Mutton Dressed as Lamb

Hahhaa. Great thread title! I agree with you. It is not only awkward to see but I think its a bit inappropriate. I can understand the pressure women feel these days but it should be known that you can grow old with grace.

This is a nice discussion. You think that people (especially aged ones) should consider their looks, while your friend believes that everyone must have the rights to dress as they want. I myself am 51, and sometimes I forgot my age and tend to choose clothes that are too young for me, but thank God my son always reminded me. I do consider my looks because I'm still working, and my work demands meeting a lot of people. You know, first impressions do matter, in my country. But I guess there are also other women who doesn't have to care about her looks because she's alone, or her family also dress that way.

I had my fair share of fashionable clothing when I was in my youth. At my present age I don't think it looks good anymore to dress like a teenager trying to look young again. It is unbecoming of women in middle ages to wear miniskirts or bodyfits just to compete with the younger generations. They end up looking more like a wh9re than the the long gone youth that they are still dreaming of.

A favourite line from a favourite song of mine is: "The people round they said for years, he's acting like a kid. But I never knew I could not fly, and so I did." What young people need to understand is that a great number of older people are still 20 in their minds, with the same desires and needs of a younger person. If they are happy with dressing young, or trying to ook young, whose business is it but theirs? I, for instance, am 65 and have my hair half way down my back. So what? I'm comfortable with it. The ones I feel sorry for are those who think they have to "act their age", and give up their youthful outlook, grow old and miserable, and die unhappy. Lash

It is only the cine actresses who dress like that even in their old age like a teenager.And there can be common people too dressing like that.But why should that disturb us?Every individual has their own rights to dress in a way that they like.Some old people dress like that and say that they feel confident and strength like young people.If they can be active like that they will not be a burden to anybody.

well i think everyone have the right to dress beautiful and not based on their age.if i have enough time and money i will spend more caution to dress myself also.we just visited our aunt this weekend and she is so happy after we said she look very beautiful under the new dress.

Clothes and accessories are really a reflection of our attitude and outlook towards life. You’ll see plenty of teenagers who inspite of their freshness, look completely silly in fancy dresses while there are many elderly women who carry off gaudy dress and colours with aplomb. Now, I’m sure I’ve not seen any lady aged 50s or 60s roam around in mini skirts but other than that, I’m not really sure if I can categorize between teenage dress and aged dress…I mean I’ve seen aged ladies with well toned bodies flaunt tube tops and noodle straps and they do look good enough. So yes, I would have to agree with your friend, as long as the lady is not making an fool of herself and carrying it off well, she can look good in any dress.

I don't have any against with oldies dressed like teenagers,as long as it doesn't makes them look trying hard at all. They have their rights to act like teenagers,it is only their physical body that aged with time,but their hearts and feeling doesn't seem to get old. I only criticized those oldies who wear skimpy dresses,revealing dress that shows their cleavage,or very short dresses that almost show up their butts. One must learn the proper way of dressing if you want people to pay you some respect. have a good day friend
