i'll wear my Hello Kitty stuff to the grave.
i saw Cher, in a tiny dress, and she looked so good! on Ophrah with Tina Turner age 68 (looking marvelous), they sang a song together.

what do you think is too old to try and look sexy?
horizontally striped tights, micro mini's, fishnets (the beigh ones are in their own catagory), mohawks, metal spikes, kitty ear headbands, long dangly hair accessories, belly shirts, brightly colored hair (colors not seen in nature), and tight clothes.

there comes a time, if you get old enough, when some of these things won't look sexy.

some women can pull it off into their 50's or more. i remember Goldie Hawn wearing shorts and combat boots on a talk show, and the reviewer said that since she's 48yrs old (it was quite a while ago, but i'll never forget this) she should not dress like that. but, why? her body was fit, she looked cute and sexy.

I think most of the things you mentioned aren't really about trying to look sexy to be honest! I don't understand people who say you should stop having fun with your hair or stop looking remotely 'alternative' when you turn a certain age.

I'm 20 and I still dye my hair bright red; and I don't think it's OMGSHOCKING, because I've had compliments on it from old ladies. The only reason I don't do blue/green/purple is because these colours wash my face out. I don't think too tight clothes look good on anyone; but fitted clothes are sexy regardless of age, imo. I think sexiness is more than just showing flesh, which I don't think is sexy at all if it's too much, regardless of age.

I can't really think of anything that's out of bounds for certain ages, providing the person knows that they aren't 15 anymore and aren't trying to cling onto their youth. If I see someone who's doing the mutton dressed as lamb thing, I think it's more the fact that they're trying to look much younger than they are, rather than that they're trying to look sexy (and denial isn't very sexy). If you get what I mean.

I think I'm too old for the **** I wear now tbh :\ I feel like a bit of a mink when I'm out this way.

atomicxfairie, i agree.good answer.sexy was the wrong word.

as the original punks are over 50, it's trippy to see. i don't see anyone looking like they dress "too young".

my look is playful, and never want to give it up. wearing a hello kitty backpack at age 60- yay or nay?

**** ring braclets at 70?
black lipstick at 65?
mohawk at 55?

this is for women, i'll start a thread tomarrow for men's fashion as they age.

i dont know how im going to start dressing older, im only 19 now so i can dress how i like just for my figure rather than my age.

i dont want to have to start changing my taste, middle aged dressing bores me immeasurably.
