I'm 38. What should I wear at my age?

Just read another thread where someone of 28 was worrying about some clothes and I was astounded that some people would think some clothes are age-anappropriate.

So - I am size 10/12, 38 years old. What should I be wearing. Or more to the point what shouldn't I be wearing.

where what you like, as long as it fits properly, it suits you and you have the right shape for it

Not

Lycra leggings, but that applies to everyone, not just us (I'm one year older than you).

Lurex boob tubes, (as above)

Your pants on the outside of your clothes, unless you are actually Supergirl.

Other than that, feel free!!!

A beige cardi and a resigned expression.

where what the hell you want!!!

A shell suit and high heels, ever, even if the alternative is nakedness and/or frostbite.

I'm 39 too and wearing my pj's and fluffy dressing gown. Not too inclined to change into real clothes yet.

cyteen · 20/04/2008 13:05

I'm 32 and wearing: black dress; stripey Primark pyjama bottoms; stripey socks with a big hole in. Don't let me catch any of you biting my style, now.

beanie, do not let other peoples insecurities get under your skin (and yes, i do mean mine, as expressed on the thread in Q). im sure you have plenty enough of your own to worry about without finding new ones on a sunny sunday afternoon!

iamdingdong · 20/04/2008 13:13

I'm 37 and wearing jeans and a white t shirt with pink fluffy slippers

KatieScarlett2833 · 20/04/2008 13:19

Croc slippers too, somebody shoot me!

Wear well-fitting clothes. Too small or too large look equally dreadful.
Also have a deep hatred of hipsters with three inches of arse cleavage and tasteless thong exposure...
