Fashion Faux Pas for the Fifty Plus Crowd

This was in my email today. Author Unknown.

So, I thought I'd share it to help give a little fashion help to some of my 50 or soon to be 50+ friends here in bloggy land. (yes I have taken notes for when I am there in a few years)


Dress code no no's for 50+



Many of us over 50, WAY over 50, or on the way to 50 are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We're unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current fashions.

Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:


1. A nose ring and bifocals

2. Spiked hair and bald spots

3. A pierced tongue and dentures

4. Miniskirts and support hose

5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads

6. Speedos and cellulite

7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar

8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor

9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge

10. Pierced nipples that hang below the waist

11. Bikinis and liver spots

12. Short shorts and varicose veins

13. Inline skates and a walker

And the ultimate 'Bad Taste' in fashion! for the 'Older folks'.....................

14. Thongs and Depends


Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your mind when you shop.
