How old were you when you stopped wearing sleeveless tops?

Or can we go on wearing them forever?
im 46 and trying to tone my arms as I love sleeveless things. I’m getting there and I’ve lost weight which helps.
but do you think there is an age ceiling anyway? What age does it just stop looking good?

I never wore them before 40, as I always had spotty upper arms, back and chest. That's now finally cleared up so I wear them with abandon now in my 50s.

about 23. But then I worked on my self esteem & self respect and started wearing whatever the fuck I wanted from about age 42 Grin

I have stopped wearing sleeveless dresses and tops in the summer as I have horrible crepe like wrinkled skin on the underside of the tops of my arms. I have never had willowy arms and this latest has just confirmed to me that a slight sleeve is more flattering and covers the worst of my imperfect arms. I prefer to try to dress to camouflage faults.

My mum stopped wearing them at 75ish....but that's only because she cba to shave her pits anymore.
I don't wear them because of scarring on the top of 1 arm which is very visible,

I have nice arms, but don't wear sleeveless tops because I don't like the look of them and I'm very pale, so sunscreen has to be worn. It's not an age thing, though. You like sleeveless tops, you should wear them!
