I usually read comments. There is so much wisdom in the community that it adds to your very good content. Some trends are a huge mistake. I have seen a lot of ads for cropped trousers this year and they don't look good even on great models. Notice how cold-shoulder tops came in and went out so fast. I look around my community and see no-one wearing them. We know better.

[@trishhickson1550]

I don’t know if you are in the USA. Cold shoulder tops stayed around for ages where I live in the uk, and not being happy with my arms I liked them. Definitely out now though. I do see the odd person wearing them still, but I certainly wouldn’t now.

[@lindacornell5980]

[@andreaavnery2059]

Thank you soo much for leashing out against polyester and helping the environment. Everybody can afford natural fiber : buy less, but class. Another option are "preloved" items. So no excuse for suffocating the planet with harmful fabrics. Influencers like you can contribute to create awareness in their follower-communities and should make an impact. You distinguish yourself from all those "Amazon-amazones" who market cheap synthetics for not so low prices. Kudos!

[@Pixie330-r1y]

I like the 'filling the box' idea. At the moment I am trying the 'one in two out' method. This is helping me declutter, but also making me pause before buying something new, as it makes me think about whether it is 'worth' 2 things already in my wardrobe.

[@maryjanebates4705]

I've been doing the one in one out method for a while, but the amount of stuff never goes down!. Good suggestion of yours to do two out for each new item.

[@suzanneanderson582]

The best thing you said is that you quit caring what others think!!! You said a lot of good things, but I like that one the best. I used to wear 4 inch heels everyday and it made me feel taller. Im really comfortable with flats now - love a good ballet flat, or Mary Jane. I still love my skinny jeans. Not at all interested in those wide legged catastrophes. I get it - the fashion industry needs to tell you to buy new styles so they can make some money every season. But I will keep wearing what makes me feel good.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Skinny jeans are coming back so you're ahead of the curve 😀

[@trishhickson1550]

Thank you so much for your natural sensibilities in fashion. You have taught me so much about how to be me, but also how to be quietly fashionable as a 65 year old woman from Australia

[@SusanBame]

I'm the only one here and I have a nice-sized (not huge, but decent) "master bedroom" closet, originally meant for two people, I suppose. I have tried putting clothes away for a while and then getting them back out, but really what works best for me is to have ALL of my clothes out, ALL the time. Even the cashmere sweaters and cashmere wraps and the camel hair long coat and the winter boots: they all stay out within view even when it's 114 degrees outside. I'm in the Pacific Northwest, and you know, some summer days get cold here, and some winter days get warm, and they keep the office where I work right at 70 degrees, so I always need some sort of a blazer. This works best for me. And here in the PNW, a coffee cup is almost always in my hand when I'm walking, even if I'm just walking across the office to the kitchen to put another K-cup in the machine! I'm 67, by the way, and still have a full-time job working at a community college. I love it! I get compliments all the time on my wardrobe, which I keep up-to-date by watching KZbin channels like yours. There is an actual mall in the town where I work. I moved here in 2014 and I think I've been to the mall exactly once since then. I prefer shopping at the thrift store; I get a better selection and I get to pick something that I can see how it looks after it's been washed once or twice. If I need other stuff, I shop online. I was an autumn in the '80s too...as I've aged and I've let the grays come through, my colors are very much changing. I had honey-brown hair and still have the olive-hazel-green eyes and LOVE olives and warm browns...I'm transitioning out of the strong shades now and into softer shades. I did cringe a little when you said "at our age," talking about the trends...I say, if I want to wear it and it's a trend, I'm doing it. Most likely I don't. "At my age" means I get to do whatever the hell I want. I don't care what other people say about what to do or say or think or wear. If I want to do it, I do it. (I probably won't wear belly-showing clothes either, because I wouldn't want to do that.) I like knowing what the trends are; I can pick and choose what I want to embrace and what I want to ignore. I'd never heard of "business casual" or "capsule wardrobes" in the '70s and '80s, and I really like them now, because I'm learning from the KZbinrs like you and others. I plan to still be healthy, relevant and working full-time in my 70s.

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

It is a very good, very practical idea. I have just been going through my winter stuff (as Australia is now in spring, we have just finished winter), I have lost 20kg (over the last almost 2 yrs) and I have taken some of my smaller trousers in, bought new stuff, and got rid of stuff that was just too big. Now its spring/summer wardrobe to work on.

[@sarahcooper3378]

The shirt is lovely, and looks so much better with your skin/hair tones against the back wall. In my late 20's early 30's, I lived in the UK and worked at an estate agents. Lots of power dressing! I am now 62 and live in BC, Canada in a very remote location with a very outdoors, pioneer lifestyle. I get to 'town' maybe 3 times a year, so little time to wear anything other than work jeans, shirts and sweaters. I ask questions when I'm looking at clothes....do I love it? How often will I wear it? Be ruthless with your choices ladies, and wear what you are comfortable in, but also don't be afraid to look outside the box.

[@kathygann7632]

Yes. I always read comments.

[@Mimi-ni3il]

i’m 57. love your channel . we are RELEVANT ❤❤❤

[@barbaraweiss3119]

I do definitely read the comments. I wonder if others have the same wardrobe issue I have. I have lost about 80 pounds over the last 2 years. I have removed the clothing that no longer fits from my closet, but I’m afraid to take them out of the house. I’m afraid I will gain the weight back and then have nothing to wear! It’s not an irrational fear…I have changed size several times in my 68 years!

[@kimnsteffey3349]

I’m in the very same boat! Ugh! I have tubs of different sizes. I hate keeping all the clothes but I really hate rebuying larger size clothing!

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I'm your twin!! I had serious health issues, was in bed all the time, couldn't go to gym or swim, comfort ate and stacked on weight. I decided to accept my fate, bought big clothes and got rid of just about all my clothes. Now 3 yrs later, I found a specialist who has been able to help a bit, I've got my determination back, have started an exercise class run by a physio, back to swimming and over the last 2yrs, lost 20 kg, I have taken in some of the 'mid sized' garments, taken out the really big stuff (I am never letting myself get that bad again!) And have bought a lot of new clothes to cheer myself up and encourage and reward myself for all the hardwork I have put in. 🏆💪👍 keep going, get rid of the big stuff, take in what can be cheaply altered and buy some nice new gear ❤❤❤ oh..I'm 64.😊

[@havana2banana]

Wish I had lost some weight and gone down a size or two. I have too many clothes and would get them donated if they were too big.

[@JaneWoodBranam]

I do Intermittent Fasting and have kept it off 5 years. If you read Fast, Feast, Repeat by Gin Stephens, you will not regain. Then you can give away big clothes.

[@kathysmith7531]

You are not alone. I lost 120 pounds 17 years ago, my weight does creep up and I struggle with letting clothing go of items I may have to wear again or so I think. I’m improving by letting things the large stuff go slowly. I’ve only been able to do that by working on my mindset, working on loving and respecting my body. Start with baby steps.

[@lisarimland4825]

Love your comments on fibers! My style is influenced by how fabric feels on my body and how it flows. So important!

[@bexp436]

Yes, definitely read the comments. And totally agree ref wearing styles if i love them and they suit me even if they are no longer "trending".

Regarding patterns, I choose by asking myself whether the pattern in any way resembles an old fashioned sofa cover or pair of curtains. If it does then I will probably avoid it.

I’m 64 and really appreciate your channel. I’m 5’10” and always wanted to be a petite person! I’ve also quit wearing 4” heels - actually cannot wear them due to an Achilles tendon issue. 2” is about my limit. It’s funny to hear you say you’ve quit caring! I quit caring as well…..if I like it and feel good in it, that’s what I’m going to wear. Thank you for the great content you present for those of us in our 60’s and beyond. Cheers!

[@gcoolie5272]

I’m 5’10 as well. I always wanted to be short. Now I’m the shortest in my family with adult kids and husband. I actually don’t like the feeling at all. 😂😂😂 The grass is always greener…

[@littlemom2070]

As someone who is 5 foot even, it always astonishes me to hear about women who are not happy with being tall. Models are all tall. Height is considered beautiful. You can buy clothes off the rack without tailoring. You have a wide range of styles to choose from. You can gain a few pounds and no one notices. You don’t need to wear heels to look good. You don’t get called names like pygmy and midget, and being asked “why are you so short?” You’re not ignored because sometimes people literally don’t see you. In business you have automatic authority and presence.

[@justinebarton2931]

I'm happy being tall but buying clothes off the rack isn't as simple as that. Often trousers aren't long enough and you can't add a piece of fabric on so tailoring isn't even an option. Likewise sleeves are often too short. I lost weight and went down from a Uk 16-18 to an 8-10. (Now back at a 12) Suddenly all the sleeves on everything were too short and a lot of tops were too short as they shrink everything in all dimensions! And don't get me started on trying to find shoes in big sizes - it's the bane of my life.

[@HappyBunny-d2i]

@@littlemom2070Im 5ft 11 always wished I was shorter … brands do not cater for tall women spent to much time looking for clothing that fits and any excitement in finding trousers that fit is soon squashed when you find they only come in one colour ….black… how many tall departments do you see in shops ? None .. a long leg is normally 30 - 32 inches my inside leg is 34 “ .. I have to constantly watch my weight because if I go above a size 16 the search gets a lot harder … called beanpole lanky big bird throughout my life and asked constantly what’s the weather like up there … .. heels wish I could wear them …

[@Cookie7294]

Yes, i donated my high heels, and lots of clothes. They weren't being worn and were taking up space . Have actually been thinking of setting up a rail the way you do in your videos with clothes i will wear this season. It will make choices so easy. It's interesting about colour. As my hair has gone grey, and my skin has gotten paler, my colour choices have definitely changed. You are right. It only matters what we like to wear and what suits us, not trends (love leopard print though). Thank you for your words of encouragement.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

I'm glad my channel is useful

[@lavadaroufs]

What a great reminder I received from your presentation. I sew a majority of my wardrobe and have to remind myself frequently not haste (which is a constant problem as I'm anxious to see the final project ) but quality which I do know how to achieve. I presently have no access to quality clothing but I do shop thrift and luck out with quality or I remake the item to improve the item. Trends are not for me so thanks again for your heads up. Isn't it great to be old enough to not care "to keep up?"

[@mandymaney6856]

I have been tweaking my closet the beginning of every month for a few years now and I've been loving it. It has shown me what is more realistic in terms of what I need. Thinking about 6 months at a time used to make me think I needed much more than I actually did. It also shown me what I really love to wear which has helped me not shop nearly as much.

[@nualaoconnor534]

Love the idea of a monthly capsule as I currently do the spring summer/autumn winter but in reality I should switch more often .Probably have to work my way up to monthly! Love this video. I’m 62, few years ago I started only buying silk ,cashmere ,100% cotton ,linen - has made my wardrobe more versatile throughout the seasons . Max 7cm heels and now have fab selection sneakers and boots I can walk easily in. I’m 5 foot 1 inch. You have inspired me to keep going and continue to eliminate anything synthetic. Have sold some designer pieces just not my style anymore but gifted some to my daughter and some of her friends , a younger sister in law and lots to charity. It’s so liberating. It also makes it much easier to pack for trips. Have just subscribed and look forward to watching more .

[@stellacollins3114]

Monthly wardrobe is a genius idea 👏 I’ve seen you do them every month, inspiring

[@cathlynballard8409]

Your videos have definitely helped me define and pinpoint my personal style. I realized this after a doctor’s appointment: he told me that red suited me beautifully (I had a red plaid shirt on). All through my life people have commented that red was “my color.” The hitch is that while I truly do look great in red, I feel awful wearing it (except for shoes). The same with brown. It looks great on me, yet I feel uncomfortable wearing it. But, I own and wear tons of frosty beiges and tans. Purple is another one - I like purple but I don’t feel good wearing it. Stripes and simple plaids are the only patterns I own. All this lifetime subconscious practice just came to my own notice about myself and my style after thinking about the various subjects of your videos over the past year or so. Finally recognizing this about myself has greatly eased my choices in wardrobing and shopping. I guess I had a style but never consciously knew it! Choosing things to wear and buy was a roulette game, of sorts. Now, thanks to your work, my style life is a breeze.

[@esmesaunter5605]

I remember once selling my clothes in a dress agency shop and I picked out good brands such as Jaeger, berketex you get the idea. Well I live in Devon and the closest one I could find was about 15 to 20 miles away. By the time I took them up paid for petrol treated my husband and I to coffee and then went back again to collect my percentage I think my overall profit was zilch!

[@gillmolony6781]

[@gailwilliams5278]

I read the comments, and make them too. I like to have my ‘6 months’ wardrobe out all the time, so I can anticipate wearing my favorites and consider new combinations. I like florals including florals. Never had my colors done but I know when a color looks ‘off’ on me (peachy pink is great, blue-toned pinks look awful). More important to me is contrast. I’m low contrast, for sure.

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

My mum always looked gorgeous in mauve and purples, so I bought myself a couple of things, I only wore them once or twice before I donated them...what looks good on others, doesn't necessarily look good on ourselves.

[@Mimi-ni3il]

block color and neutral in YOUR color palette will play up your delicate features. i think it helps us and especially if we are low contrast (i’m blonde/very fair) most patterns are very distracting on me and don’t allow my features to shine.

It's always been difficult for taller women. I'm only slightly over 5' 7", short waisted, with long legs. Expensive, tailored trousers are invariably too short, so if I want trousers, I'm forced to buy from cheaper stores like M&S simply because they offer longer leg lengths.

[@HappyBunny-d2i]

@@gillianhill3196 Agree but the long length is never long enough for me extra long works but there are very few in XL length and these sell out really quickly in the popular sizes.. .. oh and you can only order on line 🤨

Frustrating, when the very fact that extra long sizes sell out quickly should be enough to persuade companies to start catering for women of your height and above.

[@deborahrombouts9958]

I love your crop top comment 😂❤. I also read the comments below for great ideas. I have a couple of good quality modern classic brands that dress up or down depending on my jewellery &/or shoes. Plus the beautiful SA knows me well - she also gives me ideas on how to make what I wear more edgy & challenges me with different options. I love her advice.

[@trishsh5007]

I do read comments as I’m always interested in other peoples’ thoughts on a video. Re the colour etc, one of the crucial things, I find for a petite, is getting a reasonable fit, especially on the shoulders. This makes a huge difference to me not looking like I’m wearing someone else’s clothes. Trends aren’t entirely unimportant as they can make dressing fun, but mostly it’s marketing and as you say, my friends don’t follow trends.

[@celiathirlwall3329]

[@maryjanebates4705]

I need to have a clear out, I have to watch videos like yours for the motivation. I retired 6 years ago and am still hanging things up in my wardrobe with each seasons change over that I haven't worn for 6 years! Also evening/party wear, none of my 60 something friends have parties anymore & there are no work do's to go to! I need to get rid of all these clothes. I like the box idea, if I put clothes in a carrier bag for the charity shop I nearly always take it out & put it back in wardrobe!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

I went to a 60th birthday party at a hotel on Saturday. Ir was fun to get out and drink, dance and be merry. Also I joined a local fb group of women in my county who arrange things like paint n sip or lunches. I also joined other groups that have fund raising socials. I went along on my own and soon met people as a lot come along alone.

I always hated polyester! Yuk! Even when I was a kid I told my mom it had to be all cotton. Love corduroy. Rarely wear florals unless it is a watercolor type print. Yes to bootcut or flare. Why would anyone wear tapered pants? They’re not flattering on anyone. I can relate to so much in your video. I never followed trends. Never cared. I like the idea of changing up the wardrobe every month. I think I will try it.

[@elizabethwatson7883]

Yes I read the comments. Do you work with two wardrobes in order to have a monthly capsule? Xx

[@Myover50fashionlife]

As my children have left home I do store out of season in their old rooms and in underbed drawers

[@sallyfowler8411]

I am with you all the way. X

[@mariusbabii]

i love it when you did your charm thing, cool, just for me, thank you, and you are very welcome, you rock and rule, ....leppard skin dots cool, i have some too on my punk jackets, one being painted black and white,.......on the collar,...............marius(punk rules).

[@veronicacarmody115]

I think I will go to a two month swap I like the idea of it. I’ve pretty much given up on polyester fabrics. I like at 10-11” rise. I quit capris! They make me look older than I am. Nobody needs that! A cropped pant, shorts, skorts, skirts, or dresses work really well in their place.

[@ellenhazelton8872]

Yes, I read comments. I also avoid polyester like the plague, for the same reasons😊

[@robertazapp1443]

It’s so true. Constant contradiction on the various sites! And I question whether that is due to sponsorship!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

I don't think so. I think its source of the information. There isn't a consistent source.

[@deborahrombouts9958]

I’m short but have a long torso so I find high rise perfect.

[@angier2289]

Since I stopped colouring my hair and trying, in vain, to replicate my natural dark chestnut hair and let my silver hair shine, I find I wear more whites, blacks, and more blues or reds. As long as they’re ‘clear’ such as a raspberry red or a periwinkle blue but not muted colours. I put it on, look at myself and think, hmmm, that’s not so bad, is it? Pretty good, actually. lol - that’s my version of colour analysis. As for trends, I say trend shmend. 🤷‍♀️

[@GeeGee-vr2nz]

I just discovered your channel and became a subscriber. I am a totally different body type from you but love your style and thoughts about how to dress. I am 5’9”, 185ish (lost 25 lbs; 2” in height and good part of my butt but still full chested….go figure). Prefer the classic look which I felt looked good on me. Now makes me look dumpy. Looking forward to getting idea from this community. Ohhh forgot to say I am 73 years younger and in fairly good shape.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

You are very welcome. I hope you enjoy the videos and the friendships here

[@heathermackay58]

hi there, I really like your blouse. I agree polyester is yucky!

[@KarlaStimach-xs1yp]

Yes. I read comments.

[@kerryparker8925]

I do read the comments and I do get great info from them.

[@Gitti62]

I read the comments. I like to see what other viewers think about the topic and also get some additional tips.

[@melissam.5612]

Yes, I read the comments most of the time.

[@RosiG73]

Love small florals and absolutely hate animal print.

[@shirleycroft6144]

Animal print is too “Bet Lynch)

[@sam36936]

Your hair is lovely.

[@kathleenpalmstein]

Recycled polyester good too.

[@digitalpunkdiva2894]

I use trends to stock up on colors that suit me but disappear for periods of time from stores. For a while rich vibrant colors yielded to cool tones which make me look lke a corpse. Some years its a no buy season like the whole oversized baggy look in god awful cool toned life draining neutrals. I have saved $$ though, which I will spend on items that suit me.

[@JoyceHelander]

"life draining neutrals". I love it!

[@vdwdifficult]

Yes I read the comments. I do not find silk breathable.

[@pamelalyon3264]

I'm short and never liked high heels, even when I was young, and now my feet thank me

[@louisefenech7657]

Yes I do read the comments. I also like to look current whilst choosing comfort as well. So no high heels anymore!

[@lauramccauley8651]

❤❤❤❤❤great video!

[@rosemarycrabtree5892]

Yes❤

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you 😊

[@SHYsArt]

yes

[@anounimouse]

I LOVE silk but it doesn't breathe as much/as easily as linen and cotton.

[@trishhickson1550]

I do read comments, often before I watch a video and sometimes instead of.

[@sandyhumphreys3646]

Yes I read all comments, I too hate polyester,

[@sandyhumphreys3646]

I have never shopped at Primark

[@susanjackson6972]

I don’t know one single friend who knows what’s going on in the fashion world - however, I’ve always had a passion for clothes, don’t follow trends necessarily - some of them are quite frankly hideous, like long, denim, straight skirts - don’t flatter anyone - but I’ve always had my own style and keep an eye on trends - I do it for myself - no one else 😊

[@SueRosalie]

I'm seeing a lot of women in shopping malls wearing those heavy long denim skirts and they look so uncomfortable

[@krypsi]

In theory I agree with you, however the problem is that nowadays expensive clothes are often just as crappy as the cheap ones and do not necessarily last so much longer

[@willowgirl2635]

I like to read comments. I prefer to buy from Thrift shops, I rarely buy new as I like the thrill of the hunt.

[@justinebarton2931]

I keep all the empty boxes in the garage. I sell on eBay and vinted and use the boxes to ship stuff out in.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

i keep plastic wrappings for vinted as its normally one clothing item at a time. i havent sold other types of things on vinted yet.

[@findingmystyle_x]

I think hair colour changes what colours suit you too. I'm grey/silver like you & certain colours don't suit me now xx

[@SueRosalie]

Can't stand polyester, I only wear natural fibres (except for rainwear and ski wear and swimsuits of course)

[@dianamay8600]

Yes I read the comments

[@Myover50fashionlife]

They are a useful resource

[@MaryMack-o8r]

The comments on this channel? Always worth reading.

[@markjordan433]

I don't think you are deep, unless you had naturally dark hair and dyed it when you were younger. I saw your clip and you switched from autumn to summer, which I think is correct. Warm Autumns aren't usually too deep, from what I've seen on several colour analysis clips. However, the golden rule, wear whatever you like 😊😊

[@susanjackson6972]

I wouldn’t touch floral prints with a barge pole - scream frump - like Capri pants 😅

[@deborahrombouts9958]

I love your crop top comment 😂❤

[@justinebarton2931]

Ann Marie, could you become one of those #MyMarks influencers? That would grow your fanbase. Do you have to apply or can anybody do it and just use the tag? Only problem is that there is a lot of negativity and trolls on M&S website posts for some unknown reason!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Good idea. I could. It's just a matter of tagging on Instagram. I thought there were copyright issues then and I can't use the image if they have but I'd have other images so that doesn't matter. Great idea.

[@deannalatorre4772]

I have a beautiful cold shoulder dress that I intend to wear this season. It’s pretty and I feel pretty in it. I have to laugh about trends. We think they are so great when they are accepted but the minute they are out of style (fashion industry dictates $$) we throw them out and buy ($) what is ln style. Sorry. Not me. I’m going with what makes me feel good. By the way, people are always complementing me on my style, old or new.

[@tamiewert808]

I love to read the comments!!

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

Pointless at the coast we seem to have a local style…and appropriate…for lifestyle and climate

[@KateFord-se2pm]

Love the comments!

[@dinnykelly6763]

Yes, I read comments

[@annejohnston8696]

I 'started' shopping at Primark in October, 2024...at least giving it a go, as my go to M&S are now shit quality..looks good mind you for maybe a few days, if you get lucky, but then the dreaded bobbles (or bullies ... I'm Scottish.) it's impossible to find a pure cotton jumper or cardi in markies, although pop upstairs and you may get lucky in the men's bit. Everything's turned to shit . . you'll only notice if your eyes are open😑

[@merleanderson3564]

I always read the comments.

[@pattyp2270]

I read the comments

[@adrianagalli7504]

Polyester! To be banned once and for all
