Spot on Marie Anne. I am ten years older than you and I feel that I have finally found my style. I love tailored pieces - frills and flounces are just not me. I have more time now than when my children were small and can really enjoy dressing nicely - even if I'm only going shopping! It's never too late to look great 😊

[@manonsinclairladyofblairad9675]

I'm 62 and still re-evaluating my style every year. I noticed that when I wear good quality, well cut clothes, I feel more confident. So I got rid of cheap pieces. Thank you for your advice, you help us so much.

Yesterday, I saw a woman in her 50s who looked great. She was wearing jeans, a red and white striped top with a small dangly earring (hair was casually up), an oversized cardigan in a neutral buff colour, carrying a straw bag. Laced up shoes....like a trainer/chunky converse. She had got it spot on, just going food shopping in M&S. Her car was a little fun fiat. She was so natural but very well put together and had a quiet confidence. I love that. Very inspiring.....just like your videos.

@@MarieAnneLecoeur "Elegance is restraint" -- didn't Madame Coco Chanel say that?

[@starrbowie8649]

@@daffidalswuli Thrift stores feature so-called "second-hand" clothes that are more often than not brand-new. People buy clothes, put in closet, and by the time they notice them again they have put on too much weight or lost too much to fit well into the clothes. Sometimes the clothing donated was an unwelcome gift and so was never worn. Very often, depending on how close you are to cities, thrift stores are given whole lots of items from high-end stores who want to clear out unsold clothing to make room in stores for the new season's inventory. Many pieces donated are classic enough in style so that they are never out of style and can be tweaked in many ways. Often clothes that have been lightly worn by the original owner are very well-made and show no signs of wear like scuffed collars or cuffs, loosened seams, slight tears, spotting, or even pale ring around the collar. Many readers are well aware of the once-expensive treasures at a good thrift (regionals usually have the most selections), so I am just trying to share goods news with those who may feel a bit squeamish about seeking bargains where they incorrectly assume the clothing will not be of good quality to begin with and may show visible signs of wear.

If you're mutton (an older woman) you're not going to look like a lamb no matter what you do, but dressing like a teenager just makes you look ridiculous. Or crazy, like Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth and i live in Upstate New York USA. I'm 55yrs old and had open heart surgery last year. Upon advice from my Dr, i had to gain weight. Needless to say, none of my old clothes fit, so I have to buy all new clothes. It's a little tricky finding clothing to fit my new body. I've watched a few of your videos and now I feel like I've had a "how to" on dressing my new body. Thank you and have a nice day. 😊

[@litebriteeyes]

Great video as always! I had a wonderful trip to France with 2 older ladies, my aunt and her best friend. I was intrigued at how charming and attentive people were to them. In America older women become more invisible somehow. It was food for thought, because we should honor older generations. ❤ I loved so much about the French people I met.

[@vickiehodnett4360]

Marie-Anne: thank you for your style advice. As a 71 year old woman, I love classic pieces and especially blazers that can compliment an outfit. Your tips are fantastic and I must say I love being happy in my clothes and feeling confident no matter where I am going or doing.

[@24Jeeya]

Hello Vickie May I suggest sillhouettes that suit you, going for things you like and enjoy. My Mom rocks her style which is mainly nicely fitted trousers and blouses or tunics with long cardigans. She loves jewelry so that takes centre-stage. As for make up, she got subtler as the years have gone by. Ma always shops in pairs. If she finds a pair of trousers she likes will immediately look for a coordinating top - blouse or cardigan. Hope that helps.

Everything that you mentioned in this video holds true for me and was taught to me by my very Parisian mother. I really enjoy watching your videos because they remind me that dressing a little bit more chic every day helps with confidence.

Hello Marie-Anne, My Hungarian mother was an elegant chic lady. From her I learned the style of dressing simply, having less clothes but loving and wearing what you have. My mother encouraged me to attend Fashion School which was a an extensive 4 year program. I had European teachers and I learned that simplicity is the best way to look chic. I love watching your tutorials.

[@2000disneyland]

One of my favorite videos so far! I love, “wear good clothes” ... “your confidence will rise”. Too often people buy cheap trendy clothes, that quickly go out of style, and look dated. Not so with good clothes. Thank you 🙏

The best thing that ever happened to me was turning fifty. MY confidence improved yearly. Now at 64 I finally take the time and the trouble to wear the clothes that make me feel beautiful, comfortable and very "Chic" . Your advice and validation is so appreciated.

[@dinora417]

Thank you Marie-Anne for your wisdom: you are totally correct. In the United States we are too obsessed the “sexy” looks. They are anything but sexy ; they reek of vulgarity and bad taste

[@carolynsanner8253]

Totally agree! We have lost our sense of class: it's best use in appearance & behavior. Oh, beloved America, are you listening?

[@noeldeal8087]

I had to turn off a program about .... because the woman host had her breasts hanging out. I'm not watching that with my husband! I don't even show that much skin in my own home! It's not feminine at all, it's gross. It's funny, you don't see men showing off their body parts like that, ever! Why do women think is okay? Men know exactly what you're doing, and know you are quite aware that your boobs are hanging out and all you succeed in doing is losing their respect. In my world, respect is EVERYTHING!

[@ms_prescott_regrets]

Hallelujah sister! What happened to styles that Ginger Rogers, Joan Crawford and Audrey Hepburn wore? Many are classic pieces. Rita Hayworth was sexy but not vulgar. I used to watch the Oscars for the clothes but have been disappointed. Maybe someone someday will bring true class back.

[@frenchstyle7038]

Thank you for this video Marie-Anne! I could not agree more with all the mistakes you mentioned, especially looking overly sexy. I think it looks vulgar at any age. I find that I look sexier and more confident now that I am 55 than I ever did. I too love to pair my tweed blazers with jeans, that's one of my favorite combinations. Nothing looks more desperate than a woman trying to look 20 years younger. It's not always easy to grow old as our body goes through so many changes and we have to adjust our style along the way.

[@tinalettieri]

I will be 77 in September. Men still notice and it's because I am confident. Last year I was wearing a pair of indian silk print trousers. They were very beautiful full, not "sexy" and a strange man complimented me on them in a store! I never wore them again. I don't need strange men noticing my trousers. Especially in the Middle East where I live. But if they notice my overall look and are appropriate, bring it on. I'm single. ☺

[@tinalettieri]

I'm actually in Israel and "classic" isn't really a big style here. Most women go for trends even older ones and I could do a whole sociological study on why but it's irrelevant. Clothes are expensive too although there are some coming in from Italy that are reasonably priced like the linen dress I bought the other day for 50€. It's very simple. It does have a handkerchief hem but the highest part is just below my knees so I can have it modified if I want. I'm an artist so my "style" can be a bit varied. When I went into the store where I got the dress and which is owned by a French woman, btw, I had on a madras patchwork maxi skirt and a plain linen top. And we sort of joked about my preference for variety. I actually got that outfit in Italy a couple of years ago, but it's fine for going out doing errands in the morning. When I go to church I dress more elegantly. I never, ever wear trousers let alone jeans and my hemlines vary but I try to keep it simple. Not easy here.

Comme d’habitude, de bons conseils. I would add that a well-tailored tweed skirt, which is something that can be stylish for a long time, can be “modernized” with a silk top or cashmere sweater, and shoes with a bit of a heel. As for not following trends religiously, a small accessory in the “in” colour of the year can keep an outfit looking current. For example, I own - and wear - some quality pieces of jewellery, but if the season’s colour is something that doesn’t really suit me (e.g. tangerine, khaki, yellow, etc.) some inexpensive costume jewellery or an inexpensive scarf with those colours can keep the look fresh. And then I can donate it to charity.

I’m guilty of the “feast or famine” mentality, some days I make no effort at all. I’m trying to get into an everyday, minimal effort routine, some blush, concealer and mascara, doing something easy with my hair, wearing a necklace or earrings, etc. I got lazy during lockdown. Now we’re in the most critical drought ever, I’m trying to stretch an extra day out of each shampoo and styling, and severely limit laundry (and outdoor watering, but that’s not style-related, of course), my biggest water usage categories, it’s tough. I air everything in front of a fan after wearing, after inspecting for dirt/stains, of course, or steam it, then wear it as long as I can. I have to batch my different colors for ages to get full washer loads, but have enough to manage, except for undies and nighties, I have to do a load of those every week or 10 days. No more of my beloved extra rinses, the situation is dire, our reservoirs are mud holes and cities are full of wildlife desperate for water, and it’s only July, first chance of rain is November.

Good job, Marie-Anne. Inspiring women to be confident in their appearance and in their presentation of self is important. You are helping them/us. xxxx

[@melanierose7283]

You are such a blessing, Marie-Anne! So many tips and great advice that I had never been given, and am now finding from you! I love your love of life and smile!! Tomorrow I shall begin curating my wardrobe. xoxo

Excellente vidéo Marie-Anne , comme toujours!

[@liselavigne7631]

I've been working on my style thanks to your videos. I watched you for months and months before starting to do anything about it. I had gained weight and developed the habit of just wearing leggings or jeans with baggy top unless I had date or speaking engagement. I didn't want to buy new clothes until I lost the weight but in doing so I looked not my best at all. I am so grateful for your videos. I'm also thankful for your courses and your style subscription. I love your Style Journal and the book I ordered called How to Be Chic & Elegant. Thank you Marie-Anne!!!!

[@saraheschweiler4939]

Hello Marie-Anne! Thank you so much for this encouraging video. I agree with all your style tips. 💗

[@moumitadeb9337]

Another excellent and helpful video 😊👍 I’m in my 40s and I meant so much from your videos ! Your warmth, humour and charm ( apart from style etc) is something to admire and aspire for.

[@christinec.2376]

Thank you very much Marie-Anne!

Yesterday was my 80th birthday and inside one day I am 50 and the next 18. Hard to know what to wear anymore. Not like my granddaughters but not old and dowdy either. Maybe we need a consultation

[@tamiewert808]

Happy birthday!

[@barbarahaynes7036]

At 79 I still struggle with what to wear, still love my jeans and tees, still trying to keep my confidence up!

[@1Nida]

So happy to have found you and subscribed today! This 56 year old American woman agrees with you 💯%. 🇫🇷🇺🇸 I have been mixing tailored and trendy lately by wrapping the base of my messy bun with a tidy braid.

[@annmcdonald6180]

Excellent advice, thank you so much

[@lovingit6448]

I have recently found your channel and I love it, great content and well elaborated. Thank you.

[@robinsabo6932]

I love all your ideas and advice! I live in an area where most don’t seem to care how they look, and even though this past year and a half I’ve been staying home (pandemic) most of the time, I still want to look my best, if only to look at myself in the mirror!

[@indayhans8943]

Just love love love you, thanks for the tips.

[@marytran1719]

Thank you for sharing very interesting information!! I agree with you 100 %👍👍👍👍👍

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

Marie-Anne you are such an inspiration. I appreciate your videos. You are spot on with these 10 points. I'm a couple years older than you and my fashion is definitely evolving. I love dressing well but not too fussy with quality pieces. I especially love that you mentioned not trying to look perfect.

[@eg8419]

Thanks for the upbeat video .

[@janelleespinosa6247]

I only just found your channel and subscribed! This is so true. I believe that since I still at 63 have a good shape ( because I work at it! ) I was dressing too young. So now, I am enjoying buying classic pieces, not overdoing that either. So it's great to hear it from you. You make so much sense!

[@wormsquish]

Marie-Anne, thank you very much for your wonderful advice.

[@marissaclaridge7627]

Lovely Marie Anne....so helpfulxxx thank youxxx

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

As an American woman over 50, I think the most common style boo-boos for women in my age group are: 1) dressing too young/skimpy, 2) wearing clothes that are way too small for their bodies, 3) not ironing/steaming, and 4) just plain giving up by wearing baggy loungewear and ratty sneakers everywhere. I’d rather wear my joggers and tees in nice silk versions, with a blazer and low heels, it’s just as comfy, but not sloppy. No: cutoffs/short shorts, bra tops or very cropped tops, too-girlish clothes, ever, these are teenager styles. Floral rompers are for little girls! Wear a sophisticated jumpsuit instead.

[@mariannewilson753]

This American woman over 60 agrees with you!

[@teresacarle294]

💯% with you on silky joggers, but prefer to pair w/silky button down shirt as a topper to a soft t-shirt or tank. Mixes "biz w/pleasure" to create an elegant casual feel. ❤️Blazers, but the latter tends to be too hot🔥 for my comfort unless planning to be indoors w/central air ❄️. 😍Every fiber of my preppy roots thrill @ the textures, layers, colors, & classic silhouette of the "dark academia aesthetic." In fact, it's giving me fresh inspo to revive my closet full of beloved suits & corp gear. While I fully embrace a subtle, sexy librarian look 📚 our🌡️sizzling ☀️LA climate is a buzz kill. 🤔Marie-Anne is right about pairing modern fashion pieces w/classic pieces to inject vitality. 📸 British Fashionista Trinny Woodall manages to mix athleisure in a bright, bold, high-end glamour way🤩. 😊Quite content to do my more muted version of casual glamour in simple gray, black, or navy. Sporty casual in light, softly draping, breathable fabrics has always resonated with me & suits my figure⏳. 🥰Love athleisure, but not talking utilitarian gym gear 🏃‍♀️. 🚫 Leggings. Haven't even owned jeans👖 for well over a decade. 🥵Simply too hot & constricting for me. 😉 Actually enjoy seeing ladies in hip boho chic, prairie style, or charming cottage clothing.🌹Wore more simple romantic tea dresses in the 90s, but that ship ⛵ has sailed for me. Feel silly in them now😖, but feel they can still be flattering on others. 🚫Ultra fussy feminine♀️ (or extreme ♂️ masculine) fashion detailing in any form has NEVER worked me😱. I am a major girly-girl 🎀, but simplicity suits me. Quite content living vicariously through others to indulge that instinct. 💚 Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@ms_prescott_regrets]

You summed us up nicely. Just add Southern California where I live and pulled back faces and overt boob jobs.

[@CH-1984]

@Kimberly, Question-is tucking in a blouse or t-shirt in the front okay for our age? I have a bit of a tummy, being 15 pounds overweight. A jacket may help too.

[@pamelaspooner8335]

So many times I want to say to a young woman " Did you dress like that when you were first dating your husband?" Be honest, any man will notice attractive women and if you keep yourself up he will keep looking at you. Looking good helps you feel good and so it's a win-win.

[@lovereikiASMR222]

You are a fashion Angel!! Thank you! xx
