What’s wrong with the advice to dress for your age

<h2>Once you look at options for age 50 and up, they get really crazy.</h2> <p>Apparently, everyone should have a white blazer, a little black dress, a nice handbag, low heels, flats, bright colors, and dresses that come below the knee. Cottons, linens, and cashmere are recommended. Jewelry should be tasteful, perhaps “dainty.”</p> <p>Some sites say you should wear high collars. Others say you should show cleavage.</p> <p>Some say you should stay with solids. Others say we should wear bold prints.</p> <p>Yes, these recommendations are tailored (pardon the expression) to women. You don’t even have to type “for women” into the search engines.</p> <h2>There’s just one problem.</h2> <p>Where are these people going? How often do they wear a white linen jacket (never mind white linen pants)? Where do they wear the little black dress?</p> <p>Do these well-dressed women walk more than a block? Real women wear sneakers.</p> <p>Handbags? Who are we kidding? Real women carry canvas totes and backpacks.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@goodwincathy/whats-wrong-with-the-advice-to-dress-for-your-age-d215570d41bb">Read More</a></p>
