Dressing your age isn?t what it was in our mothers? day. It?s not even what it was the other day. Good job, too. The idea that a style, an aesthetic or a single item of clothing should become out of bounds simply because you cross an invisible Rubicon was always suspect but nowadays, when women keep their looks longer than any previous generation, it?s absurdly simplistic.
You don?t suddenly turn into a hobbit on your 36th birthday, so outlawing miniskirts for the over-35s doesn?t make a lot of sense. I have a friend who lacked confidence during her twenties. Circumstances changed, confidence soared, the body is fabulous, and at 40 she started wearing short skirts. She looks terrific.
