So I'm 58, wearing quite well but only 5'2 and a full figured 14 so am a bit mumsy, my hair is fairly thick with a wave in it, I have a round face, think a cross between Dawn French/Kerry Catona/ Amanda Redman. I have had this image on my phone for ages, am I kidding myself and will I look ridiculous.

Im a 16 with a face like a hamster storing food and I still look better with short hair Grin
I grew it out from a pixie and it was past my chin but I hated it flapping around me so cut it off again.

It's nice but I look like you/same age and with that haircut I'd look like I was proper hard/just out of prison

Hmmm. I think it would be ok! I always think older women pull of short hair really well. It’s older women with long straggly hair that makes me cringe

Loving all the comments, as I won't be getting anything done soon I'll wait and see, but I know I'll just say "thin it out and give it a trim".

@Imtoooldforallthis

I'm not suggesting any of these would suit me, just that it's possible to have a stylish short haircut when your over 50.
I think the main reason these look good is because of the severe grey colour .

Don't worry you have until about May to think about it 😬

OK last one- I know you said no bob but this one could look amazing....
These haircuts always remind me of Peter Kay being Geraldine. Sorry.
