How To Look Slimmer Instantly: Style Tips For Women Over 50

[@andreaslitfin6327]

Great. Sounds so simple, feels like you are a real good friend. 👍

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Merci Andrea - simple is the very best 🙏 because it works 😃 😘

[@camposrosanam]

I'm a 69 year old Brazilian granny. I wear size 10 -12. You know, most Brazilians have a more curvy figure even when we are young. Close to 70, things get more problematic. I love your tips and pieces of advice, Marie Ann, however, many times I realise that those items that flatter your slimmer figure with longer legs don't apply to me out to other women who have similar bodies to mine. If you got a friend with a plumper figure and tried out some outfits on her, it would help me and women like me so much! It would be lovely.

[@wannabe41]

Your advice is always so practical! One thing I’ve noticed about my body as I am aging is that my weight is distributed differently than when I was younger. I’ve recently lost weight, but I’m carrying more weight in my tummy and waist then when I was younger but at the same weight. So I’ve had to make adjustments in my fashion choices to accommodate my body’s change in shape.

[@user-tv4oc5ox9h]

Congrats on the weight loss!

[@llamasugar5478]

Congratulations on moving toward health! I’ve always been rectangular, but I too noticed a big change as I passed 50. It’s like all the fat cells migrated to my middle. 🍐🍎

Absolutely right - I could have written that myself . Weight is not a guide at all.

[@suzannehall5200]

I know what you mean. I am an apple shape and have lost a lot of weight in the past two years and it all comes off my arms and legs. Losing it between the bust and waist is proving to be impossible.

[@LavenderBlue-g1j]

Iam definitely much fluffier at the same weight I was at 18 and 2 sizes bigger!

[@reppi8742]

You saved me a fortune! I am guilty of an overflowing closet yet I have nothing to wear. I just bought some new clothes. After watching a previous video, I realized I bought more of what doesn't really look that good! I returned the items. I am honing down what I have and keeping only what I love to wear! I was buying what was advertised to woman of my age. But inside, I am not in that group - no wonder I felt so miserable every time I got dressed! Thank you! I think I have rediscovered myself!

[@elizabethpetrie2732]

Good tips, as always. May I respectfully add another suggestion? Good posture, besides being beneficial anyway, will add up to a couple of inches in height compared to a slouched position. Plus, holding one’s self tall, head up, shoulders back, adds an immediate air of confidence. P.S. Having just returned from several weeks in the brutal heat of southern Europe, I can add that standing tall creates a bit of room between your clothing and your body, giving a chance for air to circulate and cool you a bit.

[@nataliamiles7109]

Thank you Elizabeth! A straight back and pulled-in tummy is essential for looking elegant and taller. During my nightly 5-mile speedwalks/running, I constantly remind myself to keep a straight back with a pulled in tummy and relaxed shoulders. Practice makes perfect.

[@emmagoldspink9052]

So true about getting the lingerie right. My mum lived in France in the sixties and the mantra she always brought me up with was ' a French lady will always dress from the inside out ' . She always insisted that that I had good bras and briefs! Thanks as always for you invaluable advice Marie-Anne, you have shown me how to dress as I've always wanted ❤

My partner has always told me that confidence is a big plus for him. So, in spite of being a bigger, older woman, I've just updated my wardrobe with things that you've suggested give me more of a shape. He hates when I wear shapeless things. I need to remember that he enjoys and appreciates my shape. I need to also!

[@dms0110]

I am short and a size 4 in US, and if I wear shapewear I manage to look and feel like my old youthful self. Being an inverted triangle, finding outfits can be a challenge. Sometimes I find I really like to show off my broad shoulders. If I wear clothes that widen my hips it balances my appearance. However, if I wear any dark colors below the waste it is a disaster. I look so much better in white jeans, and I disappear in dark jeans LOL. Thank you so much for your encouraging informative videos. Since watching you my wardrobe is much more stylish. :)

[@Jennie8684]

I’m a similar shape Debra, although a US size 8 in tops and 6 in bottoms. I am petite, with broad shoulders, large bust, no hips and (relatively) long legs. I find if I wear black pants/jeans, my bottom half looks too small and my legs look long and skinny. I tend to wear darker tops and lighter pants to widen my hips. I love white jeans and feel at my best when wearing them.

[@dms0110]

​@@Jennie8684 Hi Jennie, I am very top heavy and a petite 5'2" with a pancake butt, skinny legs and short legs as well. I measure 36, 25, 34. Isn't it great that we can style clothes to make us look good? Flare leg pants in a lighter color than the top truly does work nicely. Peplum tops work nicely, too, as do v-neck tops. Some days I feel like I can fall over forward with these boobs being so out there. LOL But we are all beautiful none-the-less. After all, Angelina Jolie and Kaley Cuoco are both inverted triangles. :)

[@thereseclark797]

I am not 50+ yet (I am in my early 40s) but I am definitely taking notes. I am a rectangle - very athletic but without six pack abs. I do find that tummy flattening underwear helps me look and feel better. I am doing the best I can to be proactive in avoiding weight gain by having a very healthy diet, keeping food proportions in check, and staying active by running, swimming, yoga and lifting weights.

[@nataliamiles7109]

Dear Marie-Anne, You are such a beautiful woman inside and out. I love your enthusiasm and passion for elegance and educating others. All of these tips are so helpful. It is nice to know that I am already following these tips, especially the high heels, blazers, and pencil skirts. Thank you! Natalia Utah

[@k.l.8804]

I have a question for menopausal women about shapewear. Do they not make you sweat copious amounts? I'm a woman in my early 40ies but I have, for ten years now, been unable to wear synthetic fabrics. If I do I sweat a ton. I can only wear breathable natural fabrics, one hundred percent. If its even as little as 4% elastane added into a cotton top or t-shirt I get uncomfortably sweaty. So shapewear is really the worst thing to wear for me, since its pretty much entirely made of synthetic fibers. I'm thinking many women my age and older, with hot flashes etc, how do you manage wearing shapewear?? Do you have a trick up your sleeves? Or are there perhaps shapewear in natural fibers?? Would love to hear about your experiences 🙏

So glad you showed the yellow "lamp shade" dress again: went shoppoing after your video about those sack dresses- meant to buy something light for at home in the heat- saw the perfect dress according to the gospel of Marie-Anne 😚- fittet bust, fold down the front (Kellerfalte in German), sort of african design in black and white, beautiful cotton, perfect length. Size up to L- thought I'll never fit, but bought it anyway to alter or try to copy. Put it on: it was (a little) TOO BIG!!!😅. Made my day! It is still lovely! Had to tell you!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I didn’t gain weight in middle age, but my waist thickened by at least 4-5 inches anyway, making it so much harder to find clothes. It is indeed frustratingly difficult to find non-baggy, loose dresses that fit my waist and the rest of my body, but there are some out there, keep searching. My compromise is that I wear the comfortable shapeless ones when home alone, which is the majority of my time, but a better-flattering, more tailored one when I go out. Tailored dresses, if bought to fit the largest measurement, the waist and bust in my case, can usually be tailored to improve the fit elsewhere. I recommend washing and machine-drying them at least once (if this will be the future care routine), before getting the tailoring done, if natural-fiber fabric, which is a must for me. I never put clothes in my dryer, though, unless I deliberately want to shrink them.

It looked a bit like the first black dress you showed. I thought it was fine when I looked in the mirror at home but when I saw myself in another mirror while I was out I looked so skinny that I was in a bad humour all the way home. I didn’t love myself in that moment. This video explains why the dress looks so awful on me while a light blue dress with the same shape and a higher neckline doesn’t. Oh and my widest part is my thighs. That’s why I never liked longer jackets.
