DO’s ✅ & DONT’S ❌ for Wearing These Over 50!

[@mercedes523]

I had a pair of Bass loafers in the 80’s I was so proud of them. I didn’t really have a lot of clothes but I chose carefully what I was allowed to have. (Levi’s, Oxford cloth button downs, anything Izod etc.). I was basically a prep.

[@daynad8104]

So was I! Add Fair Isle sweaters, and Eastland deck shoes tied the way they showed in their ads. I even had The Preppy Handbook.

[@nancyholmes7012]

In the 80s I was in the military and mandated work shoes for all women boots loafers ,,, heels for dress uniforms

[@carolm4545]

Me too! I still love the style!

[@gmoni2456]

YES to all! 🤣 (But the loafers were not the enormous chunky clunkers we see now. They were more feminine, smaller.)

[@mercedes523]

@@daynad8104 That’s so funny! I remember that book!

[@pamelativers1505]

I like how realistic you are about fashion.

[@sherriteare2371]

I wore long leather coats and clogs in the ‘70’s and button downs and loafers in the ‘80’s I may have to revisit the loafers. I love the green for fall and I’m glad that maxi dresses and skirts are still in. Thanks for doing fall fashion recon for us! 😊

[@agatastaniak7459]

100% agreed with you on white tank tops with blazers, quilted bomber jackets and florar bomber jackets. I suppose street fashion is going to widely adopt these a mainstream trends. Hot pink is great idea too. This color is great for mature complexion.

[@barbiec4312]

Lol! “At that point, why are we even bothering with clothes?” Super fun and enlightening video. No to most items, but love your take on how to modify them for people over 50.

[@janicelantz3788]

I like the all Denim Trend. Using different shades of Denim. Green is pretty and I love Maxi skirts and Dresses

[@sheliacolburn8250]

Love maxi skirts and dresses. Also think bomber jacket and long duster coats are really cool. I don’t worry too much about what’s on trend. Whatever makes me feel cute 😊

[@janicebillingsley1287]

I am luvin' all the bright colors coming out: greens, yellow, orange, purple....... After pandemic, I want to wear high energy clothes!!! Wanna celebrate better times ahead!!! Green 💚 always been my favorite!! Time to celebrate!!

[@varieta9466]

Been a loafers’ girl all my life even in my 60’s. Looking forward to see what’s out there. Love green- fav color! Jeans on jeans ok too. Love cutouts…. In the right place. All in all trends not as crazy! Thanks for doing the research for us! That’s the part I don’t care for at all. Haha all the best ❤️

[@nancyholmes7012]

This is excellent as I’m recovering from breast cancer & as I am 63 a full time nurse also retired military going into the next chapter in my life 🤗 I resell to ground me; I pride myself in fashion,,,,,this is great!

[@angelamasson-fashionover50]

Take care of yourself as you are healing Nancy!! Sending well wishes!!

[@jenl6811]

I bought some loafers back in the Spring and love them. I've never owned a pair but think they elevate my jeans for a casual evening look. Normally I wear my cute tennies but the loafers step it up and are still really comfy.

[@rebeccadietrich8925]

I love the loafers and the clogs..got the clogs last fall! They look great with straight and bootcut jeans. I had a bomber jacket in high-school and i remember the oversized button-down shirts, I think I still have one. Canadian tuxedo..all denim! I just don't like crossbody bags, they make my boobs look weird. My mom always said.."everything comes back"

[@angelamasson-fashionover50]

I agree with your mom, it does seem like all the fashions just rotate over the decades

[@rebeccaspence2989]

Thank goodness on the loafer thing - I adore them normally. So easy to dress up/down -- I'll actually look stylish :)

[@Highland_Fields]

It’s great that you offer a clear explanation on why the do or don’t, BRAVO!

[@colettemitchell3412]

A lot of these styles were worn in the 80s. I love clogs. So much fun.

[@traceyjennings4361]

I got clogs last year, but I dress boho so it’s right up my alley! I like most of these trends and have recently added a bomber jacket. I think the most prominent footwear trend is cowboy boots , seeing them everywhere!

[@ksk5664]

Oh yes, I have been seeing those cowboy boots everywhere. It's time to bring out my Justin cowboy boots I bought in the 90's. I never got rid of them because they still look good when the occasion comes up to wear western wear.

[@latinaalma1947]

Yes Cowbot boots never out of style withnthis Texasn though I live in Guatemala doesnt look weird here thr nezt town over they make handmade cowboy boots custom fit Pastores . The entrance to the town has an 8 ft cowboy boot.

[@hummers7342]

green has always been my favorite color. loved that green and pink dress. I liked all your suggestions for us over 50's. I like loafers and clogs and the purses, too :)

[@rachelarmel7547]

Hi Angela..I agree with you on practically everything except the faux fur trend. I think it's fun but I also live in a cold climate. I'm so happy that green and hot pink are in. I love color too and think black, white and gray can really get boring after a while. Now if we can get the powers that be start to make cars in more interesting colors again besides mostly black, white, gray and an occasional red.

[@DenineMatsuda]

I’m so happy about the return of clogs. My pair wore out a decade ago and I’ve never found a replacement!

[@americafirst9144]

Look for companies that import European shoes. Sierra Trading Post imports quite a few European items.

[@TheresaRene360]

Hi Angela - you are SPOT on with everything you said about the 2022/2023 Fall/Winter trends in this video! Awesome job on this one!!! Ps. the decor at your new place looks lovely,

[@nancyvervloet4368]

Hot Pink ! Love it ! Finally I will be able to stock up ! I’m a girl from the eighties and hot pink is really my thing even when it was not in fashion.

[@marcienuber]

I'm all about green and maxi dresses (just bought a green maxi dress last week). Everything else...NO. Love the video, look forward to your fall fashion finds!

[@nancyholmes7012]

Green is a statement color! I love wearing it and purple

[@marshamengel1769]

Good video Angela! It's obvious you invested a lot of time in preparing this post! Well done! You are so genuine! Thank you! "Stay beautiful on the inside and out!"

[@angelamasson-fashionover50]

Thank you Marsha! I really appreciate your comment. A lot does go into finding all the right pictures and editing them all in at just the right time. Happy Thursday!

[@sophiecote290]

I love your video Angela ! There is a lot of work and research in there ! Thank you for the heads up on fall trends ! Regards from Quebec, Canada, Sophie

[@jackiec9285]

Thanks for this wonderful review Angela It’s so nice to know what’s coming up. I’m short and petite so have to be careful with proportions besides being over 60 Statement loafers and clogs will look clunky and make my legs look shorter. Yes to white tank tops for layering Right now I’m not crazy about the bomber jacket but I would try them on at least. I’m a fan of the sheer look for kimonos to wear over something, and long ones that look like a duster coat with a matching dress or pantsuit underneath and tops with sheer sleeves As a topper over underwear, no Hot pink for winter sounds great, no to extreme cutouts, yes to oversized button down shirts if moderately oversized and not too long, Yes to green, Yes to maxi skirts and dresses if not too much volume, No to fur accessories, No to baggy cargo pants, tapered pants are best for me, I don’t know about head to toe denim, I’d have to try it, No to top handle purses, prefer satchel or crossbody, No to duster length leather jackets. You’ve given me a lot to think about Angela. See you on the next one 👋😘

[@juliediehl4895]

Heck yes on that layered necklace thing you got going on in video.

[@kathybinthe6037]

I went to high school in the mid to late seventies and I loved my clogs. I wore them with jeans that were either slightly flared or straight leg and they were full length. No cropped or ankle pants. I don’t even think cropped or ankle pants were even in style then. We just switched over to cutoffs in the summer and brought out the Dr. scholl wood sandals.

[@karireyes6710]

I like the new style of loafers, they would look good with certain pants.

[@ellelorraine3540]

I never tire of denim. I did like the fur headband and I love the green. Great video! Thank you.

[@tdsollog]

I’m 51, and I must be the outlet here. I’m looking forward to grungy looks… the cargo pants, dark autumnal colors and man-repeller looks, including the chunky loafers.

[@k9rescuer934]

I had to laugh when I saw the ‘man repellent’ comment 😂

[@jlina]

Ha! 64 here, and I never thought white tank tops went away either :) wait till you're 64 and men think you're invisible then you'll want them to look at you LOL

[@janice8740]

I’m 100% with you on the crossbody bags! I’m looking forward to the pop of green🎉

[@dittohead7044]

I adore my loafers that were made by Etienne Aigner. I’ve had them resoled as well. They’re very feminine, which is what I gravitate to. I have loads of friends that are fond of the lower cut duck shoes. We live in a very preppy area and they never go out of style I’m glad the long duster is back in style because I’m always so cold in the winter

[@hollyh8509]

Love loafers and have many diff styles!!!

[@jlina]

Oooh! A boat with colored boards in your living room that is so cool!

[@angelamcpherson8283]

I totally agree a sheer kimono would be fashionable !

[@denisekrueger8745]

Thanks for all the time you put into this!!! Happy about green!! The rest is a wait and see for me

[@judyb99]

Yes, A FUN video of what is to come! I have not looked ahead, so thanks for you doing it! I agree with you on most everything. I do not like cut outs, or green. So glad I found your channel!!! I subscribed!

[@christinecarter8727]

Love the white tank as a layering piece ~ yes to the bomber jacket. Absolutely NO to the sheer 🤦🏻‍♀️! Love your taste in furniture, your living room looks lovely. No baggy cargo pants 😂 either.

[@angelamasson-fashionover50]

Hi Christine! I wanted to get a video of our house out a week or so ago but things were delayed and somethings are still delayed but I just decided to film what we have...better than nothing so that video will be out next Thursday

[@BelindaShanle]

Yes to the clogs! So comfortable and love them with the straight and bootcut jeans👍I just bought a pair of cargo pants but they are not that baggy.

[@kateyk4340]

I love the oversized button ups....so versitile and great cost per wear

[@Hamigal]

Yes on the loafers and clogs. Yes on the maxi skirts. No on the cut outs, baggy cargos, sheers, and fur. Denim is always good. Green depends on color and style.

[@Sophesi]

Me too, I prefer crossbody for everyday wear it is just so much easier. I love chartreuse green it is so pretty

[@carolynledford6484]

Omg!!! Girl, I had so forgotten Tom Cruise in “Risky Business “!!! So funny. I agree with you on the colorful kids clothes and bland “old people”clothes. I just turned 69 in September, and just because I am a woman of a certain age does NOT mean I don’t like color. Maybe the fashion industry needs to cater to us a little more. Can I get an amen??I really loved your video. Thanks for sharing!!

[@chrisfreemanmastin9358]

I loved your story. I also have a bulging disc in my lower back and pain in my knees ankles and hands. But I found by accident that when I put the music of my youth on pandora and dance like no one’s watching I don’t feel the pain as much. Your story validated that it’s not just in my head. Thanks so much!

[@glorialeder989]

I am so glad you like pink. It is my favorite color.

[@patricialegare6847]

Yes yes color come to me. I am loving the splash of pink.

[@lindahughes5314]

I like bags that have a top handle and a crossbody strap.

[@shirleydrake1602]

OMG I’ve kept my long leather jacket long enough that it’s back in style!

[@SirenaSpades]

It's great! I just found a vintage one and I didn't even know they were back! I was just feeling nostalgic!

[@janithmathews4195]

I love all the denim! I like the maxi dresses and the top handle purses.

[@karendobbs8153]

Hi Angela, no to the loafers and the clogs, sheer clothes, fur accessories, too much denim, or too match denim. I love the white tank, bomber jackets, and love oversized button down shirts, especially cute cozy flannels in the Fall/Winter months. I don’t like the baggy cargo pants. Green looks beautiful on you with your hair and skin tone, but, don’t usually care for it on me. That’s all I can remember. There was more I didn’t like than I did like. Haha! I do have to say that Fall clothes are so much prettier than Summer, even though, I love Summer the best. Great video Angela, always fun when you have a new one.

[@karendobbs8153]

Too matchy denim I meant.

[@SandysDIYHealthAdvocacy]

new to your channel, and I like it. Thank you. I can't resist saying this (and I hope you love it): your use of "us" vs. "we" was correct! Whoever left a nasty comment about it was wrong. The reason? You weren't saying "us" as a subject (in which case it "we" would have been correct). You were using it as an OBJECT of the preposition "for" when you said, "for us ladies..." You are correct. If it had been a subject, then you would have used "we." An example is as follows: "We ladies over 50 LOVE Angela's channel." Have a nice day

[@angelamasson-fashionover50]

Gold star for me!!! LOL. Welcome to the community and thank you for your explanation Sandy!!

[@beverlydenton1425]

I love loafers, green, moto jacket colors, but I’m with you on the fur and platform shoes. Love your channel

[@nansako8214]

No no no to the sheer trend! White tanks and head to toe denim and green especially Hunter green Rock it Ladies.

[@Mamakate2382]

I have that same sheer, short kimono you featured and at 72 I’ve been wearing it with my jeans and tank top all summer. Love it.

[@jananesbitt8890]

Clogs, Bomber jackets, hot pink, and green are the trends I am willing to embrace.

[@jaynefulton473]

I love my clogs! I've loved them since 1972 and never giving them up!

[@pw2035]

I don't shop often, but I walked into my favorite high-end clothing store the other day and walked out after five minutes. It looked like a 90-year-old buyer had purchased lines of clothing that had been fashionable for 50-year-olds 50 years ago: oversized, brightly-colored, large-print florals everywhere. No way will I pay premium dollars for clothing that I would pass up at an estate sale. This store had always carried tasteful, expensive, quality merchandise. What a disappointment.

[@latinaalma1947]

Sounds like the Mango videos I have been watching...HUGE prints...really awful.Oversize matronly styles big double breasted blazers, wide shoulders, loose leg pleated slacks, just not me even at 75! It wasnt me at 20 or 30! I am 5ft 4" an hourglass Romantic those things swallow me whole and make me look 500 lbs when I am a curvy 130 so NOOOOO! I had a pr of navy suede clogs wooden soles in the 60s I kept kicking the inside of my own ankles ouch...learned my lesson then. I have three bomber jackets one is black and cream with small emboirdered flowers in just strategic areas really cant wait to wear that with white camis or a pink t shirt or long sleeve tee both are v neck. Hot pink is not my color with light warm skin amd warm blonde hair but I do have a handbag that color I will wear that with black this fall. Sequins are in this fall so I will wear my white sequin bomber jacket thrifted I will wear with my white cami. I dont own one true green item. Spring bright green I have a blazer but it is three button and I am wearing all one button ones now, not too long for my short body. No to the fur thing, well I DO have a nice brown fur trimmed wrap blanket not too thick for winter that I will wear about twice this winter at night here in the tropics but when you jeed something li.e that you need it. Hmm, glad I didnt toss my denim jackets...was getting ready to a couple of mos ago hadnt worn them for a long time. I have a well fitting button up nice denim dress in a light weight . I live in the tropics so no long leather for me I have a beautiful black leather jacket traditional zip up with collar never goes out of style, I wear it about twice a year around Christmas, viewing decorated Christmas trees in the town square.

I remember wearing penny loafers and tassel loafers as a little girl in the 60s and even the preppy look and the 70s and early 80s in college. I also loved wearing clogs in college. I remember having a very comfy pair that looked like I had on boots but that’s because my jeans or long skirts really set them off. I love bomber jackets but I’m plus size I’d be very careful with how they look on me.

Everything you mention in this video except the long leather jacket I already have. I am going to be 69 years old next month and I still wear those clothes especially my cargo pants! I think that some accessories with a little fur are so much fun. But I think it's up to the person and how comfortable they feel with what they're wearing. I am an artist and a New Yorker so I feel very comfortable with these these outfits. I think people should wear whatever makes them happy.
