Good day Maam 😊❤ love you vlog. Im banker just turned 52 and Asian 5'1 petite and fair complexion. What hair style should I have to do for my age and I always color my hair in black because my hair easily turned gray in brown. Is green floral applicable for my age thank you Maam❤

[@Bopzibeel]

Fit, fit, fit! I cannot emphasise this enough to my friends. Wear the right length for your height and size up, it's easier to get a bigger size tailored than to be seeing all your lumps and bumps squeezed in the wrong places. No baggy dresses either girls, they look awful on anyone unless you're tall and reed thin. No baggy all over tops and trousers too.

[@metrower42]

At 81 on my last birthday, I have decided I do not have time to get or be old. While I am sitll blessed with enjoying good health, I am baking French bread almost every week (that I share with friends), stay active in my church, am busily involved in Family History (which keeps my cognitive skills active). Iin summer I grow a small garden, mow my lawn, and tend the flower gardens. In addition to these things I keep my own house, do my own shopping etc. Thank you for your tips on how to dress, act and feel attractive, it is more than just not looking old and frumpy, it is confidence in who we are and who we have become.

Someone in the comments mentioned don't let any gray hair show to not look older. I disagree and think Marie-Anne would totally rock gray if she has gray. I stopped coloring my hair at 55 and now after going through salt and pepper am about to be platinum. It is so pretty! The solid black looks aging.

[@ChristysChannelYall]

I agree. I have blonde hair that half of it has turned silver. I left it alone and people ask me where I got it colored 😂. I’m 51.

[@jodycourt]

I'm 61 and have had Salt&Pepper hair for 10 years. I've had more compliments on my hair than ever in my life. And many ask me where I "get it done." I say, "God did it."

[@ah5721]

Fried hair from dye and grow out never looks good.

[@phoenixrising5338]

It depends on your gray. I went totally gray and looked awful. The tone of the gray was totally unflattering to my skin tone. Extremely aging. Back to coloring in a flash.

[@meherenow]

Maybe we should call “grey” hair our natural colour..because that’s what it is..I’m happy to return to my natural colour even if it means transitioning for awhile to grow out fried or brassy colour..it’s just a temporary phase I’m old enough to endure and handle with grace

[@kittymetal186]

I'm nearly 65 and I was watching this...while wearing a new paisley dress. To me, it is not the pattern that is aging: it is the quality, colours, size and placement of the pattern, style, cut and length that determine how it looks. I bought it from an English shop that sells classic designs and fabric patterns primarily for the 30-40 year old age group. How a woman accessorises the dress is also important as to whether something is aging (jewellery, shoes, handbag). Finally, make-up and hairstyling can make something aging or not. I am very wary of set "rules" about what is aging or not (apart from the non-no of polyester elastic waist trousers and the unforgivable leggings and loose shirts lol). This is just my opinion and my own experience so to each his/her own! Happy New Year to all 😁

[@michalinaokrent6672]

I was just going to point that out. Also, even just what you pair an item with can make a huge difference. I like the paisley print but always had a problem finding anything in the print - somehow I didn't see it much where I live in the past 35 years or so that I've been buying my own clothing. Earlier than that, the pattern was used mostly on scarves that the older generation wore (people born about a hundred years ago). Maybe that's why it's associated (at least by ppl whose grandparents were born a century ago) with "old age". Just recently though I've seen a whole collection of clothing for "young women" (20-30 yo) in a popular chain. The quality is lacking... But I had purchased a silk scarf with a paisley print months earlier and I finally started wearing it. I mostly dress "smart casual", wear my hair long, and I wore the scarf in a sort of a nonchallant manner. People still treated me as if they thought I was much younger than I am (I'm used to it but don't necessarily like it). The scarf didn't make me look old or even older. I actually now want to dress "older" because I'm too annoyed by men younger than me by 15-20 years treating me as if I'm their classmate... Well, the scarf didn't give me that "maturing effect". The paisley dress in the video was just a bad design, I've seen some fantastic haute couture paisley designs (out of my price range, unfortunately) - they looked fresh and modern.

[@kittymetal186]

@@michalinaokrent6672 Very well said. Also there are things that are classic/always look good that could be seen (incorrectly) as "aging" - a paisley scarf, tweed clothing, a camel coat, cardigans, pearl necklace, etc. To me, these look good at any age (depending on styling them too).

[@kittymetal186]

I should have added that an important way to avoid looking old is good, consistent skin care. I am nearly 65 but I have no facial wrinkles (my eyes are a little bit hooded though) which has knocked many years off my actual age! I have never had Botox nor any cosmetic or surgical procedure. I no longer wear foundation. Heavy foundation, powder and concealers can be very aging.

[@helenebennie3961]

@@michalinaokrent6672 I actually liked the paisley design dress but I also think it probably suits the younger demographic. I always love Sportsgirl stuff but have given up trying it on as I think it makes me look like "mutton dressed up as lamb." (I live in Australia.)

[@leapintothewild_original]

Agree. Here in the US, often a paisley dress reads upper crust, old money, the horsey set, preppy, etc., but not the age of the wearer. And it's a popular, classic print for beautiful silk or wool scarves often worn by both men and women with a gorgeous cashmere or tweed coat. I'd bet this is also true in Britain.

[@pg4662]

I'm 65, developed my style from my Italian mamma so I had an advantage! I look a good chunk younger but I do wonder why everyone is obsessed with looking younger. Not saying it's wrong but it is an obsession I think. And it's more about finding YOUR styles and looking healthy!! My aunt, on preparing for her 100th birthday lunch was given an option of 2 dresses that were bought for her, she looked at both, pointed to one and said ' that's so dull, it's a party, not a funeral!! And that's the attitude I've inherited!!

[@MsRosieA]

The part where you said you wonder why everyone is obsessed with looking younger,made me think… I think I would have to say it’s probably because you have to start coming to terms with the fact that you’re heading in the direction of no longer being sexually attractive, which is a big deal if you’ve used to turning heads…

[@pg4662]

@@MsRosieA good point, but why is the obsession on being sexually attractive I wonder? Not as if they're still needing to reproduce, which is what sexual attraction is about, in basic terms!! But I'm happy to be turning heads, but I wouldn't want anyone thinking of me in that way because there are some weird people out there!

Yes! I have a small bust but have become very droopy. Underwires worked when I was younger and was more perky, but as time went by they just became extremely uncomfortable. Ugh! Finding just the right soft and supportive bras was a real pain! I did finally find some that felt good all day and lifted me. So I bought six of them in various colors. Problem solved - for now. LOL

Excellent thoughts shared in this video. Two aging looks for women are thick black under eye liner and a very dark tan year round from a tanning salon that makes skin look like leather.

[@ah5721]

Yes! There is a lady with a 60s flip and teased bufount shoulder length hair cut and thick eyeliner with miniskirts pyramid punk belts who looks like she stepped out of a emo fever dream but she's 60. The dark eyeliner makes her eyes look saggy. It's pretty pretty bad.

[@michelecraig9658]

Oh yes...that black eyeliner really draws attention to ones natural laugh lines and crows feet. The thing is, you can do the same thing with softer colors, and it doesn't do the same thing

[@frostflower5555]

Better yet, not to even wear eye liner! I only wore eye-liner in my 20's.

[@sharonwilliams9249]

They make lighter color eyeliners now. if you get one that looks fairly nude or off white on you and put it in your waterline or just under the eye your eyes look larger and brighter. Use a dark eyeliner above you eye but in a very thin line to make them look larger and more defined. No cat eye wing though.

[@saallday294]

For Sure! I see people all the time with dark tans and it says, " I am old"

Great tips. As a dog-owner living in a rain forest environment, though, nothing will ever convince me to give up my anorak - it’s an essential piece of outdoor gear. That said, it’s reserved for dog walks and casual trips to do chores; I always wear a trench coat on “proper” outings.

She wasn't criticizing you. Obviously if the anorak is being used as utility clothing that's fine. Ditto riding pants or shooting shirts.

But The New Look had the Coco Chanel character rocking some magnificent trenchcoats in every episode! I was just salivating those coats. It’s terrible to live in a climate that never gets cold because you can never wear a decent coat, much less a trenchcoat when it only rains every ten years. I would just get paint on an expensive coat and be afraid to wear it.

[@renephillips6739]

This was the wittiest video ever! I laughed from the beige sheep all the way to the end. My tips for dressing younger: Don't hang on to the style you embraced in your 20s (if you're now 50 or 60+). People tend to hang on to the era in which they were their happiest, and I get that, but ... don't). That frosted pink lipstick (which I loved) and those poofy bangs moved on, and so should we. Second tip - in addition to our skin tone changing over time, our silhouette changes as well - even for the fittest among us. Dress for your current shape. Wear updated glasses - both prescription and sunshades.

[@JillWhitcomb1966]

I'm coming up upon our 40th high school class reunion. It's interesting to see how many of my classmates still wear hairstyles/ makeup styles/ clothing styles that are similar to what we wore in the early 80's. It doesn't make anyone look younger, but does make them look as if they are stuck in a time warp.

I walk on hills for a couple of miles per day with my dog, and have found the anorak to be by far the most practical choice for moderately cool weather, because I can store what I need (water, dish, dog treats, leash, an extra jacket, gloves) in the large pockets and thus not need to carry a pack. I do not think that if a garment is super-practical that aging has anything to do with it. I also think that while geometric designs like stripes suit some people (especially those who are taller and angular), other people have body styles/essences that are much more suited to something softer and that florals can be appropriate for them and look good on them. And that age has nothing to do with it.

[@druidriley3163]

Agree. Why do people wear anoraks as we age? Because we're more interested in practicality than style?

[@teresacarle294]

😊Yes, I live in the Verdugo Mtns. Love hiking up & down my steep hilly streets. Still trying to improve gait & recover full strength in my left leg 〰️after having broken it (& sprained ankle) followed by two surgeries. Sometimes I'll borrow my neighbor's puppy🐶 for company. 👟Trainers or hiking🥾 boots & a lightweight anorak are required. As you said, the latter is perfect to hold phone, keys, chapstick, mittens, sunnies, scarf, etc. Should you get warm, you can easily tie it around your waist too. 😉Of course, I stay away from tri-color pastel versions that Marie-Ann featured😵‍💫. That would definitely push me into frumpy grandma territory👵. I typically stick w/brighter blues or black to coordinate w/my other sporty gear.

I see Anna Wintour wearing floral dresses frequently, and I would hesitate to characterize her as out-of-style, frumpy, or looking old for her actual age (74). These kinds of broad characterizations like "stripes are better than florals" or "don't wear a design with more than two colors" are a lot less helpful than suggestions that what really matters is dressing in quality garments that are suited to your own personal characteristics. And that many different types of styles can be attractive at any age if worn in the right way, by the right person, I think.

[@TriviRocks]

Clothes should suit your personality. Attitude is everything! 😎

[@amandajane8227]

[@ratgirl13]

Well, I’ve broken all these rules-that’s right, I’m a rebel-and I am old and whatever ages me is fine with me-and being invisible doesn’t bother me. I’m at the age where I’ve decided that I’m going to wear whatever I want-I don’t want to look young, I want to enjoy having lived to being old. No offense towards you, I enjoyed your video I found it quite amusing and fun.❤

[@EdelweisSusie]

For Brits I would add - anything from M&S!!! It’s like a magnet (due to a very impressive PR department) for women over 50, who then bemoan the fact that they feel invisible - well, of course you do when every third woman’s wearing the same clothes as you (and your matching husband). I never set foot in the place and am complimented virtually every week by people who think I’m in my early to mid 40’s when I’m actually 68! Listen to this lovely woman - she’s a class act and not just in the wardrobe dept.

Wonderful compilation of mistakes to avoid looking older. You're absolutely right and I agree, Marie-Anne. You're always looking youthful and love your humour. Merci for your inspiring work and wisdom. Happy New Year, ma chère! 🎆🥂🍾

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Merci AW and for your continued support throughout the year 🤗

[@oldcrowcreations]

Excellent tips Marie-Anne. A good bra is a must. I haven’t worn an underwire in many years. Luckily there are many made these days without. I also think less makeup is sometimes better. Unless your going to be on camera, a thick coat of foundation isn’t necessary. Floral pants can be tricky even if you’re young. Merci! 💕

[@renephillips6739]

Completely agree that less makeup is better (and I LOVE makeup). And just like cropped wide leg pants are not right for everyone (or anyone, really), sparkly highlighter isn't either. I have tried repeatedly to get that "glow" but end up with frosted wrinkles that were less visible BEFORE the highlighter.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

I use very little makeup even on camera - I can't get used to putting on more than the bare minimum 💋

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Try Nuxe Prodigieux Or Rene it is what I use - it has tiny gold flecks 😘

Just wear what makes you happy ,feel comfortable with and looks good or pull off,you do you boo😊

[@cogranmom4441]

I've been wearing paisley my whole life because I like it. I believe you should always wear what makes you feel comfortable. I also believe you should never wear leggings if you are overweight unless you are home. However the older I've gotten the less I care what anyone thinks. As long as my bra isn't showing, my fat is covered decently then I wear what makes me happy.

[@cattuslavandula]

As a woman of 58, I wear whatever the hell I want. If I like it, I wear it. No outfit is going to make me look old or young. I look 58 regardless. All that matters is that I'm happy with myself. Relax, smile, and enjoy.

Happy new year, MarieAnne. This past year I turned 72, and I've had a desire to revitalize my style. I started this summer. I think I made some good choices. I enjoyed this video even though I see some surprises in my closet, like paisley sweaters. I can't help liking paisley. For those of us who like walking in the woods or on trails no matter what the weather IMHO I might like to wear an anorak as appropriate. In the city I like my London Fog trench coat or wool coat. Anyway, your suggestions are great. I lost my suitcase in Munich Airport filled with winter clothes for a trip to the alpine Christmas markets and now I'm rethinking and replacing.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

So sorry you lost your luggage 🙁 I hope your style journey brings you joy in 2024 🤗

[@normakeith4472]

Oh nooooo....I am almost 60 and I was going along so well until you mentioned floral pants!! I just LOVE them and have several pair. I love to wear them on my casual days around the house with a tee and flats (I do wear good quality leather flats). I so enjoy your fashion tips, tricks and advice. I do believe as we age, good supportive, COMFORTABLE undergarments are a must! Blessings for the New Year!

[@Mainecoon_Izzy]

New subscriber here; I just ‘checked in’ & ended up watching the whole video! I agree with everything you mentioned, absolutely💯 I’ve noticed through my journey in fashion, (which is definitely low-key) I’ve toned everything down, especially make-up. I find make-up makes many beautiful women look older…it settles into their fine lines, accentuating them… There are so many variables; quality of fabric, color, and silhouette. I remember visiting a consignment shop in Santa Monica, California, and I couldn’t believe the beautiful garments I found in perfect condition for pennies! For I am grateful, when wealthy women discard beautiful garments.⭐️ My ex-husband is French. He’s a pastry chef and a natural, when it comes to fashion! He taught me so much when I was 22! Even though he’s my “ex” we are still very good friends♥️♥️always. We were very young, & chose completely different paths…

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Bonjour Izzy and welcome 🤗 keeping everything simple as you say is very French Chic - no doubt assisted by your ex 😃 buying at consignment shops is a great way to find quality at great prices x

[@steemdup]

One of your best tips for me has been to carry a leather bag with structure! I have thrown out my slouchy hobo style bags, and feel better for it. I am also over 60 and feel young mentally, so I want to look my best, as well. Thank you Marie-Anne

[@Moluccan56]

Great coaching for stepping into the new year. Merci, Marie Anne. My resolution is to avoid mid rise anything. At 67, I discovered the comfort and appeal of the waistband which also prevents the muffin top from coming out to play. Looking forward to more in 2024! 🎉 🎊

[@luluandmeow]

I have found that a high rise waist can also draw attention to the belly area a bit too much, I prefer mid-rise. Also with high rise if you wear a jumper over the trousers it can hide the waistband/pockets/belt and again highlight a plain belly area which may be protruding so not great to show off. I prefer the mid-way and balance in most things.

[@Moluccan56]

I am a trained cosmetic pro who prides herself on using youthful and neutral makeup...No thick heavy foundation..always start with a clean moisturized face..then line blur or light fillers..Use concealer to cover darkness and blemishes as neede..no blue eyeshadow..go for neutrals followed by mascara..lips should add some color w/o being overdone..AND PLEASE NO LIPLINER IN DARKER COLORS !!

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Sounds like our 'no makeup' makeup Carol 😃 merci for sharing your professional views x

[@tigress63]

OMG - yes! Lip Liners have gone nuts. Ladies, draw within the lines, you're not a performer (circus or otherwise) needing to go way outside of your natural lip line. If you go a smidge, ok, we all get that as we age our lips get thinner, but not the look of more than the line of a pencil tip wider outside of your natural lip line. Trust me I have heard many men laughing and making terrible comments one a woman draws outside of her natural lip line. It's just not a good look.

[@NiniM8154]

For me, graying, thinning brows are *the* most aging part of the facial changes as we get older. I've considered microblading, but there are so many fantastic brow products now, I'll just experiment till I find the best one for me.

[@tigress63]

@@NiniM8154 Brows do tend to disappear as we age, but when I colour my hair I colour my eyebrows a natural colour that is either identical or a shade or two darker than my hair. I still have to pencil in my eyebrows as they have thinned out over the years. I didn't pluck the daylights out of my brows either. My neighbour had her eyebrows microbladed and then permanently tattooed but the colour changed on her and now her eyebrows are a weird greenish brown. It's also not the first time I've seen that happen with tattooing eyebrows either. Pencilling in is less expensive and you can alter the shape slightly as you age to suit the face better over the years.

[@NiniM8154]

@@tigress63 those brow "mascaras" are great for me. So easy, and a range of colors.

[@Chahlie]

I've gone on a mini dress spree the past few months, with very opaque and cable tights mind. I love the abstract print one and the brown houndstooth (with the hip pockets/large gold buttons). I was so young when that look was in that it doesn't seem 'antique' to me :) I've also gotten to the point where I don't need to impress anyone, just to wear clothes which make me happy, and which make others smile :)

[@robinallgold360]

[@user-jt7ou4rv4c]

I couldn't agree more about posture. I'm over 60 and I can't tell you how many compliments I get on my posture and have been mistaken for a younger age because of it

[@sustainfem]

I'd like to recommend starting and practicing yoga. It has helped my posture and flexibility greatly. I'm 72 and have friends the same age or younger who cannot get up off of couches, bend down to pick up something off the floor or even sit on it. I'm not bragging or trying to make others feel bad, but it's wonderful to maintain flexibility and it makes me feel so much younger. It has increased my strength as well.

[@elizabethashton9590]

Just because you aren't wearing the latest fashion doesn't mean you're not taking pride in your appearance. Today's social media is too pushy with gotta have, gotta have . . . . what not to wear if you don't want to look frumpy or old. People today are just trying to get by and spending money on things just to stay current with fashion is a waste of time and money in my opinion. If someone doesn't like you because of the clothes you wear or because they aren't the latest style, then that's THEIR problem, not yours.
