
awsome i still have time to finnaly wear all of that!!!0
-
Wait wait... so after 61... i cant wear a one piece bathing suit according to this... and certainly not a bikini...at 61 (though I'm not that age, but I will be eventually), a bikini would be way out of line. So i'm guessing when i turn 62 i should just go swimming nude????0
-
Thank God I have 10 more yrs for the bikini. I am afraid I have overstepped miniskirts though. Whoops... X I dont think I'll be able to give them up though. LOL0
-
woo-hoo! I'm not too old for anything on that list, yet!0

wouldn't it be grand to ever see us advance enough as a people to find value in a woman beyond her appearance? Women have always been valued primarily on their appearance first, and everything else second (if at all. rolls eyes). Hopefully, things will continue to change, and a woman's appearance will not be the primary source of her value.
Males are also valued based on their appearance,
but, not to the extent a woman is. nope.
odder yet, the notion someone else would get to choose who wears what at what age? rofl.
I'm all for a person wearing whatever they want to wear. If they present as odd or in an unflattering way to those who prioritize such things, then it's up to that person to decide if risking being judged by others negatively is more important to that person than their urge to wear whatever.
Beauty IS in the eye of the beholder. As is what makes a person special and valuable.
Look around. The person you mock, might be seen as all that by yet another person, who knows?
What a culture we live in, where people like Paris Hilton and Kardashians are somehow seen as interesting by way way too many ppl,
and women with powerful brains and Amazing Accomplishments still face others putting value on their appearance.
Seems backwards to me, always has. And no, i wore a string bikini at age 50, and rocked it. (can't right NOW, nope! that's why i am here, lol! but, i was a hottie for decades, but even then, something in me was turned off to conversations or mindsets which emphasized a woman's value as somehow related to her appearance, always bothered me.)
It's just worth considering if we really want to participate in adding to the way women of all ages are too often valued for their external appearance, imo, from the young young and very vulnerable teens, to the older women, maybe it's time we begin to support and emphasize other attributes to focus on, imho.
A wave of change can begin with drops, be part of a wave of change! Your daughters might thank you someday for your attitude and for trying to turn on lights when you could, who knows.0 -
• One-piece bathing suit – 61
What are you supposed to wear after that?????0 -

Clearly people die after 61. :-P0 -
I think that if you like it, feel good in it, and don't show anything genitalia-related, you're golden to wear whatever the fruck you want.
^^^ this one - if you like it and look good in it , then I say FRUCK IT 2! As a guy, I will say this - if it looks hot on you, I'll be lookin!
