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.

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.

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.
