9 Trends to AVOID in 2024 over 40+

[@janicelafreniere-sabo4034]

I always enjoy your honest take on fashion! I am 74 years young and I must admit I have to curtail myself from wearing a much younger look. I’m young at heart, I’ve always thought younger, felt younger and I look younger, so I can get away with some of the trends, most of the time. I do REALLY enjoy the wider legged pants, especially linen for summer. They are so much more comfortable and I find myself gravitating towards them. I just bought a pair of lime/yellow green semi baggy linen pants and I wear them everywhere, paired with a denim shirt. I’m just wondering when will I start dressing my age, whatever that is🤷‍♀️. I can’t ever see myself in what a lot of my friends that are 10/20 years younger are wearing. They look like grandma clothes to me. Thank you for your interest in fashion, that we all get to benefit from!

[@fiddlersthree8463]

77 years young here. I totally get what you are saying!! I will not dress like a granny -- ever -- even if I live to be 100!!!

[@jenn8179]

Those pants sound AMAZING! ❤

[@Clovergirl7934]

I am also 74 and am right there with you! Nobody guesses my age and I just won’t dress like an old lady! But…..I am always discretionary when it comes to style and trends.

[@delilah1479]

I agree with you. I am not far behind you. Also, at 5ft 2in, I do not like oversized clothes. I do not like some of "grandma" style clothes shown in some department stores.

[@maxinebaskerville6020]

Totally agree. At almost 70 I love fashion and always will. I do "try" to be discerning and don't dress "too" young.

[@marieoliphant8305]

Wait until you’re over 60! I’m actually in best shape I’ve been in many years. I started walking a year ago, literally an hour everyday. I walk on treadmill and push myself. It’s toned up (surprisingly) even my arms. I’m up for baring it all. Women my age (who’ve had 5 kids) can still look fabulous into our 60s! If you work for it, anything is possible even in later life! Just because we’re older and have had children (5 in my case) and had hormone issues doesnt mean it’s impossible to be very fit. How bad do you want it, is the question.

Your “no” vest is very elegant looking to me. With wide leg pants and big sunnies, you’d look very sophisticated and European (IMHO). The “yes” vest is way more you and looks great, too. Thanks for another great video!

@@s.a.4358 I agree. And also, if a person doesn’t feel like themselves in an outfit or part of an outfit, it will come across as ‘something’s off’ when they wear it. I’m glad Anna shares what she learns and includes the ‘why’ behind it. 😘

I know for a fact plenty of kids wear sandals. Im sure some girls get obsessed and insecure with their feet.

[@emilyherr6011]

My daughter is 19 and I asked her about the no sandals trend. She's never heard of that. The baggy clothes trend doesn't look good on the younger generation either, it just looks sloppy and baggy, no matter how skinny or how cool they are.

[@juliemuniz8487]

“Shredded by a tiger on the street “😂😂😂 I love your sandals.

[@s.s.8029]

This is my first time watching one of your videos. I will be 44 this fall and I am the happiest that I have ever been. After being a people pleaser for most of my life, I don't really care what others think of me anymore. I am embracing my graying hair (I get many compliments on it) and other aspects of aging. I typically adhere to most of your "rules." When I was student teaching this past fall, my former youth leader from many years ago was an aide. She is at least 60 years old and showed up in ripped jeans for a dress down day! I don't even know if ripped jeans were appropriate for staff, but I was just shocked! Ripped clothes just aren't a good look in general, in my opinion.

[@SaraSmile-11]

I’ve got teen kids, I know the “hide your dogs” (no bare feet in sandals) trend. I think it’s goofy and I’m pretty sure it’ll pass. But even if it doesn’t, I’ll keep rocking my sandals with my pretty painted toenails. I’m right there with you, Anna!

[@ceasarsaran8573]

Kids do stupid things lall the time. Like not wanting to wear coats in winter, or not wanting to take bag tputting everything in pockets, they are kids, and simply not very smart. Thats OK they will learn. I cant imagine any adult from the age 20 older paying that kind of thing any attention at all,

[@MindiB]

There is a difference between not wearing something because it doesn’t feel appropriate or flattering to the wearer, and not wearing something because somebody else says, “If you are over X, don’t ever wear this”-especially if the somebody else is a stranger to you. The first respects personal choice, the second is entirely predicated on what other people (might) think. I can’t endorse the latter; life is too short. If you see someone else wearing something you think is “too young for them,” mind your own business.

[@Kelly-pp1et]

Thank you for being free. Women are so dumb nowadays. Giving away their own sense of self .

[@garmtpug]

Yes, some items of clothing are for young people. Older people wearing certain things just look foolish or are trying way too hard. Since you are obviously upset by others telling you what is too young for you, why did you even bother to click on this video?

[@ANNAREID29]

Omg… I 100,000% agree with this! I literally think to myself, if someone doesn’t like how another person looks they need to mind their own business 🤣🤣

I have matured to the point of having learned to avoid extremes. When I look back at pics from 20+ years ago at what I wore then, I cringe. Classic style with a dash of current trends is my style now. Also, I show my toes, they aren't beauties, and I don't care. 😂

Gurllll! I’m with you about the sandals thing (and many other things you said). I also live in south Florida and am a 51 y/o fashion designer and I’m all about the sandals for our weather, age and lifestyle. I find what a lot of these Gen Z trends are pushing are so ridiculous.

Yep same!

[@maryjaneboxer2600]

Im 20 years older than you - I find many of your videos relevant and inspiring to watch. The beauty of loving fashion, and maturity, is that trends hold no force over you. You may try something new but have the good sense to know whether it flatters you or not, and if you want to make it part of your personal style. As to the “no toes” thing - I don’t even begin to understand that. And from the number of people wearing flip flops here in CA - hard to see that as a trend. But cheers to those holding their own style motto. 😁

[@lynnmyrick4045]

[@phyllisgonzalez7254]

I’m definitely over 40 and have no problem with my toes. I get a manicure and a pedicure every two weeks. as for sambas, there are a thing right now and they look cool the way they’re styled, but a sandal is a totally different shoe. Personally, I like a variety of shoes. Not stuck on one style.

[@mimzyc9949]

Someone said if you wore it the first time the trend came around you might want to reconsider wearing it the second time around. I don’t necessarily agree with that if you can still get away with it. But you also don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard. I really like your style and take on trends and by all means rock the sandals.

[@denisedorsey2889]

I’ve heard that as well. The thing is now trends come and go so rapidly that the chances are great that you’ll see a trend repeat more than once! I wore high waisted pants in high school and am enjoying wearing my high rise jeans now, 50 years later. But I’m not embracing the return of the halter top for my body today.

[@ANNAREID29]

I’ve heard that too! Not sure I agree on all accounts but there are some trends I’m happy I wore at 20, won’t be wearing at 40+ 🤣

[@DonnaScharff]

Hi Anna, A v-neck design is universally flattering where as crew necks take away from showing a little chest skin. I no longer buy crew necks for this reason and always choose a scoop or v-neck instead. Both are so much more flattering on women. The baggy look can definitely overpower your silhouette and can come off as almost frumpy. To avoid this look, always pair a baggy item with a slender item instead. For example the baggy wide leg jeans should be warn with a fitted top to get the most of that outfit. Ripped clothes have no place in a sophisticated women's closet! I agree with you, dressing for your lifestyle is a must! Wow Gen Z doesn't want to show their toes, who knew??? LOL Yeah, you'll have to pry my sandals from my cold dead feet! LOL Another great video, thanks Anna!

At 65 I realized my granddaughter was borrowing my clothes and I began to think I was doing something wrong. I decided with the new “quiet luxury” trend I could just trade my tee shirts for neutral cashmere and linen tees. I work from home so I also bought some high end, neutral sweatpants with matching tops. I’m still wearing ripped jeans, but my family says as long as I’m working out and in a size 5 no one should care what I wear.

[@veronicacarmody115]

I’m not sure about the not showing the toes thing. My granddaughters are 22 and 15 and they both wear sandals. I’m in Colorado, maybe it’s a regional thing? I also think the baggie on baggie look adds weight to women. I for one, am not willing to add pounds to my frame needlessly. I think the high-neck vests would look great on tall, thin women who are not busty. Not for me, because I’m short and busty. I avoid crew necks, mock necks, and turtlenecks.

[@minorityfringe387]

I'm 59. I do own and wear sandals and nicer flip flops on occasion but I actually prefer to wear a slip on flat canvas espadrille or a small sneaker in the summer. If I am at the beach, hanging out in the back yard, or going to a BBQ of course I am wearing sandals or flip flops. In the city though, I mostly wear flat canvas slip on espadrilles with my shorts and summer outfits. I feel like I have to have the right outfit to wear a sandal and I am very fussy about the type of sandal I will wear. It's not because I have bad feet. I have actually been told I have very nice feet and I really do like my feet. A lot of times I just think a flat espadrille or sneaker type shoe looks better (on me anyways). Never wore the ripped jeans. It always felt to me like trying too hard to be cool. It was very frustrating a few years back when ALL the jeans were distressed and I could not buy a new pair of jeans. Sooo happy that trend is finally dying.

[@Bella-tj4ti]

I think the term is not about "what is appropriate for your age, " but what is sophisticated.

[@manet9859]

Anna, the high neck vest looks gorgeous on you. I think it’s better than the v-necks that you prefer. I work in this industry long enough to give you this advice. I remodel and style people in one of the prestigious suburbs in Melbourne , Australia. Please wear that white high neck vest 👍👍

[@christianeraphael1270]

Very nice video, thank you 💐 I am surprised every time to find things you talk about of which I think „yes, of course, now that you mention it Anna“ 😃. Puts a smile on my face. Love your kind of humor, too! Anyway, ripped clothes?! Nono, why should I even pay money for purposely damaged, ripped clothes?

[@ChanelthePomston]

That is so interesting. I'm team sandles 💯, I work in an office with 20 women & I'm the one people look to to see for fashion advice. I'm 43 so I have rules what to wear/what not to wear. In fact the ladies always ask/compliment, "Are you going out after?" "You always look well put together". I just wear what I feel really. Majority of the women my age wear sandals, but we have one Gen Z who I've NEVER seen in sandals, always in sneakers. I thought that was odd.

[@krissyrose14]

I think a lot of these styles that you mention are for a totally different style essence combination than what you have. You mentioned about liking to wear sophisticated clothing and more structured outfits which totally fits classic essence, which you have a lot of. :) I have noticed that more ingenue styled clothing that has been trendy doesn't work on my face and body type, in addition to advancing into my late 30s. I have a lot of classic essence like you do, and more timeless styles work better on me. :)

[@lorijustice8967]

I agree with everything but the baggy jeans. I love them and feel chic when I wear them. I just follow the rule to wear something fitted on top and vice versa. If I wear an oversized button down, I wear something more fitted on the bottom.

[@AlwaysHapp1989]

I am 60 and believe for the most part I can wear a lot the “trends” (if I like them) but I will make sure they are presented in a much more classy way. I do have some bustiers, but I wear the ones that meet the top of a long skirt or pants same with “tube” tops. I like to balance with not too much skin-I think it is much sexier (don’t give it away girls😂). I also make sure the fabrics r nice. I sometimes wear a shirt or jacket. I think as we get older, how we feel is most important. My mother 81 and one of her friends have always been wild colors and prints, they enjoy them (I’m more boring and classic😂) but I love that they do them! I think the best thing is to learn what is in and then make it your own, that’s what is great about fashion❤. I love how you express to people to do what works for them individually. By the way-you look great in pink ❤❤ and I thought you looked fabulous in the high neck vest😘.

Same here in Florida. I'll wear my sambas this fall and winter, way too hot now!

Stopped the video to say I don’t want to look like I got shredded by a tiger either! 😂😂😂

[@marciesovick5171]

Ummmmm my teenager is the same, but I am her mum not her friend. I dress my age and for my body type and definitely wear sandals!! That was a crazy response to your post😂 Love your videos!!

[@pernillah5100]

Sandals like yours are so comfortable and cute. I love mi e with glitter and stones as well. 😊😊😊

Ms Anna, Your video is a gem! I thank you for a lovely " ending "; word of the wise from a person who I admire a lot: you. If I may answer your question about...corset; well, do I come from Mars or Elizabethan era but...the word for me says it all: " corset" ; it is an undergarment and as such, I would not, could not...wear it as a top. Elegance is also, respect. Wearing something so (private?) personal at large does not make sense to me. (if I do...make sense??? 🤣 but it is me. I follow your lovely advice about...balance. If I wear something " larger " for the bottom, I balance the look and comfort with something tighter on top. I feel grateful about this advice of yours so...bag? baggy? I agree with you; not...so....much of a good choice for us. 😉 Again! Thank you for your video Ms Anna! You are inspiring!! (AGAIN!!!😃) helene 💕

Love your pink blazer!

Too funny! I was just talking to my 13 yo about how she'll wear sandals in the summer (in Texas) like a normal person, but to wear her Birk-look-alikes to school she'll have to wear socks! Yuck! She said no one shows their "dogs" at school. I think sandals and socks look crazy stupid, so I'll just keep my "dogs" showing everywhere, thanks!

[@katherinebaer6798]

Agree with all your points, Anna! I Absolutely hate the all baggy clothes trend. NO ONE looks good in that; young or old! And what’s up with the no sandals look? Weird.

[@kathygann7632]

I have never been into ripped jeans until this summer. I have an old, old pair of Jones NY white jeans that are so old that they are ripping in the washing machine. I figure they are now worth twice as much as just a pair of old jeans. I’m wearing them a bunch this summer and hope to totally wear them out by winter.

I find it hard to transition my outfits in my 40s. I’m kinda glad I’m a tshirt and jeans person and I still have my 30s outfits and wear them as well. I feel that I should taper down my skimpy shorts and mini skirts, if not to retire them entirely but I’m getting there. Some need a bit of a wake up call because they really thought they still rock it… but sadly our body forms also changes and not all fits as it used to but in our eyes it still does… acceptance is key 😅

Trend to avoid if you are X age: listening to other people about what you should wear

[@milamila5621]

Why did you watch the video then? The title was very obvious. And plus she NOT ONCE said "you shouldn't wear it" all she said is "I wouldn't/ don't wear it". She actually always says in her videos "I'm not telling you not to wear it, it's just I don't do it"
