The fashion police tend to come down harder on ladies after they hit a certain age. While some rules for older women are silly, there are thresholds when it comes to dressing appropriately, says lifestyle writer Tracy Lee.
SINGAPORE: We’re all familiar with how parents of teenaged daughters might say, “Young lady, you’re not going out looking like that.”
While discussing ageing and the expectations people have of older women in their YouTube series Wonder & Wellness, former models Jade Seah, 40, and Sheila Sim, 39,: For instance, that women 50 and above cannot have long hair nor wear crop tops. Women who ignore these rules risk derision. We all have an older aunt or neighbour whom we might gossip about because of their overly skimpy Zumba outfits, circle contact lenses and heavy makeup.I used to have a set idea of what a mature woman should look like - until I turned 50 last year and embarked on some sartorial soul-searching.
But I did not consider that a global pandemic might kill off power dressing and turn athleisure into the status quo, or that climate change and menopausal hot flashes would make figure-hugging or long-sleeved outfits uncomfortable.
