When I was a little girl, my ballet dance teacher gave me the best advice. She said "Good posture will always make your clothes look better. Stand up straight, shoulders down, chin up and pretend someone is pulling you from the top with a string." When we age, we tend to slump forward and lose that youthful bounce in our step. I may move a bit slower now but I sit and walk with regal purpose.

The first time I consciously lifted my chest and shoulders from being rolled down and forward, I was breathless and exhausted at the end of the day. It was basically isometric exercise. The muscles between my ribs especially had shortened from being in the wrong position for years which affected my breathing. Now it's not an effort but I do occasionally have to remind myself.

Absolutely! However, by my experience, today is not easy to find clothes that fit to a nice posture. It takes me trying on dozens and dozens of jackets that I can put on my dancer body: they only fit if I slump, lift my shoulders and force them forward - I look and feel like a gorilla 😂 But if I stand straight, the cut is really awkward. Just look at all the mannequins in the shops, horrible posture everywhere.

Grandmama always said she never followed fashion or trends. However she adapted fashion to her own style and taste, and used to take some trendy tips to keep her style fresh. Accessories were one of her secret weapons. A classic outfit with trendy shoes or jewelry would make a big difference. But the most important thing was attitude according to her words. If you feel young and joyful that’s what all the people will see.

How many women with menopausal belly can tuck in their shirt without looking like an idiot??? I think that tuck in only the front is ridiculous. Just like pulling all your hair over to one side. Looks really weird from both front and back. Is that the trend we all should 'keep an eye on'? I sure do. So I can toss it.

I am not a slave to fashion, as we can see unhealthy waves of ridiculous trends being introduced every season, but I do understand that clothing industry needs these constant changes to attract clients. My approach is simple, I keep an eye on trends but apply only these elements that suite my individual style, hence 80/20 is a reasonable proportion. Many of my classic garments survived a decade thanks to a high quality material and couture. My favorite seasonal updates on trend happen in Spring and Summer, because of a hot climate I live in and it's only natural to seek replacement for fading T-shirts, prints and cotton dresses. Marie-Anne, I ❤ all your suggestions and as usually applied common sense and elegance of French Chic Style.

I'm sitting here today with my biggest new splurge, and it's a pair of Converse sneaks in a vivid cobalt blue. We're talking BLUE here. My task for the day is to look on KZbin for some cool ways to lace them so the bows are hidden. In spite of their assertive color, they'll go with absolutely everything else. I'm also looking for some "elevated" buttons for my thrifted black blazer that fits like it was made just for me.

Fabulous video. Yay, no more skinny jeans! I have rarely parted with scarves, belts, and handbags. I think it actually saves money to have a closet based on 80/20. I buy some pieces that are styled to use a poor man's tailoring for weight loss. I can use belts to cinch a waist, a scarf to camouflage areas where the shirt or sweater seems too big, etc. My basic pumps may be dated, but I will still wear them if they are well-constructed with leather and look new or slightly worn. Some of my vintage '90s Coach bags still look barely worn, so I get them out and use them occasionally. I have enough to be creative and regularly buy a couple of things on sale to feel fresh. I think if it is dated, it can look good if the grooming is impeccable.

Thanks for your wonderful video which as always packed full of great ideas. I love your suggestion of adding simple things like a belt of a pair of shoes to update an outfit. These can be inexpensive items that can really make an outfit pop especially when you are on a budget.❤ from Dublin

Firstly Marie-Anne I love the hair style please keep the side parting, it really does suit you, I personally think that whatever I am wearing and no matter how nice an outfit it is if my hair is messy then it’s a non and not a wow which is

I do enjoy your videos and have adopted several of your suggestions and I definitely feel more confident as a result. I love wide leg trousers on others and whilst I have 2 pairs I don’t feel ‘right’ in them - just much bigger than I feel in straight leg trousers! Any ideas on the best way to wear them? Thank you.

I have a similar pair of green, wide-leg trousers which you model with a pink v- neck sweater. I would never have thought of that combination but it looks beautiful. Where is the sweater from? I would love to have a link for it. Thank you for all of your wonderful tips!

I love your outfit with the brown coat and navy bag..😍 I love navy.. I have started to wear, recently, pink tops and green pants.. do not know how I reached that combo, but looks good.. What I like to wear, among others, and do not see on older women are the pants with low crotch or whatever is called..

When I was a young woman in the dating scene, I had a young man compliment me and mention that when he first met a women, he noticed her shoes. He said he could tell fairly accutately if they would be compatible by the choice and condition of her shoes. I had never considered that men paid that much attention. It has stuck with me for 40 years.

Love your tips! I have been watching/following you for a little while and have had a lot of fun updating what I already have in my wardrobe...it's mostly 'classic style'. I would like to add a tip: To look modern (or at our best) do not wear clothes that are too tight. If looking at the size tag's number bothers you, cutoff the tag! No one's going to come up and ask "What size is that?" but they will notice if it's too tight. 😉 If it fits well, you'll look so much better! 🥰🥰

Fit is extremely important 😃 every time I say go for tailored pieces people scream they can't wear anything tight - but tailored does not mean tight it means - it fits!

Wear timeless classics that suits you and add a modern and fresh detail. Do not wear just modern pieces all together. That looks bizzare on women 50+

I think make up is the most important tip! You don’t need much but if you always go without makeup I think it’s the biggest sign you’ve given up and just don’t care. Not chic, right Marie-Anne?

@MarieAnneLecoeur I have two screws in my left foot and have lost mobility in the foot, unfortunately, I can only wear sneakers becuase my foot does not bend. Are there any style tips for someone who has to sadly wear sneakers all the time? I am very sad, but after broken bones and surgery and dozens of doctors this is it for me. Thank you!

I am 51 now and used to love vintage clothing. I still have some classic pieces but love the idea of modernizing with a few statement pieces or trends. I love shoes and scarves. I will add some color or texture to make an otherwise very simple outfit feel more modern and fresh! Great tips, thank you!

I’ve always been very particular about proper fit. I make sure pants are the correct size and length and suit my pear shape. I often buy clothes to fit the widest part of my body well and then get them taken in and to fit the slimmer parts. That custom fit makes a huge difference-slimming and elegant

I would use the green old blazer with jeans, the white blouse would go well with jeans or an A shapped red skirt. I would use the green skirt with a orange, pink or dark blue turtle neck sweater and use a belt.

I was watching this video as I was heading out the door to walk my dog and looked at what I was wearing -- khaki joggers and a rib knit grey t-shirt with white sneakers. It wasn't bad, but looked rather sad -- the khaki joggers would have been better with a white t-shirt or navy & white striped t-shirt and cute flats or sandals; and the grey t-shirt would have looked really good with white jeans and the white sneakers. I'm still a work in progress.
