Trends Out Of Style In 2025 And What To Wear Instead.

[@teriwills5876]

Hello from Alaska! I love that you show photos of your past self in your illustrative examples. We all buy into fads/trends, and the fact that you have too is very relatable. Thanks for your research and tips!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you

[@LauraShort-l7y]

Great explanation of trend vs fad! The examples really brings the definitions home. Glad to see the strange front tuck / half tuck fading out! Glad your wrist/arm is on the mend. Happy 2025

[@buffys3477]

Love that sweater! And the comments from ladies who’ve been wearing the same style for years and refuse to consider anything new😂I’m imagining a lot of 3/4 length trousers and tunic tops . Have a lovely Xmas.

[@gillmolony6781]

Sorry about your wrist. A friend has a very bad break a year ago and it looked doubtful as to whether she's get back the function and if the deformity would go. Thanks to her persistence in exercise and acupuncture, her Dr is delighted with the pedigrees and so is she. Merry Christmas and thank you for all your hard work throughout the year.

[@jeanklemm2153]

Had to smile watching you do the wrist exercises, I remember them well after I fell and broke my left wrist just over 12 months ago. Very painful 😮 and what a nuisance. So now I also have a plate in there and a lovely scar to show for it. It will take time but keep up with the exercises and you will get full mobility back. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Yes I have the plate and lovely scar 😴. I'm massaging it with Bio oil. My wrist is twice the size of my healthy one from the swelling still.

[@louisefenech7657]

Your hair looks really lovely today!

[@stellacollins3114]

Love a classic as my basic wardrobe but I do like a bit of a trend item to accompany it and keep things fresh, throw on the odd fad and it makes me feel upto date, I tend to alter clothes anyway so if you have something unique no one will know if it’s a trend or not 😁 , oh I got the M&S putty coloured boots, absolutely love them , hope your wrist gets better soon . Love to hear your take on things you make sense ❤️

[@pamelalyon3264]

In the 60s a big fad was a Nehru jacket, and I had one. It lasted less than a year. But at that time I felt very "with-it". The last fad I wore (age 16-17).

[@trishagoodwin4069]

Actually, they were quite popular in the ninties, here in the UK.

[@valeriecoopet9897]

Nicely explained! I kind of sensed this, but you really clarified it. I’m too old for fads, but just the right age for trends!

[@graceblanchard8737]

Great channel for us casual 60+ women. ❤

[@catherinestoop5902]

I hope you heal quickly lovely lady.Merry Christmas.❤

[@ruthmalcolm3028]

This was interesting, thank you. Mustard never suits me so I didn’t buy into that. And I just don’t like animal prints or metallic shoes/ boots but sandals are lovely! . Most of my choices are neutral classics. Love burgundy, it’s great to see all those choices in the shops. Thank you, I always look forward to your channel. Xx

[@lilithowl]

Oh! The colours of that jumper and your makeup are very flattering on you. Struck ne immediately.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you so much

[@carolhoousendove560]

I have a coat that is forty years old. Will wear next week. I'm a unique dresser. My way as Sinatra sang.

[@susie7823]

Lovely video. Sorry to hear about your wrist, I hope it heals quickly. Happy New Year to you and your loved ones x

[@ritapearl-im3wv]

To me, this is silly. But classics and wear them. They never go out of style.

[@pamelalyon3264]

I fully agree

[@Myover50fashionlife]

A proper trend has the potential to become a classic. A fad doesn’t . Just don’t buy fads. Stick to classic shapes is the moto of the video. Thank you for agreeing.

[@alyssthomas2771]

what is a but classic?

[@paulabuck5976]

@@alyssthomas2771i think she meant “buy”

[@lindyd8837]

Your sweater is gorgeous! What a fabulous mix of colors!

[@laurettabartolini8135]

You are so nice to listen to. Greetings from South Africa

[@MichelleHawkins-p3b]

I absolutely love your sweater!

[@carlsenlifeafter60carlsen11]

Most of my friends, my age don’t have any clue about fashion. One friend says oh you’re always been into that fashion thing I wear classic simple wardrobe I love knowing what’s in style and trans. I don’t always buy them, but I keep up with your videos.😊🇺🇸

[@trishhickson1550]

@@carlsenlifeafter60carlsen11 I know what you mean. My friends my age are mostly the same. And my younger friends come to that!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Walking around cities you'll see all age groups ignore trends or fads and wear their likes but dated items aren't seen either so important to know what is dated I think.

[@carlsenlifeafter60carlsen11]

Yes, agree I love Lilly Silk ,,Quince,😊

[@trishagoodwin4069]

Same here! You should walk around the streets of Inverness! I am 70 and always been interested in fashion. Its difficult here, partly due to the weather, which changes swiftly, due to the mountains, but also lack of good shops. However, most women my age, don't even seem to try. I don't think its money, several of my friends say they're not interested in how they look - but they worry about hell if they are seen as older than they are! Work that one out!

[@annareid4577]

When did you break your wrist ?! I did mine on 31st Oct . One doctor wanted to do surgery and put in a plate, but the consultant over rode her and I've just had a cast. It's now off and i have the splint and exercises to do. Like you, i can hardly bend it at all !! It's my dominant wrist and i live alone so it's been a nightmare !! Good luck with the physio and thanks for an informative video ( love the ivory boots and have been wearing some similar for the past 3 years !!) x

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Mine was done end November. It was the consultant that recommended surgery. A friend had the same consultant and she was advised no surgery so the consultant seems she weighed up options for each of us fir our own damage. I broke distal radius. The exercises hurt don't they!!

[@YorMamma]

Anyone else smile every time she says "Jumper"? I wonder what the background is for that name?

[@Myover50fashionlife]

It’s what we call a sweater in the uk . The shops do too. It’s the same in Australia . I don’t know the origin .

[@YorMamma]

@ yup, I know what it is.

[@Edelweiss-ql3rh]

@@Myover50fashionlife I am from the US, We had "cardigan sweaters" that buttoned down the front and '"pullover sweaters" that you pulled over your head. A jumper was a sleeveless dress that you wore over a shirt or a blouse. My ex referred to the top of his naval uniform as a jumper.

[@rosemarycrabtree5892]

Great definition of fad vs trend. Thank you for raising our awareness.❤

[@GladBurgio]

I like your explanation of fad vs trend. Changed = Trend Altered = Fad Thanks!

[@marybataglia4081]

I love your videos and look forward to watching more in 2025. ❤ Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 😅🎄🎉😊

[@Edelweiss-ql3rh]

Winter weight infinity scarves are great because they don't come undone as easily and if they do they can't fall off.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

That’s true 😀

[@flowerpower3618]

Beautiful sweater ( jumper) on you

[@esmesaunter5605]

Looking at the 2025 trends or fads there seems to be a lot of things that our age group won't be wearing.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

That's always the same. Plus out and about no real age group wears the fads😃.

[@bridgethope5375]

Love your hair

[@momdad5368]

Browns and burgundys have never looked good on me. Some people look gorgeous in them. I wear my favorite colors and enjoy them.

[@helenstewart2085]

Nearly laughed at your laced, side zipped boots look like my steelcap work boots, may have to clean mine😂😂😂

[@annettekortmann1214]

Sorry but this green pullover with the pink stripes looks very frumpy to me! It' s difficult not to look frumpy in round neck pullovers.

[@trishhickson1550]

I love the jumper you are wearing but as I couldn’t find it I’m guessing it isn’t available now? I hope you don’t mind me asking but just wondering how you broke your wrist? Hoping I could possibly avoid doing whatever you did!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Hi, it is available in a different colour and I listed it. They bring out different colours of the style over the years. Under wearing in the description

[@trishhickson1550]

@ ah, I looked but didn’t like the others.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

@trishhickson1550 I love the look of one of them . Very cheerful. Mine is 2 years old.

[@marshacappy159]

That blue suits you perfectly.

[@sarahr.2875]

Don't give away the mustard-color cardigan. Mustard with leopard scarf? What a BEAUTIFUL combination.

[@Christina40mtl]

I’m sick of cropped everything! Bring back regular lengths!

[@Jennifr1966]

I've heard suede will be out of style soon. What about in boots? I love short uggs!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Suede has only just come in for autumn and winter. It’s a material so therefore not a passing fad so won’t go out as such.. Wear suede if you love suede. I love it. Ignore any mention of suede going out when it’s only just arrived I’d say. Obviously not in the summer or spring but great for the winter. Short uggs are being worn by many on Instagram. Wear them too.

[@karolmolpus9536]

Metallic is also a classic for evening wear, don’t you think?💭

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Yes I do

[@karolmolpus9536]

Happy and Healthy Christmas 🎄 🎶😇

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you and to you. Yet here I am with aching stiff broken wrist and stinking runny cold. Oh well 🙄

[@lindabolique72]

I just bought a tulle skirt. Wondering how long it will be in style.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

I think it won’t date. Wear it with a casual top.

[@karolmolpus9536]

Carpel tunnel or rebuilt thumb? Where did I miss this???

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Broken wrist . I had to have plates and pins put in to stabilise the bones.

[@dennishilton2543]

I would never buy metallic boots or the ones with all the buckles

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Your style personality must be more classic then mine. There isn't a right or wrong in that regard.

[@maryjohnston2711]

The sweater is very nice.

[@sandradee2417]

curious - will sheer garments be a trend or fad?

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Trends tend to be practical

[@evapeat5020]

Love your metallic boots, they will always be in, I think

[@angelaclements1244]

Remind me of abba

[@MrsH296]

Wear what you like & feel comfortable in.

[@MaureenEdden]

What about dresses?

[@Jennifr1966]

I've worn burgundy for years!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Yes colours don't go out of style in my view. At times we see them in abundance in the shops though, like burgundy and chocolate now.

[@corinnahelm6135]

With total respect, you might want to consider your hairstyle

[@Myover50fashionlife]

It needs a cut badly but dealing with a broken wrist and operation everything else has taken a backseat. Thank ypu for the reminder. I'm lucky if I can file my nails let alone get dressed.

[@user-yd4yr5hr3s]

[@karolmolpus9536]

Yes, chocolate

[@AngelaHavey]

I love mustard and burgundy.

[@luluandmeow]

Confused explanation about changing an item to make it into a fad/trend. And tassels? they've been out of style for years and years, why even mention them?

[@Myover50fashionlife]

@luluandmeow yes you are right , tassels have been out for a while. I just get so fed up with the word trend being used for fads which encourages short term waste of money. I wanted to explain the difference so as we stop falling for short term must buys because oh everyone will be wearing them! And the reality is they don't.
