[@StylewithSerena]

[@inezrosario226]

If an older woman is confident in her skin and carries herself with dignity and respect, her choice of clothing style is secondary. I had an aunt who dressed beautifully, wore the same profile clothing style and the same short, poker straight bob with straight bangs, and the same jewelry her whole life. Only her shoes would change. She had her own signature look that never went out of style. It never mattered to her what was trending. There wasn't a person who ever met her who forgot her and not a single soul who ever said she looked old or outdated. She was a fashion icon, true to herself. She was never a slave to fashion. She was a lady. That's what people noticed. Unforgettable. Classic.

[@ashash3368]

@@inezrosario226 I understand what you are saying to a point - this vid is to a general audience. Your aunt is not average. I agree with the part on here about the capri elastic waist with no butt definition, is not flattering on really anyone. I don't agree with every single thing she says because there're are a few exceptions here- but I am glad you had a stylish aunt, love it!

[@inezrosario226]

The most beautiful accessory a woman of any age can do to update her wardrobe is to wear a smile on a welcoming face. No one will remember what you were wearing, but they will remember how you made them feel. My mother once told me this: "If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours." 🙂🙂🙂 Instant face lift and one for the soul. And now you look gorgeous! ❤ 😉

I will always look like a well groomed lady in the colors I love and go well with my skin tone. I have heard "women" comment about matchy-matchy. It is a mater of taste.

Great style and grooming points to consider. Thank you.

[@MillieJones-e2w]

As a petite elderly lady, I want to dress with style and quiet elegance. I would never wear garish prints and florals and capri pants. This lady gives very good style points. I keep it simple, and own easy to cross match a few quality pieces. I shop outlets for better quality clothing and designers that I otherwise could not afford. French ladies know how to keep a chic style - stripped sweater, scarf and dark pants.

[@LindasGirl]

I recently turned 65. I look 10-15 years younger. But your tough love hit home for me on a couple of issues. This was a great video. God bless you.

[@paulawood9098]

I think ladies here, who simply don’t care how they present themselves, should move on. Your video was spot on, in my book. The negative comment ladies completely missed the most important point…a woman is PERCEIVED as uninformed & irrelevant when she ages. People can brush you aside, ignore you & overlook you if you allow them to. Read up on this. It’s a real thing! I, for one, enjoy styles & taking care of myself. If style & fashion aren’t your thing, then why are you following or commenting here???

[@lizpetruzzi7700]

I agree with all of these. It really isn’t about clothes, it’s about looking and feeling your best. Approaching life with energy and zest. I see so many older women with what I call “I give up” style. They obviously have stopped caring. When I see a vibrant, older (older than 55 me) stylish woman I instantly am drawn to her. The impression is she’s still doing things and has interests. I find it inspiring.

I love your suggestions! I don’t have to do it but at least, I can take same for consideration when I will do next shopping. Haircut, i love long hair, they are comfortable because you can pin them up( I am 76) but I can any more. I have two chins, my neck is shorter then it use to be. We have to pay attention how much we changed. Your vidio is very wake up to reality !!!

[@michelle75504]

The problem with pants especially jeans, is that a lot of middle age women have waistlines that are larger so we have to go up a size or two to fit the stomach area, but then they look too large in the back and legs. If we get a smaller size, then our butt and thighs look good, but they don't zip or button over the stomach! Even a smaller size with elastic is still too small oftentimes in the stomach. This was never a problem until after menopause. So i'm sure a lot of the older women you mentioned that are wearing pants that look like that, aren't doing it intentionally. I would give anything to buy a normal size of pants that fit everywhere comfortably and look good! I'm not even overweight, just weird shape now 😂

[@carlacooke3715]

I would say that maybe finding a great tailor can help with this issue. Or a department store that still offers alterations. Just an idea 😊

[@annasutton8078]

If only more jeans zipped up at the side. Then our tummy areas wouldn't look so bulky.

Chicos jeans are a great option. The waists are much more forgiving.

Hello, I’m 57, and as a black woman I don’t really deal with redness on my face as I age, but it has gotten dull in areas, so I use highlighting makeup, and even a pretty bronzer to bring a glow and a balance to my skin tone. I also really agree with you about making sure your hair styles are current, and compliment the shape of your face. I like chin length hair because it tends to make people look up and gives a more youthful appearance.😊

This was such a good video.✨🌼

[@samrittenhouse]

GREAT video, Serena! In the same vein as: "if you don't like your tummy, do something about it", I'd add that if one's complexion is a concern, it's never too late to start practicing better skincare. Six years ago, at age 59, after a lifetime of ignoring my complexion and struggling with cystic acne, rosacea and skin picking, I started a consistent gentle routine of 2x daily face wash, moisturizer and sunscreen. And I keep my hands off my face. It has done WONDERS for my skin barrier and my complexion. Looking back at photos from ten years ago, my skin looks remarkably smoother and more even now, and it feels fantastic! Good skincare does not have to be expensive, either. I also wear gloves to do dishes and gardening so my hands aren't chapped and rough, and I give myself a little "spa-day" foot treatment once or twice a week to keep my feet looking healthy and smooth. It's never too late to start taking good care of yourself. All the best!

I agree with almost everything you suggest. As women age many of them develop a large stomach due to hormones. I am a thin 80 year old woman who works out regularly, but I have a large stomach. There is no waist left. A belted pant with a tucked in blouse would look just awful on me accentuating a most unattractive aspect of my body. There is no exercise that will remedy this. The only answer is a long, looser top or in colder weather a jacket.

Great video and I agree with all of your tips. My dear sweet mother used to wear Alfred Dunner and I admit that every time I walk by them in a store, I smile. I would never wear them, but they make me happy to see them. Also, it’s probably just me because everybody else seems to love them, but I absolutely hate the ankle pants. I have never seen anyone that I thought they were flattering on. Short, tall, thin, chunky, to me they all look bad. I look at them and think, “oh dear your pants have shrunk up”. I even tried them on, hoping I might like them, but I do not.

[@carolhill8917]

My mom wore Alfred Dunner coordinated outfits, too. Mostly in pastels. It brings memories of my mom when I walk by the AD department. She would've been a 100 last year. She never wore jeans and floral tops, if they were around back in 80s, 90s.

When I was younger (I am 83) I fretted over looking stylish. Now comfort reigns. With my expiration date looming close, being on the right side of the grass is more important than fashion. I am petite. I love the ankle pants. On me they are the perfect full length. I do not dye my hair, layer on makeup, spend hours in a hair salon. There is an old saying, “If we put lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig.” Being old does not make us pigs, but fussing too much over our clothes will not make us appear younger. A healthy diet and exercise are the only methods that help.

Love all these suggestions Serena. I'm a young 69 & feel comfortable in demin pants; differnt styles & colours, most of the time. Adding a nice top, nice shoes & accessories can make such a difference to upgrade my look, perhaps adding a non denim crop jacket or blazer. I've been slowly losing hair due to chemo these past 6 mnths. Thankfully I've not gone completely bald yet, still have my bangs so wear a ball cap every day & my collection has grown. Once my hair grows back I'm sure my style will change once again (tho I've always loved a ball cap on bad hair days.......bit of laziness maybe🤭 Thank you for all your hard work, your suggestions are alwaysgreatly appreciated!

Hi Serena 👋 I'm home most days, gardening, cleaning house, hauling groceries in the heat, and doing DIY projects in the garage. I'm also a deep autumn and live in Texas. I'm overheating most days between Rosacea and menopause. I'd like to look a bit more stylish with my lifestyle. Please do a video on casual clothes we can wear walking and doing more active things in the yard. Thanks. 😊

[@uscitizen898]

It sounds like your lifestyle just means to wear whatever is comfortable doing those tasks. I dress to do my chores too; we have an orchard and vineyard plus other outside areas (lawn, flowerbeds) to take care of as well as shoveling snow in winter. BUT when I go out shopping, church, lunch, etc. that's when I dress nicely in clothes (mostly all thrift shop) that fit me and don't make me look older than my just-turned 70 years. 😄 People often think I'm in my 50's. I'm not model thin or tall either. (5' 0" and a little overweight.) Shop for a couple of nice stylish clothes (even consider starting with a capsule wardrobe) and add to it as you go along.

[@yankeedoodledarling9232]

Here's a tip for yard work - I save all my light colored pants and tops that may be a little tired or have a flaw and I wear them while I garden (I live in CT and am 73). I wear long sleeved linen or cotton tops, long pants, sneakers, socks, gloves, sunnies, and a hat with a brim as wide as all outdoors. I keep ice cold drinks near by. I garden in the AM when it's cooler and never do more than two hours outside. Oh and a spritz of bug spray around the cuffs and ankles. Light colors are cooler and it's easier to spot icky things like ticks. And always have your phone with you. Happy gardening!

[@saraheck7898]

@uscitizen898 An orchard and a vineyard sounds like a little piece of heaven on earth. ❤️ I was an executive assistant most of my life living in urban areas (heels, suits, and manicures). I'm now living on the outskirts of Dallas, living an entirely different lifestyle. There's only a Wallyworld and hardware store in town. When I have doctor appointments or go shopping in the city, I dress up and do my hair and full makeup. I meet so many neighbors (and cute dogs) being outside in my yard; however, I often feel self-conscious of my attire. I usually wear gray or tan modest shorts, a light tank top, and a sun shirt. I don't think my neighbors would recognize me any other way.

[@saraheck7898]

@yankeedoodledarling9232 Those are all excellent tips! I purchased my first sun shirt last year and love it. It's a button-down that I leave open over my t-shirt. I'm due for a spring closet refresh, so I'll be taking your tips and keeping the lighter apparel for outside activities. Thanks for sharing-I enjoyed learning more about someone who lives like I do.

After watching this video I took a hard look at my closet and pulled out 3 floral tops that never seemed quite right to me. Now I know why. I am not a slave to trends but like to be current and I think that is your point. I am 69, 5'10" 150 lbs, in good shape because I have worked at it since I was in my 20s and got up to over 210 lbs! I don't do anything drastic, just regular workouts, mostly healthy eating and little alcohol. I am all for relaxing as we get older but I guess being a former fat girl I just never want to go back! Keep calling it like you see it, Serena!

Thanks Serena. I’m 71 years old and I stay current by watching you and others. I agree about trying different stores. I love J Crew and Quince. Sometimes I walk into a store to look at clothes. If my husband is with me he says “ who the heck is wearing this stuff?” It’s mostly the prints 😂.

[@carolmassa5763]

7:00 a.m. these were very good tips. Will be following!❤😊. Coloring or covering your grey hair roots. If that becomes too much, let your hair go grey. You can go to salon once in a while to highlight grey to a grey you like, if it looks dingy. And do whatever you can to get rid of frizz. If hair looks healthy, and you have a nice cut, that's what matters.

Serena, you are so right! I’m 65 and lost over 20 lbs over the last year and as I was getting rid of clothes that are now too large, I, too, was guilty of some of these aging looks, due to being self-conscious of my weight. And now that I am smaller (and still losing slowly until I reach my goal weight w/walking everyday and increasing my protein intake), I have been choosing clothes that I used to wear and that are more on trend and therefore don’t look my age. And yes, I have also updated my hairstyle to something shorter that makes my thin, fine hair (have noticed it being much thinner since my second time having Covid back in September) look thicker. Feeling more confident about my appearance, in my opinion, also makes a person younger than they are!

[@delilah1479]

Great video, Serena. I laughed when you talked about the Alfred Dunner brand because I have seen their clothes in stores and they are definitely aging. I never liked capris either. You asked us to mention anything else that is aging. Regarding makeup, I think it important to pay attention to one's eyebrows and touch them up rather than let them go gray. Touching them up immediately takes 10 years off a person, I believe. Also, a comment on teeth: I've had to have a few crowns done as these years have gone by. Better to address tooth problems early on.

[@lim4275]

I agree with all of your tips! I shop at Talbot’s and Chico’s a lot, but you do have to guard against frumpiness when purchasing there. I tend to buy more classic pieces and capsule wardrobe type pieces in those stores, because I feel that their quality is good. I then intersperse those with pieces that are more trendy, but only if it’s a trend I like and feel comfortable wearing! My mom was 83 when she passed away, and she still liked to be stylish and youthful looking (but not so youthful as to be inappropriate). Sometimes I do wear matte liquid lipstick. I love Dior’s matte liquid lipsticks, but if I’m going to wear one of them, I take one of Elizabeth Arden’s Hyaluronic Acid Capsules and soak my lips with it as soon as I get out of the shower and I leave it on until I’m ready to apply lipstick, which is the last thing I do before going out the door. It really helps to plump up those lines, and I’m good for 3-4 hours. I love your makeup. It really looks natural and sophisticated on you! 😍

[@becreative2420]

One thing I've noticed since hitting my 50's is the soft, fine downy facial hair. Most noticeable in bright lighting or in the sun.

The suggestion that really hit home for me was "If there's something you don't like - do something about it!" So, so true! Far too many of us think we just have to settle for whatever has come with age, and if it's not something that bothers you, well great! But if the extra weight/sagging muscles etc does bother you - do something about it! It doesn't have to be expensive or even cost anything to adjust diets and exercise. I'm 65 and disabled, so exercising isn't easy, but I can certainly decide what I'm going to eat (or not eat, haha!). Being in better physical shape (better, not perfect!) is definitely helpful in appearing and feeling less old, if that's your aim. It also makes everyday life easier and more enjoyable, which is more important, imho.

[@StylewithSerena]

@@gwenhiggs9369 absolutely! And by staying fit and active in our 40s, 50s, 60s, we can (hopefully) reduce the likelihood that we'll end up with mobility issues, and keep chronic health conditions at bay. And yes, diet is 100% withjn our control.

I agree with everything you said. I don't wear any of the clothes you mentioned and I'm 56. And I go to the dentist every 6 months. I was raised the same way. My mum sent me to the dentist religiously as I was growing up, and I still follow that trend. Thanks for this. I really enjoyed it.

[@StylewithSerena]

So glad you liked it!

Love this and the tough love. I am a Dental Hygienist and you exactly right about teeth shifting as we age.

[@joygodsil2655]

Thank you so much Serena for your advise. I am 65 and most times i have no clue how to dress stylish anymore. These videos give me some ideas and i appreciate you. Thank you.

[@StylewithSerena]

I'm so glad you are finding them helpful!

[@ritagearhart9768]

Love, love, love these videos. They are my wake up call to do better. Thank you!

[@juliaseymour1947]

Soon to be 51 and great tips. It's hard to balance and often struggle with finding comfortable classic pieces. Especially jeans. Thank you for always presenting examples in your videos and links. I'm such a visual person, it's so helpful!

Knowing your body type & clothing that suits you makes a big difference. I love fashion but do not follow trends. I’m 5ft 8 so short/crop shirts, sweaters, t’s are one of my pet peeves. You will never catch me in anything Disney, dresses with ruffles or tiered, capris, sweatshirts with lighthouses, hummingbirds etc. If I don’t find my fashion treasures out reselling I love Kohls.

I took the plunge and got Invisalign in 2023. Took around 7-8 months for my treatment. My lower teeth were especially crowded but i needed them for top and bottom. Worth every penny!! Highly recommmend. Thank you, Serena!

[@StylewithSerena]

Glad you're happy with your Invisalign!

“You’ve just hit the trifecta of old lady!” First time commenting on your channel. Love your content - I’m 55 and my 30-year-old son recently said, “Mom, you’re looking so hip and nice!” Keep it coming, Serena, and thank you!

[@StylewithSerena]

Welcome aboard! I'm 55 also

[@maryjacobs7046]

Most of your advice in this video is absolutely spot-on. (Why on earth do we use that expression for good things?) However, it doesn't matter how many celebrities and other influencers wear cropped pants, those pantlegs flapping around between ankle and mid-calf do not look good on ANYONE! A well-fitting pair of capris is far better than high water pants! Also.....thank you for encouraging us about our bodies. If it bothers you, do something about it. If it doesn't, then rock it!

[@pambrownpcccfre2240]

"I'm not bashing Nanas." That was the best comment! And thank you for speaking out about capris. It had to be said.

[@StylewithSerena]

You’re welcome! It was a necessary topic.

[@loribierling752]

Capris are THE worst! Especially for us shorties!

[@leapintothewild]

@@loribierling752And I put 3/4 sleeves in the same category - esp for petites!

[@darleneg.1894]

I am tall and cropped pants make me look like I can't find pants my size and I cant wear shorts- so I don't feel like I have any other options other than capris.

I enjoy your help with styles and fashion. I am an older listener. You are too young to probably have chronic problems like many of us older people. I have a hard time not wearing comfort clothes but as stylish as possible. Now I sincerely can say - I do not want people looking at my undesirable areas - in fact I am saving them from nightmares. The key is to wear stylish but comfortable clothes. Please help us by giving more details on how to achieve that. I agree with you but part of the problem is our consciousness of our bodies and a feeling of discontent. I will continue to listen and watch "Style With Serena" and hope more ideas for us oldies. Thanks Serena

[@carolinebrown8965]

Excellent video ! I see a lot of women that give up on looking good as they age. You can be very comfortable and stylish with just a few simple changes. And it doesn't take a lot of money.

[@StylewithSerena]

Absolutely!

[@marianl7714]

💯!!! Those outdated frumpy looks make a person look older and heavier at times! I turned 70 last year and people always tell me that I can pass for 40. Granted that I do have good genes but, I strive for healthy nutrition and keep a fresh appearance.😊

[@debbrand8106]

I loved this one Serena-very helpful!!🙏🏻

[@bellanegrin3915]

Very good analysis. I am 65 and am very sporty in my clothing. I do love my leggins and big tops, and fortunately, I am slender. But, when I go out, I always wear an updated pair of jeans with either sandled heals or boots, a pretty, feminine, neutral colored blouse, simple jewelry, and subtle makeup. It always makes me feel the best version of myself. Thanks for the extra tips. Oh, I was blessed with naturally big, long, curly hair. It is probably my best asset. But you are right. You have to stay with longer layers and a "no hairspray" look. You can make long hair work. Just make it very natural looking.

[@StylewithSerena]

Exactly!

[@JM-tt6on]

One of your best videos! Totally agree with everything you covered. I’m 64 and shop multiple retailers, including Anthropologie for out of the ordinary pieces.

[@StylewithSerena]

I'm so glad you loved it!
