New Fashion Rules for Women Over 50?

By A. Scott Walton
Sources as credible and incredulous as Time magazine and NBC’s “Hoda and Kathie Lee” show both report that new rules of propriety are being suggested for fashionable women.
Following these new dictates - reported widely after a poll conducted by the British digest, Chef Diet, came to light – may require women of a certain age to overhaul their entire wardrobes.
According to reports, 2,000 women were probed for their opinions about age-appropriate attire. The response that’s drawn the most headline: all women should stop appearing in public wearing swimsuits of any kind at an aver age of 61. And the cut-off for wearing bikinis should be age 47.
But the survey results don’t stop there. Women weighed in on 13 other age-appropriate categories.
The attire, and “cut-off” dates, include:
Bikini, 47; Miniskirt, 35; Tube top, 33; Stilettos, 51; Belly piercing,35; Knee-high boots, 47; Sneakers, 44; Leather pants, 34; Leggings, 45; Ugg style boots, 45; One-piece swimsuit, 61; Tight vests, 44; Sheer blouses, 40; Long hair, 53; Ponytails, 51.
Do these mandates sit well with you? Or do you dress and think as if age ain’t nothing but a number?
